Davina McCall has revealed a budget-friendly beauty secret, praising Garnier's Vitamin C Fresh & Bright Hydrating Sorbet Cream as 'unlike anything I have used before.' The £5 product, which contains brightening Niacinamide and Vitamin C, has become a staple in the presenter's routine.
In an Instagram ad for Garnier, Davina shared her love for the cream, noting its ultra-light, sorbet-like texture that melts into the skin. She said: "It works like a primer. It's amazing to put makeup on top of." She also highlighted its "great smell, unbelievable texture" and described the glow as "amazing."
What makes the cream special?
The non-sticky, non-greasy formula is powered by 4% Niacinamide and Vitamin C, a combination known for brightening and boosting radiance. Niacinamide also helps visibly minimise enlarged pores, improve uneven skin tone, and strengthen the skin's natural barrier. The product is suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin.
Shoppers can purchase the cream for as little as £4.95 at LookFantastic, £5 at Boots, and £7.50 at Sainsbury's and Tesco (or £5 with a Nectar or Clubcard). Garnier also offers alternative versions, including Hyaluron Fresh & Plump and Salicylic Fresh & Matte.
Shopper reviews are glowing
The cream has earned an impressive 4.5 out of 5 stars from hundreds of reviews on the Garnier website. One fan said: "Amazing! I bought this a while ago hoping that it would help improve my dry skin, nothing was working on helping my dry skin at all. I tried this for the first time about 2-3 months ago and the results were instant. No more dry skin and the product lasts ages, the best thing I've ever bought I 100% recommend if you looking for that glow and to help improve dry skin!"
Another reviewer praised its texture: "Glides on gorgeously and there is no smarting. Lovely soufflé like consistency." A third added: "It smells lovely, feels sublime - I absolutely love this."
While most feedback is positive, one shopper noted: "I feel the product just sits on the skin rather than being absorbed in." However, others were quick to counter with praise for its hydrating and glow-boosting effects.
Celebrity fans and alternatives
Mrs Hinch has also professed her love for the cream in an Instagram ad, according to the Manchester Evening News. For those seeking alternatives, The Body Shop's Vitamin C Glow Boosting Moisturiser costs £22, and Murad's Essential-C Firming Radiance Day Cream is available for £65.25 (was £87).
