All Garnier products are officially approved by Cruelty Free International.

Since 1989, Garnier has been committed to a world without animal testing.

GARNIER'S new BB Cream,  combats shiny, oily skin, by combining the power of ultra-absorbent mineral pigments for an immediate matte look and perfect, even-toned skin. 

The oil-free BB cream works in five ways. It reduces imperfections, moisturises, gives skin a healthy glow, delivers a beautiful matte finish to skin and provides all-important sun protection with SPF 15.

GARNIER'S Oil-free BB Cream provides instant results while also improving the skin’s quality over time. After four weeks the results are clearly visible; skin is less oily, pores reduced in size, imperfections are visibly reduced and skin radiance is improved.

It has a  new active ingredient,  Mineral perlite - a powerful volcanic rock extract known for its ultra-absorbing properties.

Mineral perlite is able to retain up to two-and-a-half times its weight in oil and water and is five times more absorbing than talc, meaning any excess sebum is absorbed to fight that oily shine. This combined with uncoated mineral pigments gives the skin an even tone and a perfectly matte finish

GARNIER Miracle Skin Perfector-Oil-free BB cream is available in two shades - light and medium.

I like it.... a lot!

I got this when it was new on the market and mine doesn't have SPF15 on the tube, so I'm guessing Garnier has changed the formula since then.

Anyway, back to the product! I've been using this for about a year now and have not gotten any new foundation product or BB cream since then. The texture is light and a bit on the runny side but that does not bother me at all (even though it means a bit goes waste every time I use it because it just oozes easily out of the tube). Because of its light texture, it means I can apply a second layer and it still looks natural and translucent. Perfect for those prefer a natural look and people with no serious blemishes as it is only light coverage.

I basically use it as a foundation and here's my routine: day cream > sunscreen > Garnier Miracle BB oil free > minimum concealer > loose powder to set > eyeshadow+lips+cheeks.

I have combination to dry skin, but this oily free formula doesn't not dry out my skin at all. I'm also prone to breakouts and have no issue whatsoever with this.

Tips: I have light-beige skin tone and the Medium works fine in Summer but as I would like to use this product all year round I actually purchased both Light and Medium to be able to mix and create the perfect tone for my skin. It is not an expensive product by any means, so give it a try!

BB Cream

I didn't really like this BB cream mostly because the Light shade didn't really match my skin colour (I am very pale!), so it gave me an orangey look which is not so attractive...I also found the liquid very runny and goes everywhere if you squeeze the tube just a little bit. However, these reasons are quite trivial and I can appreciate the fact that this product is probably perfect for someone else! (Just not me!)

Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector BB Cream Oil-free

I love this BB Cream! I have never used a BB cream that gave so much coverage before! But the thing I love most is the matte finish. I have super oily skin so I'm always looking for products that keep me matte which this did! I love the finish. Only thing is the light shade is a bit too pale for me now that it's summer and medium is way too dark. They definitely need to bring out so more shades.

Tips: Apply very quickly with a brush. Since it dries matte if you leave it for too long then go to blend it in it will cake up. Also if you have dry skin or dry patches then stay away from this as it clings to dry patches.

Quite likeable

This was my first bb cream that I opted to try, mainly because I didn't know of any others on the market. When I first got it I thought it was great, and to some extent I still do (though I now prefer the Maybelline Dream Pure). With one layer it is a light-medium coverage but with two it could be built to medium tops. I think this is pretty great for a bb cream though as it's purpose isn't full coverage, that is what a foundation is for. I apply one layer of mine with my fingers (or a sponge when I want lighter coverage) which speeds up my makeup routine significantly. Then I just go over any spots with concealer and this gives me the non cakey look I like. I read somewhere that this is supposed to be better at oil control without a powder but I am reluctant to try that as I have very oily skin. There are not many colours in this but fortunately the light shade just works for me.

Tips: Even if you have oily skin I would recommend moisturizing before this. Otherwise it applies really tacky and can sometimes even make your skin look dry and powdery.

Combination Skin Peeps; T-ZONE ONLY!

This does a great job to combat the oily T-Zone. However, I've got combination skin, so found this was a BIG NO NO for all over the face! It was so drying to a point where it felt damaging. Also- the tone was a wee bit too pink for me.

Tips: Combination Skin peeps: Use only where skin is oily. Definitely opt for another BB/ tinted moisturiser/ foundation for the rest of your face. Trust me.

Argh ;P

Absolutely annoyed with this product mainly due to the packaging -_- The BB cream would pour out and leak and make a total mess even when the lid is tightly closed. The coverage is average, very sheer and light wear. Not to my liking at all. Would not recommend it.

Garnier BB Cream

I have very 'normal' skin and this BB cream is an absolute dream! I use it far more regularly than a foundation and find the coverage perfect. It is not at all clogging or oily. If looking for a light tint for everyday use this is perfect!

I love it!

It's one of the best BB creams I've ever tried (and I tried a lot). I have very acne-prone skin, but also very dry, flaking dry, usually on my chin & around my mouth skin just shows up flaking after applying foundations or BB creams, but not with this one! It's oil free, but it still hydrates those areas good, but doesn't make me break out at all. I still use a moisturizer underneath though, I need to with everything else too. It blends into my skin perfect, it evens out my skin tone so nicely, the coverage is just so natural, it's my everyday go to BB cream, I love it!

Review

I was lucky enough to receive this product in 'light' recently by beauty review ! I have previously tried this BB cream in medium I didn't particularly like the product as although it was a good light coverage for summer, it was really orange tinged! I also found the formula had a super runny consistency which had to really be worked into the skin .

Now upon trying the 'light' BB cream sent to me by BR i have changed my views! I've tested it out for the past few days and i did enjoy using it, although I'm still not a huge BB cream fan, i just never have found the right one! I think this is just down to my skin recently not being at its best and its just hard to find a BB cream that covers it all up as they are only designed for light coverage.

Second round trying this product the formula seems to no be as runny which was a lot nicer and easier to work with, but still took some effort to fully buff it into the skin. i felt the light shade was a bit too light for me, and the 'medium' shade was waay to dark! in my opinion i think they should create a true medium shade and lift the already existing medium to even a dark!

I also found that this shade seemed to last a lot longer (maybe the formula has changed since i purchased my last one - i commend Garnier for that!) and lasted most of the day, but as any foundation/BB cream it did start to wear of and definitely more around the problematic areas on my skin. I have combination to Oily skin since my skin started breaking out badly this year, and i found this product was on of the better BB creams (out of the few) that i have tried.

Overall i did enjoy testing out the product as it didn't look heavy or cakey on my face, and to create a colour that matched my skin tone i just mixed some of the medium shade into the light :)

Tips: Be careful when opening the cap as the cream pours out on opening every time if not done carefully and upright. Definitely try what i did and mix together the medium and dark shades to find a good match for your skin tone
