Garnier Organics Lemongrass Moisturiser Reviews

Love the smell of this moisturiser. I usually react to moisturisers but this one was nice to my skin. The formula was nice and not sticky or greasey. It applied nicely. The only downfall for me was that it absorbed into my skin quicker than I would of liked and my skin didn't feel as hydrated as it does with other moisturisers. My skin did feel nice during the day and not as flakey as it normally is so I will continue to use this.

I had the organics toner and gel wash which i also used together with the organics moisturiser and all went really well together as a facial regime.

This lemongrass scented moisturiser isn't too watery nor too thick so it's a good consistency. It worked well to smooth out my skin and left it feeling fresh. The smell wasn't over powering, but i'm not a fan of it. I only had to use a little bit, and also had to squeeze the bottle for it to come out as tipping it upside down didn't actually do anything. I will continue to use this as part of my regime as i liked how my skin looked after. Left it feeling very smooth and redness was gone!

This moisturiser is very light on the skin. The product itself feels very silky and you don't need much of it to get a full coverage. It isn't greasy at all and soaks in quickly.

The scent is super refreshing and makes my skin feel really clean after use. It rubs in easily and is fast to absorb.

I do think that my skin still feels slightly dry after use so think it could be a little more "moisturising", but it definitley provides some moisture and it's a lovely silky product nonetheless.

This moisturiser comes in a small tube with a simple design for the labeling. I saw it in the supermarket and the minty green stands out on the shelf as it isn't a colour used often.

I love that the product is organic and vegan. This is definitely something people are more concerned about now days. And it is nice to know what is going on your skin, not a list of products you have no idea what they are.

The moisturiser itself it very light and runny. You do not need much as it goes a long way however it still feels like you have enough on the skin. It absorbs fast and isnt heavy and doesn't leave a residue.

Unfortunately there was one negative for me...the smell! It is a fresh smell but way to overpowering. However this is personal so you may love the smell, it's just not for me.

I would use again but maybe look for a different fragrance in the range, as I did love the product.

I have normal to dry skin that's prone to breakouts so I was curious to try this balancing lemongrass moisturiser. Firstly the packaging size is alot smaller than I'm used to. The texture is quite thin and runny. It has the lovely lemongrass scent to it which is pleasant, and due to the thin consistency a little goes a long way. It definitely moisturises but isn't overly hydrating. If your skin is more normal to dry then this probably wont be hydrating enough. It didn't break me out or irritate my skin so that's a bonus, I think this product will be fine for me during the hotter months but during winter when my skin is on the dryer side I will have to find something more nourishing. Obviously if you're an oily skin type, I think this product would work amazing for you.

The first thing you notice with this range is its very heavily scented. That's why I was pleasantly surprised when I opened the moisturizer to find that compared to its counterparts the scent was nowhere near as strong. It has a pleasant hereby scent with citrus undertones. I did find it still lingered on the skins surface for an extended period of time.

The moisturizer itself has a lovely light milky gel consistency which made it spread extremely well and absorb into the skin quite quickly. One large pea sized amount covered my whole face and if I applied slightly more I ended up taking it down the neck and decolletage as well. I feel like this would make the product last longer which is great as the tube is smaller than its counterparts.

This product is easy to apply, I just used my finger tips to do so. After I applied the moisturizer there was no oily or silky residue left on the skins surface, I felt dehydrated still and continued to have surface drag and some days I experienced stinging on open blemishes. This would be the perfect solution to an oilier skin type who feels heavier creams worsen their condition.

The packaging I found to be aesthetically boring and not as sleek as the matching cleanser and toner, however its still very functional and worth its price.

While using this product you do have to make sure you allow plenty of time for it to fully absorb into the skin as any residue on the surface balled up underneath the application of my liquid foundation.

I feel like for its price this would be a great alternative for someone who needs a water based moisturizer and who suffers from excess oil and blemishes.

This moisturiser claims to balance oily zones of the face, and as skeptical as I was about how effective it would be, it truly did! I usually have quite oily skin but after applying this moisturiser, my skin would stay mattified for quite a while. Consistency-wise, this moisturiser was a bit runny for my liking. Because it doesn't have spf in it, I used it as a night cream, as I prefer my day creams to contain spf. As a summer night cream, it was alright, as it's quite light on the face, but in winter, I would want something a bit thicker and richer. I had read some other reviews online about how this moisturiser would ball up on people's faces, but I didn't find that at all. I found it went on well, albeit a bit runny, and sunk nicely into the skin without any shine. The smell is also fairly pleasant and not too overpowering.

I was so excited to try this product alongside the cleanser and toner- 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 is nice. I also like that on the back of the box, it’s got the list of ingredients and where they come from (the natural source), which was really cool. The size of this (50mL) was a bit smaller than I had expected, but it would be good travel type size. It’s a squeeze tube and is easy to use and control how much product comes out. The texture was thin and runnier than I had expected but spread really easily onto my face, so only a small amount is needed. It seemed to kind of sit on my skin a bit, rather than being absorbed in. After a few days of use I did notice a couple of small dry patches on my face, so this is probably not hydrating enough for me- I do have dry skin though, where on the box it says normal/combination and is more of a balancing moisturiser, rather than a nourishing one. Therefore it probably didn’t work that well on my skin, due to my skin type. But my sensitive skin didn’t react at all to it!! It smelt very similar to the cleanser, like lemongrass and very fresh, but probably a bit more subtle. Overall, I didn’t find that this worked all that well on my skin but I think that’s because I have a dry type rather than normal/combination, which is the type the product is aimed at.

The moisturiser was smaller than I thought it would be, but a little actually goes a long way which is great and it does seem so soak in quickly/doesn't make my skin feel oily. However, I prefer using it at night (although I do find my skin could feel a bit tight at night after using all three products in the evening) rather than applying makeup over it in the morning.

The main reason for this is that unfortunately on the first day I used it (in the morning), I applied primer as normal and then I started applying my liquid foundation and the moisturiser and the foundation both started coming off in flakes/peels on my face. The next time I used it with a different foundation and did not experience the piling however I have used a few different moisturisers with the first foundation and it has never flaked before. I am sticking to nights now as I don't really have the time to take all my products off and start over most mornings if it was to pile again. Unfortunately this issue would stop me from buying it again or recommending it to friends, as there are so many other moisturisers that work just as well but don't cause the piling - I'm not willing to take the time to try the moisturiser with different primer/foundation combinations to try and find out what the issue is.

I think the moisturiser would be best for Summer due to its cooling gel like consistency and it doesn't quite feel like enough moisture at night when you use it with the cleanser and toner too. The scent is noticeable but it feels like it 'suits' a light gel moisturiser like this and I don't really mind it.

This moisturiser left my skin feeling really hydrated. I suffer from dry skin and I love this product. It feels light on your skin and after this product my skin looks and feels more hydrated. Smells amazing and excellent value for what it does.
