3 in 1 convenient reduces the routine

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.

Tips: Ensure you apply suncream daily due to retinol

Garnier Green Labs Retinol-Berry Serum Cream

I must admit I was quite wary of trying this product as I have super sensitive skin that reacts to any active ingredients. The first night I tried this, I used a tiny amount, and the following day, my eyelids swelled up, as I expected. However, it only lasted a day, and then my skin calmed down.

On the box, it recommends using every other night in the first week to give your skin an opportunity to adjust to the retinol. Then by the second week, your skin will have adjusted. As my skin is so sensitive, I stuck with using it every other night for the duration of the trial and didn't have any further reactions.

Did I notice any major changes to my skin? No, not really. My skin didn't feel so dry, but I didn't notice any visible reduction in my fine lines or dark circles.

I will keep using up the cream, and I hope to see some more visible changes in my skin over time. As I was only using it every second night it may need some extra time to take effect. However, I am not sure yet if I will buy more when I have run out.

Tips: Always wear sunscreen when using this product even if you are just outside for a short period of time. Otherwise, your skin will feel hot, tingling and uncomfortable.

Time saver with results

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!

Tips: If you haven't used a retinol serum before, definitely follow the directions and start with every second day for the first week. And remember your sunscreen!

Garnier Green Labs

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.

Tips: Little goes a long way.

Garnier Green Labs Retinol-Berry Serum Cream.

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.

Tips: Go try it :)

Great retinol price point from garnier

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!

3in1

I loved this serum because every night I use moisturizer, serum and eye cream but now it just two pumps and I am done. This is my second week of using this but so far, my face is looking better, younger... But definitely will keep using it now every night so get the best out of it.

Interesting..

This is a very interesting product and one I may have passed by if I'd seen it in the shops. I like Garnier but not more than other brands. But I do love serums, and when I saw this in the vault I was keen to give it a try.

The packaging is quite plain, which is fine by me. The bottle matches the box and is a pump top 50 ml bottle. The product is a thick white lotion, and has no fragrance.

As per the instructions, I have been applying it after cleansing twice per day. I spread it everywhere over my face and neck. I haven't experienced any of the possible side effects of dryness, tingliness or flakiness. My skin feels a little tighter and looks smoother. I hope it looks more radiant but I can't say it's too obvious if it does. But it is looking good so I'm happy with that. It is great to use one product for a night cream, serum and eye cream. It isn't the best serum I've used but it is very good.

It is great that is has no parabens, mineral oil, or dyes, and is cruelty free.

I recommend giving it a try. On Brands it is $27.99 which is a good price for a good serum.

Tips: Use as directed and take note of the precautions.

I was Not Expecting such a nice outcome to be honest.. it is definitely a Game Changer. I love the fact that it is plant and fruit derived. Decent packaging and clean ingredients made me reach for it even more. Has a nice & light texture. Very Gentle formula. my skin is glowing and I think I am hooked ❤

Garner Retinol Serum Cream 3 in 1

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.

Tips: Retinol products mean wear sunscreen. Also don't apply under eye if you've been crying, it stings.
