Garnier Green Labs Hylu-Melon Milky Cleanser

Usually Garnier really impress me with their products, They do what they say they’re going to do with no frills or fanfare, but I just don’t love this one. It’s by no means bad, and it is a nice cleanser however I thought it would do more considering they’re branching out to include things like Hyaluronic acid. The branding was “milky” however I felt it was more of a gel or cream cleanser, the consistency was quite thick and I struggled to get it out of the lid. The smell was pleasant and the product size was very generous. I will say that a little goes a long way so you would get a lot of washes out of this, BUT I often felt like I needed to double cleanse, which I personally do not usually need to do. Following use, I did feel nice and hydrated which is a bonus. Overall this product was not bad, but did not wow me like I had hoped. It cleanses as it says but I did not notice any increases smoothness or change to fine lines as it implies.

Garnier green labs Smoothing Milky Wash with hyaluronic acid and watermelon and targets dehydrated skin and fine lines.

The wash is kind of like a milky colored gel and works like any other gel cleanser I’ve used.

The wash claims to remove makeup and impurities for smooth glowing skin without the tight dry feel. I felt it did have a slight tight feeling, but overall it was insignificant. As a makeup remover it did well however.

It also claims to leave skin bouncier over time. So far I can’t say I’ve noticed any change.

Garnier has marketed this product under their green labs label. As such, the packaging is made with 20% recyclable material, while the product is vegan, has no sulfates, microbeads, parabens or dyes, and it is made at a plant that uses renewable energy.

I really love to see big brands like Garnier making an environmental difference, so the green labs concept is a winner for me, but would love to see them continue to build on that until their packaging is made of 100% recyclable material.

This cleanser comes in a generous and sturdy tube with a strong flip lid, I found the packaging pleasing. The consistency of the cleanser comes out similar to thick clear jelly, however once it has contact with water (i.e. - once you massage it onto damp skin) it turns into a white milky texture.

You don't need a lot for this milky cleanser to do its job! I found it effective in cleansing my face with or without makeup on, easy to rinse off with just your hands or with a face cloth.

Afterwards, my face doesn't feel too 'stripped' or tight, it feels clean and hydrated as the product claims to do. I think it's a good choice for the colder season seeing as it's designed for dehydrated skin.

I don't think I used it for long enough to notice any difference to my fine lines but overall I was happy using this cleanser. It's one that would last you awhile and would be good value for money, if you don't need all the bells and whistles with your cleanser. Would recommend for younger or normal/combination skin.

First of all this product comes in a 130ml tube, which is so much bigger than my other cleansers and you only need to smallest amount to do the job so I know this will last me a really long time which is great for my bank account. Smells so nice too, if you love watermelon scent you will love this product. Comes out in a gel consistency which you just rub in gentle circular motions on your face and neck, also works really well at getting off your make up and even water proof mascara which can be a nightmare to remove. It is vegan friendly and made from recycled materials which we all love! Haven't noticed much of a difference in my fine lines yet but it has only been just over a week in using this product but I definitely have noticed a difference in my skins hydration and not being so dry looking and coming into winter this product will be a life saver for my skin.

This cleanser comes in a 130ml squeezy tube, with a flip-top lid - generous size, and easy application. It's sort of a gel/cream consistency. It smells really nice, like watermelon, although the smell doesn't really linger.

To start with, I thought I was reactimg badly to this, as I was getting a few pimples. However, I think I just wasn't using a large enough amount, and perhaps wasn't lathering it in enough. I increased the amount from a pea-sized dollop to a 20 cent-sized dollop, made sure to work it in to my face really well, and the pimples cleared up.

I find this does clean my skin really well, although I first use the Garnier Micellar Water to remove makeup. I have combination skin, which can get dehydrated in the colder weather, so this is a great option for me. It leaves my skin feeling nice and hydrated, not stripped of moisture.

I have seen this product recently appear at Pak n Save, and it's a great price, so would repurchase for sure!

This milky cleanser is silky soft on the skin, it removes makeup with ease and smells amazing with gorgeous packaging. Only a pea sized amount is needed to clean the skin. Perfect for the dry skin gals.

Oh man, I really wanted to love this... The name implies a milky formula, but it's definitely a gel formula that kinda liquifies when you mix it with water. Gel based formulas are best for oily skins as they can be quite drying, which is how I found this cleanser. I didn't find it hydrating at all! In fact, sometimes after using it, my skin would look flaky. I don't even have dry skin normally, I'm a combo/oily t-zone.

I do like the scent though. It smells like my car air freshener haha, but a lot more mild. It is an artificial melon scent, so if you don't like artificial scents, you probably won't like this.

This is the only cleanser I think I've ever tried that makes you immediately feel the difference after using it. My skin feels soft, firm and supple - AND this feeling lasts for at least 24 hours! I love how hydrated it feels, as often after cleansing it feels dry, but not with this one. The smell is devine. If you're interested the consistency of the cleanser feels more like a gel, rather than milky, but that hasn't worried me, it lathers well and overall it is the way my skin feels afterwards that really matters the most.

Has an almost gel-like texture, and smells faintly watermelon under the floral. Pleasant without being overbearing.

I use a silicone facial cleansing brush for my face, this cleanser does clean my face well and removes makeup, without leaving me overly dry and tight. My face feels almost plump. The smell doesn't cling to the skin after.

No dramatic difference to fine lines that I can see within the short trial time, though my forehead lines might be a wee bit softer.
