Davina McCall-loved £5 cream ‘unlike anything before’ as ‘people say I’m glowing’

One shopper said of the budget-friendly cream: “I’m 48 and I just feel youthful. Dull is not an option here.”

Davina McCall always looks glowing and fresh-faced on our screens, and now the presenter has let fans into one of her beauty secrets, saying one particular £5 high street product is ‘unlike anything I have used before.’ The affordable buy is from none other than beauty giant Garnier, and it contains brightening and hydrating Niacinamide and Vitamin C.

The presenter and podcaster has shared an ad with Garnier on Instagram, revealing how she loves the brand’s Vitamin C* Fresh & Bright Hydrating Sorbet Cream. The product’s ultra-light sorbet-like texture has been designed to melt into the skin while offering radiance to the complexion.

Non-sticky and non-greasy, the sorbet cream’s brightening formula is powered by 4% Niacinamide & Vitamin C, the latter of which is a renowned dermatological active loved for its ability to brighten, boost radiance, and enhance the skin’s glow according to Garnier.

Davina said: “It works like a primer. It’s amazing to put makeup on top of.” The star continued: “Great smell, unbelievable texture” while hailing it ‘unlike anything you have tried before.’ The star also said the product’s ‘glow is amazing.’

Those purchasing the Garnier Vitamin C* Fresh & Bright Hydrating Sorbet Cream will also benefit from the inclusion of Niacinamide, which can help to visibly minimise enlarged pores, improve uneven skin tone, and strengthen the skin’s natural barrier. Those with sensitive skin will no doubt also be pleased to find that the product is suitable for all skin types.

Shoppers can bag the item for as little as £4.95 at LookFantastic, but it’s also sold at Boots (£5), as well as Sainsbury’s and Tesco (both £7.50 or £5 with a Nectar Card for the former or Clubcard for the latter) – all of which are linked via the Garnier website. Garnier also offers the Hyaluron Fresh & Plump Hydrating Sorbet Cream and the Salicylic Fresh & Matte Hydrating Sorbet Cream should the Vitamin C variety not suit.

Elsewhere, The Body Shop’s Vitamin C Glow Boosting Moisturiser costs £22 and claims to ‘plump skin with 24h hydration for softer, more radiant-looking skin.’ Meanwhile at Murad, the £65.25 (was £87) Essential-C Firming Radiance Day Cream uses a combination of Vitamin C and ceramides to hydrate and firm the complexion.

Another star who has professed their love for the Garnier Vitamin C* Fresh & Bright Hydrating Sorbet Cream in an Instagram ad post is Mrs Hinch, according to the Manchester Evening News. It isn’t just celebrities who have praised Garnier’s Vitamin C* Fresh & Bright Hydrating Sorbet Cream though, as beauty lovers have also flocked to review the skincare find online.

On the Garnier website, the product has amassed an impressive overall review score of 4.5 out of five stars from hundreds of ratings. 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!”

A second raved: “Glides on gorgeously and there is no smarting. Lovely soufflé like consistency.”

Meanwhile a third said: “It smells lovely, feels sublime – I absolutely love this.” It is of course worth noting that not every skincare buy suits every user’s needs, and one shopper did say as part of their review: “I feel the product just sits on the skin rather than being absorbed in.”

Despite this, others had plenty of praise for the sorbet cream. Another wrote: “I absolutely love this little cream, it’s so hydrating on the skin and leaves it silky smooth. Smells divine also.

“It’s very light weight and it does exactly what it says on the tin which is moisturises the skin. It was my first time using it yesterday and two people asked what I’d put on my skin and said my face is glowing and it looks super hydrating.

“I also found my eyebrow pencil applied so much better after using it. It seemed to go on a lot easier and kept them in place all day. I love love love this product and will definitely be buying it again. Its fantastic.”

Someone else wrote: “Sunshine in a jar. I saw the tub – bright you are lured to it, your skin feels the same afterwards. It’s refreshing, it’s smooth, it smells amazing, it’s soft.

“You don’t need a lot – rehydrates, makes your skin glow, plus doesn’t pull at the purse strings. I’m 48 and I just feel youthful – dull is not an option here. Highly recommend.”

Another simply said: “This is the yummiest cream ever! Totally obsessed!”
