Garnier Organics Lemongrass Moisturiser Reviews

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...

Packaging matches the rest of the range, though this is a stand up tube (my favourite type of packaging). Also has the lemongrass image on it. Consistency is a gel like cream. Does come out of the tube fast so don't apply to much pressure when squeezing. A little goes a long way. Refreshing scent, enjoyed using this for my morning routine.

The only thing I found while using this is I noticed for some reason this moisturiser was pilling on my face. I thought it was because of makeup primer that I was using after it and they were reacting together. I stopped using the primer before my make up application but still noticed the pilling on my skin anyway. I have never had this happen with any facial moisturiser that I have used.

Not sure exactly what is causing this. In saying that I doubt I will continue to use this.

I got this product from the beauty vault thanks so much xx unfortunately this moisturiser doesnt work for my skin. I love the lemongrass scent and the feeling when applying. Its a nice cooling gel cream and applys so smoothly. Unfortunately once applied i can feel it slightly tight on my skin and when i apply my foundation or even just rub my face the moisturiser flakes and peels and makes my skin look dry and scaley. It didnt seem to keep my skin hydrated for long. My skin type i would say is combination.

The packaging is all good. Looks attractive to be honest. Smell is ok not so appealing. The consistency is fine. I think it’s expensive for it’s size. I have dry to combination skin. When I apply this on my face my skin becomes extra dry and then it peels off like dead skin. White particles shedding within few mins. Never happened before with any moisturiser. I won’t ever buy it again and I don’t recommend it at all.

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 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.

The moisturiser comes in a cute squeezy tube and dispenses the product well. The product is very fragrantly potent, and it made me feel like I was being choked! It was also thin and light, but it felt quite watery. For some skin types, this can be good, and it absorbed well. My skin feels better after two weeks of use.

I love the fact that the packaging is environmentally friendly and uses vegan and organic ingredients. However, I wasn't a big fan of the product itself. I really disliked the strong lemongrass scent and it seemed to linger. The consistency is quite watery but it didn't really soak into my skin well. It felt like it left a bit of a film and I noticed my skin was shiny early in the day. In saying this, my skin is naturally very oily. I didn't experience any breakouts from this product which is a good result since I am often quite sensitive.

Similar to the rest of the range, this moisturiser packs a punch scent wise! The lemongrass is very strong and I think that its quite off putting at times, especially considering it goes on your face.

Despite this, it did feel nice on my skin due to being a gel moisturiser. It didn't react with my sensitive skin which is nice considering it is not a specific sensitive moisturiser like I normally have to use.

The packaging is clean and crisp and it fits in really well with the range. It looks quite classy and sleek which I like.

Love that its vegan and organic.

Its a good product, but the scent really is too much for me.

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.
