| Left - My Holy Grail Moisturizer Right - Holy Grail Fail Moisturizer |
I've said so many times that my holy grail
moisturizer is Garnier Moisture Rescue Lightweight UV Lotion. Is has an SPF of
15 which is about all my face can handle. I love this lotion! I discovered this
lotion a few years ago and have used it ever since. It's lightweight and sinks
into your face like magic. It keeps my face hydrated all summer.
Kept.
It kept my face hydrated. It no longer does
that.
You see, I ran out of my holy grail moisturizer
and purchased 2 more. There appeared to be a new and improved formula --
Garnier Skin Renew Daily Moisture Lotion. No biggie, right? They simply changed
the name.
Well no. They changed the formula and added SPF
28.
That caused my face to burn, turn red and itch
like the devil. That, is not good. I looked at the bottle and realized that the
active ingredients were not the same. I was stunned!
I packed up the 2 bottles that I had purchased and
prepared to take them back to the store to exchange them. Then I noticed that
there weren't any bottles of my holy grail on the shelf. I went to another
store and saw the same thing. Then I took to the internet.
DISCONTINUED!
What?! I was stunned. I mean I was totally and
utterly floored. I loved this stuff and now it's gone? I guess they thought the
Garnier Skin Renew Daily Moisture Lotion was a better formula. NOT! It was
horrible. I know that many people love moisturizers with SPF on their face.
Well, some people can't tolerate that. Now, I have to search for a new
moisturizer.
Ugh! Who wants to go through that mess? But, I
will because you have to moisturize your face and you do need some form of
sunscreen. So, I have 4 moisturizers that I'm trying right now. Spoiler alert
-- one of them got tossed in the trash already!!
Fun times folks, fun times!!
