What an exciting range from Garnier!
I have to start by saying I love the brand ethos with this range - it's all about using sustainable, organic ingredients and recycled/recyclable packaging. In today's climate, you almost think...what has taken the big beauty brands so long?
The star ingredient is of course lavandin - which from what I can tell is just another type of lavender. The range definitely smells lavender-y - it's just lovely. Fresh but herby-floral.
I like that they've stepped up/dialed down the fragrance depending on the product - the eye cream in particular has a very muted fragrance, which is great, because I know people are wary about fragranced products near eyes.
The serum is light and non greasy and a really great introduction serum. I think it would be the perfect product for someone just entering the serum-world.
The day cream is quite thick and rich, but again non greasy. It takes a few minutes to absorb, but when layering on top of the serum the effects are wonderful.
The eye cream is simply lovely! Light, and cooling on the eyes. Non irritating. I am in love.
I've been playing with these for maybe 10 days, and I'm really impressed. My skin hasn't suffered any ill-reaction.
From my nosy at Countdown, these each retail for around 20$, which is a fair price, especially for a first step into anti ageing skin care. Together they make an affordable and effective skin care routine.
This was my first time trying Lavender based products and I must say that I was highly impressed. All the products smelt amazing and left my skin looking smooth and feeling softer.
The regime was easy to follow and the products were simple to use.
