A few of them come to my mind when it comes to affordable beauty brands. Those types of brands feel like they’ve been around forever, having grown up seeing them on the grocery store or pharmacy shelves. One of those brands is Garnier, a French beauty brand that’s undoubtedly one of the most famous in the world, known for its naturally-derived ingredients and gentle formulations. They provide quality solutions for every skin type or concern with a good range of products from haircare to skincare. 

Whether you’re curious about the other bestsellers from this brand or you’re new to trying out this brand, we’ve got you covered. We won’t be touching on the haircare range of this brand (do let us know if you want a separate recommendation list for that!), but rather, we’ll lay down the best skincare products from Garnier that are definitely worth buying & repurchasing!

But first, Who is Garnier?

Garnier (pronounced as gaar-nee-ay) was founded in France back in 1904. The beauty brand started producing hair care products first, with its founder Alfred Amour Garnier, creating a hair lotion out of natural plant ingredients. This laid the foundation for the next hair products made, where they continued to steadily grew as a brand. Eventually, they ventured into skincare, which helped further establish the brand and catapult them into popularity. With the belief in “Healthier looking skin for all”, the brand was inspired to create a range that would create solutions for any skin type. 

The French beauty brand has been cruelty-free since 1989 (except for some places they distribute), and they’ve decided to take it further after partnering with Cruelty-Free International Under the Leaping Bunny Programme. This means that all of their products distributed globally are now completely cruelty-free. As of 2020, they have also announced their Green Beauty initiative where they are committed to an end-to-end greener and cleaner approach to becoming a sustainable beauty brand that is accessible to all while reducing their environmental impact in the long run. This applies to all the processes and products under Garnier from their formulations and packaging to their production and distribution.
