Genuinely impressed

I was genuinely impressed by this moisturiser.

Again, super glad that Garnier is cruelty free. That is a deal breaker for me.

I’m also really happy that this product has SPF. I’ve been finding it hard to find a good SPF daily moisturiser. I’d kind of resigned to the fact that I might just need to apply moisturiser separately, but not with this product!

The packaging is my preferred packaging for moisturiser. It’s a little pump bottle, so you can easily get product out while keeping the packaging clean. Two pumps of product was perfect for my face.

The product itself is good. It feels a bit more ‘silky’ than other moisturisers I’ve tried, which I guess is where the serum aspect comes in. The moisturiser is lightweight, and it didn’t make my skin greasy. It also works well beneath makeup. It didn’t make my makeup slide around or separate or anything like that.

I would have to agree that it made my skin more bright and glowing which I’m really stoked with. I will continue use this product and would definitely consider buying again. I think this retails for around $20, which is really good value for money.

Great for everyday use

I love this and will 100% be repurchasing once I have finished this bottle.

I love how it soaks into my skin and leaves it glowing and healthy looking! Great under make up or by its self. Really love how it has spf in it. As a pale human this a must.

I have been super sick and still people have been commenting on how good my skin looks.

Tips: Buy it! You won't regret it!

Not too bad

I don't care for the pale green colour of the bottle if I'm honest and it looks a bit cheap in my opinion BUT the bottle is made from 100% recycled material! I like the twist lock on the top of the pump and one pump is enough for me to cover my whole face. I like how the packaging tells you how it is environmentally conscious and shows the true size of the product bottle inside. It states it doesn't leave a white cast which is true and it says it has SPF15 but I wouldn't use this in summer as a sun protection as it is only a light protection factor, not enough to protect against our NZ sun..for winter use I guess it's okay. The smell is nice and fresh and one of my favourite things about this product. I'm very wary of using 'brightening' products on my eyebrows as I have them tattooed on and don't want them to fade quickly so I made sure not to get it on my eyebrows just in case. I don't think a week is long enough to see any difference in "brightness" unfortunately. I used it under make up which worked well but plain on my face (when I didn't wear make up) I felt I was slightly greasy/shiny so it definitely adds moisture as it stated but for my skin type added moisture is not necessary. It made my skin feel soft and there was no sticky residue so I've found pros and cons in this product but I don't think it's the right product for me and my skin type.

Feels more like a moisturiser than a serum

I have been using this products for Just under a week now, in conjunction with the cleanser in this range. overall it has been really nice to use, but more as a general moisturiser. after only a week I have not noticed any change to my skin. My skin does appear to be brighter or less dull. So I will need to continue to this product to see if I can see long term results.

My skin: I have combination oily skin, with redness and acne scars that I would like to brighten and reduce the appearance of. I was excited to try this product as is contains vitamin c which is good for brightening pigmentation.

Serum: the texture of the serum was light and absorbed quickly into your skin. I usually use a separate serum (or oil) followed by a moistures and SPF, and I found this serum gave my skin enough hydration. Ir felt more like a moisturiser though than a serum. It absorbed quickly and I had no issues with applying makeup on top of it. The packaging is nice and the pump is easy to use. I like how you can can lock the pump too. However, I have not seen any difference to the appearance of my skin as it’s too early to get results. But as a general face product and moisturiser I think it’s really good, so I hope to see some results soon.

I really like that this product is affordable and it’s also vegan!

I will continue to use this product to see if my skin brightens over time

Pinea-C Serum Cream

I am such a fan of this garnier green labs pinea-C serum cream. It is SPF15 so i put it on in the morning before i go out for the day, so i know i'm protected from the sun. My face always feels smooth after. It has a pleasant smell. i have sensitive skin and it works well! Would highly recommend to anyone.

Tips: only need one small pump! watch out it comes out fast

Garnier Green Labs Pinea-C Serum Cream

First up - what gives with the name Garnier? At first I thought 'ooo Pinea-C' it must be a new type of vitamin c, like when all of those Lypo-C supplements came on the market a few years ago. So I was pronouncing it 'pin-ya-c'. Then I realised the Pinea was the first part of 'pineapple' and now I don't know what the intention with the name is. Pine-a-c? Pin-ee-aa-c? Is there an intentional pun I'm missing?! And so I repeat...what gives Garnier?!

I love the packaging - Garnier have nailed it with the Green Labs range, it's cute, it's neutral, it screams mature-young-adult. I really appreciate it.

The pump bottle is sturdy and secure and dispenses a good amount of product.

I love the texture of this cream, I thought it might be a bit oily, but it's more like a lotion, its very easy to rub in and non-greasy to the touch.

It does what you'd want a daily lotion to do, it moisturises, gets rid of dry patches and leaves skin looking fresh. I was worried the SPF would leave my skin a bit shiny, but it doesnt

I ended up loving this a lot more than I thought I would.

Interesting Product!

Multitasking products kind of set themselves up to fail I think - running the risk of being a Jack of All Trades, Master of None.

The Garnier 3-in-1 serum-cream was actually a pleasant surprise, especially as a serum/cream. It definitely does the job of both products really well. This is a brightening formula and skin definitely has a dewy radiance after use.

It's really light and easily absorbed - it does leave skin instantly smooth and hydrated. It's hard to stop touching it, it be soooo soft!

As an SPF I question it a little - SPF 15 is ok for an NZ winter, maybe, but I think it's a stretch to imply it's a 3-in-1 product, ie this will meet all of your sunscreen needs. It won't.

This is a great product for those who can't be bothered with a lengthy skincare routine and especially those just starting out in the skincare world.

Would I use it again? Yeap as a hydrator - not as a sunscreen.

MY GO TO EVERYDAY

Thanks for letting me trial this product! I am quite surprised by how much I actually like this serum. It is a wonderful all in one serum to use in the morning when I usually do not have much time.

I have been using it daily in the last 2 weeks or so after washing my face. What makes this product special is the SPF15 content. It’s autumn now and going into winter we still need a bit of that protection.

The serum is white, but it blends and absorbs into my skin quickly without leaving residue on the skin. It has a hint of fresh pineapple smell which is quite lovely as I love pineapple. The serum does not make my skin look greasy and it does not feel greasy at all despite the SPF content. The texture is just right. One good pump is enough to cover my entire face. I am currently pregnant, and I believe this serum just makes my skin glow. My skin looks more energised and fresher. I haven’t experienced any breakout during the time I have been using this product.

This product is part of my skin care routine and I absolutely love it. It’s so handy as it has SPF15 sunscreen in it. Overall, great product, innovative initiative!

Refreshing

I was pleasantly surprised by this serum. I love the simplicity of the packaging but I love that the serum is so full of goodness and is multi purpose. This is a brightening serum that also provides 24 hour moisture as well as containing SPF15. This serum is also vegan which is a big must for me, and the packaging gives great insight into the steps the company is making to be eco friendly. The product itself smells lovely, it has a nice fruity/citrus smell that's not over powering and does fade after about half an hour. It's a lovely light creamy texture that is easy to apply, I would recommend using a very small amount to begin with as it is so easy to apply I was continually putting too much product on my face, that's not exactly a bad thing as my skin is as dry as the Sahara, but it is definitely wasteful. After applying this the first time, my skin was immediately softer to the touch and felt energized and refreshed. It definitely helped me wake up for the day as well. My skin was still refreshed and soft after 24 hours as well so those claims are certainly correct. I have to say I didn't notice any brightening to my skin but I have only been using it for not quite a week so I'm hopeful I will notice a change shortly, the packaging does say that skin tone appears brighter within a week. I will say that even though this product does contain SPF, I still applied extra SPF over top as unfortunately SPF 15 just isn't enough to protect against New Zealands rays but I think it's a great idea that they have incorporated it so if you're in a hurry you can have a little bit of protection against the UV.

Tips: Apply a small amount to begin with as it does spread and absorb very easily. Always wear sunscreen even if you aren't going anywhere so add an extra layer of sunscreen on top.
