Garnier NUTRITIONISTE ULTRA-LIFT Serum and Cream

This is a relatively new product from Garnier and while I have not typically been the biggest fan of Garnier products (nothing bad, I just never really see them do much of anything, good or bad for me), I decided to buy this product on a whim as it appealed to my laziness of mixing a serum and facial cream into one and thanks to the wonderful world of CVS Beauty Club, was on sale.  The product works with a pump and unlike many pumps allows me to see the product being pushed to the top so I don’t feel like its being wasted. The pumps come out in relatively controlled bursts so it’s hard to over pump, and the product is visibly consisting of a serum like half and a lotion like half. The instructions say to use for day and/or night, but be warned it does not have a sunscreen so it needs to be used in conjunction with a sunscreen for your day cream vs. using a day cream with a built in sunscreen already. A couple of reviews I have read complain about the scent, but if you have used Garnier products before and liked the citrus like scent, it’s essentially the same.  I have been using the product for the past 3 weeks and have to admit I really like the texture and feel of the product at night and find it has cut down some of my product steps. I tend to only use it in the morning when I am not getting fully dressed face wise as it is very emollient for day use. Given that the product seems to still be on sale (I checked at CVS prior to writing this review) I would give it a chance if you are currently combining a serum and cream as part of your nightly routine. $13.59 ~Elizabeth
