I've never used a ‘BB’ cream before but I have used tinted moisturiser before so I was interested to see what the difference might be, if any. I think the main difference is in the name, and perhaps a little in the improved quality (but that could also be the development of cosmetics over time). Over all I was happy with the product but I would like to go into more detail about my experiences with it:
With my sensitive skin I have to be very careful about what I put on my skin and how often. I am often not able to wear make-up (depending what kind) 2 days in a row as it irritates my skin too much, however I was pleasantly surprised to see that after wearing the ‘Garnier BB Cream’ for several days in a row it wasn't flaring up my sensitive skin in the slightest. However the constant use (while cleansing morning and night) I did start to experience some break outs but this was easily maintained by the combination of an acne cream I use and refraining from the product quite so frequently. It is worth mentioning that along with sensitive skin I also have blemish prone skin so it’s likely others would not have this problem and that I'm still using the product and regularly without issue. As far as its longevity is concerned, it does promise long lasting hydration and light coverage which is does delivery on. The product does wear and perhaps if you were concerned about coverage you might apply a second time in the day, but I personally found this unnecessary. I did find that it sat lightly on my skin so I didn't actually feel as though I was wearing anything more than a moisturiser. I feel it delivered on what it said it would do on the packaging, however the product description above (which differs slightly from the packaging) claims to reduce redness, I don't believe that is does but it does cover redness. Over all I was happy with the product and I would (and will) use it again, I also would happily recommended it to other people with sensitive skin!
Hi my skin type is sensitive and I have a lot of freckles on my fair skin.
I found the consistency of the bb cream just perfect and creamy. I applyed with my fingers and it spread easily so you don't need a lot. It gives a lovely natural coverage so basically evens you out with a nice moisturised glow.
There is a very faint fragrance that is pleasant and the product lasts all day long.
I believe this product is well worth the money and cheaper than others in the market.
The packaging is just right. Love the size tube so it is easy to carry everywhere. Good strong lid so nothing is going to squirt out into your handbag.
Overall this product moisturises your skin and gives it a more even tone with a lovely coverage. No foundation creeping into wrinkles. I would highly recommend you give this BB cream a try and you'll be pleasantly surprised.
Tips: If you are wanting a fuller coverage for those freckles just place your foundation over the top of your bb cream after it has had a chance to rest on your face.
