Garnier Water Rose 24H Moisture Gel vs Moisturizer - Which is Right for Me?

Search the right skin care products for your skin type is an art form (or at least we think it is!), especially when it comes to humidifiers. So, when a brand launches two equally worthy related products, it leaves us scratching our heads as to which formula to use. Illustrative example: Garnier SkinActive Water Rose 24H Moisture Cream & Gel. These two water rose products cost the same (MSRP $14.99), which is why we delved into them.

Company Garnier SkinActive Water Rose 24H Moisturizer contains rose water and hyaluronic acid to provide long-lasting hydration to the skin - this is the 24-hour part. The formula of a transparent water cream makes the skin supple and light. This makes it ideal for pre-makeup application because it absorbs quickly into the skin and leaves no greasy residue. The result is smooth, soft skin that is instantly refreshed. Garnier SkinActive Water Rose 24H Moisture Cream is a cream-based moisturizer recommended for normal to dry skin types that need a little extra hydration (all of us in the winter). 

Company Garnier SkinActive Water Rose 24H Hydrating Gel also contains rose water and hyaluronic acid, like its cream counterpart. The main difference, however, is that the aqueous gel non-comedogenic and won't clog pores. Because of this, it's recommended for normal to combination skin types - if you're prone to breakouts, this is for you. 

One or the other: the final verdict on Garnier SkinActive Water Rose 24H Moisture Gel vs Moisturizer

If you have dry skin, you may benefit more from a moisturizer as it provides the rich hydration your skin craves. For people with oily or combination skin, or those who are more prone to acne, the moisturizing gel is non-comedogenic, which may be best for your skin type.
