Garnier BB Cream All-In-One Perfector Classic SPF 15

First thing I noticed upon opening the box was the packaging of the tube, it felt different and is actually made from cardboard which is great for the environment! Opened the flip top lid and squeezed some out. At first I thought the "light" would be a wrong colour match, but it actually was spot on. This BB cream has a beautiful fragrance and a lightweight creamy texture. I applied it with my fingertips firstly and I just had to make sure to blend it in a little more than my normal moisturiser. It had a light coverage but evened out my skin tone and even hid a couple of healing spots! The fact it has a SPF 15 is an added benefit. It stayed on all day, although I had noticed a little separation on my chin and nose, but it was a 28 degree day! This product has hyaluronic acid in it for extra hydration, so great for a typically dry skin like mine. I've also applied this with a brush like a foundation and put a little powder over top, just for a light makeup and this seemed to work quite well. I would definitely recommend this product, for young and old. Great for a starting point for teenagers and great for older ladies not wanting a cakey look but still wanting some luminosity. Great for beach days when a little coverage is wanted but not a full face of makeup. Would definitely purchase this again.

This didn’t wow me but it’s a decent enough BB cream.

It seemed to me to be a little bit darker than other Garnier medium shades I have tried in the past but it lasted all day and didn’t oxidise.

The coverage is what you’d expect from a BB cream but the finish is a bit too dewy for me but it was fine when I used powder to make it matte.

This has the regular Garnier fragrance to it which can be a little bit strong if you’re sensitive to fragrances.

Overall it’s a basic BB cream but you could find better

The new formula is lightweight and spreads easily. It has a light fresh / floral scent. The light shade seems a little darker than other Garnier BB creams I have used, almost more of a light-medium. Something for fairer people to bear in mind.

It feels very light on the skin, much more like skincare than make up. It has low coverage, but leaves a nice natural looking blurred finish, it seems like it works by reflecting light rather than covering the skin. It gives a natural look so you don't lose all skin tone.

It gives a nice natural glow and has an SPF of 15 so great for all year wear, but particularly nice for summer when you don't want to be wearing heavily layers of foundation.

This comes in a 50ml tube, so great value for money, especially if you catch it on sale. I love the new cardboard packaging, it looks nice and is easy to flip open one handed. It feels a lot nicer to use than the old packaging, I'm enjoying the improvements they have made to the packaging and formula.

I received the shade Light in the Classic formula to review which interestingly enough would've worked for my skintone if it didn't have a pink (cool) undertone. I find this strange because I am a tan golden-olive and if it almost works for me, I'm not sure it would work for someone who is actually light. In the past, I used Medium, but that was a bit too dark so I feel like even though it is a BB cream and will adjust somewhat, they do need more shades.

I love the new formula and I'm so glad it's got a bit of SPF now. It's so smooth and quick to apply, I just use my fingers. It's comfortable, no tacky feeling on the skin. It has a medium consistency and you don't need much as it spreads well. Feels extremely lightweight on the skin, like I'm not wearing anything which is what I want in a BB cream and it definitely evened out my complexion. It lasted very well throughout the day and even though I tend to lean on my hand a lot, it still looked fine hours later.

I'm pleased that they've made the packaging more eco-friendly and that they stayed with the simple tube design. I think this is a nice affordable BB cream if one of the shades suits you. If the undertone matches you, it will probably be able to adjust depth-wise. Like I said, this shade would've worked for me if it wasn't so pink. I would test it before buying if you can.

All in 1 perfector? Hmmm, maybe not. PROS, it smells great, the coverage is light enough to wear every day and hides very slight skin 'imperfections'. And, it didn't move or melt off after a few tough workouts. I've used tinted moisturisers in the past that melt off as soon as you start sweating. CONS, it's only SPF15. My normal every day moisturiser is SPF50 so I was pretty hesitant to be out in the sun too long. It does transfer onto fabrics, so be careful around your white tees and don't be surprised if it ends up all on the inside of your facemask (if you wear one) It can be a little bit tricky to get it even on your skin, similar to foundation it can leave small fingerprint smears so you do have to pat/dab it in some areas. I managed to get it too close on my brow bone and it took forever to even out. Any dry patches of skin? Yup, it's going to get stuck and highlight that area. Not great. But...if you have perfectly smooth skin and just want something to make your skin look a bit more flawless without using foundation, then this is a perfect option.

Love the fact it has SPF in it and didn't feel at all slimy like some other face products with SPF. I liked the coverage, just enough to give me a bit of extra confidence. The only thing I found was that if I used it as per the instructions it really didn't sit well on my skin so I applied it using a makeup sponge and the finish was much much better. I will definitely keep using this especially in the summer months for the SPF protection.

I use BB Creams a lot and was excited to try this one especially as it has Hyaluronic Acid and SPF added. Those are two things I love in a moisturiser or BB Cream. I used Medium shade which was perfect and a little goes a long way. I love the feel of it on my skin, it’s silky and really hydrating, my skin was really glowing! It smells nice and isn’t overpowering. I found it sits nicely on my skin and doesn’t roll or flake like many others. This Garnier Active All-In-1 Perfector Classic BB Cream is really great for daily wear, you can add more for extra coverage and you don’t have to wear sunblock or anything else with it. Overall, I enjoyed using this BB Cream and love how my skin is so much more smooth, glowing and even. I would definitely use it again and would recommend if you’d like a hydrating silky natural BB Cream.

I am a big fan of BB creams and similar products for those "no makeup" days where you just need something to even out your skin tone. Without foundation, my face is much paler than my body with a lot of redness so I'm sometimes a bit too shy to go completely naked.

I received this product in Classic Light. I would actually say this is more of a light-medium. I applied it with a damp beauty sponge as I would with foundation (I dont like applying anything with colour using my hands - too messy!). It was easy to apply and buildable so I could add an extra few dabs to my redness. The finish was radiant and natural looking and it lasts well for a BB cream - I found it lasted well for the days errands.

There were only 2 letdowns for me: 1. The shades - I have a wee google and it appears to only come in light and medium. From experience, I know the light is actually not that light so for our fairer and deeper toned friends - this probably wont work for them. 2. The fragrance - I found this too be quite strong and whilst not unpleasant, I generally don't like heavily fragranced makeup products.

I’m using the light shade and it’s still way too dark and can be orange too, so I have to be careful how much I apply and blend it in real well. I’m not even the palest person ever, more of a light-medium shade. I can make it work though, some setting powder will also lighten it for me. I know people were complaining about the original bb cream in light being too dark, so their answer was to go even darker in their upgraded version!? This is a very hydrating bb cream, I still use a face cream or sunscreen underneath, it slides onto skin easily, doesn’t settle into fine lines and no dry patches being shown, but I find it a tad too oily. Even if I use a ton of setting powder I still shine through this bb cream by midday, I know it’s summer now and have had a few hot days, but I didn’t expect it to be this oily, my skin is even on the drier side, so not sure how this just makes me produce so much oil? I also tried it without any moisturiser underneath and the results are the same, just a bit harder to spread. It didn’t really hold up to the original bb cream, which was the first of its kind and an amazing idea and product, to me they didn’t improve anything at all, this just made me miss the old formula even more.
