Garnier Green Labs Hylu-Melon Serum Cream SPF15

I was quite interested to try this product, being a 3 in one product (spf, moisturisers and acts as a serum). First off the sent of the product was refreshing, however it did linger throughout the day. The texture was smooth and once rubbed into my face, was not tacky and it did not leave a residue. I found that this product did say what it said it would do, but all in all I would not replace this serum/ moisture/ spf with the ones I originally used as I found them to work better.

I was excited to try this product after using the milky cleaners from the same range. (which I loved)

However I was disappointed. It said its 3 in 1 and works well as a day wear under makeup. This was not the case. My makeup wouldn't set well and it moved all day.

The bottle it comes in looks cheap. The pump itself is great though. Also wasn't a fan of the smell but that's personal.

I started using it at night instead cause I wear makeup everyday. It's not intended for night use but I wanted to trial the product. It was OK but not great. I will stick to my current products and unfortunately wouldn't purchase again.

I was quite excited to try this product as I've been a fan of Garnier products for a long time, and especially since this product claims to be an 'all-in-one' type of cream - it has serum, cream, and most importantly, sun protection!

I liked the twist pump feature, easy to dispense and not too much comes out at once so you can control how much you want to use on your face and neck. Aesthetically, I found the label design print on the plastic bottle could look much better, compared with other Garnier products.

I used this every morning after cleansing and before makeup. The scent is quite strong, but I found it pleasant and wasn't too bothered by it - the scent doesn't last very long.

Personally, I found the consistency was too thick for what I prefer in a day cream. I'm not sure if it's the volume of products packed in - cream, serum, sunscreen, that made it feel a little too much in texture. I found it quite hard to absorb into my skin, and massaging it into my skin until I couldn't see the whiteness of the product took longer than I'm used to with other serums or creams I regularly use.

The cream moisturizes my skin well, I could still feel the product on my skin hours after application so it's got good staying power. My skin felt slightly more plump and I love a day cream with SPF, but overall this cream probably isn't the right product for me as I didn't think the formula was as lightweight as it claimed to be.

As a basic economical day cream on a budget, I think it's fine but it wasn't above average for me. I appreciated the opportunity to try this product though! :)

First of all, I love the scent. I personally like an artificial melon scent, but I know others aren't a fan of artificial smelling fragrances. I also liked that it didn't feel like sunscreen and didn't appear to throw a white cast.

However, I wouldn't say it was super hydrating. Certainly not 24 hour moisturization. My skin doesn't look or feel any bouncier. I don't feel like it has the efficacy of a quality serum, but obviously it's at a much lower price point.

I did find that some days it would kind of pill and ball up on my skin after about an hour or so? Kind of like when you're using a chemical peel and when you rub your skin, the dead skin cells and product ball up. And as this product doesn't contain any enzyme or chemical peeling ingredients.. I don't think it was supposed to do that?
