Garnier Skin Perfector BB Cream Oil-Free Review

It was a pleasure trialing this BB Cream. I have never tried it before and can get nervous trying something for the 1st time. It has a thin watery texture that took a little getting use to applying. It gave a very quick and easy even coverage and I could clearly see if I missed any spots. I chose the medium color which worked in perfectly for my skin color. It gave an even matte finish and kept the oiling look away for the entire day, I'm not one for wearing foundation so this worked perfectly for me. It lasted the distance going from a day in the office under air conditioning and through netball practice that evening with no greasy appearance. Its lasting power was reasonable if I didn't touch my face, but did come off quickly when I blowed my nose or wiped around my eyes so not the best when you are having spats of hay fever which is to be expected.The packaging said it makes pores less visible and imperfections are minimized and It did exactly that. It didn't moisturizes incredibly well in the few areas that are dry, so I defiantly won't be eliminating my moisturizer from my daily to do list. I applied it a few times just using my fingers and it was a bit flaky, I used it will a foundation sponge which made the application so much better. The packaging was well detailed and I thought the recommended age group scale very informative. The tube itself is small enough to pop in your handbag or makeup bag which is great for when you are on the move. One down fall was the lack of information on the tube itself, so if your new to this product you'd need to keep the box handy. All in all it did as it said it would and I'd be happy to recommend it to others to try.

My skin is probably normal/combination, however, it does get oily around my chin. I chose the oily/combination BB crème (in the light shade) as I have found many creams to be too oily on my t-zone. I was pleasantly surprised by the creamy texture and at how easy it was to apply. The BB crème is smooth, light and glides on effortlessly. I used my fingers as I do with pretty much everything I apply. I was worried it might be a little too dry looking as I don’t normally wear anything matte, and I’m 44 so had some concerns about it not being the right one for me. The only thing I would say is that it probably highlighted the fine lines around my eyes a little more than the original garnier BB crème I used when they first came out. I think there were only 2 varieties then (just the two shades). That BB crème was too oily around my chin though and didn’t have any sun protection in it. I really like how it gives a sheer look although it’s matte, you can still see a hint of your skin tone which is why I personally prefer BB crème to foundation. I like a natural look that also provides some coverage. TheBB crème has a mild lotion scent, not very perfumed and not unpleasant either. A little bit really does go a long way, I would envision this lasting me for several months if I wore it daily, probably at least 3 months. This product definitely lives up to my expectations, my t-zone wasn’t oily at all and neither did my skin look dry. It actually feels nice and smooth to touch. It looks great, evens out my skin tone without completely hiding my complexion

Skin Type - Combination which is sometimes prone to breakouts and certain things that should work don't but I haven't had any issues since using the cream. Consistency - I would say watery. It took a little bit of time to get used to it in comparison to my normal moisturiser as it's thicker. Application - easy enough to apply once I got used to it being more like a foundation than a standard moisturiser. Definitely start with less and add instead of lather on like I would normally! Fragrance - doesn't have a noticeable smell to me (that said, I do have a little bit of a cold so my sense of smell could be off) Coverage - good coverage even though it is lighter than a foundation, matte finish which smoothed everything out. Longevity - l felt that it lasted all day Price - it's around about what you would pay for some moisturiers and is probably only a little more expensive than the Neutrogena one I am currently using. Packaging - okay, not overly drawn to it but it is functional with lots of information on it. Results - I was quite happy with the results, skin feels improved and it smoothed out the different shades of my skin. It didn't feel too heavy on my face and I also felt like I wasn't shiny like I can get when I just have moisturiser on. I think that the pores have reduced on my face as well - yay! I would recommend to a friend as it's not too expensive so if it doesn't suit them, they've not invested a lot of cash. I certainly think that it's worth the money and did do as it said it would. I will definitely be continuing use, that's for sure!

I have combination skin which can get a little oily in the Winter, so thought this product would be great for me. It is quite watery in consistency, but goes on beautifully. Its really light and easy to apply. You can use your fingertips for a light cream coverage or a brush for more full coverage. With a primer on underneath it makes a great foundation. It goes matte quickly after application which is great for oily skin, it feels really soft. It does have a bit of an alcohol smell to it - my first thought was hand sanitiser? But I am used to it now and find it quite pleasant. With finishing powder it lasts all day. I would recommend this- I love it. I got it in the light colour even though I'm an 005 in Revlon, which was risky but it blends perfectly. It also suits my sister who is a whole tone lighter.

I have oily skin, and was pleasantly surprised by this BB cream.

Despite it having a runny consistency at first glance, this bb cream seemed to thicken up when applied to my skin, it was easy to apply, and went on smoothly. I wanted to trial this BB cream as effectively as possible, so tried applying it with my fingers, a sponge, and a makeup brush on seperate occasions, it is definitely easier to apply with your fingers and I found that a little goes a long way using it this way, where as a brush or sponge in particular use quite a bit more as they soak up a lot of the make up.

The BB cream offers light coverage & a matte finish, and definitely helped to control my oily skin throughout the day. I have always had a problem with finding a foundation or BB cream that does not 'melt' off my face during the day, I did not have this issue with this particular BB cream at all. I was able to go the whole day with no shine on my skin, and coverage intact!

The packaging was nice and simple, just what you would expect from Garnier, and the smell of the actual make up is pleasant.

The only concern I have, is with the BB cream being a bit runny/watery (before going on your skin and thickening up), this makes it hard to get the right amount out of the tube, so just be careful with that to avoid wastage. The tube is a good size, and should last a long time.

This is definitely value for money, I will definitely be buying it again, and would recommend to everyone who has naturally oily skin.

I was very excited to be part of this trail as I have been using a different BB cream but wasn’t very happy with the results. I found that the Garnier cream was surprisingly runny but I still found it very easy to apply with my fingers and you only needed a small amount, once applied it gave me a lovely even coverage with a matte finish the colour matched my skin perfectly but it didn’t fully cover my pimples but it worked very well with concealer underneath, I also found that I wasn't oily by the end of the day and still felt like I still had a pretty good coverage which I don’t normally get. Overall I really liked this BB cream as it is a good sized tube and you only need such a small amount so it will last quite a while so I will defiantly keep using it. Thank you Garnier!

I was told of the effects of this BB cream and was super excited to try it. When I did, I was super amazed as to how well it covered my blemishes and evened out my skin tone. And it still left my face looking fresh and natural as if I hadn't put anything on.

I have quite oily skin and most BB creams (and foundations) can leave me with a nice oil slick, especially on my forehead, however the Garnier Oil-Free BB cream was the first product to not leave me looking shiny! This BB cream goes on lightly, has a nice texture to it making it easy to apply, the long nozzle on the bottle also helps meaning you don't get a huge clump of product all at once. There was a simple fragrance that didn't overpower you. This product definitely gave me an even skin tone and hid pesky blemishes, it lasted reasonably well throughout the day, although not as long as standard foundation would obviously. I liked the fact that it also contained an SPF15. I would definitely continue to use this product and would recommend it to anyone who has an issue with oily complexion

For many years I had found that a cheap foundation couldnt cut it for my skin. Most of them have just been too oily and/or the coverage just wouldnt be enough for my liking. So to be honest I was expecting the same with this one just because I have been using expensive foundations for the last couple of years.

This has really change my thoughts on a supermarket foundation. I am really enjoying this for every day use and actually it can work for night time use as well! I will get this comment out the way because this was the only downer I found with this product and that is its a shade or two darker than my skin tone. I can almost get away with it but if I was outside on a sunny day you could see a slight difference but I am willing to make it work as I am really loving it!!

I do have an oily skin and I was pretty addimate that this would not be able to control my oily flow but man was I wrong! With it having quite a thin consistantcy I thought it was going to have quite an oily finish to it just because its a supermarket product but it doesnt! Thank goodness! It has a nice matte finish but with out it feeling powdery on the skin. I was so glad that I had a good amount of time to trial this as I did play with it using different methods and using other different products with it. I reckon you can quite easily use a flat top kabuki and a beauty blender and it gives you a good finish. My favourite method for every day though would be the beauty blender, it just gives such a beautiful finish without the extra work. I also got the oppitunaty to mix it with my other foundation and test it out by reapplying it at night when I had been wearing it all day. It works soo well in so many different ways.

I found that this product has a medium to slightly builable coverage so its definately enough to even out your skin tone. I also love pairing it with my Australis fresh and flawless powder becuase this can help to give a bit more coverage with an even more flawless finish, argh perfection! The longevity of this product I was nicely suprised by too, I wouldnt rely on it for day and night wear but it definately lasts the day or night quite easily.

I personally didnt find that it had a smell, mind you my sense of smell is terrible. The packaging in my eyes is very easy as its in a nice tall tube and there is no pump so you have complete control of how much product you are wanting to come out.

This is definately a product that I would recommend to a friend and even a stanger! I just find it so good for something of this price!!

Love this!!!! I went for the medium color and this wa perfect for me. I apply with a brush - it goes on smoothly and doesnt need much blending, the texture is a little thicker than other bb creams I have used. This meant it covered more! I was able to wear this as my daily foundation by its self! It covered all my imperfections and looked natural. It also didnt feel heavy and seemed to give my skin a smooth look. It would stay put and lasted the whole day! My skin feels healthy and I believe it is a little less oily! I haven't noticed anything different about my pore size but perhaps thats too early for it. I cannot find anything unpleasant about this experience! Once this tube is used up I am going to buy me some more!!
