Garnier Green Labs Retinol-Berry Routine

What a lovely skin regime. This was a great experience and has resulted in me switching night creams. The regime left my skin soft and hydrated and provided a great base for the start of the day make-up. However I found that it did not remove all foundation and mascara even when I used the cleanser twice. So I would recommend a make-up wipe for those trickier and stubborn areas. It was very gentle and kind to my skin though, leaving it feeling soft and smooth. The cream only took a week to start working and I first noticed the smaller lines below my eyes and on my neck. Together this is a wonderful hit of retinol and a great replacement to at least two of my nightly products.

I would recommend this cleanser + moisturiser set to any newbie retinol users, especially those who have sensitive skin! The moisturiser/serum is great as it takes the guesswork out of how much retinol to use and you can use this all over your face and neck! There's no fragrance added so it reduces the chances of irritation or any other side effects. The cleanser I'm a bit unsure of, as I felt a tingling sensation when I applied it to my face and I don't have sensitive skin so I wonder if this is suitable for all skin types. I found this cleanser to be a bit too gentle and it didn't remove much of my makeup so I had to incorporate other cleansers into my routine to fully clean my skin. It didn't leave my skin feeling dry and tight which is nice. I like that the bottles are made of recycled materials and there is no animal testing, making this a more eco-friendly product. Overall I would recommend it to anyone who wants to try retinol products without spending too much money or time investigating which brands to try.

The cleanser was a great texture and easy to do while in the shower it was creamy and lathered well, made my skin feel clean. The cream wasn't heavy like other night creams I have used in the past. It was light feeling and spread around easily, my skin felt smooth and soft.

If you're used to retinol then you might not notice a huge difference the cleanser + serum routine will make to your skin. These products are marketed to be gentler, which is great for those new to retinol but does mean it will take longer to see results. While I have yet to see noticeable results, I do like the fact that these products don't contain a lot of nasties that my skin normally reacts to. As these products are comparatively more affordable and can be found at the supermarket, no harm giving it a go!

Absolutely beautiful products that leave the skin fresh , soft and fine line free. I will be buying the 3 in 1 from now on it was just amazing.

Really loved being a part of this trial :) My skin has been sensitive in the past but as I get older it is seemingly less sensy. I have used retinol before with super sassy 10/10 results! When this was sent out I was excited as heck! Both products retail for a standard supermarket product- less than $20 each. Both are easy pump bottles & have a click stop so no spills if you are shoving the bottles in a bag with other objects that could be ruined from a Garnier ejaculation. Packaging is SUPER ugly, a weird muted highlighter minty green situation that feels cheap to look at but the serum feels a bit more luxe with a glass bottle :) Product itself: Serum = would use again but am confused by it. Cleanser= nope. Does nothing…if you are a makeup wearer, even if it’s a thin coat of mascara, this cleanser will not remove anything. I tried using it as a post- cleanse cleanser (ugh who has time for this?!) but I was left with stingy skin and felt residue aster washing it off multiple times. = no from me.

I enjoyed this routine but it’s not much of a game changer. I enjoyed the fragrances for each product, they’re fresh and enticing so I have enjoyed using them. I also liked the texture of both products and appreciate that neither inflamed my skin or caused any weird reactions or pilling when used in conjunction with my other products. Sadly I do not think I got much in the way of results, the serum didn’t have the short term effects that it promised and the cleanser just did the job of any normal cleanser. I felt that the cleanser didn’t come off entirely if I only rinsed it off and didn’t use a towel, but with a towel it is fine.

A complete night time routine in under 3 mins? Yes please! Prior to starting this, I did not have a night time routine. I could not be bothered with the muck around when all I want to do is crawl into bed. But with this, I could definitely get on board. The main time saver in this routine is the 3 in 1 serum which is a night cream, retinol serum and eye cream in one. So after cleansing, apply the one product and you’re done. The 2 products work very well together, the cleaner is very hydrating and the serum just glides on the skin. In the morning my skin still feels hydrated and smooth. At q cost of between $30-$50 for the set (depending on where you shop) this routine is a steal

These products are both great individually, but together they are wonderful. The bottles are sturdy and the pumps on both work well, and distribute nice small amounts. To me they are definitely not fragrance free - the smell isn't bad, but by the time you have used both, there's a smell! I'm not usually one for a 'set' of products, mainly because I've never found one that works for me, but these really do work best as the set. I used each product without the other, and while they were both good, my skin felt (and looked) better after using both as the routine. My skin looks clear, it feels soft, I've had no blemishes. I think it looks less red (and retinol did make me worry about this) and I'm sure at least a few of my wrinkles aren't as bad! I'd happily recommend this to everyone and I will most definitely buy for myself and keep using.

Impressed by garnier. I started off with the using the cleanser and moisturizer every second day, just to see how my skin would react to the retinol as I already have quite dry and sensitive skin. In saying that I definitely liked using both the products. Easy to use and My skin is left feeling soft and smooth without any stickiness or heavy, coated feeling after using the cleanser or the moisturizer Would recommend to people who are just starting to incorporate retinol into their skin care and they can ease their way into using this everyday. Cannot really say much about this reducing fine lines as I would need to try this for a couple more weeks before seeing any significant effect on my fine lines. Overall both are great products and does what they said they will. Give it a try and see how it goes for your skin type.
