Garnier Pure Shine Control Moisturiser

After having tried just about every shine control technique, foundation and moisturiser there is available, I spotted Garnier pure long lasting shine control moisturiser, I was only a teenager, so I didn't have much money, and Garnier products always seemed so expensive, but I thought I would give it a try.

The texture.

It has a thick, slightly gloopy texture and it dries fast so you need to apply it fast! It absorbs into the skin really quickly, but make sure you only apply one layer, if you apply more than one, it starts to flake.

It has a pale blue colour, like most oil reducing moisturisers.

The smell.

It has a very noticeable smell when you open the bottle, it smells of clay and zinc, it's a pleasant, fresh smell. But when you apply it to the skin, the smell seems to disappear.

The price.

Around £5 a bottle (depending on where you get it from)

Active ingredients.

The active ingredients in this are white clay, zinc and an anti bacterial agent.

Does it work.

Yes it does! It kept my skin matte and oil free all day, without having to re apply.It absorbs quickly and the effects are noticeable immediately. It can be used alone or under make up.
