I bought this product about 4 months ago and I have not run out of the product yet! I use at least once every day to clean my face more effectively than I can with just my fingers. The product's design is great and it is very easy to use. The bristles on the brush are very soft and gentle on my skin when they're wet and even though the brush is all wet when i put it away, it has not gotten moldy or anything nasty like that at all :) It takes off all of my foundation and makes my skin feel smooth after each use. The only problem is that it CANNOT replace exfoliating my skin because that takes off dead skin cells that the brusher can't remove by itself. But besides that, this is a great buy!
I just got this about a week or so ago and, like others, was pretty skeptical of the brush. I thought it would be too harsh but actually it was surprisingly soft. I agree that its a little difficult to get the right amount of product on the brush,( and I'm sure it will be very difficult once there is less cleanser in the bottle), but it isn't rocket science. After a few times it's pretty easy to use. It leaves my face feeling refreshed, grease free and much softer. It's great on the blackheads I get around my nose: My pores were visibly smaller just after one use. The cleanser itself has a nice pleasant gentle fragrance Overall I find it much less aggravating on trouble areas than harsh exfoliants and it's a pretty great deal for the price. Will definitely buy again.
Firstly, BIG thanks to the Product Review club for sending me this product. Overall, I quite liked the Garnier Skin Renew gel brush cleanser, even-though I have only been using it for 2 days! I would probably recommend it to those with non-sensitive, normal/ dry to oily skin combinations.
Here are some things I liked about this product:
- Love the smell
- I like the massaging feeling on my skin during application (the bristles are actually surprisingly gentle!)
- I like that afterward it does not leave my skin super dry, and it actually feels moisturized!
- I also think it does a great job in removing dead skin cells, which is why I think it is a great alternative to harsh exfoliators that irritate the skin
Some of the things I would've changed/didn't like:
- I think that they could improve the way in which the product is applied, because it can be a little hard to squeeze the bottle
- I usually don't use an eye makeup remover, just my facial cleanser--however you cannot use this product around the eye area, which meant that I had to wash my eye make-up off first and then use the product. (mostly a convenience issue)
So, overall I think that it is a great product, and I will continue using it 2-3 times a week as a substitute for my exfoliator!
I love this. I was amazed at how soft the brush was. I have really noticed a difference in my skin its softer and more vibrant. It is a bit hard as mentioned to get out but its not so difficult that I wont stick with it. I love it and its so quick to use.
I used this product every day twice a day for two weeks. I was surprised to see that the brusher part was soft. I noticed that my skin was smoother and felt massaged. However, I felt that the product was a little difficult to get out. I had to turn the bottle upside down, shake and you had to squeeze just the right amount to get the gel sudsy. One time I squeezed too little and not enough came out. I do not know about others but I always forget to twist it shut after squeezing the product out and then washing my face. I also thought that using this would take a lot of time out of my morning and evening routine. But I was wrong. it was not time consuming at all. I also like the fragrance of the product - not too strong and over powering.
I got this as part of the product review club (thanks!!). I was not sure how to quite use the brusher but quickly got the hang of it. The clenser smells very nice and did not dry out my skin at all. The bruser quickly banished the big patch of dry skin on my forehead. I also recieved a Garnier face moisturizer in the mail which also made my face very smooth! After the first use I my skin was noticibly smoother and felt soooo soft. After using it for around a week my skintone also looked more even and still just as soft. It caused me to break out around my nose (probably because it was a very moisturizing clenser) so I stopped using it on that area and the blemishes went away. For that reason, I would reccomend this more to people with dryer skin, and not to people with oily skin because it can cause you to break out. I will definately be purchasing this again... thanks!
I started using this for about 3days now. I like the feel of the soft brush on my skin. I don't think I have used it long enough to see dramatic changes but it does definitely clean and stimulates my skin. It's like a massage for my face. The cleanser is very effective at getting rid of oils/grease on my face. The one thing I like the most is that it does not leave my skin feeling dry. I use it at night before bed and I don't put anything else on my face afterwards. Other products have left my skin feeling dry but this cleanser doesn't.
I'm definitely continuing to use it every night.
Really did not love this product, but I almost feel like I need to review the cleanser separetly from the brusher.
First, I absolutly hate the applicator. It is easy to use, but when I washed my face using this, product sprayed everywhere. Onto the mirror, into my eyes (stings), lots of fun. Than it foams up and gets into my nose. I've gotten to the point where I I get the product onto the brush than put it on my hand and just wash my face normally. I don't really see a point to the brusher. It didn't make my skin feel softer so I don't thing its exfoliating at all. I generally like garnier's products, but do away with the gimmicky packaging.
The cleanser itself is alright. Does what it's suppose to - get my skin clean. I didn't feel any noticable difference afterwards. I might buy this cleanser if it came in a regular bottle and was on sale (under $10) but I think that there are lots of other comprable drugstore brands that do the same thing.
I got this as part of the product review club, and really liked the idea of the brush but was skeptical on it's effectiveness and how hygienic it would be (the dispenser traps water which stays there until you wash your face again).
When I first used it, gauging the amount of cleanser was harder than if you had dispensed in on your hand.
I really liked the texture of the brush (it's flexibility and softness) but was rather disappointed in how it performed on my face. The bristles seem a bit long so that it bends if you want more pressure on your skin -rendering the concept of the brush useless.
The shape of the bottle was somewhat difficult to handle.
I dont recommend this to people with petite facial features (the nose) because the brush is much less convenient and effective than your hands.
I loved the gel cleanser. Not at all drying and it seemed to brighten my skin. The scent is nice and light but stays on your skin at least for a few hours afterward. It didn't make a difference to how I normally applied my moisturizer.
Overall, I would recommend it just for the cleanser but not for the brush.
I received this in the mail as part of the product review club. My first impression was that the concept is unique and I haven't seen anything quite like it. At first I was pretty skeptical because how much of a difference are some rubber scrubbers going to make.
First time I tried it I found it a bit difficult to control the amount of cleanser that comes out and to get just the right amount. In this situation regular cleansers that you squeeze out in your hand are much easier.
When I got the right amount it worked up into a pretty good lather. It gave my skin a slight tingling feeling with the scrubbers. After using it for about a week I noticed my pores were slightly smaller, especially around my nose area which has always been my trouble spot.
Normally cleansers always dry out my skin and this one did not overly dry it out. The scent was nice and not too powerful.
I would definitely suggest using this and i'll be purchasing another when I run out!
