The Night Pressed Serum has a really nice texture! It's not quite as solid as a balm or thick like a whipped moisturizer, but has a bouncy consistency. It is meant to be used like a sleeping mask, left overnights and washed off the following morning.
As soon as I apply the pressed serum to my face, it immediately feels soothed. I have dry patches on my face thanks to eczema and this immediately quenches those spots! I will admit that despite this being a product meant to be used at night, I also did use this during the day time while working in front of the desk because my skin has been so dry lately!
The pressed serum feels like a moisturizer on the skin. It doesn't leave a sticky feeling layer on your skin and it's comfortable! The pressed serum contains both hyaluronic acid and antioxidants which fight against environmental stressors. I found it to help my skin retain a little extra moisture, as my skin is usually feeling parched by the time I wake up!

I'm not really a fan of runny products and serums applied with a dropper because application is often messy and a bit of a pain when you are always in a rush, so if I suck it up and use a product that comes with a dropper, it's because it works!
I often get eczema irritated on my neck and this always seems to calm my skin and create a thin barrier to protect the skin and allow it to heal. When I apply this before bed, I often wake up with my neck feeling smooth as opposed to dry, flaky, and irritated.
This particular line of products are plant-based and do not contain parabens, synthetic ingredients, or artificial fragrance, among many other additives often used in skincare!

I recently started using the LXMi Pure Nilotica Melt on dry patches and my knuckles that often crack in the winter and I am definitely a fan!
The melt out of the tube has a texture like a balm and transforms into an oil when warmed on the skin! I love how it locks the moisture into my skin where it needs the most! It is a multipurpose product that can be used as a sleeping mask or healing salve to name a few.

The Dewy Skin Cream is a cream with a slightly thicker, pasty formula but not quite whipped. If you have dry skin like me, I feel like you would enjoy this cream over the water cream, as that one is thinner and doesn't provide the hydration my skin needs in the winter. This one is a bit more emollient and left my parched skin feeling soft and nourished, without feeling greasy! Just a note however, this moisturizer is fragranced. -

I picked up the Olaplex No. 5 Bond Maintenance Conditioner a while back, and finally just started using it! My hair while still ultra straight and thick, now has a bit of frizz and occasionally, a wave to it! After using this, my hair felt silky and smooth.This conditioner is perfect if you have dry hair with significant hair breakage and split ends that need stregthening. Often I only wash my hair with conditioner and skip shampoo, and because my hair is thick, I go through a ton of conditioner, so I was glad that I didn't need to use a ton of product in order for my hair to feel clean! I loved that this conditioner was free of fragrance -

I love the consistency of this eye cream. It isn't thick and heavy like some eye creams can be. The formulation of the banana bright eye cream is thinner and lighter consistency. It spreads easily around the eye are, no need to apply much pressure and potentially increasing the likelihood of wrinkles around your eyes down the road. This product comes in a pot/jar and I would personally prefer if it came in a tube or a bottle with a pump, as it would feel a bit more sanitary. I felt this eye cream left my undereyes hydrated, smoother, more plump, and looking a little brighter! -

My skin is currently dry city and coupled with eczema flareups due to it currently being a transitional period between seasons, my skin needs all the moisturizer help it can get! I love that this moisturizer is lightweight, and absorbed into the skin quick! The 3 main ingredients in this moisturizer are Vitamin E, Chamomile Fatty Acids, and Sodium Hyaluronate. The chamomile and fatty acids are meant to help calm and moisturize, and the Sodium Hyaluronate hydrates and nurtures the skin. I found this moisturizer really helped soothe my skin during the irritated skin during eczema flareups, and this moisturized gave a bit of a cooling sensation. And while this moisturizer is meant for combination and oily skin, I honestly still found it to be quite emollient and hydrating for my dry skin. Also worth nothing is that this moisturizer contains less than 1% of synthetic fragrance, so there isn't much of a scent to this moisturizer! -

The serum cream in my opinion is the standout product from the new Green Labs line! All products in this line contain an active ingredient + 1 super food.
The serum cream is a 3-in-1 product -- serum, cream, and spf. I love the idea of this product because for one thing, it saves me the extra 2 steps. And the second, I much prefer the feeling and texture of these serum cream to traditional serums that can often feel a bit sticky and messy to apply. This serum cream was easy to apply on the face, absorbed really quick, so no sticky residue on the skin! This serum cream can also be used like a primer before makeup, as it is non-greasy! The only downside is the serum cream is only SPF 30, so in the summer months (or if you live in a place where it's full sun year round), you probably would still need proper sunscreen!
Also, worth mentioning, all the Green Labs products are vegan, contain 0.3% fragrance, if not fragrance free. They don't contain parabens, dyes, mineral oils, sulfates among others.

I recently had the opportunity to try the Garnier Pinea-C, which is part of their new Green Labs line, meant to be cleaner and greener. All Green Labs products contain 1 active ingredient + 1 superfood. The Pinea-C products contain Vitamin C and Pineapple and is meant to target both dull and uneven skin.
The cleanser has a thinner, watery gel like texture. It is gentle and feels really nice on the skin. After rinsed off the face, it doesn't feel like your face has been dried out or overcleansed and stripped of its natural oils. It is fragranced, but not overly strong and the scent smells very fresh!

It is an unusual experience to be using a hand soap that is completely fragrance free since most hand soaps these days are fragranced to some degree. This soap foams and you don't need a ton of product to wash your hands! I felt like this soap was gentle and didn't overcleanse or dry out your hands. -
