Garnier BB Cream - Sensitive Review - Medium

I have very sensitive and oily skin, this BB cream has quite a thick consistency, that goes on so smooth. its light and doesnt make you feel like your gonna end up cakey. application is as easy as anything, just apply it like moisturiser, i applied it with my hands. and it gives a good coverage

So I have sensitive skin and find it reacts with many different products so I am always worried when I try something new. I have used this cream everyday this week since receiving it. It creates an even base under my work make up and gives me that moisture I really haven't been putting into my skin as I don't really use a daily moisturiser. I used it for light coverage on the weekend when I don't wear make up. It is so easy and quick to apply (just like a moisturiser). It absorbs quickly into my skin and is so light it really feels like I have nothing on. I love that it has such a light fragrance I can barely smell it when I put it on. Its a nice light coverage and evens out my imperfections. The bottle is your normal easy squeeze bottle but what I like most about it is that when you hold it up to the light you can see exactly how much you have left. Awesome!! I found didn't need to re-apply it during the day but had I of gone out I may of put a little more on late afternoon just to keep that slight coverage there in. I have never used another BB cream before so I can't compare the price to others but for $17.49 I will definitely be going to buy more once this tube runs out. Thank you ladies for introducing me to this fantastic product!

I was fortunate to have received this as a part of the trial. The packaging (box) is eye catching in black. The tube itself is much like many other BB creams, with the colour of the tube indicating the colour of the product. It is easy to dispense from the tube and comes out lovely and thick. I applied this on my face many ways to ensure I gave it a fair trial. I found that if I applied it with moisturiser and primer, it lasted much longer on my skin. It glides on easily and feels very moisturising. I chose the sensitive cream in medium colour, as my skin is quite olive and tends to be super sensitive, often ending up in dry red scaly and itchy patches. My first indicator of a reaction with a product is usually stinging within 5 or so minutes of application, and after using this product for a few days it is safe to say that I have had absolutely no problems with it which is great! The colour itself is a great match for my skin, and blended easily. The coverage was pretty good initially, hiding any redness or uneven skintone. It leaves a lovely dewy glow on my face, which I prefer much more than the matte look, especially now that fine lines are making an appearance! I did find that it didn't seem to last very well on my skin, and within 4 or so hours it had almost disappeared, unless I used a primer first. With a primer, it lasted closer to 6 hours, however my skin did feel lovely and moisturised for much longer. I would use this product again but would definitely use it with a primer. I didn't trial it under my foundation, but I intend to next time I do a full face of make up.

I've been playing the BB-cream game for a few years and couldn't find a European product to beat the Korean contenders. However, while Korean brands are thicker, more pigmented, and hydrating- they are always to grey/beige.

I am pleased to say I think I have discovered my new holy grail with the Garnier BB for sensitive skin.

First Impressions: You get a reasonable amount of product in the tube, it has simple packaging, and I cannot detect a scent. My initial thought as I massaged the product into the skin was how reminiscent it was of my Elizabeth Arden BB cream. It has a similar thick consistency and same hydrating, glowing finish. The only difference I noticed was that the Elizabeth Arden one is more perfumed, more pigmented, and the lightest colour is too dark.

That's another struggle I have had, trying to find a shade that matches my pale complexion. I'm usually the second shade in every foundation line and found the 'light' to be the perfect neutral pale shade that wasn't too yellow based and did not oxidise on my skin.

My favourite part of the product is definitely the finish. I wore it for 3 days (twice with foundation over top) and found it had reasonable staying power and with a little powdering didn't grease up around my nose (a trouble area).

I highly recommend this product for anyone joining the BB-cream phenomenon. It's perfect for a light and luminous finish that covers any minor discolourations and evens out your skin tone. It did not disturb my sensitive skin that often rashes out to unknown products, so stoked!

It definitely lives up to it's claims of being; - long-lasting (5ish hours with powder) - Hydrating (almost like a light moisturiser) - Light touch (Feels like you're wearing a better version of your own skin) - Flawless (it does even out your skin tone but it isn't extremely pigmented with those that need a lot to cover)

I've probably repeated myself several times because I'm bit jacked up on coffee, but overall I'm pleasantly surprised and will continue to purchase this product!

This was the first time iv ever used anything like this so I was both excited and nervous that I would look so silly with it on. I got the medium tone.

I started of by moisturizing my face and letting that dry up before applying the bb cream. To me it didnt feel too think or too runny when I put on my fingertips. I started of by putting on my red areas, around my nose and on my chin. Then I went on to do the rest of my face. I was really surprised by how easy it was to put on and how it blended right in with my skin. After putting it on, my face looked and felt amazing. It took away the red around my nose and my chin and you couldn't tell I had anything on which to me was really good. I was complemented on how soft and flawless my face looked which not only put a smile on my face it gave my confidence the little bit of a boost! I would definitely be buying some more of this when my one has ran out and will definitely be recommending this product to all my friends and family.

I got this product in the tone light. I'm so used to having to use moisturizer before any foundation due to having very dry skin but using this for the first time I was very pleasantly surprised when my skin felt smooth and soft. The consistency is odd. It comes out quite thick, but as soon as I dabbed my foundation brush onto it it turned creamy and light. I used a brush to apply it and it went on clean and smooth, I didn't need to worry about lines and rubbing it in really hard in particular places. It has a nice faint smell that I would compare to a light vanilla scent. Doesn't seem to last for ages after application, but it's not a worry. I find it has a sheer coverage and leaves my skin quite shiny, but that is easily fixed with just a light finishing powder. The product is easy to remove with just a wet face cloth, but lasts hours on your face. I got this for free during a trial, but I would definitely pay the $17.50 for this in store. The packaging is built for purpose, and the small hole in the lid allows for the perfect amount of product. My skin feels so smooth and I've never found that with any other BB cream. I would definitely recommend this product to all my friends with sensitive skin.

The product arrived yesterday (little bit late) however i was eager to try this new Sensitive BB cream because i had reacted to the normal BB cream with extreme hives!. I wanted to test this on my jawline to see if anything happened to my skin, it was fine after one hour so i decided to apply a thin coverage over my face (avoiding my eyes). I really liked the texture of the product and what it did for my skin smoothing and evening it out. Not a heck of a lot of coverage as a stand alone product but i expected that.

After an hour my face started to burn, and redness started to show through the cream. Seems my face doesnt like this version either which is so disappointing! I haven't reacted to anything face wise before so now unfortunately i wont be using any more Ganier products. Thankfully have female flatmates so the product can be used up :) I can see the potential in this, but its just not for me.

I tend to have normal/ dry skin that tends to be sensitive around the eye area and have been looking for a low- medium coverage product that would suit my skin type for ages! When I was given the opportunity to trial the Sensitive Garnier BB cream I was ready to put it to the test!

First off, the packaging is sturdy with a flip top lid and squeezy tube which makes it really easy to control the amount of product that comes out. The colour of the tube is a metallic golden/ beige and whilst it's not the most eye-catching colour it's not terrible either!

Initially I was a bit weary of how thick and dark the BB cream looked when I first squeezed some out onto my finger tips! I am normally the shade medium/ medium beige in foundations and have yellow undertones and this looked much too dark for me!) However, I was pleasantly surprised when it blended easily when I used my fingers and how it actually suited my skin colour perfectly when it was on my face!

The Garnier BB cream sensitive has a gorgeous finish which is slightly dewy, making the skin look healthy and radiant. The coverage wasn't as full as I expected so I touched up with a little bit of concealer on my red cheeks but overall my skin-tone definitely appeared more even when compared to a normal moisturiser. It was also fairly moisturising too so I didn't need to wear a moisturiser under it despite my dry skin.

Throughout the day my skin didn't get oily which was a bonus, though it did seem to wear off a little after a full day out. When I tried setting it with a powder it definitely stayed on for longer! After a few days of wearing Garnier's sensitive BB cream I haven't had any flare ups and my skin seems to agree with the product well.

Overall I am very impressed with this product and have actually had a few compliments about how good my skin looks when I have been wearing this BB cream! If that's not a sign of a good product I don't know what is! :P

So I've been BBing all week and so far so good. I have pale sensitive, normal to dry skin and be careful about what I put on it. I haven't had much experience with BB's, but I think the Garnier BB is a good affordable option to start with or even stay with!

Being for sensitive skin it doesn't have a fragrance really, which is very important, only smells like a cream if that makes sense. I have the light shade. It is a lovely colour very light coverage but as it says on the tube if you want more just add a second coat, I only popped a touch more on my nose and cheeks to even out my colour a bit more when wearing it alone.

I wore it 3 different ways, alone no moisturiser, over top of moisturiser and as a primer for my foundation. Its not a thick cream so I just used my fingers. I liked it best with moisturiser on underneath, but I am a bit dry so if you aren't you might get away with not doing that. I LOVED it as my foundation primer. Made me foundation go on beautifuly and gave me a little dewy look to my skin. Which I am liking now my skins getting older!

Lovely as is, for day to day wear pop some BB on mascara, and lip gloss and I am set for my day as a mum, apply my makeup over top and look fresh and finished!

So I would say YES! Try it its a good affordable option.

You only need a very small amount that goes along way. It is a very light cream and does not irritate the skin at all. I wouldn't call it a 'miracle' cream but does feel like you are nothing more than a moisturiser on your skin.
