New L’oreal Garnier BodyLight Body Scrub and Body Lotion

When Garnier brought their skincare into Malaysia a year ago, I would pause by the counter every so often to check it out. The lemony yellow packaging of the Light line was very eye catching in a pharmacy filled with white clinical bottles. I’d sniff the lemon essence and play with the testers but I never got round to trying it. I’d only tried the Garnier tissue mask.

A year later, I was kindly invited by Garnier to the media launch of a new product in the Garnier Light line – the BodyLight Brightening Exfoliating Scrub and BodyLight Whitening Hydrating UV lotion. Yes, Garnier has expanded from face to body. This is so you look even toned all over yes? 🙂

The 3 main ingredients in the Bodylight line are:-

  • Lemon Essence – for exfoliating and illuminating the skin
  • Mulberry Extract – for suppressing and preventing uneven skin ton
  • UV Filters – to protect from the sun and further uneveness

I tested the products in situ and I can tell you that from a first impression, the Bodylight Exfoliating Scrub is simply wonderful! My skin was so smooth after the exfoliation. The body lotion is light and feels refreshing and importantly, sinks right in without feeling sticky! The lemon scent is still very strong and that bugs me a little to be honest but it dissipates after a while.Continue Reading

Review: Skincare: Garnier Skin Naturals Light Whitening Infusion Tissue Mask

I was traveling all day yesterday the length and breadth of the country… ok its a slight exaggeration but I was on the road for most of the day under the hot sun (thank goodness I had my sunscreen applied liberally!). When I got home in the evening, I was dog tired. After my shower, my eyes fell on this Garnier Skin Naturals Light Whitening Infusion Tissue Mask I’d had on my dresser for a while.

I decided on a whim to try it to see what it was like. So, after cleansing my face, I opened up the foil pack and spread the mask on my face. Unfortunately, I cannot find any information about the Garnier Skin Naturals Light range online except for this old article. From what I can tell by an online search, the Garnier Light range is targeted at the Asian market where all whitening ranges are targeted. Continue Reading

Garnier UV Protect SPF 50 Sunscreen with Mexoryl

Paris B 15 Comments

My favourite sunscreen for the face is the L’oreal UV Perfect SPF50 – Anti dullness. It doesn’t seem to suit everyone though. Many people complain about the fact it makes their skin oily and some others have complained of breakouts.

I passed by the Garnier counter at Watson’s a few days ago and I spotted something new – the Garnier UV Protect SPF50 Sunscreen with PA+++. I scanned the back of the box and saw that it contained Mexoryl, which is a chemical block for UVA and UVB sun rays. I couldn’t find any information on this sunscreen online at all nor have I seen anything in print in the news. Perhaps I’m looking in the wrong places, but the only Garnier sunscreens I can find online are by Ambre Solaire which we don’t find here. This was manufactured by Garnier in Indonesia, so I’m wondering if this Garnier UV Protect sunscreen is only found in Asia. Thus far, I think so, just like the L’oreal UV Perfect is only found in Asia. Continue Reading
