Combination of Day & Night Serum 

Here is my honest review based on my personal experience, Most people, like social media influencers and even in the Garnier official website, claiming that using both Garnier vitamin c day and night serum helps to get double brightening effect and 2 times faster dark spot reduction. But the reality might surprise you!

Reality of using Day & Night serum 

Don’t trust everything you see on social media ! Find the correct information and then follow it up accordingly. Here the actual truth about using Garnier Vitamin C day and night serum won’t help your skin glow, but it can make your skin worse.

• Garnier Vitamin C Day serum contains 3.5% Vitamin C and Yuzu lemon extract
• The Night serum has a higher concentration of vitamin c which is 10% pure Vitamin C
• Combining these two serums morning and night won’t result in healthier or brighter skin ; instead, it can cause irritation, itching, red bumps, Acne and dark spots.
• Vitamin C is essential in skincare, but using higher concentrations can detrimental, Moderation is key
• Garnier Vitamin C serum has a high concentration of vitamin c and combining day and night serums won’t be preferable.

Both Garnier’s Bright Complete Day & Night repair serums work well for all skin types. However, use either the day serum or night repair serum, not both simultaneously. If you experience irritation, itching or Breakouts after using, discontinue and take care of your skin. Results may vary and your skin will not react instantly.
