Very Nice

I used this bb cream and I really enjoy it. I feel as though is very light on my skin and really evens out my tone. It also brightens my overall complexion which I like. I have quite sensitive skin and this product has been such a pleasure to review. I also will say that it has nearly no smell which is so nice. Unlike an other bb creams I have used. Would definitely buy this and definitely recommend to anyone who wants a really beautiful bb cream.

Tips: Wash face before you put it on and don't use to much =)

Garnier bb cream sensitive

I have super sensitive skin and eyes. I first used this over my cheeks and forehead and WOW! My skin looked amazing. It evened my skin tone, illuminated it and it felt moisturised ! Being the "sensitive " product I then tried it over my eyes, I had no stinging or redness or tears! It lasted all day and didn't go patchy or oily. This would be the perfect starting product for a teenager. Only $17.99 and it still looks like your skin.

Tips: Best weekend or summer face product! Add some concealer under your eyes. Some bronzer on your cheeks and temples. Beautiful, radiant skin!

Major allergic reaction!!

When I got the Garnier BB cream I noticed first that the tube was rattling around inside the box. If no packing is used then maybe a better fit box or just do away with the box totally.

Pop open the cap & do the sniff test. It has fragrance (sensitive skin normally reacts to fragrance so weird!) On the box (I'm no chemist) but I couldn't see fragrance added. I noticed alcohol. Sometimes it can sting.

Anywhooo I squeeze out some onto my finger. Looks dark! I had the medium. Rubbed between fingers and felt thick and smooth. Put on my clean moisturied face. It seemed to melt onto my face. I switched to a blender for a better coverage. Colour matched perfectly. I noticed a sensation on my skin, not a sting or fizz, just a sensation which I ignored.

It felt like I had moisturiser on. I snapped a pic after a hour to see how it looked. To me it was a day, soft cover. I can clearly see my skin underneath. At around the 3 hour mark I felt like I needed to remove it.

That night there were red blotches on my face (thought it was just my skin playing silly buggers) In the morning I woke up to a VERY angry, red, sore, fire leaping out of it skin! It was even weeping a clear fluid! Everywhere I had applied was sore. Eyelids, face and below jaw line. Long story short, doctors prescription, steroid cream and lots of cold face cloths later! It was like I had been burned but worse! (I have photo evidence)

I was gobbsmacked! I went over everything I had been near, applied and even eaten. It was the BB cream. To rule out the Garnier BB I applied to the inside of my arm (if I was going to react, it wasn't going to be my face again!) and right away I felt that weird sensation again. I immediately removed but heck I'm stuck with a itch/burn sensation.

Yes I have sensitive skin. I get eczema sometimes. My skin is dry. Never ever have I had a reaction to ANYTHING like this before. Whatever is in this needs to be removed.

I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. I am going to offer this to others so it's not wasted (as long as they test before wearing!)

Tips: Absolutely do a patch test on the inside of your arm first!

Oh no that's sad to hear. I've got sensitive/reactive skin too and have been using the normal variety for years with no problems and recently trialled the oil-free with good results. Have an unopened sensitive from the BB-day app but I'm scared now

Aw I want to give you a big hug! That is terrible but has made a very useful review. It is surprising it had a scent considering it's for sensitive skin!

I tried so hard to like this!

Every time I uses this it clumped up and flaked off as well as not giving me a even tone. It was fairly easy to apply but then this happened.. maybe it was off?

I have combination skin but its super sensitive so I tend to always go for a sensitive skin product, this miracle cream gave me so many pimples that I feel like a teenager again. What is with people making things for sensitive skin super oily??

The cream its self was a medium thickness and only had a subtle scent on sunscreen. I gave me thin coverage but the shade was weirdly orange which is strange since it was meant to be the "light" shade. It last half the day before it started going even more uneven.

Really don't think there is any miracle to this cream, it just made my skin horrible while making me look like I didn't know how to apply make up for a few days... embarrassing!

Tips: My tip would be not to use it..I used this product 4 days in a row in different ways.. With Moisturizer and without, as a base to my foundation and also with powder on top. No moisturizer with foundation over the top was the only one that was semi bearable, only because my foundation pretty much covered it up.

Perfect colour.

I got this to trial in the shade light, which was a perfect colour match for me. My skin is usually quite dry and I have red cheeks which I am constantly trying to minimise.

The consistency of this is quite thick - particularly when comparing it to other western bb creams. It isn't stiff but is creamy and kind of thick, which I like. Like other bb creams this is simple to apply. I used it both with my hands and brush and found I prefer to use my fingers - I just apply it like a lotion. One thing I didn't enjoy was the scent. It has a subtle sweet fragrant smell that I can't put my finger on. I didn't really like it but it is a very subtle smell that fades quickly when on your face, so the smell wouldn't put me off using this. The coverage is pretty good. I'd say the coverage of this is somewhere between a foundation and a tinted moisturiser, which is ideal when you don't want something heavy. The finish on this was slightly dewy, which I loved. This didn't cling or enhance any dry patches which is also a must for me with any kind of coloured product on my face, nor did it dry my skin out. I didn't use a primer under this and it lasted for around three hours before starting to break down, although it still looked good after mine hours. The only thing I noticed was that my redness became a little more apparent after around three hours, but it wasn't super obvious. I was pleasantly surprised by how well this held up throughout the day with no primer. I imagine that with primer it would last even longer I think the price is quite high when compared to Asian bb creams. However, compared to other western creams that are readily available to us in shops here, I think it is around the cheaper side of the spectrum, although I wouldn't pay full price for it (just because Korean bb creams you can get online are far cheaper). However, I think that if you are wanting a western BB cream and want something you can get from a store, this is worth the money. The packaging is average. For me, there is nothing aesthetically interesting about it but nor is there anything ugly about it. To look at, it is kind of boring and it wouldn't catch my eye in a shop. In terms of the use ability of the packaging, it functions well as you squeeze the tube and open the cap to get the product. I find this super easy to get the amount you want and it's really easy to keep clean, which I like. I haven't noticed any massive change in my redness but to be fair, my redness is triggered by temperature fluctuations so this cold isn't helping. It definitely has helped keep my skin hydrated and makes it appear fresh and dewy which is ideal for the cooler times when I want my skin to appear brighter. I would recommend this to a friend if they needed a Bb cream ASAP. If you are a newbie to BB and/or want something that you can pick up from a store rather than online, I definitely recommend this.

Tips: You can use this either alone or under foundation. I have used it for both and I like it for both uses. Obviously using this alone provides less coverage than wearing foundation on top of it. I really, really like this as a primer as it is hydrating my skin, reducing redness and providing an SPF. My suggestion is to try it no ways and see if you have a preference.

Lasts all day

I got to trial this product, but I will buy this to use again. This was my first time using a BB cream and I came in a little skeptical, but have been very pleasantly surprised.

I applied just using my fingers (no need for a sponge) and it spread very easily and gave great coverage.

The BB Cream is a little creamier and thicker than my normal moisturiser, so I used moisturiser underneath the BB Cream as my skin can be quite dry when I get out of the shower.

I used the medium tone, which is a little bit dark for me (in winter months) and it was a little bit orangey, but with my pressed powder applied on top it works out better. The winner for me is that the combination of the BB Cream and pressed powder makes the colour stay on all day. I normally have to reapply powder throughout the day - but I didn't need to with the BB Cream underneath. The powder also adds a matte effect which the BB Cream doesn't do.

The squeeze top tube is great so I can control on the amount of product and the secure cap means it won't leak or spill in my bag when I am travelling.

Bonuses for me was that it lasted all day, is SPF 15, it evened out my skin tone, concealed my blemishes, and was fragrance free.

Would be better if there were different shades - as I would probably get one between the light and the medium for winter.

Given that it looks like it's going to last a long time (as you only need a small amount), I think the price is very reasonable.

I would recommend it to a friend (but they might want to trial the shades first).

Tips: You only need to use a small amount as it spreads over the face very easily. I was a little over enthusiastic on the first day and squeezed too much out.

I received a tube of the one for sensitive skin and had chosen the medium shade, which was my first mistake! I am not fair skinned, but this is way too dark for me! I looked like an oompa loompa with it on, so it was removed immediately.

I did like how easy it was to apply and the size of the tube was great, as it would have been easy to toss it into your handbag or find space in amongst your other products without any problems.

My other concern was that it contains sunscreen and I can't explain how I missed that information when I looked at the product initially, as I am allergic to most sunscreens. For this reason I did continue with using it a couple of times, but only on the inside of my wrist, more as a test for myself to see if there were any products with sunscreen in them that I could use. I found that it rubbed easily into my skin and I was really pleased to note that I had no discernible reaction to this product - PHEW!!!!

Tips: Less is more and please, go for a lighter shade than you normally would, as this product is dark!

just what i have been waiting for

In the past i have used similar products but garnier bb cream is by far the best.I put a little on tip of my fingers and rubbed it into my face and was amazed how well it spread over my skin, instantly my blemishes and two tone skin blended to a smoothe even finish which is exactly what it claims to do the amazing part was i put a little powder overtop and it worked as a foundation except the bb cream is way lighter and feels so much better on the skin so i can use it as an everyday moisturiser or add a little powder for a more dressed up look. I definately thinkit is worth the price as it does everything it says it does and can be used for more than 1 purpose i will be continuing the use of this product and have already spread the news of this amazing product to all my friends thankyou garnier for creating a cream that actually works and is so good to the skin especially when its sensitive its not easy to find such a good product im sold on garnier bb cream sensitive

Tips: U dont need much it spreads easily also apply a little powder on top and it works as a foundation except its not so heavy and damaging on the face

Better than expected!

I have previously tried the Anti Ageing BB cream and reacted to it after a few days of consistent use, so I was pleasantly surprised by the BB Cream for sensitive skin. It is light and very easy to put on - nowhere near as thick as I found the Anti Ageing version. The coverage, while sheer and light, blended really well with my skin and helped my skin appear consistent - I struggle with rosacea and pimple prone skin, and it reduced the appearance of the redness while not in itself causing more breakouts. It also didn't cause any flare ups for my skin, reaction wise. I would definitely recommend it to my friends!

Tips: Less is more - you don't need a lot to give you even coverage...
