Garnier Green Labs Retinol-Berry Routine

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

I've used Cream Cleansers for years and tried high end Retinol products in the past, so super keen to try this Garnier Green Labs duo of Super Berry and Retinol. With Claims including nourished and comforted skin, reduction in fine lines, and reduced dark circles, suitably tested for all skin types including sensitive.

The packaging for both products is green and white in colour with Garnier's typical informational style, with a green colour cream cleanser. Both are pump bottles, making use nice and easy. The Fragrance-Free Serum Cream's key ingredients are Retinol, and Superberry Acai and Schisandra extracts, while the Cream Cleanser is Amino & Super Berry.

With both products, a small amount was all that was needed. Both have lovely, silky textures. The cleanser works super well without drying skin, and does indeed leave it feeling more nourished, with a lovely base for applying the Serum Cream, which absorbs well without any stickiness, and feels lovely and cool. As an eye cream, it doesn't feel too rich at all. I loved that I didn't have to use an additional serum or eye cream. I didn't experience any tingling or redness as Retinol can do. After 2 weeks, my skin feels more nourished, comfortable, and a little patch of dry, flakiness has disappeared. I haven't noticed any reduction in fine lines, however under-eye appears smoother. Skin is nicely hydrated. As a duo, my skin feels and looks more comfortable and nourished, they are both lovely to use.

I have fine lines and I am beginning to get wrinkles, so I am starting to look out for products that have active ingredients like retinol while still being gentle.

I felt like this routine was a great way to introduce retinol into my skincare, and I enjoyed using both products. If I didn’t know they were affordable Garnier products, I would not have guessed! They felt very high end and the serum moisturiser might be the nicest serum I’ve ever used. Both products had a lovely texture, and I found both gentle and hydrating on the skin.

The only (minor) issue I had with the cleanser is that it doesn’t foam, so when I first started using it I felt like I wasn’t getting as much of a thorough cleanse as I am used to. I also wasn’t sure if I was getting all of the cleanser off once I was done. Due to this, on non-make up days/mornings I would use toner and a cotton bud after cleansing and on make up days I would double cleanse and then use toner. Because the cleanser is so gentle, my skin wasn’t left feeling dried out after doing this.

I like that the cleanser bottle is semi clear so that you can see how much you have. I found 3 pumps was a good amount, and I think it is a great price for the amount of product that you get.

I followed the instructions and used the serum moisturiser every second night for the first week – I had absolutely no irritation and my skin felt hydrated after each use. By week two I was using it every night and still no irritation which was awesome.

The packaging says 2 – 3 pumps – the first few nights I was using 3 and it did all soak in, however it was a bit excessive and 2 pumps is actually plenty.

It is awesome that this product replaces my normal night moisturiser, eye cream and serum. I love that by week two, my night routine was nice and quick and I could put some products away in the drawer! It was definitely gentle enough to use on my undereye area as well.

I can’t say that I noticed huge change to the overall look of my skin or its texture, but it certainly left it looking and feeling hydrated. I am sure both products are great for prevention as well as cure when it comes to wrinkles and fine lines. I definitely don’t have more fine lines, and my skin is looking pretty plump.

Neither product made me break out at all either, which I was pleasantly surprised about (got to love fighting fine lines and acne at the same time right…).

I would definitely purchase both products again. They are a great price and are products that make me look forward to going through my skincare routine. I think this would be a great routine to try if you are just getting into anti-aging skincare like I am.

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.

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.

I like that both the cleanser and serum come with pumps as it ensures you get enough product without wasting any.

While the cleanser does not lather a great deal, it provides good coverage of the face without needing to use excess product, and did a good job of clearing away the days makeup.

Two to three pumps of the serum was enough to provide enough product for good coverage of the face and neck. There is little to no odour with either product which made for a pleasant experience.

I started using this cleanser and serum when my skin was at its worst, with breakouts, redness and dryness. They were not only super gentle on my skin, they also noticeably soothed it within a very short period of time.

I will definitely continue to use this regime as I have already seen such great improvements in my skin.

My feelings about the Garnier Amino-Berry cleanser and Retinol Berry Serum Cream combo.

This was a very pleasant easy nighttime routine. The cleanser rinsed off easily and the serum super eady to apply. My skin is pretty good but aging has left it a bit dull and I do have fine lines around the mouth and a few fine crows feet..... I can't say they have disappeared but my skin texture and appearance has definitely improved. My skin looks plumper and for me having hated cleansers because they left my skin feeling tight this one definitely didn't. I will definitely continue to use both products. As far as value for money it's so good an inexpensive product that delivers.

If I have one dissapointment I personally feel the packaging let's the product down. Too me the product is far better quality than the packaging suggests, too me it looks more like a pharmacy medication than a beauty product.

Trialling both these products side by side was great, they complement each other, look pleasing on a shelf, and their packaging is reusable in other aspects around the house. as a routine cleansing first then using the serum was very easy, the instructions are written clearly, packaging is easy to read, and follow. It saved me more time, not having to apply every different product, in my usual routine and cut my time down by half. Besides the fact i really needed to use sunscreen every day to protect my skin, and a good moisturiser to support the programme, it wasn't that bad and made me more aware of UV damage.

I am absolutely in love with the Garnier Green Labs Retinol-Berry Routine!

Seriously my skin has benefited from this trial. I don't think my skin has ever felt and looked this good. I also see it has worked wonders for my forehead wrinkles and eye wrinkles- they are not so visible.

The garnier green labs retinol-berry products is a wonderful way to introduce retinol into your skincare routine. Its very easy to use and beneficial for sensitive skin.

I like that they are using more natural ingredients in their products and making an effort to use more recyclable materials in their packaging to reduce their carbon footprint.

I am more than happy with the results from this routine. I will be using these permanently
