Garnier Green Labs Retinol-Berry Cream Cleanser

I didnt hate this cleanser it just wasnt right for me . Due to using a colour stay foundation daily i found this cleanser did not take my makeup off at all . It was lovely and gentle on my face and left my skin super soft.

I've always preferred a cream cleanser over anything as, so great to see this Ultra Soothing Cream Amino Super Berry Blend cleanser in Garnier's Green Labs range as a more affordable cream cleanser choice. Claims are cleans and nourish without stripping skin, on all skin types and tones, including sensitive skin.

The packaging is green and white in colour with Garnier's typical informational style, with a green colour cream cleanser, in a 150ml recyclable pump bottle with no lid.

With a wet face and hands, a small amount does a good job of cleansing well, with a silky, creamy texture similar to a higher end product. Skin felt nourished, not at all dry like with some cleansers, and the product cleansed skin well. Will definitely use again.

Liked nice thin bottle as it fits on the cluttered shelf in my shower. Liked attempt at sustainability and advertising that fact they are are trying to be sustainable as I do worry about all the plastic bottle usage, though saying factory that produces it uses 60% renewable electricity doesn’t mean much in NZ where 90% plus of our electricity is renewable. The product itself was good. It felt a little thin the first time I used it but I was happy with how it took off makeup and grim, and my skin felt fresh but not stripped of all moisture afterwards. Didn’t like smell of it but smell didn’t linger once it was washed off. I think given how little you need to use for each wash you’d get good value from this product and it is definitely one I’ll buy again, partly for the product and partly for the sustainability.

Love this cleaning cream!! Have been using it for nearly two weeks and it’s beautiful on the face. It has a neutral smell but lovely coverage. After washing it left my face makeup free not even a trace left. My face didn’t feel dried out and felt really clean. Didn’t really feel any micro beads that are present in the cream rather it feels creamy and smooth and yes quite nourishing.

At first glance, the top of the pump bottle was crooked, maybe it was damaged in transit, or, not made very well in the first place? Either way, the pump worked ok but if I had to pay for it I wouldn't be happy with it. I notice that the bottle is made from recycled material which is great to see. The formula has a very light "green" scent, hard to place my finger on what it smells like but it's very faint so probably would be ok for most people. The formula is quite thick and I used quite a few pumps to have it clean my entire face. I like to leave cleansers on my face for a few minutes to get all the benefits. My skin felt a little tingly so this makes me wonder if it would be any good for people with sensitive skin (I don't have sensitive skin). It's not great at removing makeup, I had to combine other cleansers to wash off my full face. Overall I don't think I'd purchase this as I didn't see any benefits during the time I trialed this product, the only positive is that it didn't make my skin feel stripped dry. I would say that it's a good cleanser for people who do not wear make up, or very little.

I don't often reach for Garnier but I was pleasantly surprised by the ingredient list for this cleanser. I love that it's vegan and doesn't contain all the nasties like parabens and sulphates. I find it's gentle enough for all skin types and I didn't find my skin feeling dry afterwards. I don't think it's strong enough to remove makeup despite its claims, but I always double cleanse with a cleansing balm first anyway. If you're looking for an affordable gentle cleanser then you can't go wrong with this one.

I like this cream cleanser a lot, very sleek packaging, easy to use pump and just a straightforward face cleanser. It doesn’t have a scent, so would be good for sensitive skin types too and it hasn’t irritated my skin at all, but my skin is pretty good with most stuff I put on it anyway. It removes makeup quite well by itself, but I like using it as a second cleanser after a balm or oil cleanser to get leftover residue off, otherwise I need a lot of pumps of this to take all makeup and dirt off with just this cleanser. In the mornings I just use half the amount to freshen up my face and it works great. The only thing I don’t like about this is how it doesn’t go a long way, doesn’t spread that well and I have to use 4-5 pumps as a second cleanse at night and 2-3 pumps in the morning., my bottle is about half empty now and cleansers usually last a little longer for me, but it just doesn’t cover a lot of skin, kinda sticks and doesn’t move around enough to comfortably massage it in and wash it off, unless I use lots of pumps, so I’ve taken some points off for that. Price point is still great, although prices are going higher and higher lately, garnier used to be one of the most affordable brands and now they’re going in a different direction with more natural and cruelty free products and with that come the price hikes, of course, but I’m not mad about it, I happily pay a little more for brands that don’t test on animals for example.

I really enjoyed trialing this cleanser. I have super sensitive skin that's prone to dryness in places and redness which makes it difficult to find skincare that suits me.

This cleanser is very gentle on my skin, it feels so soothing and always left my skin feeling clean and hydrated after using it, I didn't experience any dry skin, redness or irritation of any sort while using this which was amazing for my skin.

A little bit goes a long way with this cleanser and I am sure this bottle will last me quite a while. The pump is super easy to use, I always worry about the pump breaking but this one feels very well designed.

I also like how this contains more natural ingredients and how beneficial these are to my skin and health. Its wonderful to see this brand evolving. I also love that this contains retinol, Its a great way to introduce retinol into a skincare routine in a gentle way which is suitable for sensitive skin

This has been a great hit for my skincare routine. I plan to repurchase this cleanser,

I'm very impressed with this cleanser. It's just the right consistency - not too watery it goes everywhere, but not too thick that you need to spend ages spreading it round. It's very easy to use, although I do wonder how well the pump will work when it get closer to the bottom, I suspect I might be tipping it upside down and decanting at some point. It says it's fragrance free, but to me it definitely has a smell - but it's not unpleasant. A little goes a long way. I only really wear mascara daily so a couple of little pumps is more than enough to clean that off and give my whole face a good clean, so given this, it seems it will last quite a while (I can see it going down, but not that quickly). This seems to be priced between $10 and $15 which is a good price for a quality product - I'd definitely buy it at that price. The packaging isn't that eye catching - but I'm not drawn to products with flashy packaging, I'd rather it works! After using my skin feels clean, but not tight or dry (I have used it and then left it while before using the serum). Would I recommend this to a friend - I already have!

I've really enjoyed trialing this cream cleansers. The packaging was good and the long bottle makes it easy with the pump. No mess. I only used a couple of pumps and it was more than enough to clean my face daily, its nice and soft and left my skin feeling good. I like that this is formulated with super food. And NO sulfates, microbeads, parabens & dyes. It has definitely made an impact on my skin!
