Whenever the warmer seasons rolls around, many of us will want to get hydrated and fresh looking skin.

The high street cosmetics retailer is still offering up to half-price off selected skincare including the Garnier 3.5% Vitamin C Brightening Serum. Originally priced at £12.99 for a 30ml bottle, the offer has slashed the price to just £8.66 – a third off the RRP.
With near universal praise on the retailer’s website, this “unreal” serum has been infused with a potent mix of Vitamin C, salicylic acid and lemon extract to deliver “instant results” that targets dullness and also acne scarring. There’s also niacinamide to help give the skin the boost of hydration it needs for summer.
The Garnier Vitamin C Serum can also help to tackle the signs of ageing, as the main ingredient is known to target the appearance of dark spots. You also don’t have to worry about it being greasy, as many beauty buffs say this serum “sinks straight into the skin”.

One three-star review read: “I found this a little oily on my skin and I don’t think it sank into my skin very well. It did make my skin soft after a while, but I’m not sure it would be my go to product. Good size for the price and you only need a small amount so would last for a while.”
