I truly believe that these 3 products need to be used together to get the full effect of healthier looking skin. I don't usually come to this conclusion and use different brands for each step of my skincare routine. The cleanser is light on the skin and doesn't dry it at all. My skin feels clear and refreshed after use. I use the toner straight after with a cotton pad and my face starts to firm and slightly dry out. I leave it on for about 5 minutes before applying the moisturiser finally. The moisturiser is light and runny which absorbs quickly into the skin to keep it looking toned and firm. The way each product syncs with each other is awesome and is necessary for any skin routine. I have sensitive skin that dries out after cleansing but this didn't do that and felt great. I suspect this is because of the plant-based properties.

Reviews
So I used each product twice a day for one week, dropping the toner to once a day after 4 days. Together they are a great set, the scent is nice and consistent, the products compliment each other well and you only have to use a small amount of product each use. However, I did start to feel my pores clogging up about 3 days into using the trio but a salt scrub and pore mask fixed this. It also made my acne flare up quite bad which was a major downside because I was really enjoying how refreshing and healthy the trio made my face feel and look. I think the hot weather may have also affected this so I will definitely re-try this trio in the colder months and I feel the results will be a lot better then. - The Detox gel wash was fantastic. Super cleansing and refreshing. I would have loved to try the Konjac sponge with the product to compare the deep cleaning to the regular cleaning. The gel on it's own is cleansing enough though. Super gentle on skin too. I have nothing negative to say about it. - The toner didn't mattify as claimed but it did brighten and refine my skin which made my skin look plump and healthy. It also made my acne and scaring more prominent. - The moisturiser was very hydrating, dries fast and lasts all day. This has been the most hydrating moisturizer I've ever had. It did make my oily sections really oily despite claiming to balance oily zones which made my acne flare up really badly. I will definitely use this trio again.
Tips: Don't use too much product, I found that 1 pump for the face gel, 3 drops of the toner and a pea sized amount of moisturizer was more than enough for a good coverage.
This product line up is really different to anything I have tried before - there are no heavy floral scents or thick product, all of the products are super light and refreshing.
My reaction on my first use of all of the products was that they could be used in a spa line up - they're that silky and beautifully scented!
The three products together work harmoniously with menthol running throughout them all, giving the skin a very clean feeling. Each product is light and silky and you don't need to use a lot of them to get some good benefits out of them.
My skin has been very clear and soft since using this range. I do think that the toner could be a spray bottle not one that requires cotton pads (so it's a little more eco-friendly), and the moisturiser, whilst it is a very gentle and silky product, could do a little more actual moisturising.
Overall I have loved the range and am enjoying them every day!
Tips: Enjoy the smells!
These 3 products look great together, there design is simple yet effective.
I love that they are organic and vegan. This is something I am becoming more aware of when purchasing products. It's nice that it isnt a huge list of ingredients and you dont know what most of that list is. It just makes you feel better about using it on your skin, especially your face.
Overall the products work well together. They are all very light and a little product goes a long way so should be very cost effective. They don't leave a heavy feeling or a residue like some skincare products do. Leaves your skin feeling clean and fresh.
My favourite out of the 3 was the toner as it ensured a deep clean. Plus it didnt dry the skin out which is a win.
I wouldn't say there were many things that needed improvement. But the biggest for me personally was the smell! Boy is it overwhelming. It is a fresh smell but just not one I like. It was all I could smell for ages when using all 3 before bed. This is a personal negative as you may love the smell so I wouldn't not use the product just because of this comment. But I would smell it before purchasing to ensure you like the smell.
I would love to try others in the garnier organics range. I like how there are different types for different needs. Hopefully there will be a smell I like better as products did a good job. I am open to changing products from my routine so that says a lot.
I absolutely loved how each of the products looked in the packaging, the consistency of each product and how simplistic they were to use. I fail to see how this three step process could have been made any simpler.
I kept the gel in my shower to use as part of my showering routine and then it took a maximum of two minutes to quickly wipe over the toner and follow up with the moisturizer as well. The products are very cost effective and as they spread well they will last a considerable amount of time. I noticed strong changes within my skin as I was using them so I have no doubts that it would be very effective especially with continued use.
My only issues were that I have a drier skin type so I did not enjoy how it felt after I had used the products. I felt very dehydrated and there was a drag as well as tightness within the skin. The scent was also quite overpowering but when my nose adjusted I did not continue to notice it any more, my partner could detect the smell for a longer period than I could. My skin was more refined but the over tightness it what puts me off using this product in the future.
This product line I feel comfortable recommending to those who have a oilier skin type as their skin will get the most benefits without the tight side effect that I had.
Tips: Avoid the eye areas
I had the pleasure of receiving the lemongrass/thyme products to review and what a pleasure it has been. All three of the products smell just amazing and it makes my night time skincare regime so relaxing. All three products worked very well together and I think would be perfect for someone with oily skin who wants some help to mattify and balance oils. You can use the range sparingly as with all three products a small amount goes such a long way. My favourite product of the range was definitely the thyme toner, not overly drying and it was definitely my favourite scent of the lot. I would happily purchase this range again, I think it is excellent value for money and mostly does what it says.
Thanks BR for the opportunity to trial this range. I love love love this range! For me it is a lot like the Neutrogena Naturals range that I used to use, but way better. Every product in this range is vegan, has mainly natural ingredients and contains essential oils. And most importantly they smell absolutely amazing and have had positive results for my skin!
The face wash is a lemongrass detox gel wash for normal to combination skin. The lemongrass smells amazing, and the gel consistency foams slightly when used. A little goes a long way so the bottle will last a long time. The bottle is clear which is great because it’s so much easier to know when you are about to run out, and has a pump top, for super easy use. After using, my skin feels really clean but not dried out. Definitely my new favourite face wash.
The thyme toner contains salicylic acid and is for combination to oily skin. I have definitely seen an improvement to my skin since using this product. Despite the weather still being quite hot, my skin has been shine and oil free all day. While I still have a few blackheads, I have not had any other pimples. This toner smells great and is refreshing on the skin. The only thing I don’t love about it is the packaging, because I can never be bothered using a cotton pad to apply it, however I fixed this myself by just changing the flip top for a mist spray top, so I can just spray it on.
The thyme moisturiser is a gel cream that smells great and once absorbed doesn’t feel greasy on the skin. While I really like this moisturiser, I will have to swap to another product over winter because I don’t think it will cut it when my skin dries out from the cold weather. It is definitely great when you are trying to avoid oily skin and pimples though.
All the products in this range smell amazing and do exactly what they say they will. I will definitely be buying these products again when I run out. Highly recommend!
Tips: A little goes a long way for the face wash and moisturiser
While I didn't find the smells or consistencies of these products to be 100% spot on (some smelled a little medicine-like, and a couple of the products were a little runny), I did find them to be very effective as a regimen. They were easy on my skin and always left me feeling fresh. I noticed that my oily zones looked more balanced, and my pores looked tighter. The fresh, vegan ingredients are also a bonus, as you know that you're treating your skin to only the best. Overall, I enjoyed using these products and the results that they gave me!
I was so excited to try these products- as they’re all vegan/natural-based products and suitable for sensitive skin which is right up my alley!!! I like the packaging colour scheme- the green and white combo is nice. Simple but I really liked it. I also like that on the backs of the products, it’s got the list of ingredients and where they come from (the natural source), which was really cool. They all smell really fresh, the lemongrass and thyme go well together. I felt that these products worked well together as a range, although I do think that they could also be effective on their own. I have a dry skin type and these are aimed more at normal/combination/oily types- so perhaps these would work better on someone with these skin types. I thought all the products had a nice smooth texture and made my skin feel refreshed afterwards. My sensitive skin didn’t react at all to any of these products!!!! Not even a sting or anything! My skin also did not feel dry or tight after using any of these products- my skin felt good after using them all! And the more I used them, my skin still didn’t react (which happens sometimes). Very good for sensitive skin!!! Overall, I probably wouldn’t use these products as a range together- mostly because of my dry skin type (the moisturiser wasn’t hydrating enough for my skin). However I would still use them individually, particularly the cleanser (my fave of the three).
Tips: All three are awesome on sensitive skin! The moisturiser would not be suited to a dry skin type.
This organic facial regime starts with the organic lemongrass face wash. I love how it comes in a pump bottle, makes applying easy. The smell is not overbearing either which is a plus. I didn't need a lot, 2 pumps was fine. The organic thyme toner was next. The smell was overbearing, smelt like vodka. I applied this with a cotton pad as stated on the back of the bottle. It went on nicely and i also did not need a lot of product, but i did have to squeeze the bottle for it to come out. The organic lemongrass moisturiser i thought was okay. Smell wasn't too bad, I only had to use a little bit as it went a long way. It went on evenly, wasn't too thick or too watery. Overall these facial products went well together. I would put them on in the morning to see how they lasted during the day. Left my face feeling fresh and clean, almost like i was wearing a very light face mask. My pores were filled and my face felt very smooth and matified. I will continue to use this product as it reduces the redness on my face and i like how it leaves my face feeling. quick update: I will start to use these at night as during the day it has started to crumble on my face
Tips: Wash your hands after applying the moisturiser as it leaves them feeling sticky. Remember, a little goes a long way with these products.
