I have sensitive/combination skin which makes it hard to find the right face products. Garnier BB cream glided on my face - so smooth and the coverage was great although I had to reapply on my chin as it was starting to flake. BB cream did not feel as light as I wish a foundation to be but it was definitely not the worse either. It had no shocking smell :-) Thank goodness. The price and packaging is great - no complaints there :-). I do not wear make up every day therefore I would recommend it to people but for the long term use with the result of nourished skin with reduces redness and even skin tone, I can not comment.
The following are some of the ingredients within Sensitive skin BB cream and possible effects they have in cosmetic products....Information is from The Chemical Maze by Bill Statham, 2011. This book is to be used as a guideline (every person react differently to chemical exposure) from available research at the time of writing.
Propylene glycol may cause eczema. Stearic acid may cause allergic reactions. Glyceryl stearate may also cause allergic reaction. Phenoxyethanol may cause mild irritation on sensitive skin. Methylparaben and Ethylparaben may cause irritation and dermatitis in some people. Aluminium hydroxidehas strong evidence of neuro toxicity and function alterations of the blood-brain barrier they also suspect respiratory toxicity. Disodium EDTA may cause allergic reactions.
Overall I was impressed by this product, the application easy to apply and smooth on your skin. The colour, after rubbing it in well, matched my fair skin, and it didn't irritated it like some other BB creams, so was ideal for my sensitive skin.
Tips: Be sure to rub the product well into the skin, to avoid an uneven application
