Garnier Organics Lemongrass Detox Gel Wash Reviews

I have combo skin with a very oily t-zone, so I do appreciate a nice gel product for mopping up that grease!

The pros. - The scent is really wonderful - the lemongrass is fresh and zingy, but not overpowering. - The bottle is easy to hold, and a generous size. - The pump lid is very secure. - A good price. - It leaves skin feeling fresh and clean, and not too tight after use. - It definitely mattifies and my pores look smaller.

The negatives: - It's a once-a-day product for me. Any more than that and I think it might become drying. I think if you have incredibly oily skin you could use this daily, but for this oily girl it's just far too stripping and harsh for even occasional use.

All up, for a vegan and organic product, this is worth the money and a pretty decent cleanser.

Love the pack, I love the pump and the pack is a nice size that is easy to use and dispenses just the right amount.

I quite like the fragrance, every day I think about what the top note is and it's quite unusual it's a bit 'cinnamony' if you want to put a finer point on it.

The product foams but not too much, it left my skin feeling clean but not tight and stripped of moisture.

I think for the price it's a good buy and i'll be seeking it out when i'm done.

Wow the description above is interesting I always heard that this brand was owned by Loreal so I thought it tested on animals. This face wash I could smell the lemon grass but it is not very intense. Yes it is a transparent gel and it did not seem to dry my skin out either but saying it is a deep cleanse i am not sure about as I am used to using a wash with exfoliating granules in it for deep cleansing. The scent took me back to my parents house - there is a tree there with this invigorating scent. I notice that Salicylic Acid is in the product which is ideal for acne prone skin. Bottle is taller than it appears online and slim. This feels like a nice everyday face wash but for removing make up and exfoliation i would use a wash that is not a smooth gel like this one. You can recycle the bottle / fill it up with something else. Like the natural vibe of this and may re buy it. The lemon grass is anti-inflammatory so could help calm redness and irritation as well as anti-bacterial and anti-fungal purifying properties. I have read that people like lemon grass oil as an insect repellent too.

This product comes with a handy pump top which makes it super easy to use. Two pumps is more than enough to thoroughly cleanse my face and neck. It lathers up very nicely, and did I mention it smells amazing? Very strong lemongrass scent so if you have sensitive skin or aren't a fan of strong fragrance then this product isn't for you but I personally loved it. This product promises not to dry your skin out, I found it drying on my skin. But I do have normal to dry skin that is prone to breakouts. I think if you have an oily skin type this product is better suited to you. Although it dried my skin out, as long as I applied a good moisturiser afterwards this wasn't an issue. I think the bottle size is very generous and would last you a decent amount of time so good value for money. I'd definitely repurchase during the summer months when my skin isn't so dry.

This was a lovely gel cleanser, and unlike many cleansers out there, I didn't find it to dry my skin out at all. My skin felt fresh and clean afterwards, and didn't feel tight at all, which I really don't like about many cleansers! The smell is fresh and delicate and is great for first thing in the morning. I found the consistency of the cleanser to be a little bit runny, so had to be careful it didn't slip off my fingers as I was pumping it out. Overall I found this cleanser to be easy on the skin, while still feeling like it gave me a good clean.

I love that it is a gel wash with a pump lid. So ideal for the shower, and stops mess/wastage. When I first used it I did three pumps however far too much product came out. I found that one is actually plenty which is great, it foams nicely (without being drying). I like how I can lock the pump lid to that I can take it with me while travelling. The packaging is cute and refreshing, and suits the theme of the range.

However, the lemongrass smell is very intense and almost over the top, and I didn't like it at first. I've grown to kind of like it (it is sort of invigorating, a good scent for waking up in the morning) but if you don't like strong smells you may not be able to get past the scent.

I found that even when using it in the shower, once I applied the toner I had some residual makeup come off on the toner pad. I don't usually use toner on a pad (I usually use a spray one if any), so I'm not sure if this is something that happens with all the cleansers that I have been using and is due to my technique, or if it is this cleanser only. I think a double cleanse is worth doing either way/just in case.

It doesn't leave a squeaky clean/tight feeling which is great, although I do feel like my skin feels dry if I use the full range together (cleanser, toner, moisturiser). I think that while I'll keep using the cleanser as we go into the cooler months, I'll pair it with a richer moisturiser.

It's so nice to know that you are putting something organic on your skin and free of 'nasties'. That in itself was very refreshing. I found you didn't need much to get a nice, soft lather so very economical. The lather was more like a shaving cream with nice tight bubbles which felt very soft on your face when I was using. Easy to apply and easy to wash off and didn't leave face dry which is unusual in my experience for these types of products. I really liked it and my face felt clean and soft. My only comment would be that you certainly know your using a lemon-scented product! It is very aromatic which is a nice wake-up in the morning but although the scent is fresh, somehow smells slightly processed which completely contradicts the product itself.

Aesthically pleasing. Compact bottle fits in my shower caddy.Lemongrass image on the front. really does fit the organic image this promotes. Small pump works well and dispenses a good amount of product. One pump is enough for an aplication. Pleasant fresh scent, not overpowering. I have oily/combo skin and felt like this was a good wash without drying out my skin. Have enjoyed using this.

First off the lemongrass scent is strong so if that't not what you like this isn't for you. However, I find it wonderfully refreshing. It leaves my skin feeling cleansed without drying it out. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
