Garnier Green Labs Pinea-C Gel Cleanser

The smell of this cleanser is frankly way too strong (although I am very sensitive to smells so YMMV). To me it has a strong chemical smell with hints of pineapple. However it does work well as a cleanser and removes makeup with no issue. It also had no adverse effect on my sensitive skin, though I would refrain from using it more than once a day at most. I don't know how effective the vitamin C and pineapple extract would be in a cleanser since it only contacts the skin for a minute or so before being washed away, but they are still nice additions. Overall I would recommend if strong smells aren't an issue

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.

This gel wash smells absolutely great and it's perfect for morning, like pineapple but not overpowering. But it dehydrated my skin heavily so I had to limit my use to the evenings only. I usually double cleanse my face with cleansing oil first in the evening and I was nicely surprised that the wash was genuinely gentle but washed everything nice and well. I wasn't sure if it made any progress with my dull and tired skin though.

I'm still trying to finish it so I don't waste it, but my goodness it smells bad. Reminds me of the smell that hospitals have. I prefer the melon one but I won't be buying this one again for sure.

I really wanted to like this, it promised to be so good!

Not a fan of this one.

Firstly, the packaging was nice and I quite liked the tiny spout as it let me really control the amount I wanted. The whole package is quite large though.

I liked the texture initially but it did lather too much for my liking. The smell was very overpowering and will be too much for many I think. It didn't totally remove my makeup and needed to double cleanse to remove everything.

I also felt like it left my skin too dry and tight and I really needed to moisturize after.

I wouldn't buy this again and probably will gift it away to someone who isn't sensitive.
