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.

BB Cream Be mine!

Love it ! This cream is amazing. It helps with the "problem areas' and allows my skin to look the best it can without being covered up. This cream goes on easily and smoothly, flows over my face. It covers evenly and blends in so there are no lines. I love the dewy soft look I get when I use it, no shiny oil clogged skin, but also doesn't leave my skin dry, its absolutely perfect! It gives me the confidence that my skin looks good without feeling like im wearing a mask. I would recommend bb creams for all age groups ( in fact I just got some for my teenager as well) . It helps you make the most of your natural skin. absolutely loving the Oil free version - leaves my skin young and supple looking. THANK YOU GARNIER!

Tips: Buy some as soon as you can!

Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector BB Cream Oil-free

In my opinion, the product was weightless, smooth, great colour match for my light skin and really easy to apply. It lasted around 7-8 hours without the need to 'touch it up' at all! The texture was smooth and silky which also made for flawless appearance. It lessened the appearance of skin flaws and was delightful to use on my very sensitive skin. I would definitely recommend this product to both young and mature skin. I would also definitely buy it again for myself. A+++

Tips: For ease of application, I found it easier to apply with a brush or light sponge. I also found that moisturising prior to application also aided in the length of time it stayed on and also to the general finished appearance.

Conflicted

Its brilliant to see Garnier is now catering to more skin types. While I am loving this product there are still a few things that are in need of a little fine tuning. To start, the slim design of the bottle is great to pop in your handbag or if you're like me and have a counter packed with products it slips in nicely without taking up much room. Unfortunately when you go to open the lid it is best to face the nozzle upwards, otherwise the procduct tends to ooze or even explode out of the tube and make a mess so be aware. The product itself is on the runny side but its smoothes on nice and evenly and it really does give great coverage, so for those who match the colour tone it could be used as your everyday makeup. It gives your skin a lovely smooth, matte look and feels very light to wear. A down side is the choice of only two shades, unfortunately the medium colour is far to dark and the light is too light for me, for this review I had the medium and had to go over with a light foundation. In conclusion it is an amazing product, if there were a few more shade options and the tube was worked on a bit more it would be close to a perfect :)

Tips: Be sure to face tip upwards and dont apply too much pressure to the tube when opening. If not quite your shade it can be easily mixed with a lighter or darker shade of BB cream or foundation to perfect. Works great as a base or primer for your regular makeup routine.

my first bb cream

this bb cream was the first bb cream i had ever tried. I think it worked rather well but sometimes it would make my skin dry out. But to be fair that was only a few times out it, most of the time it was great. Nice light coverage and barely felt like i was wearing anything. My go to replacement for foundation when i wanted to look good but kind of be good to my skin and have a more natural coverage.

Garnier BB Cream Oil-free SPF 15 - Warm shade

I was really excited to receive this product! I've been looking for a 'Tinted moisturiser' that actually keeps your skin feeling soft and moist. And sure enough, it worked! I've also noticed over the past week that my skin feels smoother, not irritable and even better no pimples (or maybe i'm having a good week?!). The packaging is great and fits nicely into my make up bag. You really don't need much for your face but beware... it is quite a runny consistency compared to your classic moisturiser or foundation. My warm shade was slightly too light for my skin tone which means it may suit my skin tone later during the winter months or I can easily use a bronzer on top to darken it up a little. Not too sure what the price point is on this product but would be happy to pay $20-30 for it. My recommendation to Garnier: Please bring out another colour shade in a warmer/darker tone.

Tips: If you don't have a concealer, this works great under your foundation for extra coverage!

Garnier Skin Perfector BB cream

This BB cream did everything as promised on the packaging it certainly hydrated and gave my skin a matte shine free effect. It had great coverage and felt lovely and light on the skin.I loved too that it still looked good at the end of the day.The only issue I had was its consistency which is very runny.

Tips: Don't leave the top off the container as with the runny consistency it ends everywhere !

Sooo in love!

I found this product pretty god damn awesome. I really like the long and narrow design of the tube - easy to hold and squeeze - and the nozzle tip made for less mess when I needed to get some BB cream out. I had the shade medium, which was perfect for my skin tone at the moment. I tried this BB cream several different ways - with/without moisturiser underneath and with finger application and foundation brush. I found that while it was great with no moisturiser underneath - it didn't seem drying at all - I do prefer with to use it moisturiser. While using my fingers gave a nice light coverage, using my foundation brush gave me a heavier coverage more to my liking. My face did need the occasional touch up later in the day in my more oil-prone spots (t-zone etc) but my face never looked shiny. The matte finish is great particularly considering I use a moisturiser with sunscreen which tends bring out the shine and even better with the added sunscreen in the BB cream. I really liked the consistency of this BB cream, I felt it made it easier for me to apply evenly - I did find that putting a nice blob on the back on my hand to work from was easier than going straight from my tube to applicator. While it didn't cover all my skin variances, I could still still bumps/freckles, it did cover the redness from a rising pimple. So I do think that if you wanted a really good coverage for skin issues area (pigmentation etc) I'm not sure that this BB cream would give the coverage needed - I would put it like a heavy tinted moisturiser almost/light foundation. I do feel like my skin is nicer in complexion, though I have put more effort in cleansing etc since I started using this BB cream, it would nice to see what my skin is like in a few more weeks and whether my pores/oiliness will have reduced. Overall I think this BB cream has become a must-have for my facial routine.

Tips: Open up with the lid pointing up, otherwise you risk BB cream escaping before you can use it. Putting the BB cream on the back of your hand gives a bigger base area to work from than having to put little bits continually from the tube.

Garnier BB Cream Oil-Free SPF 15 - Light

This is the first time i have ever used a BB Cream and i love it ! The colour is great for my skin tone and provides a great matte finish, coverage was just right for a light make up day or great for underneath foundation, covers up redness perfectly ! I have noticed improvements in my skin since using this BB cream ! it does everything is says ! I first used this BB Cream on its own for a day to test out its wear and i was pleasantly surprised, although a light coverage it stayed on all day, didnt move off my skin once it was set ( I was worried about the runny texture). When over the next few days i tried this out underneath my regular foundation and it worked amazingly, i found it dramatically improved the length of time my foundation stayed perfect for and just made it look so much better on my skin ! Overall i love this BB Cream will definitely continue use !

Tips: The product is very runny, open with caution.. it goes everywhere ! Also you dont need much, with this product a little goes a long way, but if needed coverage a second coat is very effective !

Garnier BB cream

Firstly, This is very runny. I had it kept sideways and it still leaked into the cap a little. Secondly I did like this BB cream (as a sheer foundation, I prefer Asian BB creams for their skincare properties) overall but it didn't seem to dry down to a matte finish on me and was shiny within a few hours. For reference I tend to be on the oily side of normal. The sheer coverage was somewhat buildable up to medium but not likely to do do more than even out skin tone. I didn't find this any more hydrating than a standard foundation and UV protection in cosmetics are usually negligible unless you really pile it on. The scent was inoffensive, somewhere between fresh and alcohol, and is only really noticeable if you sniff it. Unfortunately this BB cream could be rubbed off on a tissue when blotting off oil.

I received the shade light and found that it was quite yellow and (to use MAC's famous system) between NC20 and NC25. At times it did seem like a good match for my NC20, yellow Chinese skin, and at times it seemed a little dark or orange but was sheer enough to not be noticeable.

Overall I found this BB cream to be ideal for days when a quick product is needed or when my skin is fairly even.

Tips: Apply a little at a time in a patting motion for an even finish. Keep the box and store upside down to avoid leaking.
