The Garnier dark spot treatment

Garnier Skin Renew Dark Spot Overnight Peel Clinical


A few days ago, my Garnier test product arrived from Bzzagent.

It comes in a small green bottle with a quick pump dispenser.

Garnier describes the product as a "Gentle leave-on glycolic peel" that "speeds exfoliation to fade dark spots, even skin tone, brighten skin, [and] smooth texture. It contains Vitamin C, which is well known as a skin revitalizer. I think that's what the Ascorbyl Glucoside is in the ingredient list. Amongst the other "usual suspects" found in skincare products, I noticed another of the ingredients was algae extract, which is also good for the skin.

Last night was Day Two.
All I can say so far is it has a pleasant and light orange scent, spreads easily and soaks in quickly. It does feel very smooth. I might even say I feel a little smoother already, but it's too soon to tell.

I have some uneven skin tone, dull spots, blemishes, and roughness, so I look forward to the next few weeks of testing.

Some words of warning: it contains Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA), so you may be sensitive to the sun and would be well advised to wear sunscreen, protective clothing and limit your sun exposure.
