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.

Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector BB Cream Oil Free

Firstly the tube shape it comes in looks great but when you take off the lid it is a bit runny and comes out by itself, firstly I tried this product by itself, I chose the medium shade as I do with other bb creams but by itself with nothing underneath it came out a little to dark for my skin tone but after a little while settled down but wasn't as easy to smooth onto skin and lasted maybe half a day,the next day I used my garner face moisturiser underneath and I found the bb cream went on so much better and I needed less product, I apply with my fingers which works great for me,it has great coverage light to medium but my skin is pretty good anyway, it took away any redness I did have and the finish looked smooth and even and was a matte like finish,it lasted all day and along with the moisturiser my skin felt moisturised and really nice,the colour matched great when I used it with the moisturiser I would definately keep using it as it makes my skin look flawless

Tips: I found using a moisturiser underneath made the end result a lot smoother and flawless and lasted longer

Bargain!

I usually don't get the palest tone of any skin products so I asked for medium shade this time - turns out I should have gotten light haha. I've been wanting to go tan for a while now so this was fun to try! The medium tone is really nice ~ not orange and not grey, just perfect! The coverage was thicker than I expected (the bb cream came out of the tube quite runny). The coverage was thicker than I would expect from a BB cream, so you can actually use very little each application or build it up! The product does get powdery and doesn't last the whole day, but compared to other bb creams I've used, it's only a bit below par. After using this product my skin doesn't feel any drier or worse in any way, so that's a definite plus! For this price it's worth buying I think :)

Tips: Shake well before use!!

It is a smooth BB cream

I am a fan of BB creams for I find them kinder to the skin compared to foundation. I have an oily combination and acne prone skin and I have found this BB cream to be soft on my skin. The product is very watery similar to a liquid foundation which made is very easy to apply and easy to blend. I use a sponge to apply this product and it goes on smoothly. The effect on my skin is pretty good, it made my skin glow however the coverage is only sheer, it actually appears like a silhouette on skin like a second skin, although it did cover my spoty blemishes, it wasn't enough to cover the redness on my face. It doesn't make my face look cakey even if I re-applied twice. The end effect is still smooth and glowy. I found this product to be not drying and also it has quite a good matte effect, concealing my shiny nose and t-zone. There is no particular smell that I have noticed. This product lasts for a good 4 hours then it starts to fade away. I find the packaging very easy to open and easy to use just a tube that is easy to screw off the lid. Although I have a feeling that it may leak in the long run due to the watery consistency of the BB cream.

Tips: Open carefully due to the watery consistent and apply with a sponge.

Garnier Oil-free BB Cream

I was not very impressed with this BB cream. My skin can get very oily and I was expecting this to work really well and stay matte all day like it advertises. However, it lasted about 3 hours max until it began to smudge, even with a primer on.

It has quite a runny consistency, and quite a lot of product is needed compared to the size of the tube. I applied it both with my fingers and with a foundation brush, and I found the foundation brush worked better as I found it to give better coverage this way. However, like I said before it only lasted a few hours before it began to run. It has medium coverage, and after application it does dry to a matte finish. It also doesn't have much of a smell.

The packaging is rather boring and could be more exciting than a beige colour, but this isn't a big deal. It does include the information about the product. This BB cream is fairly cheap, but I believe pricier ones might work better and last longer than this did.

I don't think this product worked as well as I was expecting it to and this was rather disappointing. It does not really do what it says it does. I would likely recommend this to a friend who does not have such oily skin because it may work for them, but it did not for me.

No more oily face!

I was a little bit apprehensive to try this BB cream as I have tried the other Garnier BB cream for normal skin and found it so greasy and very orange looking but I was so surprised when I first put this BB cream on as it didn't look orange on me whatsoever and gave me the perfect amount of coverage without looking like I was wearing a face full of make up, I also found I didn't need to set this with a setting powder as it's a matte finish. Usually half way through my work day I start to get shiny in my t-zone and my make up rubs off around my nose but I was happy to see that after a full day at work my face looked like I'd just applied my make up with no trace of oily skin or a red nose to be seen! The formula of the product is great, wasnt a big fan of the smell of the product as I was applying it but it's the only negative I have about this product. I'm definitely going to be repurchasing this product when it runs out which should be ages away as it only requires a small amount of product to cover my entire face!

Tips: Use a damp beauty blender or a flat top kabuki to get the best, even coverage from this BB cream.

Garnier BB Cream

I was lucky enough to be sent a trial sample of the Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector BB cream for Combination to oily skin. I have quite oily skin so this was the one best suited to me. The consistency of this product is quite runny, so you need to be careful with it. But the tube is nice and slim-line so it would fit into your handbag really easily and the tip of the tube is really fine so it is easy to dispense. This is quite easy to apply, the best method is probably with your fingers as I find it really smoothes into your skin that way. I tried it with a beauty blender too, but this didn't really benefit the product. It doesn't really have too much of a scent, nothing overpowering anyway. The coverage of this was very light for me as I have a lot of blemishes, so I found it didn't really cover them too well, you would still need to use a concealer. It does take some of the redness away from your skin though, and the finish was quite dewy. The product lasted quite well during the day but then I wasn't really going out and about, I was just at home for that day. I have to say that I think you can get better for your money, this one is good if you just want a light coverage, but not so great if you want full coverage. I haven't really noticed any changes in my skin just yet, but I will keep using it to see if it makes any difference. So I would recommend to anyone who is looking for something like a tinted moisturiser, something natural to put on if you don't want to wear heavy foundation.

Tips: Use your fingers to apply, as it just soaks up a beauty blender and a brush just pushes it round your face. If you have slightly oily skin I would set it with powder as it can tend to go shiny. (I always set everything with powder anyway). Could be used as a base under foundation to build up coverage.

Garnier BB Cream Oil-free Review

This product is fantastic. I struggle with a super oily T zone while the rest of my face is sometimes dry. Applying the BB cream after cleansing in place of a foundation will keep the oil at bay until the evening. It's easy to apply and blends well, leaving a radiant matte finish that gives my skin a healthy glow. It's relatively cheap and only a small amount is needed, making it well worth the money. It's packaging is quite bland but when the product itself is so great who really cares! This BB cream evened out my blotchy skin tone and, when combined with powder, provided a full face coverage that lasted all day. I would definitely recommend this to anyone not keen on a heavy foundation but who still needs some coverage.

Tips: Using the BB as a base and applying powder on top gave a healthy, radiant finish that lasted all day.

Ehhhhh

I've applied this with both a brush and my fingers, and had trouble getting it to sit evenly on my skin with both methods. Despite my brush leaving visible brushstroke marks on my face, the BB cream itself didn't offer very good coverage at all. I will admit I like a full coverage product but this did little to even out redness or cover blemishes.

The description of this product states that it gives the skin 'a healthy glow', but also providing a matte finish. I'm not quite sure how these things can both be true at once. I would describe the finish as a true matte so if you do like a low coverage, matte product, this may be for you.

BB Cream Oil Free

This arrived and I was excited to try it as my skin is crazy and even though it can be dry it also is oily by the end of the day. First impressions was that it was packaged nicely. Slim sleek tube that I liked. The product itself was quite runny and spilt a bit. The formula glides over the skin but 'dries' quite fast and really 'grabbed' to my drier areas and looked flaky. Not moisturising at all so I had to use extra moisturiser before applying again the next day. I exfoliated really well another day to get rid of all drier bits and then applied this BB cream but since I exfoliated I needed a lot of moisturiser then the BB cream sat nicely but y the end of the day I had a slight sheen but nothing major. So I would definitely recommend this to an oily skinned person, not combination at all as it grabs on any dry skin present. OR really well exfoliate and moisturise any dry areas before applying.

Tips: Really well exfoliate and moisturise any dry areas before applying if you are a combination/oily skin type.

Oily and blotchy

I have oily acne-prone skin and was asked to review this product by BR and was excited to see how well it would cover my skin (I got the light shade).

Texture: really runny and felt oily to apply. As soon as I opened the tube the bb cream came running out which was a bit of a turn off. The first time I used this I applied the product straight onto my skin without a moisturizer using my fingers to apply and blend, and it went on easier using my fingers because of being so runny and seemed to blend alright. I was in a bit of a rush so didn't apply powder or anything over top and went for a run afterwards and it lasted surprisingly well. There was no wear or shine, however my skin looked blotchy and felt oily.

The other days used I applied with a foundation brush and used a oil free moisturizer underneath. It claims to give an even tone but my skin again looked blotchy, dark and just felt really oily! My skin became more oily using this bb cream than any other and I was disappointed with the coverage, I was no where near to having a good complexion and just looked and felt awful on my skin.

By comparing the two different ways I used this, there wasn't really any noticeable difference but because for me the product feeling oily, I prefer to use a really good moisturizer to soak up all that extra oil.

You can't really use this product by itself because it doesn't provide much coverage but I definitely wouldn't use this again anyway or recommend to others, I'd much rather spend my spare money on a bb cream that works for my oily skin. It would be great to say something nice about this bb cream but I just can't.
