I had high hopes for this trio, mainly because of the ethos behind it- organic, sustainable, vegan- and I was not disappointed. The moisturiser, eye cream, and facial oil beautifully complement each other and feel like quite a luxurious pamper session. I was a little apprehensive about the lavender scent as it's not something I've tried in skincare before but I needn't have worried! It's nicely subtle and quite relaxing in the evening.
The consistency of the day cream is thick and it absorbs without leaving skin feeling greasy. I did find though that if I didn't give it time before using the oil it would start to pill as though it was just sitting on on top of my face.
The oil is lovely and light and works really well to lock in the moisture from the day cream. I used it at night as well after my usual night cream and it left my skin feeling great by morning. If you're someone who uses facial rollers or gua sha tools, this oil would be great for massaging the skin.
Eye creams are always a bit iffy for me. It's always a gamble whether they'll cause my skin to get little bumps but I've not had any issues with this one! Again, I like the texture and it absorbs quickly and sits well under make up.
If I had to pick just one as a must-try, it'd be the moisturising day cream, and I can see myself purchasing this as Garnier has always been an affordable option that's easy to find while doing you're weekly shop!
This was like using a "normal" range of good skin care, no funky smells, no funky textures or strange ingredients that can be associated with 'Vegan' skin care. As a trio of products, these all compliment each other beautifully, and are packaged in nice green coloured boxes, with Garnier backing up their Organic/natural commitment. I loved the concept of a good, general day to day range of vegan skin care that had organic ingredients where the source of the ingredient is named, and that they are suitable for all skin types. I was concerned the Lavandin would be an overpowering fragrance, but was happily surprised that it was gently balanced, pleasant without being strong, and after a few minutes on the skin, unnoticable. The Day Cream was one I would definitely use again. I was disappointed that the Eye Cream was packaged in a plastic tube without a recycling number instead of a glass pottle. The facial oil was a great consistency and lightweight enough for summer use. Overall, my skin felt nourished and a lot smoother after using all three products.
Tips: Lavender can be really soothing for sun-kissed skin, so keep the day cream and eye cream in the fridge to freshen your face after a day at the beach.
