When I first purchased this product, I was unsure of what to expect as I have not used any Garnier skincare product in the past. When I first used this, I found it hard to squeeze the bottle to get the product out, but maybe that's just me. In fact, in trying to get the gel product out of the bottle, I have permanently dented it, and it no longer goes back to its original shape. I have sensitive skin, not too sensitive, but some exfoliating scrubs or exfoliating skin products have irritated my skin, but he bristles aren't too harsh. After several uses, I found that my skin is softer than previously, and also a slight brightening effect as well. It also helped in lightening my acne scars from the past. The cleanser doesn't completely remove my makeup, but it's still a really nice product. It also has a very nice scent (not too strong), similar to the scent in Garnier shampoos. Overall, I quite like this product, even though it's quite cumbersome to use in the beginning, I'm definitely liking the results it gives! It doesn't dry out my skin like other cleansers do.
I just received this product recently and it has only been 4 days that I have been using it. Very easy to use, however a little harder compared with other facial washes, where you use your hands.
Initially I thought that the brusher would be a little rougher, however the texture of the bristles are soft and it seems to be effective so far. I feel like you are getting some exfoliation as well as getting a massage, therfore stimulating the blood flow.
The scent is nice, however I can see it be a little strong for people who are not used to scented facial washers. The cleanser seems to be mild (not very soapy!). After 4 uses so far along with the moisturizer, my skin feels smooth, rejuvinated and clean. I think the key is the moisturizer..
I would definitely recommend the cleanser ALONG with the moisturizer to see a difference.
At first, I thought the bristles would be super stiff and too abrasive on my sensitive skin, but they turned out to be really gentle. I'm a person who needs to see their cleanser foam up to know that it's really cleaning my skin and with the gel cleanser along with the scrubbing head, I felt like I got a seriously deep clean. It's ridiculously easy to use over the sink (the only place I've tried it so far) and it stores easily. My only problem is the scent, as I tend to be wary when using fragranced products on my face.
I also really enjoyed the moisturizer they sent along with it. It sunk right into my skin and was easy to wear under makeup. I like the fact that there is caffeine in the product so I've also been using it under my eyes in the morning to help with my bags. Nothing dramatic yet, but I plan to continue using both the cleanser and moisturizer for the two weeks recommended (I only just got it this Thursday). So far so good!
My first experience with a Garnier skincare product was quite disappointing so my expectations were on the low side.I was happy to be able to give Garnier another shot.
I thought it was pretty easy to use, I did find myself squeezing the bottle harder than I expected to. The brush itself looks harder than it is but it felt quite strange when I first used it. Like some kind of alien life form massaging my face (strange but it's what I thought when I used it). It was nice after that though, like getting a mini facial massage every morning and night. It made for a nice, gentle exfoliation which is great for my sensitive skin ( and my obsession with exfoliation).
Scent can be an issue with me but I thought it was light and pleasant. A nice change from other, medical smelling products. My boyfriend even commented on how nice it smelled. My face felt really refreshed after using it, especially when paired with the Garnier skin Renew Regenerating day cream. My skin felt soft and smooth. I thought it really did a great job at prepping my skin for my makeup, it went on better and looked great.
I think it's a good idea though I would probably made it easier to squeeze and perhaps designed differently for holding it which was a little awkward for me. I didn't use it in the shower because I like to see what I'm doing, besides I didn't really find it to be messy. I can't say my skin is more even toned as I haven't been using it long enough but I'm confident it will help with the overall appearance of my skin.
I would recommend it, especially if you have sensitive skin and prefer frequent exfoliation. I think the price is right, it is more than I am able to spend at the moment but I would be willing to spend a bit more on it.
The first thing I thought about this product was "Gimmick". I felt a little more than odd standing in my bathroom rubbing this thing all over my face, but to my surprise, after several seconds of light, circular motions, it started feel much like a massage. Ahh, relaxing! I only wish the scent was as soothing; personally, it was a little strong for my nose.
Though I've been using it twice a day, everyday since I received it in the mail on April 8th, I can't say I notice a drastic difference in my skin just yet. Obviously not enough time, but I do like that unlike most cream or gel cleansers, my skin feels really clean. I <3 scrubbing.
The product itself is easy enough to use. Twist open, turn upside down, squeeze, twist close, run under warm water and wash away the day! The soap doesn't drip down your face, but I did find using the brush over my nose flung some around. This wouldn't be a big deal in the shower, but in front of the mirror...well, you get the idea.
All in all, this product is pretty good. I'll give it more time before I decide whether I'd purchase it on my own though.
Stay tuned!
I got this product and the first time i used it in the shower it was a little tricky to figure out. make sure you hold the bottle upside down, swueeze and then close it up. but after i figured that out i was good to go. I like the brush. it was a little unexpected, i thought the bristles would be stiffer but they were quite soft, and gently on my face. I normally use a facial cleanser that exfoliates cause i really like my face to feel clean, its the kind of cleanliness i dont get with a cream cleanser. this gel formula has a mild scent and is easy on my skin while still feeling like i really cleaned my face. I feel liek my face is very soft, and i dont seem to have alot of dry patches.
My husband has a very dry patch of skin on between his eyebrows and has started using my facewash and he feels that there is less dead skin. I am still working on getting him to try the moisturizer though.
With the product review i got the Garnier Nutritioniste Skin Renew Daily Regenerating Moisturizer Lotion and the moisturizer felt great on my face after i had washed it.
I have used this product both over the sink and in the shower. its one of few i use over the sink as it didnt make a huge mess, the soap stayed on my face not dripping everywhere
I am definatly going to buy this product again. both for myself and my husband
This product was really easy to use compared with using a washcloth or your hands. I thought the brush will feel rough on my skin, but I was very surprised that the bristles were very soft and flexible, easy to use. I liked the mildness of the cleanser and the scent was soft. My skin felt more fresher and very soft after using it. After using the moisturizer with it, I felt a difference in my skin tone. The cream was amazing, not greasy at all. I used the product over the sink, just a little bit messy but I can deal with it. I will definately reccomend this product to my friends and I will but these products again. Thank you ChickAdvisor and Garnier for letting me test this amazing product!
This is a unique cleanser, and I was anxious to try it out. I actually loved the idea of the incorporated brush head yet I wasn't sure of it when I first saw it, the bristles seemed kinda rough and stiff to give a good exfolation. They are actually soft and flexible, and the whole mechanism is kinda wicked and very easy to use. The cleanser seemed ok, but just ok. A mild, regular cleanser, non drying, not very foamy and soapy, a good basic cleanser just good for day to day use. However, I expected something more, something rougher to really exfoliate and give me that squeaky clean feeling.
Overall, it's easy to use in the shower but not over the sink, it can get quite messy, the foam can get runny.
It's and ok product, fairly easy to use, gentle bot nothing over the top. It was fun to try it out. A fun product
