Garnier Green Labs Retinol-Berry Serum Cream

I was skeptical I am not going to lie. In my opinion, there were far superior retinol products on the market. But from the very first use, I was surprised. The serum cream glided over my skin and was immediately absorbed. No oily residue, no shiny surface just smooth soft skin. The fact that the serum cream didn't really have a scent bothered me at first - I usually like my night creams to smell nice - but I was not deterred by this after the first use. My skin started to show improvements after the first use. It was softer and less oily but hydrated and nourished. After a week I started to notice that the finer lines under my eyes were reduced and my overall complexion was improved. I have definitely become converted to Garnier's three-in-one serum night cream.

Absolutely love this product. I am a first time retinol user and have found this so gentle on my skin even though the bottle said i may experience dry areas as a first time user.

Being a mum of 2 young boys i find my previous skin care routine to time consuming however how easy is this 3 in 1 ! Its really life changing.

And what everyone wants to know! YES YES YES my fine lines in my forehead and frown line and crows feet barely exist anymore .

I've tried and not liked a lot of serums but this one is great. It's not oily, it's like a water gel, but one that doesn't ooze everywhere. Like the cleanser, the pump works well. It absorbs into my skin easily and doesn't feel greasy while applying or after, it really just sinks in. This is not fragrance free - it definitely has a smell, more so than the cleanser! It's not horrible though. You only need a couple of small pumps - a little goes a long way. It's impossible to see how much is left though, as the bottle is opaque. This seems to be priced around $20 so it's very good value compared to other products. I like the fact its a 3 in one so no more faffing with small tubes of eye cream. I often find eye creams hurt if you get them in your eye, but this doesn't. I'm not sure if I'm imagining it, but I think my crows feet are less visible. It leaves me skin feeling soft and moisturised - even the next morning. I always worry about blemishes when using new products, but I've had none with this. I've pretty much told everyone I know how awesome this is.

I love the luxurious glass bottle with pump dispenser of the retinol-berry serum cream. It makes dispensing the right amount of product simple without the waste! I did think however that the box this bottle came in was a bit excessive. I am not sure if it was designed that way to make the product appear larger when purchasing, or in order to fit all of the information attractively on the packaging, but ultimately it actually made me feel a little duped that the product was so much smaller than the box portrayed. That would however be my only negative.

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

I started using this serum when my skin was at its worst, with breakouts, redness and dryness. The product was not only super gentle on my skin, combined with the retinol-berry cleanser, it noticeably soothed it within a very short period of time.

Combined with the retinol-berry cleanser, I will definitely continue to use this serum! One product to replace three is a win with saving time and money!

Retinol Berry Super Smoothing Serum Cream ' by Garnier

Ok so I've never tried Retinol before and was glad I read some of the tips on the box. I did experience a little light tingling after application but nothing unpleasant..... the benefits outweighed the tingling. Softer, plumper, glowing skin. I think this is a very nice retinol product for first time users, it seems to be less harsh on the skin than I was expecting having read about it. I did notice a little redness under my eyes the first morning but that soon dissapeared.

The consistency is a lovely thin creamy lotion that's easy to apply. I definitely like it's lightweight feel and found it absorbed quickly and completely leaving soft and smooth skin without any greasy mess. With little to no fragrance this is a plus as I'm quite picky about fragrance in skincare. 2 pumps was pleanty for my face and neck, my skin is definitely benefitting from the product.

Any product which can do 3 things in 1 and make it easy for me instead of having to use 3 different bottles out and then guess what I’ve applied where (so maybe I leave out or double up on some areas) is a plus. Also did it work - yes I think I’ve seen an improvement in my skin so this is a product I’ll keep using. If there’s a downside it’s that I didn’t particularly like the smell but that could be that I don’t like all the conflicting face wash, body wash, moisturiser smells so I’d prefer not to add scent to my face. My skin definitely felt moisturised after using and it didn’t feel too heavy around my eyes. I’ve asked my 12yo if she thinks my skin is glowing more (and we all know how savage 12 yo girls can be) and she thought it did so - win!

Arriving with a light mint colour, this serum packs a punch in attractive streamline slim bottle, with a generous amount of product. The plunger pump top design makes it easy to dispense the required amount with little chance of a clogged up tip. The bottle is certainly reusable in line with the policy of sustainable product packaging. Taking the advice on the bottle I cleansed first then applied on alternative days, because I have sensitive skin I then moved to every third day until my skin got used to the product, initially I felt a little dried out, and the need for reaching for strong moisturising sunscreen became the normal, with a slight tingle by the second week I was well involved and already showing a improvement on my fine lines crows feet and random lip lines. The serum replaced my other serum and eye cream overnight saving not only time but money also. The redness in my face was starting to even out by the end of this week, and I can see a difference in it already. It is non greasy, lightweight and not a horrible after feel, although it says no fragrance there is a slight smell from the ingredients which is not offensive and in fact very pleasant. overall i am very pleased with this product.

This is such a fabulous multitasking product! Its fantastic that this product is a night cream, a retinol serum and a eye cream in one easy to use product! I'm a busy mum and I don't have much time to spare, this product is time saving and smart which is amazing for someone like me.

When I hear the word serum, I always automatically assume that my face is going to be an oily mess, this is defiantly not the case with this product.

I am brand new to using retinol. This is a great way to introduce it into my skincare routine. I have had no bad reaction to this product, no redness or dryness. I did experience a tingling sensation when I first used it but I am aware that can happen when using retinol for the first time. It has settled down now and I dont have any issues when using it.

I absolutely am In love with this serum cream. I love how there is some natural ingredients in here. It leaves my skin feeling soft and nourished.

I will be repurchasing this, I feel that it has become a permanent product in my night time skin care routine.

I really liked the green, fresh look packaging of this product. Also very impressed that all Garnier products are approved by cruelty free international. This amazing product offers multiple benefits of a night cream, a retinol serum, and an eye cream all combined in one. I’m a first time retinol user so was bit sceptical however aside from a mild sting I haven’t experienced any side effects effects. I apply the cream to cleansed and towel dried face. It just glides over skin easily and smoothly without any stickiness or residual sheen. Skin feels moisturised and has healthy youthful glow after two weeks of continued use.

I try a lot of skincare products, but this one really stood out for me! I absolutely loved the texture – it was rich and silky, and I loved that it wasn’t runny at all.

I followed the instructions on the packaging and just 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 instructions suggest 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. It really was hydrating enough to not need any other products so by week 2, my night routine was nice and quick and I could put some products away in the drawer! I had no trouble/irritation applying it under my eyes, and it had a nice cooling effect on that area.

I will definitely re-purchase this product. It leaves my skin feeling hydrated without feeling sticky or oily, and it feels like it’s fighting fine lines and the beginning of wrinkles without damaging my skin. Very impressed!
