Garnier Green Labs Pinea-C Gel Cleanser

First impression: standard squeeze tube that sits up and is easy to you. Light gel consistency not thick or gluggy. The scent is fresh but I bit soapy.

Application: a little goes a long way with this gel cleanser, I use a pea size amount on an already wet face and it does my face and neck. It glides on as the gel is light in texture and is very refreshing, perfect for the morning. It is easy to wash off and did not sting over my sensitive, dry patches.

Result: after patting my skin dry I felt rejuvenated and clean. I noticed that it made my face feel dry. Not dry to touch, but felt like I needed hydration so I moisturised straight away after using the cleanser. I have combination skin with dryness on my nose / Cupid’s bow and I noticed that my small, dry patches stood out more after using this product as slight flaking would appear around the patches. The flakes could easily be brushed away so it wasn’t cracking or super drying but still accentuated those areas on my face. Overall I did notice a brightening in my skin, enjoyed the application but not the affect it had on my dry patches. I won’t be purchasing this product, but feel it would suit someone with more normal/oily skin and it’s more environmentally friendly.

I really love gel cleansers at the moment so was excited to try this one. I was expecting more of a pineapple smell, so was suprised it didn't however still quite pleasant.

The gel is a nice consistency, not too heavy or sticky and lathers quite nicely on a damp face. I found it to be quite gentle and soft yet felt like I had a really good clean that wasn't too drying either.

I havent noticed brighter skin yet but hoping with time I might see the benefits

Garnier Green Labs Pinea-C Brightening gel cleanser is a gentle cleanser, suitable for everyday use.

The gel cleaner lathes really well. I love how it smells refreshing, it smells like pineapple and uplifts the mood. I liked that this product is not too foaming as I tend to shy away from foaming cleansers. It left my skin feeling smooth and clean as it gently removes impurities and products applied to my skin during the day. It doesn’t irritate my skin or cause my skin to dry out.

I have been using this cleaner for almost 2 weeks. Overall, I would recommend this cleanser to someone looking for an affordable, hydrating and brightening cleaner.

So the Pinea(apple) C cleanser - it's in a tube. I'd prefer a pump just to prevent any overspill but it's not a fast flowing tube if that makes sense, so its not too messy lest you squeeze hard.

I love the packaging - Garnier have nailed it with the Green Labs range, it's cute, it's neutral, it screams mature-young-adult. I really appreciate it.

The gel wash smells of fragrance, kind of citrus, kind of 'generic skincare'. It's not offputting at all, its actually quite nice.

It does what you'd want face wash to do - it cleans and removes makeup easily, doesn't make skin dry and leaves you feeling like you've had a good wash.

I ended up loving this a lot more than I thought I would - garnier have really hit the nail with this range!

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.

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.

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

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 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.
