Garnier Green Labs Retinol-Berry Serum Cream

I love the luxurious glass bottle with pump dispenser of the retinol-berry serum cream. It makes dispensing the right amount of product simple without the waste! I did think however that the box this bottle came in was a bit excessive. I am not sure if it was designed that way to make the product appear larger when purchasing, or in order to fit all of the information attractively on the packaging, but ultimately it actually made me feel a little duped that the product was so much smaller than the box portrayed. That would however be my only negative.

Two to three pumps was enough to provide enough product for good coverage of the face and neck. There is little to no odour which makes for a pleasant experience.

I started using this serum when my skin was at its worst, with breakouts, redness and dryness. The product was not only super gentle on my skin, combined with the retinol-berry cleanser, it noticeably soothed it within a very short period of time.

Combined with the retinol-berry cleanser, I will definitely continue to use this serum! One product to replace three is a win with saving time and money!

This is a good size bottle with pump. It's a nice consistency and easy to apply. I like the convenience of being a serum, moisturiser and eye cream in 1. Don't need to use much for the face. When I started to use this, my skin tingles. I saw on the bottle this happens when new to retinol. I had to ensure I used suncream everyday. While I like how my skin felt after applying, I did notice my skin was feeling drier than normal in the mornings.

Loved this product! I have been trialing this every night and I'm really enjoying it. Great packaging. Very good information, and easy to understand. The bottle with the pump is good, easy to use. Its great that you only need to use one night product that does it all. I used a couple of pumps , it feels a bit wet going on, but within a few seconds, its absorbed in and feels nice and soft. It doesn't have any fragrance. My skin is definitely feeling more softer and radiant! Starting to notice a little difference in my fine lines around my eyes.

Having used higher end Retinol products in the past, I was super keen to see how the Garnier Green Labs more affordable option would stack up. Claims are visibly reduced fine ines starting in just 1 week, nourishes & comforts skin overnight, and visibly reduce dark circles in 1 week, for all skin types.

The packaging is light green and white in colour with Garnier's typical informational style, with a green colour, decent sized 50ml glass pump bottle, with no lid, making it easy to deal with at the end of the day. This Fragrance-Free Cream's key ingredients are Retinol, and Superberry Acai and Schisandra extracts It claims to reduce fine lines and dark circles, make skin appear smooth and radiant.

After cleaning with the matching cleanser, I found a small amount was all that was needed. It's a very silky texture, and absorbs well. I never experienced any tingling or redness as some retinol products can do. After 2 weeks, the texture of my skin, which was a bit flakey-dry, feels more even, and the test was when I wore foundation for the first time in over a year, there was no dragging appearance of pores. I haven't noticed any reduction in fine lines in the short time I've used it, however under-eye area appears more radiant, less dull. Skin is nicely hydrated, and it felt richer than a normal night cream. My dark circles are still visible, but that's more a reflection of insomnia than the cream. I will happy continue using this.

I was excited to try out this 3 in 1 serum, cream & eye cream. The consistency is more of a thin lotion and I found it very easy to apply and spread over my skin. Product is very lightweight and absorbs quickly and fully into the skin. I feel this is a good product for someone to introduce retinol in their skin care. Personally I’ll stick to my usual eye cream as I found this to irritate my eyes but ever so slightly and I so have extremely sensitive skin around my eyes so that could be a good reason for that. There was very mild tingling which is what you would expect from products that has retinol. In terms of reducing fine lines, I don’t think I can really say much about this as 2 weeks of usage is not enough time to make a fair judgment on that. A couple of more weeks of usage wil be needs to say anything about reducing fine lines. Overall an alright product and good way to start using retinol if just staring out.

Really wasn’t sure what to expect with this product with it being a 3 in 1 but I was pleasantly surprised. I thought it might have been really heavy feeling on the skin with it being a moisturiser AND a night cream but it really wasn’t, it was super lightweight and absorbed into my skin really quickly. I definitely woke up with a brighter complexion. I went a little too hard at the beginning (not following instructions and skipping the ‘every other night’ advice on the box) so will definitely be trialling it a little longer to see if it smooths out my fine lines. At this stage, of 10 days use I would say that I have noticed a whole lot of difference just yet. I did find that it left a slight sticky residue on my face (and hands after applying) but nothing I couldn’t live with. From the packaging you can see that Garnier have stated that they will be taking a commitment towards greener beauty which is a big tick from me. The packaging is simple yet eye catching and really informative. I really liked that the bottle was glass and can hopefully be recycled.

I've tried and not liked a lot of serums but this one is great. It's not oily, it's like a water gel, but one that doesn't ooze everywhere. Like the cleanser, the pump works well. It absorbs into my skin easily and doesn't feel greasy while applying or after, it really just sinks in. This is not fragrance free - it definitely has a smell, more so than the cleanser! It's not horrible though. You only need a couple of small pumps - a little goes a long way. It's impossible to see how much is left though, as the bottle is opaque. This seems to be priced around $20 so it's very good value compared to other products. I like the fact its a 3 in one so no more faffing with small tubes of eye cream. I often find eye creams hurt if you get them in your eye, but this doesn't. I'm not sure if I'm imagining it, but I think my crows feet are less visible. It leaves me skin feeling soft and moisturised - even the next morning. I always worry about blemishes when using new products, but I've had none with this. I've pretty much told everyone I know how awesome this is.

This cream was so light and soft, applied straight after my shower where I had used the cleanser, the cream was easy to apply and I didn't need to use heaps, I could still feel how soft my skin felt the next morning. The was one thing I didn't like and it felt like there was a sticky layer on my fingers after applying it. But did make my skin feel amazing.

My first time using a retinol serum, and what better place to start than a 3 in 1! I started out using it every second day as the directions recommended. It comes in a lovely glass pump bottle giving it a nice hefty feel with the ease of easy dispensing. Just 2 small pumps was enough for my face and neck, it smooths on the skin easily without being too oily which is a concern for me with some serums. It is fragrance free which I love, no concerns about that causing irritation. After approx. 3 applications I did experience some sensitivity on my nose and a little peeling of the skin, but with a gently scrub this was no longer an issue. After a week and half, my skin is feeling more hydrated and perhaps a little firmer. I would expect to see more results after a longer period of use, but a really promising start! Price is very affordable for a 3 in 1 serum, this can vary buy about $10 between retailers, so shop around!

After using the berry cleanser - this was fun to use! It is apparently a 3 in 1 product (who knows if that’s legit) boasting to be an all over serum, eye and night+ retinol cream all in one product. Here’s the catch: I cannot, for the life of me, figure out how much retinol is in this product. It is probably super important to include this detail due to the impact retinol can have on skin appearance if not gradually built up! Could potentially mean less sales for this product. It claims to be great for first time retinol users so I’m guessing the content is minimal? Garnier also boasts to see decrease in fine lines, eye bags etc over 1 week. Ya girl is over here still holding her gucci bags and sporting fine lines. I have been watching them meticulously due to this claim! Either way… I’d buy this product again but it’s not a life or death holy grail discovery. It really seems like just another brand is jumping on the retinol/ hyaluronic skincare bandwagon due to the cultural shift towards skin over makeup.
