At various times during the year I have to switch up my skin care products. This is usually seasonal. In the summer I use something that is oil free, deep cleansing,etc. I the winter months I have to switch to products that are moisturizing and less stripping of my skins natural oils. So,this past winter I decided to try something new which was a cleanser from the Garnier Moisture Rescue line.
My decision was based on the product description. My skin had been feeling dry & tight lately after I washed my face so I needed to switch to a product less drying.Product Description:Garnier Moisture Rescue Fresh Cleansing Foam helps lock-in moisture while deeply cleansing. Detoxifies and deeply cleanses your skin, leaving it refreshed and hydrated.Key Ingredients:-Grape Water Extract: Full of antioxidants that defends skin from external toxins & aggressors.
-Apple Water Extract: Maintains skin's moisture barrier.The cleanser has the Constancy of Noxema & thick lotion mixed together. And has a pearly white color to it. The scent is not very obvious or heavy. I've been smelling it trying to come up with a description of exactly what it smells like and the best I can come up with is the smell of fresh produce. A soft subtle scent of sweet & fresh.
The cleanser is very creamy & creates minimal lather. Not extremely bubbly. Which is a good thing because in general the agents that create lather in soap is also what dehydrates the skin & hair in shampoos.
My Experience:It felt soothing & creamy on my skin while I was washing my face. I found it t be a very skin soothing cleanser. I didn't experience any tingling or stinging & it was not irritating around my eye area.
When I rinsed my face I felt that it rinsed clean. Meaning I didn't notice or feel a residue left behind on my skin.
It also did a great job of removing my make up. Including mascara.
When I was done washing my face & patted it dry my skin felt very fresh, but not over cleansed or stripped. My skin felt much more hydrated & supple compared to how my skin was reacting to my old cleanser.
I no longer had that tight & dry feeling & found I didn't have to use as much moisturizer on my skin after washing.
I have now been using this cleanser for a few months & it has not caused any skin irritation or break outs. Which can happen sometimes after prolonged use of creamy, moisturizing products.*Cleanser Comes in an 6.8oz
I think this cleanser would be ideal for those with sensitive skin or skin that tends to be on my dry side.
