Garnier Green Labs Hylu-Melon Routine

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!!

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!

I was lucky enough to be able to review both the cleanser and serum thanks to beauty review. I found both the cleanser and serum were lovely products and mostly did what they were intended for. The cleanser was easy to use and came in a generously large tube which was easy to squirt my hand. The product was thick and took a bit more washing to remove the product. It definitely removed makeup with ease however I wouldn’t say it plumped my face and removed fine lines. The serum I used after the cleanser and moisturiser. It was easy to apply with a couple of pumps the product glided onto my face it has a lovely cooling sensation which is refreshing. The smell is strong but nice however my skin prefers non fragranced products. I felt my skin was much softer after use and seemed more plumper than usual it definitely seemed to help aid my dry skin. Both products sell for a reasonable price which makes it affordable to most people. I would recommend giving the two products a go together for the best results.

I was excited to try this combo as I am starting to see fine lines and changes in the texture of my skin. Especially as the serum cream is a 3 in 1 night cream. Anything that speeds up the nighttime routine is always welcome.

I found the cleanser to be lightweight with a slight fragrance. It was easy to apply and didn’t dry my skin out. The serum was also very light and easy to apply. I did find that I broke out after 3-4 days around the corners of my mouth and had a tingling sensation around the corner of my eyes. I started to dilute the serum with a basic moisturiser to give my skin time to get used to the retinol.

Over a great combo. Would recommend but those with sensitive skin may need to reduce the days in a week you use it or dilute it at first.

I really enjoy these products! they’re both nice and gentle but feel really hydrating and plumping on the skin. The face wash has a slight watermelon scent but it doesn’t make my skin feel sensitive or dry. Following up with the moisturiser makes my skin feel really fresh! The moisturiser does also have a slight watermelon scent but is not drying at all and quite refreshing when using in the morning.

I was disappointed with this skincare routine. It promises moisture rich skin and for me it did the exact opposite. It dried my skin out. I found that it made my skin really tight. The serum was more like a sunscreen for me and even then it wasn't enough spf to protect my face. The cleanser had a beautiful smell and a nice consistency but everytime I used it my skin felt so dry. I have combination skin as well which probably doesn't help but it would maybe work better for normal skin. This product was definitely not for me.

Separately I did not love these products, and the same goes for them together. While I certainly did not dislike them, I’m just not sure Garnier have got them quite right. Throughout my trial I used them separately on some days and together on others to see if I could find the pairing they have indicated there is. I could not see that using the cleanser before the serum made any difference to how the serum performed, nor did I find that my face felt any different when the serum was not used. I think these two products do what they say they do on a fundamental level, but I’m not sure they’re game changing as a “routine”. I had hoped, based on the marketing, that these two products would work together to reduce and remove impurities, smooth and plump my skin and increase hydration, while tackling fine lines and unfortunately while it does hit some marks (hydration and plumping) I did not see any difference to impurities , smoothness or fine lines. A good offering for those just delving into skincare routines, but may not satisfy those who need the help with fine lines and other signs of aging,

I was really excited to trial these products, however I was not wowed. The scent was initially pleasant, but after a while became a bit sickly. The products worked, however not as well as the products I already use. All in all I would recommend as a more affordable alternative.

I enjoyed trying both these products together - the cleanser every day and night, and the serum cream every morning.

The milky cleanser is really good in cleansing well and not making my skin feel too tight afterwards, my skin did feel smooth and a little plump. I found I didn't need too much of it to turn into the milky consistency when mixed with water, it washed makeup off with no issues.

The serum cream was effective in hydrating my skin but I found the consistency of the texture too thick for my personal preference. However I found the SPF15 worked fine and it did hydrate my skin well. I would probably prefer a higher SPF at my age (30s), but I think this product would be great for anyone on a budget or maybe starting out exploring products with Hyaluronic Acid.

For this routine, I'd choose the cleanser over the cream serum as I found it easy to use and I liked the texture of it. After using both products for two weeks, I found that my skin was hydrated but did not see significant change in fine lines.

A good cleanser and day cream combo but not the best products I've tried from Garnier overall.

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.
