Garnier Green Labs Retinol-Berry Serum Cream

I loved this serum because every night I use moisturizer, serum and eye cream but now it just two pumps and I am done. This is my second week of using this but so far, my face is looking better, younger... But definitely will keep using it now every night so get the best out of it.

This is a very interesting product and one I may have passed by if I'd seen it in the shops. I like Garnier but not more than other brands. But I do love serums, and when I saw this in the vault I was keen to give it a try.

The packaging is quite plain, which is fine by me. The bottle matches the box and is a pump top 50 ml bottle. The product is a thick white lotion, and has no fragrance.

As per the instructions, I have been applying it after cleansing twice per day. I spread it everywhere over my face and neck. I haven't experienced any of the possible side effects of dryness, tingliness or flakiness. My skin feels a little tighter and looks smoother. I hope it looks more radiant but I can't say it's too obvious if it does. But it is looking good so I'm happy with that. It is great to use one product for a night cream, serum and eye cream. It isn't the best serum I've used but it is very good.

It is great that is has no parabens, mineral oil, or dyes, and is cruelty free.

I recommend giving it a try. On Brands it is $27.99 which is a good price for a good serum.

I was Not Expecting such a nice outcome to be honest.. it is definitely a Game Changer. I love the fact that it is plant and fruit derived. Decent packaging and clean ingredients made me reach for it even more. Has a nice & light texture. Very Gentle formula. my skin is glowing and I think I am hooked ❤

This is a good size bottle with pump. It's a nice consistency and easy to apply. I like the convenience of being a serum, moisturiser and eye cream in 1. Don't need to use much for the face. When I started to use this, my skin tingles. I saw on the bottle this happens when new to retinol. I had to ensure I used suncream everyday. While I like how my skin felt after applying, I did notice my skin was feeling drier than normal in the mornings.

I must admit I was quite wary of trying this product as I have super sensitive skin that reacts to any active ingredients. The first night I tried this, I used a tiny amount, and the following day, my eyelids swelled up, as I expected. However, it only lasted a day, and then my skin calmed down.

On the box, it recommends using every other night in the first week to give your skin an opportunity to adjust to the retinol. Then by the second week, your skin will have adjusted. As my skin is so sensitive, I stuck with using it every other night for the duration of the trial and didn't have any further reactions.

Did I notice any major changes to my skin? No, not really. My skin didn't feel so dry, but I didn't notice any visible reduction in my fine lines or dark circles.

I will keep using up the cream, and I hope to see some more visible changes in my skin over time. As I was only using it every second night it may need some extra time to take effect. However, I am not sure yet if I will buy more when I have run out.

I really wanted to love this but the serum left my face with a tingly sensation and I woke up with dry patches, especially under my eye area. I've used retinol products before so I know this can be expected, but I would not use this again around the eye area. The next time I tried it I deliberately lathered as much moisturiser as I could on top, which did wonders for the dryness in my skin. As far as retinol products go, I think this is an affordable, gentler option. But if you haven't used retinol before, use sparingly to begin with.

I was so excited to use this serum. I am getting more and more fine lines every passing year! The packaging is cute and I love the design of the bottle and I love how easy it is to control how much comes out. It has a nice smell and feels very hydrating when you rub it on. I’m glad there was some good instructions for this first-timer. I used this serum just before bed and I didn’t like how sticky it made my face feel against my pillow. I used it every second day as directed and I feel this was a good introduction to my skin. There wasn’t any over drying - maybe too much hydration for my skin as I woke up with a very oily face. I did notice there was a good improvement with the appearance of fine lines around my eyes and the crows feet significantly less which is exactly what I was hoping for. I have been using this now for two weeks - increasing the frequency of use as directed and sadly I don’t see any more improvements to any other areas. Maybe time to graduate to a stronger product.

This was my first time trying retinol and I was super excited as I'd been wanting to try it for ages. As it says it doesn't over dry your skin which was great. The consistency and texture of the serum are really nice and it absorbs into your skin very nicely. As someone who likes to keep a minimal skin care routine I thought it was great that it incorporated a night cream and eye cream into it. After using it every night for the last 2 weeks I can't say that I've noticed too much difference in the appearance of any fine lines on my face. I will happily continue to use this product to the end of the bottle as I like how it feels on my face but I'm not sure that I would buy it again. I can imagine that it could be a great product to start your retinol journey with to get your face used to it before moving on to other products.

The formula of this serum is beautiful, it glides on a little goes along way and feels like a very hydrating gel moisturiser. I have been using this now for a couple months and it seems like I can only use this maybe twice a week or it will break me our which is a shame because I love how it makes my skin feel and look at the time of application. I love the packaging on this the cap twists and locks to prevent leakage and the bottle is a thick glass bottle it feels really high quality. I dont know if I see a difference in the quality of my skin as in fine lines and pigmentation from when I do use it (apart from the breakouts) it does hydrate my skin immensely in the morning my skin is not dry at all like when I have used other retinol products. I like this enough just for the hydration alone to want to continue using this.

This is a good little serum for those who have sensitive skin, as it is fragrance free and you can use it all over your face including eyes! It's quite a thick formula so I didn't feel the need to moisturise afterwards. It also doesn't absorb into the skin, it kind of just sits on top hence the need to skip moisturising - great for lazy girls like me! It didn't smell like anything, so great for those sensitive to fragrances. When I put the serum on my eyes I didn't have any reactions which is a good sign. I really liked that the bottle felt solid, and doesn't feel flimsy or cheap. It says that fine lines would be visibly reduced and that under eye skin would appear well rested - within a week! If only! I for sure cannot say that this happened to me, in fact, I didn't notice any difference, but I will keep using this and hope it will just take a bit longer for this to reverse the signs of aging :)
