Garnier Green Labs Retinol-Berry Serum Cream

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

Absolutely love the cute, good quality bottle of this face cream, very glad it comes with such a good pump, doesn’t feel cheap and tacky at all! I use a few pumps to cover my whole face, neck and eye area every 2-3 days. Sadly I couldn’t work up my way to everyday use, my skin gets a little sensitive to touch on my cheeks when using this cream, like it’s thinner than normal, not sure how to explain it, but it helps when I leave a day or 2 break between uses. It doesn’t have a scent, which is good for more sensitive skin types too. I have very nice and smooth skin now after starting to use this a few nights a week, but I haven’t seen a big difference in fine lines just yet. I think it’s a great, more affordable retinol cream from garnier, to see if retinol would work for a particular skin type or problem, definitely a good start to see if it’d work or not. My bottle will last me ages too since I can’t use this daily, so I’m very glad that no air or germs can contaminate the product because of the great pump bottle design, that is definitely the best I’ve seen from garnier and I think they should use this bottle design more often. Fingers crossed for long term results soon!

I was so excited to use this serum. I am getting more and more fine lines every passing year! The packaging is cute and I love the design of the bottle and I love how easy it is to control how much comes out. It has a nice smell and feels very hydrating when you rub it on. I’m glad there was some good instructions for this first-timer. I used this serum just before bed and I didn’t like how sticky it made my face feel against my pillow. I used it every second day as directed and I feel this was a good introduction to my skin. There wasn’t any over drying - maybe too much hydration for my skin as I woke up with a very oily face. I did notice there was a good improvement with the appearance of fine lines around my eyes and the crows feet significantly less which is exactly what I was hoping for. I have been using this now for two weeks - increasing the frequency of use as directed and sadly I don’t see any more improvements to any other areas. Maybe time to graduate to a stronger product.

Retinol Berry Super Smoothing Serum Cream ' by Garnier

Ok so I've never tried Retinol before and was glad I read some of the tips on the box. I did experience a little light tingling after application but nothing unpleasant..... the benefits outweighed the tingling. Softer, plumper, glowing skin. I think this is a very nice retinol product for first time users, it seems to be less harsh on the skin than I was expecting having read about it. I did notice a little redness under my eyes the first morning but that soon dissapeared.

The consistency is a lovely thin creamy lotion that's easy to apply. I definitely like it's lightweight feel and found it absorbed quickly and completely leaving soft and smooth skin without any greasy mess. With little to no fragrance this is a plus as I'm quite picky about fragrance in skincare. 2 pumps was pleanty for my face and neck, my skin is definitely benefitting from the product.

I was excited to be picked to review this as I haven’t been doing any skincare lately and wanted to get back into it. The “super soothing” branding also appealed as I do have sensitive skin.

I really enjoyed the packaging of this in the glass bottle. It feels quite sophisticated for the affordable brand of Garnier. The pump works well and I really appreciate not having to stick your fingers into the product. Maybe that is the new world we are in and feeling aware of germs more.

The serum cream is very light feeling and lovely on the skin. I did find it quite tacky on the skin rather than completely sinking in. I liked the instructions on the box of using it initially every other night then nightly once your skin has adjusted due to the retinol in the product. I didn’t find my skin reacted to it at all which is good. I haven’t noticed any good effects of it either to be honest - but I am enjoying using it so I will keep at it.

I really like the way it is marketed as three in one (night cream, serum, and eye cream). Usually I would find that annoying that most products you can do that with. But these days when companies are trying to convince you that you need twenty different things I actually appreciate them being honest that you only need this.

Although I haven’t noticed any major changes in my skin I am enjoying using it. I will update if I see any other changes.
