Garnier Clean + Purifying Foam Cleanser

Combination skin is a weird thing to have – if you buy products for oily skin it will dry out face, but moisturizing products don’t take care of excess oil. We tried the Garnier Clean + Purifying Foam Cleanser, which is for combination skin, to see if it really did strike the balance. Instead of salicylic acid (which can be too harsh for everyday use for many), this cleanser uses foaming action to lift the oil and dirt out of your skin. The bottle itself is unique, instead of pumping the cleanser, you just squeeze the bottle to get the foam in your hand. You may think it’s annoying to use if you shake it as you’ll just get a little bit of liquid. The key with this is to just pick it up and squeeze with the bottle upright. It would be helpful if Garnier had made it clearer on the packaging. It’s one of those things that you’ll hate until you get the hang of it, and then you’ll think the packaging is ingenious.

Garnier Clean + Purfiying Foam Cleanser also has antioxidants, Grapefruit, and Pomegranate to nourish your skin. The cleanser is great for softening your skin. With long term use, we found it to be a little drying, but combination cleansers always err on one side. If your skin tends to be a little more dry, we would suggest using this cleanser in the morning only and using a very mild cleanser at night. We also found Clean + Purifying Cleanser to be non-irritating, so those with sensitive skin will probably like it too.
