Garnier Organics Lemongrass Detox Gel Wash Reviews

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.]

This gel cleanser has a very pungent herb smell with citrus undertones. If you are someone who doesn't like overpowering smells this bad boy is'not for you, however if you look past the scent its a product that definitely does what it says its going to do.

It has a light gel texture that massages into the skin well and does not foam up which I enjoyed. I did make sure to avoid the eye area as it contains Salicylic acid which you definitely do not want in the eyes. It did a great job at removing a full face of makeup however I would recommend doing a double cleanse to really make sure your getting everything off.

The box mentioned a applicator however I just used my fingertips and found this to be very effective. it spreads amazingly so you do not need to use a lot of the product and i found the smooth pump produced enough of the product with one push.

I usually tone and moisturize afterwards but out of curiosity I used it on its own a couple times and I found my skin felt very dehydrated and has a drag to the touch. There was definitely no oily residue and it felt very tight without the assistance of moisturizer. I do have a dryer skin type so i feel this product would be amazing for those who fall on the oilier spectrum.

As you don't need a lot of product this would last me a very long time in the shower and is definitely worth the price tag as its a competitive price as gel cleansers can be quite expensive.

The packaging was quite easy on the eyes and I love how earthy the greens look and the clear bottle so you can see exactly how much product is left so there is no guessing work there.

I would definitely recommend this product as it 100% does what it says it would, however i would only suggest those with oilier skin types use this.

I was so excited to try this product alongside the toner and moisturiser- as they’re all vegan/natural-based products and suitable for sensitive skin which is right up my alley!!! I like the packaging colour scheme- the green and white combo with a see-through plastic so that you can see the gel cleanser inside! I also like that on the back, it’s got the list of ingredients and where they come from (the natural source), which was really cool! I also loooove that this has a pump! And it locks closed as well! It was so easy to use, not too stiff or anything so that you can control how much product comes out. The texture of this gel is really smooth and sort of foams a bit when it’s applied and spreads really easily! Really liked the texture of this, and only a small amount is needed. It smells really fresh and like lemongrass! If you don’t like lemongrass you won’t like this cleanser haha. I found the scent quite fragrant at first, but I didn’t really remind the smell and got used to it the more I used it, I like the freshness! My sensitive skin did not react at all to this!! And my skin didn’t feel tight or dried out at all! It felt clean and freshened! Overall I really like this cleanser- it worked really well on my skin. It’s my favourite from the trio! I will definitely keep using this and would even repurchase it!

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.
