Garnier SkinActive Refreshing Cream Cleanser, 5.75 fl oz

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is one of the best facial cleansers I have used yet. I've been using it for about 2 weeks now and I cannot stop raving about it. It breaks down and removes my all of my makeup, including my waterproof foundation and any eye products I've used for the day. I usually have to use a separate cleanser for my eyes because my skin is so sensitive. I wear contacts and am very careful about the products I use around my eyes. I was extremely surprised that I had no irritation and it didn't leave a film on my contacts like other cleansers do. I am amazed I can use it so safely on my eyes. I love the fact that it is a vegan formula and made without parabens, silicones or sulfates. It is extremely refreshing on the skin as soon as I apply it. It is thick and creamy like lotion. One of my favorite things about this product is that I apply it to dry skin and I don't have to wet my face before using it. When I'm done cleansing my face I rinse everything off and then wipe it dry with the towel. After washing my face I do feel a slight oily texture to my skin and on my hands but after wiping it with the towel my skin feels clean, refreshed and extremely hydrated. It is made with aloe juice which is always great for the skin. I highly, highly recommend this cleanser. I will be purchasing it again and again!

Feels great leaves my skin feeling nice.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was the first Garnier facial cleanser I have ever used and I am honestly very impressed. First of all, I love the fact that it was made with aloe, because everyone knows that aloe is such a refreshing thing to put on your skin, and having it in an everyday facial cleanser is genius. It goes on so smooth, but what I really love is that my skin still feels that smooth when I rinse it off. I have issues with my nose and chin peeling sometimes because I just have naturally dry skin, but in the couple weeks I have been using this cleanser, I have seen a noticeable difference in how much more hydrated my skin is. Also, I typically shower at night, so whatever facial cleanser I'm using in the shower is what I'm using to wash my make-up off, and this cleanser does a much better job than most. Usually when I get out of the shower I still have a ton of black around my eyes from the make-up not being all the way washed off, but this cleanser has pretty much eliminated that issue. So the next thing that I absolutely love about this cleanser is that it's vegan, but the really amazing part is that all the ingredients in it are listed out on the back in a chart stating where the ingredient came from as well, and not just in super tiny print at the very bottom, like on most products, but in writing you can actually read, without a magnifying glass, in the middle of the tube on the back. That by itself gives me a lot of respect for Garnier as a company because it means that they stand by their product enough to clearly list out everything in it, like they're not ashamed of anything in it, which is pretty rare nowadays when we are finding out everyday that our favorite products have awful things in them. I absolutely love this facial cleanser and Garnier in general for making a natural product and not trying to hide bad ingredients. I give it a major thumbs up and would love to see a lotion come out to go with it if there isn't already one.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have a lot of allergies so I am always looking for products that are sensitive for my skin. This product was very mild for my face and left my skin feeling smooth. I didn't have any redness, dryness, or itching after using it. I also love that it has a lot of natural ingredients and doesn't contain sulfates that can be bad for the environment. It's a win win for me.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been using this in the morning and at night. When I use it in the morning it provides hydrogen and my skin is so soft all day! Makes my skin look so vibrant. Then at night I use it to remove the makeup I applied in the morning and to clean away dirt and buildup. It makes taking makeup off sooo easy and again makes my skin look so healthy!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have tried this product for about two weeks now and I can honestly say that I like the way it makes my skin feel. I have really dry skin and it has kept my face from being so dry and I really didn't have to moisturize as much as I did before. I also have sensitive skin and it didn't irritate my face. I am adding this cleanser to my daily routine.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So I have been using this Garnier Skin Active Face wash for almost a month now and overall it is a nice face wash but will not be my go to wash. It is different from anything I've ever used. Here's my verdict: Pros: 1. Very moisturizing, so if you have really dry skin you may love this cleanser. 2. I love that the ingredients are clearly listed on the packaging in a way that makes it easy for health/skin conscious consumers to see what they are putting on their skin and easily look it up if they don't know what it is. It's like they have no secrets and that's a welcome change for a skin care products. 3. Most of the ingredients are great for maintaining or achieving healthy skin. 4. It did not aggravate my acne or cause any more breakouts! 5. I saved money on moisturizers because my skin always felt like I had lotion on after I used the cleanser. Cons: 1. Takes time to get used to applying the cleanser to dry skin. 2. For me it actually started to feel like I wasn't washing my face at all, like I wasn't really getting clean..just applying lotion to my face. 3. I tried it with my face brush and I still did not feel clean, it left me still wanting to wash my face again. 4. I would not recommend for oily skin. I have combo dry/ oily very acne prone sensitive skin and the oily parts of my face (in the T zone) were the parts that felt most unclean.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As a chronic sufferer of dry flaky skin... this cleanser was amazing. It felt super hydrating and milky as you rubbed it in. The smell wasn't too overpowering (which my sensitive nose was grateful for) and it didn't feel too heavy. I do have to mention it claims to remove makeup but I would still use a makeup remover before cleansing. It took awhile to rub away my eyeliner. I've never really sought out products with aloe but this may have converted me into a follower of aloe products in the future. It was so hydrating I could skip moisturizing. One thing that bothered me was the packaging. I don't know why I have such a hard time popping mine open. Maybe it would benefit from a pump? Since winter is around the corner, I definitely recommend everyone to try it out!

I have been using this for about 2 months. Like how it cleans my skin and it smells great. I am unhappy with it as a makeup remover. It does not take the mascara off. So then I have to go to step 2 and use real makeup remover. It is very hard to open the tube. I have to use a wash rag and pry it open. I have never been able to open it with my bare hands and I consider myself strong.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The cream seems to disappear in my fingers as I started to put it on my face. After I rinsed it off, my face felt like there was still cream on it. I didn't feel refreshed or hydrated to be honest.
