Garnier Green Labs Retinol-Berry Cream Cleanser

I received this product as part of a trial along with the Super smoothing serum cream. As I have sensitive skin, I am always wary of trying new products. The first day after use, my skin had a slight reaction, but it settled down really quickly, and I used this every day throughout the two weeks of the trial.

What I liked about the product was the easy-to-use pump, which meant you had minimal waste unlike you do with a squeezable tube, and a little but goes a long way. I also liked that it was a green product, made from 96% recycled plastic and that it's cruelty-free.

Did it do what it said it would? It promised to make my skin feel smooth and hydrated, which it did, but I can't say that I noticed any visible differences in the appearance of my skin.

Would I buy it? Yes, probably if it was on special.

I was excited to be picked to review this as I haven’t been doing any skincare lately and wanted to get back into it. The “super soothing” branding also appealed as I do have sensitive skin.

The cleanser packaging just being plastic isn’t quite as nice as the serum cream. But that is just an observation rather than a criticism. With cleanser I do like them to be on the cheaper side as they don’t sit on your skin for as long. Also I cleanse in the shower so I don’t mind the simpler packaging sitting in the shower. The pump works ready well also.

I liked the product too (which is really the most important part). There is a slight scent to it but I really had to stick my nose right up into it to smell it. I love a cream as it doesn’t leave my dry skin feeling gross. This one is really nice and leaves my skin feeling lovely and not dry at all. I can’t speak about how it removes makeup as I haven’t used makeup in a while. I haven’t had any bad effects on my skin through using this and I appreciate how gentle it is if using with the retinol serum cream as well.

I haven’t always been Garniers’ biggest fan for skincare - but at an affordable price this actually really appeals I will consider repurchasing this when I need a new cleanser.

Wow another lovely product. I've really enjoyed trialing The Amino-Berry Ultra Soothing Creme Cleanser by Garnier I love the texture of this product, it's a cream not foaming which I love as it is so silky on the skin it just glides over your skins surface. 2 pumps is more than enough ( I've always been a generous helping ) type of girl. Fragrance free so lovely. I used the product at night and it left no makeup or oil on my skin, and having never liked using cleansers because they left my skin feeling stripped and tight this didn't instead it left my skin feeling nourished, refreshed and silky. I've found the product very economical I've been using it for about 10 days and hardly made a dint in the bottle. At under $20.00 a bottle this seems ridiculously good value for such a lovely product.

I like this cream cleanser a lot, very sleek packaging, easy to use pump and just a straightforward face cleanser. It doesn’t have a scent, so would be good for sensitive skin types too and it hasn’t irritated my skin at all, but my skin is pretty good with most stuff I put on it anyway. It removes makeup quite well by itself, but I like using it as a second cleanser after a balm or oil cleanser to get leftover residue off, otherwise I need a lot of pumps of this to take all makeup and dirt off with just this cleanser. In the mornings I just use half the amount to freshen up my face and it works great. The only thing I don’t like about this is how it doesn’t go a long way, doesn’t spread that well and I have to use 4-5 pumps as a second cleanse at night and 2-3 pumps in the morning., my bottle is about half empty now and cleansers usually last a little longer for me, but it just doesn’t cover a lot of skin, kinda sticks and doesn’t move around enough to comfortably massage it in and wash it off, unless I use lots of pumps, so I’ve taken some points off for that. Price point is still great, although prices are going higher and higher lately, garnier used to be one of the most affordable brands and now they’re going in a different direction with more natural and cruelty free products and with that come the price hikes, of course, but I’m not mad about it, I happily pay a little more for brands that don’t test on animals for example.

I like the pump dispenser of this cleanser bottle as it ensures you get enough product without wasting any. The bottle is attractive and sturdy.

While the cleanser does not lather a great deal, it provides good coverage of the face without needing to use excess product, and did a good job of clearing away the days makeup. There is little to no odour which makes for a pleasant experience.

I started using this cleanser when my skin was at its worst, with breakouts, redness and dryness. The product was not only super gentle on my skin, it noticeably soothed it within a very short period of time.

Combined with the retinol-berry serum, I will definitely continue to use this cleanser!

A good size bottle with a good pump. Nice enough smell. Don't need to use too much of this product. Took off makeup and cleansed/cleaned the skin as expected. Skin tingled to start with due to being new to retinol, and had to be careful around my eyes as felt like the skin on my cheekbone was tender. I persevered and while it's a nice cleanser that removes makeup, how my skin felt means it just wasn't for me which is why it's scored down.

I've really enjoyed trialing this cream cleansers. The packaging was good and the long bottle makes it easy with the pump. No mess. I only used a couple of pumps and it was more than enough to clean my face daily, its nice and soft and left my skin feeling good. I like that this is formulated with super food. And NO sulfates, microbeads, parabens & dyes. It has definitely made an impact on my skin!

I've always preferred a cream cleanser over anything as, so great to see this Ultra Soothing Cream Amino Super Berry Blend cleanser in Garnier's Green Labs range as a more affordable cream cleanser choice. Claims are cleans and nourish without stripping skin, on all skin types and tones, including sensitive skin.

The packaging is green and white in colour with Garnier's typical informational style, with a green colour cream cleanser, in a 150ml recyclable pump bottle with no lid.

With a wet face and hands, a small amount does a good job of cleansing well, with a silky, creamy texture similar to a higher end product. Skin felt nourished, not at all dry like with some cleansers, and the product cleansed skin well. Will definitely use again.

So I love the fresh look this Garnier Green range has to offer. The bottle itself of this cream cleanser is really well designed and easy to dispense. However the instructions were a lot lacking. This is no mention of how much to use or how often. So I just went with what it took to cover my face. I have never used a cream cleanser before so it felt very different not being able to have that “lather” feeling but I kept using it anyway. It did not feel very clean and I found my skin to be super greasy by the morning. I gave it another couple of days before I decided to use my makeup remover after using this cleanser… unfortunately there was still loads of makeup still coming off my skin- despite claims on the packaging of “removes oil, dirt and makeup”. I don’t wear a lot of makeup at the moment so it was obvious it was not removing much at all. I haven’t noticed a great difference in the reduction of fine lines and wrinkles as this product also claims. I don’t feel like this is a good product for my skin type, I have combination skin.
