Review: I love citrus-based scents because they’re so refreshing. So I simply had to try the Garnier Pure Active Fruit Energy Daily Energizing Gel Wash, simply for the grapefruit component alone.

And yes, I do love its scent. It’s mild, fresh and not too zesty. Just breathing in the fruity fragrance of this facial wash made my morning cleansing routine much more enjoyable.

A single pump will dispense just the right amount of gel wash that you’ll need. The gel wash was gentle on my skin too. After each use, my skin felt clean and refreshed, without that too squeaky clean effect that some facial cleansers may give.

It’s at a really wallet-friendly price and like I’ve said, the citrusy scent is a perk. I’ve used this gel wash for over a month now, with no skin problems to report.
