Reviews
I really like the idea of these products, I like the packaging, and I really like the scent of them both, but neither lived up to expectations. I didn't find either product to be particularly hydrating. I actually found the cleanser to be quite drying and it stripped my skin and made it look flaky. Every couple of days I had to break out of this routine just to use a super hydrating product to bring my skin back to life. Cleanser is a gel base so avoid if you have dry or dehydrated skin. Moisturizer is lightweight and doesn't give a white cast from the SPF, however, this product sometimes balls up on your skin after an hour or so of wear.
I think this routine would be best for someone that has super oily skin, perhaps teens. I didn't notice a difference in my fine lines.
Tips: Use an additional, higher SPF product if you're out in the sun. Add a secondary moisturizer or serum to boost hydration. Add a regular exfoliation step to avoid flakiness from the cleanser.
This cuts down a lot of steps in my busy morning routine. Both leave my skin feeling so smooth and glowy
Tips: Only need a small amount
I really enjoyed this skin routine. The face wash smelt gorgeous and made my skin feel well hydrated and soft. The moisturiser was thicker than I expect, but sunk in beautifly and I enjoyed the is included a serum and SPF.
Tips: If it's a hot day, you'll probably need to apply extra sunscreen as SPF 15 doesn't do a lot in the New Zealand sun
Cleanser: Has an almost gel-like texture, and smells faintly watermelon under the floral. Pleasant without being overbearing.
I use a silicone facial cleansing brush for my face, this cleanser does clean my face well and removes makeup, without leaving me overly dry and tight. My face feels almost plump. The smell doesn't cling to the skin after.
No dramatic difference to fine lines that I can see within the short trial time, though my forehead lines might be a wee bit softer.
Serum: Twist lock on the pump, but it doesn't come with a cap. Serum is a white creamy texture that spreads easily and absorbs fast on clean skin. Smells pleasant.
I love that it has SPF, easy one step in the morning to apply. The smell doesn't linger for too long on the skin and I do feel moisturised after using it.
Routine: The combination of the two products does provide some moisturising, and subtle plumping effects.
I feel this would be a really nice skincare routine for someone whos skin is on the dry sidebut also had the tendency to breakout. This routine always made my skin feel lovely and soft. I think with continued use i notice an improvement to my fine lines. These products used together i think complement each other really well. They leave your skin feeling soft and refreshed and non drying. Love them!!
This trial really gave me a kick up the bum to start a proper routine for my skincare.
And what a perfect product combo to do it with! My skin feels tighter, looks brighter, and is less oily. Although it is almost winter, I appreciate the SPF, especially watching my son's rugby on an autumn morning - that sun is still dangerous!
I can see this combo being a fixture in my life for a while :)
I have used this regime everyday for just over a week now and I have found it quite pleasant, especially for a lower price range product. The wash was complimented by the hydrating serum cream and worked well to keep my dry skin hydrated throughout the day. Both had similar smells, and bothe never irritated my easily irritated skin at all. I like the fact this regime is just two easy to use products, which is a must to for busy mum like me!
Tips: Apply serum cream immediately after cleansing amd let it work its magic
Garnier has been a favourite brand of mine for the last few months, as they are cruelty-free, and their products are very effective and affordable. I have been seeing the Green Lab products a lot on Instagram. So I was excited to be chosen to be on the trial team for the Hylu-Melon routine!
Hyaluronic acid is a very popular ingredient at the moment, and I have quite a few skincare and makeup procucts that include it. I have combination skin, and it can get drier as the weather gets colder.
The cleanser is in a generous sized squeeze tube, has a gel-cream consistency, and a light watermelon scent. I have found I need about a 20 cent piece sized amount, and need to massage it in quite well. It leaves my skin clean and hydrated.
The serum cream is an a sturdy plastic bottle with a pump lid, has a medium thickness/consistency, and a light watermelon scent. It feels hydrating but not greasy or sticky. SPF 15 is great for everyday use for me, but I would put SPF 50 over the top if it was a day I was outside lots. Makeup goes on nicely over it.
I was getting a few pimples when I first started this routine, but quickly worked out I needed to use a larger amount of the cleanser than what I had been using. This cleared up the pimples, and now my skin looks healthy and hydrated.
I would recommend this routine to people who would like products that feel hydrating but not heavy. These products have recently been stocked at my local Pak n Save, at a very reasonable price. I would repurchase, and also am keen to try a few other Green Lab products!
Tips: Both products work great together!
I started off with the Garnier melon serum as a base for my foundation and wow it's a complete game changer. Firstly the milky texture was super nice and left my skin feeling smooth and refreshed. It helped smooth out the dry skin from around my eyebrows so my foundation did not look flaky. The watermelon fragrance is not sweet, just a nice suttle smell.
I then cleansed my skin that night with the Garnier melon milky cleanser. It helped to remove makeup and any impurities and left my skin feeling plump and refreshed. I expected this product to come out as a white milky texture but infact came out as a clear jelly but lathered milky.
Both products contain hyaluronic acid but does not leave your skin feeling tight like a lot of other products containing this does.
Tips: A little goes a long way with both products
