Nice simple cleanser

This cleanser is a clear gel with a runny consistency. It lathers lightly and has a slippery texture. It does have a significant pineapple fragrance (perfume) that I enjoy but others may find strong.

I can’t comment on its makeup removing abilities because I have not worn a full face of makeup in a while, but it does remove light concealer and brow powder easily. It didn’t sting my eyes and it rinses away leaving skin feeling fresh.

I have dry skin and didn’t feel like I had to rush to moisturise my skin straight after using this cleanser - it did not leave me with a stripped feeling (but definitely still need to moisturise).

I can’t tell if this cleanser has made my skin brighter at all - I haven’t been using it for long enough, and it’s unlikely that a cleanser would be able to have significant brightening effects due to the low concentration of actives and little time it is on the skin.

I do enjoy using it and don’t see anything wrong with it, but will probably purchase other cleansers over this when it runs out.

Tips: Follow with the serum cream from the same range!

Fresh Scent, Solid Choice

This product is a good size, and comes in a fresh looking tube. It doesn't have a pump dispenser (which I am used to using in a cleanser), and it doesn't give you a recommended amount of product to use, means that it is hard to estimate how much product you should be using each time.

It has a really nice fresh scent, it smells of pineapple and lemongrass, which helps in leaving my face feeling refreshed and energised. It promises that it removes makeup and brightens skin. I would still use an oil cleanser first to remove eye makeup and heavier foundation, but this does an adequate job in removing the rest.

This product is not very viscous, and quite 'watery' in texture. This combined with lack of pump means that you can easily use a lot of this product each time.

Overall, a good choice and definitely worth trying if you want a lightweight, fresh feeling cleanser.

Tips: The thin consistency means it can come out quickly, don't use too much at once!

Average

The Garnier Green Labs Pinea-C Brightening Gel Cleanser has a pretty standard texture for gel cleansers and has a light, fruity scent that is noticeableduring application but doesn't linger once you've washed it off. It was a refreshing start to my morning routine and was quite gentle on my skin and I noticed that it did not dry my already super dry skin out, however, I did notice blackheads on my cheek which is incredibly uncommon for me, I only ever get blackheads on my nose, chin and occasionally my forehead, I also noticed that the blackheads on my nose became much larger and noticeable. It could be a coincidence, however I did cease using the cleanser for a couple of days and the blackheads didn't come back. Unfortunately I wouldn't use this cleanser again based on the blackhead situation but I did find that it was a nice refreshing start to my morning routine and would recommend it it to people who don't have issues with blackheads but who suffer with dry skin.

Pleasantly surprised

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.

Tips: Good for a fresh clean

Smells delicious!

The cleanser has a very liquid consistency, where you genuinely only need a little bit as it spreads easily. The consistency when applied also feels kinda like smearing your face with jelly. The fresh pineapple smell is absolutely divine. After consistently using this daily for just over a week I have noticed a subtle increase in my skin breaking out but can't be sure that the two are linked as there are potentially other factors causing that as well. The bottle the cleanser comes in is easy to use and I imagine there will be minimal wastage based on design and overall consistency. After I've used the gel I do notice a reduction in redness to my cheeks and forehead and my skin does feel clean and brighter.

Tips: Don't use a lot! About a 50c piece size is sufficient for face and neck.

Nice Cleanser

The Garnier Green Labs Pinea-C Gel Cleanser is a nice and gentle cleanser. The texture is slippery as you would expect from a gel, and a little goes a long way. I was impressed by how well it lathered even on slightly damp skin, although it did take some rinsing to get rid of the slimy feel on my face. It smells really fresh, which I love. After using this product, my face felt smooth and my skin looked bright and my pores were clean. I found the package size generous, and it seems as though the product will last a long time as you only need a small amount to do the job. Overall this cleanser does what it say it will, and I would buy again.

Garnier Green Labs Pinea-C Gel Cleanser

This product is super gel like in consistency, felt really nice on the skin. It didn't leave my skin feeling super tight and dry like some gel cleansers do. It surprisingly took a lot, if not all my make up off also! The price pretty on par with a lot of other brands. I have noticed that my skin feels less uneven, but hasn't reduced any of the dullness I have. Overall I would use this product again and would purchase.

Smells like a summer drink!

The gel comes out clear and the consistency is thinner/runnier than my usual facial wash. I found it hard getting use to the fact is doesn't lather very much either as I'm used to products that produce lots of bubbles! It did a good job removing my make up but I did need to use micellar water after to get rid of some slight mascara panda eyes after too. Having said that, I tried to keep this product away from my eyes/eyebrows as I have powder brows and am trying to be careful about products that could make them fade quicker and I felt like the description of this product might do that. It removed my foundation well. My face was left looking clean and even but I did feel a little bit dry/tight directly after usage once I dried my face. I used the Pinea-C brightening serum cream in conjunction with this in the mornings which brought back lots of moisture to my skin though. The scent smells like something I'd want to drink during summer, I really like it so for that reason alone I'd buy it again.

A good affordable option!

I think this is a pretty good cleanser option that you can pick up from the supermarket without breaking the bank.

First of all, I was really happy to read Garnier is certified cruelty free. There really is no excuse for testing on animals in 2022, so this is super good news.

This cleanser comes in a tube with a flip top cap. The packaging is relatively sleek, but the busyness of the packaging makes it look a bit less luxurious.

The cleanser itself is good. It has a slightly sweet fragrance but it didn’t linger. The product easily spreads on damp skin. I felt that it did cleanse my skin, but didn’t leave my face feeling tight or stripped.

I think it has made my skin slightly more radiant/less dull. I can’t say it’s removed my impurities or smoothed my skin, but maybe I need to use it longer to see those benefits.

Personally, I prefer a foaming cleanser and something that can remove my eye makeup. I would use this cleanser as a second cleanse, or a cleanser in the morning rather than a product to remove makeup.

Overall, it might not be perfect for my needs given I prefer a cleanser that is foaming and is a bit more eye safe to remove eye makeup, but it is a good cleanser and I will use it up!

Tips: Keep it away from your eyes! I would not use this to remove eye makeup.

Light but foamy

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.
