    Upon receiving this product, I didn't think I'd be that impressed. I started using L'Oreal's Go 360 Degrees Clean cleanser about two or three weeks before getting this, so I figured it'd probably be roughly the same. Well first of all, although I like L'Oreal's product, the "scrublet"s teeth are alot small, so I feel like the large rubber teeth of this product helps to clean my skin alot better. Being a teenager, I have mild acne, and I find it heals faster, and doesn't look as irritated as it tends to with other products. I did find it a little awkward using the brush, but I think it's just the shape of the tube, and I'm not too worried about comfort of handling it. Overall, I do like this product, and would reccomend it to all my friends.
    P.S- the moisturizer that came with this? HEAVEN ON EARTH! Love it to death!

    I can't say it's the best but it did the same amount of cleaning as my other facial cleansers. I found it weird with using the brush but after awhile it felt awesome and sort of fun. It massages the gel in perfectly and it felt great after. My only problem was first the instructions on it and how weird it was using this rubber brush.

    I enjoyed using the brusher. It was gentle and comfortable, and much less messy compared to using my hands. I found it effective for removing my makeup. It has a nice clean fresh scent, and my skin felt very smooth after use. I tried the moistuirizer that was also sent along with the cleanser (thanks!) and really enjoyed it. I actually just ran out of my usual moisturizer - but I think from now on this will be the one that I purchase! I used it over the sink today, but I am planning on trying it in the shower tomorrow morning.

    All in all, I thought this was a great product.

    I received this product through the review panel. The product seems to really clean well. I love the brush. I found it hard to dispense the gel and get the right amount, not too little or too much. I found a difference to my face on the first day and I hope it keeps on improving throughout my use. I enjoyed that the product was allergy tested, but it did not say if it was hypoallergic. I am not sure if I will be purchasing it, I think I will wait until the bottle is finished before I decide.

    this cleanser was very easy to use because of the attached brush, i didn't need a washcloth.
    the brush was very helpful rather than just a gel cleanser because it cleanses deep into your skin and is able to remove dirt/makeup better than a regular cleanser. i also liked that it has a mild scent that isn't overpowering. after using it my skin was definitely cleaner but left it a bit dry. using the Garnier cream afterwards really made a difference. i used this cleanser over the sink. i would definitely recommend this and would purchase it again because its better than the leading cleansers that i've tried - it does the job!

    I was very lucky to receive this new product from Garnier as part of the Chickadvisor review panel. So far, my sensitive dry skin has adapted well to this gel cleanser.
    I was hesitant at first to use a gel foamy cleanser for my skin as it tends to get quite "tight" feeling if I use anything that could possible strip my already dry skin. I am happy to say that this cleanser leaves me feeling clean, but not stripped of moisture.
    The cleanser comes with an attached brush head that does the double duty of creating the foamy action and exfoliation. I advise first wetting the head thoroughly with water to soften those plastic bristles up. Then you only need to squeeze a pea sized amount of the cleanser into the brush head, and use small, circular motions to gently "scrub" your wet face free of makeup and dirt. The cleanser does a fairly good job of getting rid of most traces of my makeup. I would NOT recommend using this cleanser for your eye makeup, as it stung a bit when some accidentally got into my eyes. If you use waterproof makeup or sunscreen, I would recommend using an oil cleanser first and then using the Skin Renew cleanser to get rid of the oil residues.
    The big plus for me with this Garnier cleanser is that it cleanses and exfoliates in one step. My face felt clean and had a nice glow after. The cleanser has a faint, but pleasant smell, and it rinses off quite easily.
    L'Oreal was also very thoughtful and included the Skin Renew Radiance Moisture Cream in the review package. This is the perfect complement to the cleanser. I put the cream on after I had patted my face dry, and my skin is still slightly moist. The cream is enriched with caffeine, lycopene, and Vitamin C. It absorbed well into my skin, and did not leave it feeling greasy at all while keeping my skin moisturized.
    Like the cleanser, the cream has a faint, but pleasant smell.
    I will continue to use these two products in conjunction to see what the long term results are for my skin. So far, I am very impressed, and have already allowed my sister to try the cleanser out, and she, too, is very impressed and now wants one for herself.
    This is a product that I would definitely recommend to others.

    I was chosen to review the Garnier Skin Renew Brusher and was super excited when I received it along with an unexpected extra goodie - The Garnier Skin Renew moisture cream!!!

    The Brusher is great because it exfoliates as well as cleanses and removes most makeup with the exception of mascara and water proof products.
    You need very little of the cleanser, which I wasn't expecting my first try! I used a bit too much and found that it took for ever to rinse off my face.

    Smell - It smells great! very fresh and light, makes you feel nice and clean when you're done!
    Texture - This is definitely a compliment when I say it kind of has the same texture and thickness as palmolive dish soap. It stays on and works itself into a nice lather and you can really feel it working after the first trial.
    Packaging - This is the greatest invention for the lazy gal who hates washing her face and exfoliating (aka me). I bring it into the shower and it actually makes face washing a fun experience!
    A tip from me to you - After squeezing out a pea size amount of the cleanser, make sure to screw the cap back to the closed position so that when you are washing you don't accidentally squeeze out more, or get your dirty soap backwashed into the bottle :)

    Overall Rating - I can't wait to wash my face again!!!

    I used this product in the shower every day, as the product tends to run down the bottle during the massaging and can get a littly messy if this is done over the sink. The cleanser has a light, fruity scent that isnt overpowering, and the bristles are stiff rubber when dry, but a bit softer when wet. The texture is unlike anything I have ever tried before, and felt very strange at first, but felt very nice and exfoliated well. I liked that the brush created the lather, and after washing it off, my face felt clean and fresh. It also made my moisturizer glide on very smoothly afterwards.

    This isnt a strong cleanser, and if you were wearing makeup you should probably use a makeup remover prior to this. My skin tone looks more even and my skin is clearer thanks to those rubber bristles. Overall, I enjoyed using this and my face has even looked noticeably brighter, as one of my friends pointed out today. I then recommended the product to her, as I will to others.

    I was super excited to be chosen to review this product, this was my first Chickadvisor review product. I was even more excited when the brush gel-cleanser also came with the moisture cream. I thought this was great because I do have dry skin and I thought the gel cleanser may be too harsh on my skin and would need that added moisture after use.

    So... how easy was it to use? To use the gel cleanser, you need to hold the product upside down and squeeze the product for it to come out out of the brush area and the massage it circularly on your face, whilst dampening the brush head under water. When receiving the product, I immediately thought that the brush head would be too harsh on my skin, cause again my skin is dry, can be irritated easily. I thought the softness of the brush was adequate, it could of been better.

    The product was easy to use, if you used it right, if you followed the directions. I don't use a washcloth to wash my face, usually just use my hands, and usually do it in the shower, and I felt it was best to use this that way as well. You need to be careful not to go near your eyes when using this, as your skin is gentle and fragile there, I would focus this on areas that are more acne-prone like the forehead, nose and chin. I also tried not to push too hard when using it, so that I did not agitate my skin.

    I like the idea of the brusher. I know L'oreal has a similar product out right now, with a scrubber attached to it, the brush on this product may aid more in exfoliating and I would totally use this brush on other products if it allowed for that.

    The cleanser formula was nice, I find Garnier products are not heavily perfumed, which is nice. It did seem to clean my face pretty well. I generally wash my face twice, once with moist wipes to take off my makeup (if I wear any that day) and then a second time with a cleanser.

    After repeated use, I feel that my skin got used to this product, but the first time, it did feel tight after use. But that could just be because my skin is fairly dry, like I mentioned before.

    It definitely helped to have the moisturizer afterwards, I always moisturize my face after cleansing and it was super nice of Chickadvisor/Garnier to add this to the testing product. I think a lot of women were happy with this. I like using products from the same company/line if at all possible because I think your results may be better this way.

    I usually used this product in the shower, it is less messy and you can ensure that you get all of the product off.

    I would recommend this product to others, I like the idea of the brusher on the top a lot and it is unique having that feature.

    I was really excited to get this product for review so as soon as it came I quickly jumped into the shower with it in hand. I was a bit concerned that the brush might be too firm for rubbing on my face but it wasn't. The brushes bristles are very flexiable and soft. The bottle was very simple to use just twist the cap turn the bottle upside down and squeeze out some gel. Then you close off the top run the brush under some warm water and its ready to go!

    When I first started using the brush on my face I was welcomed by a fresh cool scent. It was very eye opening thats for sure. I think it was a tad too strong for my likes. I normaly like the uncented products for my sensitive skin.

    I ran the brush around my face in soft circular motions and noticed when it came to my nose and cheek bones the brush would flick product off the bristles and it would get everywhere (good thing I'm in the shower). It also concerned me since if I had my eyes open it would of more than likely ended up in my eyes.

    After rinsing the product off my face and drying my face lightly with a towel. I noticed it was looking a lot more pink and even toned but that was just on first inspection. Apon further use I will pay close attention to my complextions evenness.

    They supplied me with the Skin Renew cream so I aplied some after my shower to seal in the moisture. I really liked this mositurizer! (I will review it seperately).

    My overal opinion on this product is very good I will recommend it to friends and family for sure.
