Garnier Nutritioniste Nuti-Pure Detoxifying Gel Cleanser: Review

I was out on the prowl for a new facial cleanser. I go through about 2 bottles of facial cleanser in a month. I'm obsessed with washing my face, and doing whatever it is I can to savior my youth now, before I start getting (shivers) wrinkles!

Usually I start with a cleanser and then a moisturizer. Rumor has it that moisturizers and wrinkle creams are the key to saving face for as long as possible. I however never stick to one particular brand.

I'm all over the place, trying everything and anything that I can possibly get my hands (paycheck) on.

My pick up this month goes to Garnier Nutritioniste Nuti-Pure Detoxifying Gel Cleanser. To be honest, I was not going to buy this cleanser because the bottle resembled the color of booger, or pea soup puke.

Due to the lovely fact that Garnier Nutritioniste Nuti-Pure Detoxifying Gel Cleanser had a mini sample of some micro bead cleanser with it, I bought it. It was like a 2 for 1 deal.

Packaging:
 
Garnier Nutritioniste Nuti-Pure Detoxifying Gel Cleanser comes in a standard plastic stand up pump bottle. However the bottle is not attractive at all. As I already mentioned, it has a sickening puke green tint to it, with a very noisy label on it. What I mean by noisy, is that the label had far too much writing on it, with far too much bland text colors on it. I barely could tell that this was a cleanser made by Garnier.

The picture included here, is actually a lot neater looking then the bottle I came across.

The Promise:
 
Nothing spectacular promised here. The usual promise most cleansers come with include the same, and more. Garnier Nutritioniste Nuti-Pure Detoxifying Gel Cleanser gives you a basic promise, which includes cleansing skin, while gently detoxifying, leaving skin deeply clean and pure.

I personally was hoping for more; like pore shrinking or something. Garnier Nutritioniste Nuti-Pure Detoxifying Gel Cleanser though promised nothing of the sort. I didn't mind though, most cleansers that promise pore shrinkage does not shrink anything.
 
My Use:
 
Well first I pumped out a few squirts of the clear gel into my palms, and then ran some water over it. Next I scrubbed the gel into my face.

The scent was truly gorgeous. It had a nice citrusy scent followed with a light tone of apples. I liked it, and it fit well with Garniers official citrus scent that many Garnier fans know and adore.

Anyhow, Garnier Nutritioniste Nuti-Pure Detoxifying Gel Cleanser lathered up quite well, and rinsed away without leaving any residue behind or slick oily feeling, so all was well.

My skin felt fresh, clean, and rejuvenated afterward, so it gets two thumbs up from me. I also liked how the scent gave me the perfect morning energy kick that I needed.

Long Term Results:
 
I've been using Garnier Nutritioniste Nuti-Pure Detoxifying Gel Cleanser for a week now, and I have a few complaints. Although I love how Garnier Nutritioniste Nuti-Pure Detoxifying Gel Cleanser makes my skin feel, it does nothing for my skin during the duration of the day. Most cleansers will keep me shine free, and oil free for the majority of the day. Just a few hours after using Garnier Nutritioniste Nuti-Pure Detoxifying Gel Cleanser, oil was present on my forehead and nose. Ech!

Not only that, but Garnier Nutritioniste Nuti-Pure Detoxifying Gel Cleanser doesn't protect my skin from future outbreaks. Now there are plenty of cleansers out there that don't protect from breakouts...but there are also plenty out there that do.

Garnier Nutritioniste Nuti-Pure Detoxifying Gel Cleanser gets added to the list of those crappy cleansers that are great while using them, but suck in the long run when it comes to protecting skin from the nasties you face during the day.

Overall:
 
Garnier Nutritioniste Nuti-Pure Detoxifying Gel Cleanser basically has a gorgeous energizing scent, but stops there. It does not work enough magic to keep my skin shine free, and breakout free.

Recommended:
 
Sorry, I love you Garnier...but Garnier Nutritioniste Nuti-Pure Detoxifying Gel Cleanser just failed to impress me enough to recommend it to others.
