Garnier Green Labs Pinea-C 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.

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.

Since using the Garnier Green Labs Pinea-C Cleanser & Serum daily, I’ve noticed my skin looks healthier and brighter with an outer glow. I find the 2 products work well together and they have made my skin feels hydrating and smooth. I like the SPF content in the serum, it is such a smart idea. The 2 products did not cause any irritation or breakouts on my skin.

This Regime is perfect for someone who is looking for convenience and wants to save time on beauty routines.

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.

I ended up loving this range more than I thought I would - it does what you want a basic skin care routine to do. I think if you have youngish skin, not too dry, not too oily, and are looking for an easy routine, this is perfect.

It leaves skin soft and bright and is lovely to use.

No complaints here....other than the weird name!

Oooh the trickiest review - when you like one product of a routine but not the other!

What I liked: 1. The moisturiser! The bottle felt quality, the product worked well, and it has the added benefit of SPF. 2. The inclusion of pineapple and vitamin C - hadn't tried a product with pineapple before but it has some great vitamins in that alone. Let alone the benefits of vitamin C to the skin! 2. A gel cleanser - check out my review on the cleanser for more detail but I found the gel cleanser didn't leave my skin feeling dry.

What I didn't like: 1. The gel wash - it just didn't do anything for me. Although I was stoked it didn't do anything bad, it just didn't do anything good for my skin (unlike the moisturiser/serum cream which left my skin feeling great) 2. The overpowering fragrance of the gel wash - the serum cream just didn't have this overpowering scent, so I expected the gel wash to not smell quite as strong as it did.

Overall, using the products together didn't make a difference to my skin - but the serum cream alone my skin liked. Would buy the cream again, but not the cleanser.

I was really surprised by this new Garnier range - it was really great to use and didn't feel 'cheap'!

The packaging and branding is lovely, really clean and simple. Both the pump of the cream and the tube of the cleanser are functional and practical.

I tend to look for 'basic' formulas, avoiding fragrance and too many filler ingredients - in spite of the light fragrance I found both of these lovely to use.

I love to use the cleanser in the morning it's revitalising and freshens the skin.

The serum-cream I also use in my morning routine as I don't need the SPF at night obviously.

Both products used together smooth, balance and even out my skin texture and make a good base for makeup.

It's a great duo for someone looking to put an easy skin care routine together.

I really enjoyed using both of these products, they have a great unisex smell, thats not too overpowering. The gel cleanser is one of the best I have used, it was my favourite product of the two. The cleanser made my skin feel so clean without overdrying. The moisturiser and serum cream is such an interesting concept, and I loved using the cream. It made my skin feel so soft, and I normally have a reaction to new moisturisers but this was hentle on my skin. The only thing for me personally, is I prefer a thicker, richer moisturiser for my skin. This would be a great summer moisturiser as it is light and smooth - and helps with pigmentation at the same time!

I love Garnier products as a drugstore brand and this routine definitely does not disappoint. The routine was nice and gentle on my skin and, in the morning, the only other product I added in was a toner, making it a very quick and easy routine to use. My skin was definitely clean and didn’t breakout when switching to test these products. Would highly recommend as a drug store level routine!

I was really excited to trial this duo, I haven’t seen pineapple and vitamin C together before! I love the environmental friendly approach with this range- all the packaging is made from 100% recycled materials! They don’t contain parabens or sulfates as well.

The colour scheme also reflected that- green, white and clear. It looked fresh and clean. Overall the packaging of both products were great- really easy to use and to control the amount of product that came out.

It’s hard for me to comment on how the products worked together as a range, as the serum cream didn’t work for me. My skin type is dry and sensitive, with some dullness and uneven skin tone. The serum cream did not contain enough moisture for my skin and therefore it was dry, especially after cleansing in the evening. Perhaps it would work better on someone who has more combination or oily skin. It was interesting that it was a serum, moisturiser and SPF in one! The cleanser worked better for me on its own, due to the reasons above. It didn’t strip my skin, tighten it or cause any dryness. It worked better with my current skin routine and I liked using it. Both products worked with my sensitive skin, and neither of them caused any irritations at all, no redness or anything! That was great.

Overall, I would continue to use the cleanser but not the serum moisturiser as it didn’t work for my dry skin type. Both products went well with my sensitive skin! Both products claim to brighten, smooth and even out the skin- unfortunately I didn’t notice any obvious change with any of these affects. The cleanser perhaps may cause more brightening over time, I will keep using it to see the affects!
