I’m a huge fan of garnier and their cleansers. There’s something for everyone wether you like gels or milks, micellars or creams. I am usually hesitant to try anything rose scented but this was advertised for sensitive skin and was so cheap I gave it a whirl.
The scent - I put up with but would only put up with again if it was effective. I’m just not a huge fan of strong rose or lavander scents for example so I was hesitant. The scent was ok not too overpowering but definitely rose scented. So was it effective??
Not really! Yes for daily use - light makeup, sweat and sunscreen buildup. But no for heavier makeup application. This struggled even with a double cleanse.. it left a lot behind. So left a lot to be desired.
The only plus was that it was gentle for sensitive skin and it was. But if it’s not performing it’s not really worth it.
I was using a lot, washing twice and not really finding the best results so was using it at a fast pace.
I wouldn’t use again personally, if you want something that’s a similar price and just as effective I would recommend the garnier micellar gel.
I use this milky cleanser to remove my makeup at the end of the day, usually in the shower. I massage it onto my damp skin, inclusive eye area and lashes and use a warm wet cloth to remove it. It leaves my skin soft and hydrated, so definitely good for dry skin types, doesn’t irritate me a bit. I go in with a foaming cleanser afterwards as I don’t want any residue on my skin to clog pores but the second cleanser doesn’t go on the eye area and this method works great for my skin. I’d always remove milky and balm cleansers with a foaming type, but I’m just scared of pimples and clogged pores as my skin tends to break out from heavier products, but if you have dry skin types you might get away with this cleanser only. I will not repurchase simply because I like changing up my cleansers and I feel that balm cleansers work better to remove my makeup, but this was inexpensive and a great change, I like rose scented products, so I enjoyed the light scent as well, however I feel I used it up too fast, needed a lot to remove heavier eye makeup too.
Tips: Great for dry skin and light makeup and inexpensive, so buy only if this sounds like you. Not recommended for heavier makeup or oilier skin types.
