Garnier Skin Naturals Gentle Soothing Face Wash Review

This was the first face wash I used from Garnier way back when it was introduced. I distinctively remembered loving the amazing smell from this face wash. The face wash is something I need every day and can't live without it. Some days when I feel extremely lazy, I simply skip the cleansing part and directly wash off my face with a good foaming face wash that is effective enough to remove the residual makeup and follow it up with a good toner and moisturizing gel. Garnier is always a good option when you want a decent budget friendly product. So when I first saw this product in my recent Diva Likes haul, I was curious to find out how this face wash works on my skin now. Let us get into the details of the product.

My Experience With Garnier Skin Naturals Gentle Soothing Face Wash:

The face wash comes in a long white soft plush tube with a flip open cap. The tube is soft and lightweight but strong enough to carry while traveling. It doesn't cause any fuss or leakage. The face wash is totally transparent and resembles water and has a rather runny consistency. The amount you require is much more of a daily face wash so even though the tube looks big, the product is going is to finish within 15-20 days and doesn't even last a month.

The lather is minimal as it is a gentle soap as against a foaming face wash. It has a glorious aroma of blended floral and cloves which stimulates and pleases the senses. In fact, this is the best feature of the face wash. The scent lingers for half an hour and fades off after that. I always prefer it as a morning wash as the face wash is gentle and has a beautiful scent.

Coming to its performance, the face wash has only a gentle effect on it. It has a slightly slippery feeling which takes lot of water to wash off. Even after washing, you would notice a faint slippery feeling until you pat dry. The face wash doesn't have the ability to wash off makeup or any other thing in that matter except for dirt and grease. It is a perfect pick for normal to dry skin, but oily skin may not prefer it. It leaves the skin soft and supple and doesn't strip off the natural oils.
It doesn't breakout and in reality controls the acne issues slightly due to the presence of salicylic acid, which also purifies the pores though I didn't notice much difference in the pores. Overall, this is a decent mild face wash and a budget friendly option.
