Garnier Green Labs Pinea-C Routine

I love how two products have been able to replace a usual 5 step process.

Firstly I found the gel cleanser is gentle and soft yet provides a great clean feel. It's quite light but lathers nicely and easily on a damp face. Alot of other gel cleansers I've tried have been quite drying so was quite pleased I didn't experience this with Pinea-C Brightening Gel Cleanser.

I also really liked the Pinea-C Brightening Serum Cream, the fact it replaced 3 products in 1 already had me sold - not having to use serum, moisturiser and sunscreen has definitely made the morning routine alot quicker. It had a pleasant pineapple smell and a nice thickness that wasn't too light or too heavy which was refreshing given most products with sunscreen can be heavy/sticky.

I haven't noticed the Brightening benefits yet so hoping with time I might see it. In the meantime these two products are great as a simple everyday routine.

These two garnier products are the bomb! A power house mix.

The cleanser is amazing! Gentle, light weight, makes your face feel smooth. The list goes on! I haven’t noticed a lot of “ glowing” yet but I’m hopeful that the longer I use it, I might see the GLOW.

I wash with the cleanser at night and apply the serum in the morning when I get up.

The Serum is by far my favourite out of the two. It makes my skin feel and smell amazing. I don’t look so “ dull” in the mornings. I apply in the morning as it has spf in it which helps through out the day.

Highly recommend both products! I’m going to buy some of these for my younger teen sister! But really any one would benefit from it.

Together these products are a powerhouse of freshly scented goodness, making you feel energised and your skin does appear brighter! I took some before and after photos and the reduction in redness after just the cleanser let alone the serum as well were definitely noticeable enough to not attribute it to anything else. Separately they work well, together they're a powerhouse.

The serum is spf15, so there is a slight sunscreen scent to it though this is not overpowering in anyway as the pineapple helps cut through that.

Product design is minimal but effective, and both bottles suggest there will be minimal wastage of product which is always a good thing!

I have noticed an increase in pimples that were unexpected but cannot definitively say that is intrinsically linked to the use of these products as there are other factors at play as well.

Overall, a good combo that did what it said it would. Will leave you feeling fresh and ready for the day ahead and does allow for smooth make up application.

This duo would make a good basic routine for people who are getting into skincare or don’t have much time in the mornings.

The gel cleanser does its job well and leaves my skin feeling clean and refreshed but not stripped. It is easy and pleasant to use.

The serum cream combines nourishment, moisture and protection into one product. It’s probably not as powerful as a standalone vitamin C serum but it’s better than nothing. It does offer light SPF to prevent dark spots from forming or getting darker. Leaves my skin feeling soft and looking radiant but not greasy.

These two products both have the same pineapple fragrance that I enjoy but some may find strong.

What I love about this skin care routine is that it is so simple! Cleanse and moisturise, thats it! These two products go really well together. I like how they both have the same fresh smell, so there are no competing fragrances. Used together, they do as they claim and brightened my skin and left it feeling smooth. I haven't used it long enough to see if it helps with evening up my skin tone, but the package sizing is generous, so it will last a while. I love that it includes SPF15 as this is an important part of my daily routine. The only downside was that I did feel my face looked a bit shiny after applying the serum/ moisturiser. Overall, these two products work well and make my morning routine so so easy.

I did notice my skin looked clearer at the end of the trial period and the pineapple scent was more interesting than I am used to using in the shower!

However I found the cleanser to be too drying and the serum left a greazy feel and a chemical scent that lingered for far too long.

I think it's best suited towards people with less sensitive skin and potentially oilier.

Two fresh scented products that promise a lot, and deliver on most of it. The cleanser and the moisturising serum share the same pineapple - lemongrass like scent. Both leave a light lingering scent on the skin which I like.

Both products are a good size, and strike me as being good value for money.

The cleanser is a lot more 'watery' than other cleansers I have used, and you can easily use too much in one go because of the lack of dispenser pump. It promises that it removes makeup and brightens skin. I would still use an oil cleanser first to remove eye makeup and heavier foundation, but this does an adequate job in removing the rest.

The moisturising serum, combined with SPF 15 broad spectrum protection, is a thicker consistency that settles into my skin relatively quickly. This does have a dispenser pump and I find that two pumps effectively covers my entire face and neck. I have seen that it does effectively provide some SPF protection, and has kept my face hydrated each day. If you are looking for a multi-purpose product that saves time and hassle, then this is definitely one to try.

These two Garnier products claim to brighten your skin, effectively cleanse your skin, and be soft a gentle. I found these two products do work well together and it’s great for a basic skincare routine. The pineapple scent in these products is subtle and it is something a little different to what other products are offering. The serum is more beneficial for me as it contains sunblock so it’s likely I will be repurchasing this. I found these products are great for my sensitive skin but overall they aren’t more effective compared to other products similar on the market for sale.

The packaging for both products is simple, functional and cohesive with the products sharing a similar scent that is fruity and a bit overpowering. I used the serum cream daily after rinsing my face with warm water every morning followed by a slathering of SPF. The cream felt light, sunk into the skin beautifully but I can’t say I really noticed a difference to the brightness or texture of my skin, maybe the additional SPF I used may have hindered my results but I wasn’t willing to risk sun damage to find out. The cleanser I used every second night (rotated with my usual Sukin cleansing cream) due to finding every night a bit drying on my skin. I absolutely loved the texture, it felt very lubricating almost like silk on the skin and definitely left me with a lovely glow. I’d probably skip the serum cream, it would be good for someone else who likes things a bit more simple and maybe aren’t as fussed about brightening and texture. The cleanser I think I will repurchase, it’s a supermarket hidden gem that definitely delivers!
