Garnier Green Labs Retinol-Berry Routine

Absolutely beautiful products that leave the skin fresh , soft and fine line free. I will be buying the 3 in 1 from now on it was just amazing.

I've used Cream Cleansers for years and tried high end Retinol products in the past, so super keen to try this Garnier Green Labs duo of Super Berry and Retinol. With Claims including nourished and comforted skin, reduction in fine lines, and reduced dark circles, suitably tested for all skin types including sensitive.

The packaging for both products is green and white in colour with Garnier's typical informational style, with a green colour cream cleanser. Both are pump bottles, making use nice and easy. The Fragrance-Free Serum Cream's key ingredients are Retinol, and Superberry Acai and Schisandra extracts, while the Cream Cleanser is Amino & Super Berry.

With both products, a small amount was all that was needed. Both have lovely, silky textures. The cleanser works super well without drying skin, and does indeed leave it feeling more nourished, with a lovely base for applying the Serum Cream, which absorbs well without any stickiness, and feels lovely and cool. As an eye cream, it doesn't feel too rich at all. I loved that I didn't have to use an additional serum or eye cream. I didn't experience any tingling or redness as Retinol can do. After 2 weeks, my skin feels more nourished, comfortable, and a little patch of dry, flakiness has disappeared. I haven't noticed any reduction in fine lines, however under-eye appears smoother. Skin is nicely hydrated. As a duo, my skin feels and looks more comfortable and nourished, they are both lovely to use.

Liked this skincare mix of a wash and a moisturiser with a serum built in - fewer steps is always good. The bottles are nice and so is the texture of both products. I thought the wash went a long way so you’d get lots of washes out of the bottle. Wasn’t a fan of the smell of either product but the smell disappears pretty quickly. Overall my skin liked it, haven’t seen wrinkles decrease yet but my skin is definitely looking fresher and dewier and it’s a product I’ll keep using.

After using both products for nearly two weeks I have to say the cream cleanser is my favourite. It does what it says it will do cleans and nourish without stripping your skin. The serum I found a little harsh on my skin but once I cut it down to 2-3 times a week it was good and so reduce the darkness under my eyes.

I would recommend this cleanser + moisturiser set to any newbie retinol users, especially those who have sensitive skin! The moisturiser/serum is great as it takes the guesswork out of how much retinol to use and you can use this all over your face and neck! There's no fragrance added so it reduces the chances of irritation or any other side effects. The cleanser I'm a bit unsure of, as I felt a tingling sensation when I applied it to my face and I don't have sensitive skin so I wonder if this is suitable for all skin types. I found this cleanser to be a bit too gentle and it didn't remove much of my makeup so I had to incorporate other cleansers into my routine to fully clean my skin. It didn't leave my skin feeling dry and tight which is nice. I like that the bottles are made of recycled materials and there is no animal testing, making this a more eco-friendly product. Overall I would recommend it to anyone who wants to try retinol products without spending too much money or time investigating which brands to try.

If you're used to retinol then you might not notice a huge difference the cleanser + serum routine will make to your skin. These products are marketed to be gentler, which is great for those new to retinol but does mean it will take longer to see results. While I have yet to see noticeable results, I do like the fact that these products don't contain a lot of nasties that my skin normally reacts to. As these products are comparatively more affordable and can be found at the supermarket, no harm giving it a go!

Great all round cleanser and a retinol cream for nights, but for it to be a complete routine I’d like to see a day cream, specially designed to be used in the mornings after this retinol night cream. High spf and ceramides and peptides to strengthen the skin would be lovely! I just really think this is missing for it to be called a routine. These 2 products are however of great quality, not scented and easy to use, instructions on the retinol cream are clear and easy to follow, packaging designs are best I’ve seen from garnier so far, I hope they keep it up. Price point is still more on the affordable side, although Garnier going cruelty free and more natural we can expect price increases and it’s completely fine in my opinion. Definitely worth a try, I’m glad I could give these products a good go, now I’m just hoping for some long term results for the retinol to kick in and erase my fine lines and wrinkles completely.

I am absolutely in love with the Garnier Green Labs Retinol-Berry Routine!

Seriously my skin has benefited from this trial. I don't think my skin has ever felt and looked this good. I also see it has worked wonders for my forehead wrinkles and eye wrinkles- they are not so visible.

The garnier green labs retinol-berry products is a wonderful way to introduce retinol into your skincare routine. Its very easy to use and beneficial for sensitive skin.

I like that they are using more natural ingredients in their products and making an effort to use more recyclable materials in their packaging to reduce their carbon footprint.

I am more than happy with the results from this routine. I will be using these permanently

These products are both great individually, but together they are wonderful. The bottles are sturdy and the pumps on both work well, and distribute nice small amounts. To me they are definitely not fragrance free - the smell isn't bad, but by the time you have used both, there's a smell! I'm not usually one for a 'set' of products, mainly because I've never found one that works for me, but these really do work best as the set. I used each product without the other, and while they were both good, my skin felt (and looked) better after using both as the routine. My skin looks clear, it feels soft, I've had no blemishes. I think it looks less red (and retinol did make me worry about this) and I'm sure at least a few of my wrinkles aren't as bad! I'd happily recommend this to everyone and I will most definitely buy for myself and keep using.

I have really enjoyed trying these products! The face cream wash is really nice on the skin, I haven't had any issues with dry skin since using these products. The serum cream at night is really good, makes my skin feel real soft when I wake up, and I'm noticing a change in the fine lines. The packaging is really good with great information on how to use them and other tips. Will definitely be buying these products from now on.
