Garnier Green Labs Pinea-C Gel Cleanser

Loved the packaging on this product. It definitely looks like a premium product, and i would pay more for it. It foams really nicely and doesnt have an overpowering scent like some cleansers. I am not sure about the brightening effect, as I feel like this product would need to be used for a month plus to see the effects of a brightening cleanser. I used this morning and night and felt like my skin was squeaky clean afterwards! It removed my makeup seamlessly.

The Garnier Green Labs Pinea-C Gel cleanser was a pleasant surprise for me, it was gentle on my skin and left my skin feeling fresh and hydrated unlike other cleansers which have left my skin feeling dry. The cleansing gel was effective at removing make up and general day to day build up from my face and left my skin feeling refreshed. I have been using this in combination with the Garnier serum and I can visibly see a difference in my overall skin appearance in just one week.

I wasn’t too sure about this cleanser, I’m very careful with cleansers because I had my face raw and peeling from some that have “sensitive” claims. No such trouble with this- it was surprisingly nice, it didn’t seem to irritate, I liked the sulfate free etc Skin definitely felt nice and clean afterwards, but I have a feeling my skin wouldn’t like it morning and night everyday so I’ll be using this sparingly going forward.

I began using this product alongside the Pinea-C vitamin C moisturiser, and was pleasantly surprised. I have fairly normal skin but it gets easily dried and stripped by the wrong products. For this reason, I almost religiously stick to cream/milk cleansers, and tend to avoid gel cleanser for fear of them leaving my skin dry and tight. I was a little apprehensive to use this, but I’m glad I did! This does not dry my skin out at ALL, it leaves it feeling nicely cleansed, brightened and very balanced. The smell is pretty minimal which was nice too. I love the ease of the squeeze tube, and the product size is great as a small dollop easily cleanses my whole face and neck. I really enjoy this cleanser for that slightly deeper-clean feeling than my regular cream cleansers, while still leaving my skin balanced, particularly when using SPF products which tend to sit on my skin a little heavier. I don’t wear makeup, so I can’t attest to its makeup removing abilities, but based on how this feels to cleanse with I imagine it would remove foundation really well. Overall I am very pleased with this cleanser! My skin feels very happy after using it and it provides a great cleansing.

First of all I absolutely LOVE the packaging of this product. The pump is easy to use and it looks super cute on my shelf. It smells amazing and it applies easily and doesn't make my face feel wet or greasy forever. However, I have very dry skin needs so I didn't find that it gave me the moisturiser I needed. I still needed to supplement with another heavier moisturiser and pop this one on before I went out. I did use it exclusively for about 5 days but my poor little face just got far too dry. I think that this would work really well though for people with less moisture needs and I'll probably keep using it alongside my other heavy duty cream. Until it runs out anyway.

I was interested to trial this cleanser- not only is it paraben and sulfate free, but it’s made with pineapple extract and vitamin C!

I love that the packaging is 100% made from recycled plastic. The squeeze style bottle was clear, green and white. The lid clicked open/close easily and there was a small opening where the cleaner came out of. The consistency of the cleanser is quite runny, so I thought the inside of the lid might get messy or that it would come out too quickly, however because the opening is really small, it really only comes out when the tube is squeezed! It wasn’t messy at all and really easy to control how much product came out.

The cleanser itself is a very light green/almost clear gel. It was really smooth and lathered a little bit when on the skin. It was really easy to massage into my face and was quite creamy when it lathered, very easy to work in. It smelt sort of sweet (like the pineapple ingredients) and wasn’t too strong. I wouldn’t say it was a ‘nice’ smell, however I didn’t hate it and didn’t mind it.

My skin is dry and sensitive with some uneven skin tone. This cleanser was absolutely fine with my sensitive skin- no reaction at all! My skin didn’t feel tight or stripped or dried out after use as well, which is definitely something I look for in a cleanser. My skin did feel clean after using it. I haven’t noticed a huge difference in my skin, (in terms of brightness or dullness as it claims to help improve) perhaps it is a bit brighter- it’s really hard to tell! More time will tell, as a week may not be long enough to tell a true difference.

Overall, I did like this cleanser! It felt really nice to use on my face and worked well with my sensitive and dry skin type. I will continue to use it over time and see if the brightness and skin tone does improve.

This cleanser comes in a gel formula with a very light scent. It doesn’t lather up too much which make it nice and easy to scrub off. It left my skin feeling clean and fresh and I never had any issues with sensitivity to the product.

I love this gel cleanser, one of the best on the market, and I have tried alot! I wear a full make up look every day and find most gel cleansers struggle to really cleanse my face properly. This cleanser is amazing! It has a different texture that ive not seen in gel cleansers but it works so well. I always double cleanse but I feel like one cleanse is enough, my skin felt so clean and smooth after one. My skin was so soft after using this and I feel like thats because of the Pineapple extract. This is my new favourite cleanser and I will continue to use this product in my everyday skincare routine

I was really surprised about this product - I find cleansers really harsh on my skin and tend to look for 'basic' formulas, avoiding fragrance and scrubby bits.

I like the tube format, its easy to squeeze out and I like the upside down format.

It doesn't foam up too much which I like and doesn't feel harsh or stripping.

The fragrance is surprisingly natural smelling, it doesn't smell fake fruity or over powering.

I love this in the morning it's revitalising and freshens the skin.

It's a really good cleanser, it's balanced my oily t-zone well and left all of my skin smooth and even.

A summary in one line: It isn't bad, but it didn't do anything good either.

What I liked: 1. A gel formula - this is the first gel cleanser I have used and it was great that it didn't dry my skin out! 2. The scent was really summer-y - this is a double-edged sword but it was a really feminine, summer scent 3. Removed makeup to an acceptable level - there was still some residue but for the most part it did a pretty good job!

What I didn't like: 1. The scent - I told you, double-edged sword - It was quite overpowering and quite artificial smelling 2. It didn't really do anything - although it didn't negatively impact my sensitive skin, it didn't really do anything positive for it; it didn't feel any better, look any better, etc.

Overall, I wouldn't buy it again - but I won't be throwing out the product either. It did the cleanser basics for me, but I would prefer to put that money towards something else that worked for me a bit better.
