My Skin Type- I have very oily, acne-prone, very sensitive skin but during winters it kind of becomes normal to dry.

MY TAKE ON GARNIER FAIR MIRACLE FAIRNESS CREAM-

This cream comes in a super cute tube and outer carton with pink and black letters, which make it look super attractive and you can't just go out of a store without buying it. The cap of this is white in color and the cream has a medium consistency. The cream is whitish in color and spreads on easily onto the skin but dries pretty fast so you need to blend it with super fast hands or blending brush! This fairness cream smells a bit flowery but neither too mild nor too strong. The smell vanishes within seconds of application on my skin.

Now, so I used this cream in the morning and have been doing this since a week now. I applied it and it just vanished into the skin leaving no oily/greasy layer behind. My skin look really clean, bright and glowing. It never ever broke me out nor did it cause any irritation. However, this is not at all moisturizing and so, I use it over my normal moisturizer and that works pretty well for my skin types. But, the problem is that if you use too much of it, then it will leave behind a whitish cast, like all fairness creams generally do. If you have a dark skin tone then this will leave behind whitish lines on your skin, which I am sure you would not like.

 
However, for my medium-fair skin tone, it works pretty well, keeps oil away for like 6-7 hours, during winters! :D But I am sure the staying power would be much less during the scorching summer months. Overall, this cream is definitely on of my most favorite, non-moisturizing, fairness creams as it keeps the skin glowing for over 5 hours, after which the glow gradually decreases. This garnier face cream keeps my skin looking clean too, honestly, it does, believe me! I totally am loving this cream but dry skin will find it very very drying. 

PROS-

1) Very affordable
2) Keeps the skin glowing, gives you temporarily  fair skin and makes the skin looking clean for over 5 hours
3) Leaves no oily layer behind but rather keeps oil away from the skin
4) Instantly brightens up the skin
5) Packaging is so cute
6) Travel-friendly
7) Gets absorbed immediately
8) Smells really nice
9) Never ever caused any irritation and never broke me out
10) Good for oily and very oily skin types, during summers
11) Availability

CONS-

1) Dries out the skin, so dry skinned beauties stay away or use a moisturizer beneath
2) I do need to moisturize my skin before applying this during winters
3) Will definitely leave a whitish cast if you have a dark skin tone or if you do not blend it fast or if you use too much of it.
4) 12 hours claim is a bit too much! :P
5) So many chemical ingredients :-O
6) You need to be quick in blending it

Before and After Garnier Fairness Cream

Final verdict- I am definitely getting this again and again till I find something better :-D For me, this worked nicely, keeps my skin oil free, clean and bright! I love this Garnier Fair Miracle Fairness Cream and recommend this to all who have light-medium skin tone. However, don't forget to moisturize your skin before using this.
