Garnier Green Labs Pinea-C Routine

These products together are an absolute dream. I find before I even use the serum the cleanser has already brightened up my skin and given it a youthful and glowing appearance, I struggle a lot with hormonal break outs and after using these products I have found my skin looks a lot clearer, brighter and more “awake”! The cleanser goes so far that you really don’t need a lot to do the trick, smells amazing and gives that real deep clean feeling. I use the serum day and night because I absolutely love the formula of it, not sticky, not too thick, just a really beautiful consistency. It soaks in to the skin super quickly and looks great under make up. I keep getting asked what new foundation im wearing but I haven’t changed my make up routine at all so it’s all thanks to these products that my skin is looking and feeling drastically brighter and smoother!

I have been using these products for Just under a week now and overall they have both been really nice to use. However, after only a week I have not noticed any change to my skin. My skin does appear to be brighter or less dull. So I will need to continue to use these products to see if I can see long term results.

My skin: I have combination oily skin, with redness and acne scars that I would like to brighten and reduce the appearance of. I was excited to try these products as they contain vitamin c which is good for brightening pigmentation.

Cleanser: this cleanser was a gel texture, on the thinner side. I could definitely smell the pineapple in this product. The bottle was easy to squeeze and get the desired amount of product out. I also have sensitive skin and found tim his to be quite gentle. It didn’t leave my skin feeling right afterwards. My skin felt soft and smooth afterwards, similar feeling to my normal cream cleanser. However as mentioned I have not noticed a difference to the appearance in my skin yet.

Serum: the texture of the serum was light and absorbed quickly into your skin. I usually use a separate serum (or oil) followed by a moistures and SPF, and I found this serum gave my skin enough hydration. It absorbed quickly and I had no issues with applying makeup on top of it. The packaging is nice and the pump is easy to use. I like how you can can lock the pump too. Again, like the cleaner I have not seen any difference to the appearance of my skin as it’s too early to get results.

I will continue to use both products to see if my skin brightens over time

Lovely combo! It feels like a premium product, and the packaging on both items are gorgeous. You really get an eco feel. The cleanser is light and foamy without an overpowering scent, but just enough to satisfy your sense of smell. It leaves your akin feeling squeaky clean. The serum is a great moisturiser, i tried it under makeup and found it wasnt as good as other products i have tried as a base as my makeup qas slipping by the end of the day, but it did leave me feeling really hydrated at the end of the day. As far as the brightening effects of both products - I am not sure about it as I didnt see much of a difference. But in saying that, I do feel as though if this combo was used for a month+ there would be some really nice results.

After just one week of using the Garnier cleansing gel and serum routine I am surprised to already see positive results in my skin. The cleansing gel is kind on my skin and doesn’t leave my skin feeling dry or red & the serum is smooth to put on and has a nice scent. My skin is already looking brighter, smoother and overall refreshed. I would definitely recommend this combination for anyones daily skin care routine - especially at this affordable price.

I think this is a great base routine for all skin types! These two products work great together and keep the skin glowing, balanced and protected. A fantastic routine for those who prefer to keep it simple or are short on time, as you’re essentially getting a moisturiser, serum, and SPF in one product and a lovely brightening gel cleanser to pair it with. I have normal skin that I like to keep well hydrated, and these products did just that for me. I loved not having to apply an extra product for SPF protection, my skin was perfectly hydrated and had a lovely healthy glow while using these. Despite usually being wary of gel cleansers due to them usually drying and stripping my skin, this cleanser gave me a really good cleanse while still keeping my skin happy and balanced, not drying even slightly! Both have pleasant, minimal scents and a little goes a long way with them both, so I really think these together make the perfect morning routine for those who want a budget and time friendly option without sacrificing bright and happy skin!

I was really excited to trial this duo, I haven’t seen pineapple and vitamin C together before! I love the environmental friendly approach with this range- all the packaging is made from 100% recycled materials! They don’t contain parabens or sulfates as well.

The colour scheme also reflected that- green, white and clear. It looked fresh and clean. Overall the packaging of both products were great- really easy to use and to control the amount of product that came out.

It’s hard for me to comment on how the products worked together as a range, as the serum cream didn’t work for me. My skin type is dry and sensitive, with some dullness and uneven skin tone. The serum cream did not contain enough moisture for my skin and therefore it was dry, especially after cleansing in the evening. Perhaps it would work better on someone who has more combination or oily skin. It was interesting that it was a serum, moisturiser and SPF in one! The cleanser worked better for me on its own, due to the reasons above. It didn’t strip my skin, tighten it or cause any dryness. It worked better with my current skin routine and I liked using it. Both products worked with my sensitive skin, and neither of them caused any irritations at all, no redness or anything! That was great.

Overall, I would continue to use the cleanser but not the serum moisturiser as it didn’t work for my dry skin type. Both products went well with my sensitive skin! Both products claim to brighten, smooth and even out the skin- unfortunately I didn’t notice any obvious change with any of these affects. The cleanser perhaps may cause more brightening over time, I will keep using it to see the affects!

I love Garnier products as a drugstore brand and this routine definitely does not disappoint. The routine was nice and gentle on my skin and, in the morning, the only other product I added in was a toner, making it a very quick and easy routine to use. My skin was definitely clean and didn’t breakout when switching to test these products. Would highly recommend as a drug store level routine!

I really enjoyed using both of these products, they have a great unisex smell, thats not too overpowering. The gel cleanser is one of the best I have used, it was my favourite product of the two. The cleanser made my skin feel so clean without overdrying. The moisturiser and serum cream is such an interesting concept, and I loved using the cream. It made my skin feel so soft, and I normally have a reaction to new moisturisers but this was hentle on my skin. The only thing for me personally, is I prefer a thicker, richer moisturiser for my skin. This would be a great summer moisturiser as it is light and smooth - and helps with pigmentation at the same time!

I was really surprised by this new Garnier range - it was really great to use and didn't feel 'cheap'!

The packaging and branding is lovely, really clean and simple. Both the pump of the cream and the tube of the cleanser are functional and practical.

I tend to look for 'basic' formulas, avoiding fragrance and too many filler ingredients - in spite of the light fragrance I found both of these lovely to use.

I love to use the cleanser in the morning it's revitalising and freshens the skin.

The serum-cream I also use in my morning routine as I don't need the SPF at night obviously.

Both products used together smooth, balance and even out my skin texture and make a good base for makeup.

It's a great duo for someone looking to put an easy skin care routine together.

Oooh the trickiest review - when you like one product of a routine but not the other!

What I liked: 1. The moisturiser! The bottle felt quality, the product worked well, and it has the added benefit of SPF. 2. The inclusion of pineapple and vitamin C - hadn't tried a product with pineapple before but it has some great vitamins in that alone. Let alone the benefits of vitamin C to the skin! 2. A gel cleanser - check out my review on the cleanser for more detail but I found the gel cleanser didn't leave my skin feeling dry.

What I didn't like: 1. The gel wash - it just didn't do anything for me. Although I was stoked it didn't do anything bad, it just didn't do anything good for my skin (unlike the moisturiser/serum cream which left my skin feeling great) 2. The overpowering fragrance of the gel wash - the serum cream just didn't have this overpowering scent, so I expected the gel wash to not smell quite as strong as it did.

Overall, using the products together didn't make a difference to my skin - but the serum cream alone my skin liked. Would buy the cream again, but not the cleanser.
