Garnier Organics Lemongrass Moisturiser Reviews

I was so excited to try this product alongside the cleanser and toner- as they’re all vegan/natural-based products and suitable for sensitive skin which is right up my alley!!! I like the packaging colour scheme- the green and white combo is nice. I also like that on the back of the box, it’s got the list of ingredients and where they come from (the natural source), which was really cool. The size of this (50mL) was a bit smaller than I had expected, but it would be good travel type size. It’s a squeeze tube and is easy to use and control how much product comes out. The texture was thin and runnier than I had expected but spread really easily onto my face, so only a small amount is needed. It seemed to kind of sit on my skin a bit, rather than being absorbed in. After a few days of use I did notice a couple of small dry patches on my face, so this is probably not hydrating enough for me- I do have dry skin though, where on the box it says normal/combination and is more of a balancing moisturiser, rather than a nourishing one. Therefore it probably didn’t work that well on my skin, due to my skin type. But my sensitive skin didn’t react at all to it!! It smelt very similar to the cleanser, like lemongrass and very fresh, but probably a bit more subtle. Overall, I didn’t find that this worked all that well on my skin but I think that’s because I have a dry type rather than normal/combination, which is the type the product is aimed at.

The moisturiser was smaller than I thought it would be, but a little actually goes a long way which is great and it does seem so soak in quickly/doesn't make my skin feel oily. However, I prefer using it at night (although I do find my skin could feel a bit tight at night after using all three products in the evening) rather than applying makeup over it in the morning.

The main reason for this is that unfortunately on the first day I used it (in the morning), I applied primer as normal and then I started applying my liquid foundation and the moisturiser and the foundation both started coming off in flakes/peels on my face. The next time I used it with a different foundation and did not experience the piling however I have used a few different moisturisers with the first foundation and it has never flaked before. I am sticking to nights now as I don't really have the time to take all my products off and start over most mornings if it was to pile again. Unfortunately this issue would stop me from buying it again or recommending it to friends, as there are so many other moisturisers that work just as well but don't cause the piling - I'm not willing to take the time to try the moisturiser with different primer/foundation combinations to try and find out what the issue is.

I think the moisturiser would be best for Summer due to its cooling gel like consistency and it doesn't quite feel like enough moisture at night when you use it with the cleanser and toner too. The scent is noticeable but it feels like it 'suits' a light gel moisturiser like this and I don't really mind it.

This moisturiser left my skin feeling really hydrated. I suffer from dry skin and I love this product. It feels light on your skin and after this product my skin looks and feels more hydrated. Smells amazing and excellent value for what it does.

The moisturiser has a nice light consistency. I liked the smell because it was very fresh. But the product didn’t work that well for my skin. It claims to balance oily zones but oily skin isn’t really a concern of mine. I found that it didn’t leave my skin as hydrated as I like, it still felt tight after using it.

this 50ml balancing moisturizer improved my skin, allowing it to not feel dry. The actual lotion is really runny, i would of preferred if it was a bit thicker in the consistency and had SPF. it goes on easily and doesn't roll on the skill or flake. the scent is really refreshing and nice, it didn't sting or burn my skin either!

I have combo skin with a very oily t-zone.

The pros. - The scent is really wonderful - I wouldn't think about lemongrass in a moisturiser, but it works. Especially for day time use - really refreshing on that sleepy skin. - The tube is easy to hold, and a generous size. - The lid is very secure. - A good price - it'll last about 6 weeks of daily use. - It's light and non-greasy and absorbs well - It doesn't leave skin shiny, which for us oily gals is a big deal!

The negatives: None!

A really great moisturiser for oily to combo skin - it's not too rich, not too heavy and doesn't leave any residue behind to block pores.

The standout product from the range I've been reviewing.

The Garnier Organic Lemongrass Moisturiser is packaged in a slender matte tube, made from recycled materials. The design and look of the packaging is really nicely done - you know you're getting a more natural product, and it's functional. I hate day creams where you have to stick your fingers in the product every time you use it!

The lemongrass fragrance is perfectly done - not too strong, but also strong enough that you can enjoy it for a while after use.

The actual product is a slightly runny hydrating moisturiser. It leaves my skin feeling supple and soft after use, and the hydration lasts all day.

It definitely balances my skin and the oil does stay at bay.

I would use it again, but I do probably need a richer cream coming into winter weather.

The only thing I enjoyed about this moisturiser was the smell, a pleasant lemongrass scent. Unfortunately this moisturiser felt like it sucked moisture away from my skin rather than into the skin. After using it my skin felt so dry, that within 30 minutes of applying this I had to go back and apply a different moisturiser. I managed to use this for 5 days in a row, and I feel like that was 5 days too many...

I have been using this the past week and have had up and down feelings about it. The smell isn’t too bad - definitely not as strong as the wash but it left quite a greasy feel to my skin. It did hydrate the skin though which was a plus but I found it didn’t last very long. All rounds it’s an ok moisturiser

The mousturiser is in a small green plastic tube with flip top lid. I always find i end up with a lityle too much product when using tubes. No exception here.

My skin is combination/ oily and prone to break out. The moisturizer is a good consistency and absorbs well without feeling greasy.

While using the range my skin broke out just as much as usual. My oiliness remained well controlled.

I enjoyed using this moisturiser and would definitely consider using it again in the future, espcially with the added aloe vera which would be well received after a few too many hours in the sun or strong winds.
