Garnier BB Cream All-In-One Perfector Oil Free SPF 25 (vault shade: medium)

To start with, I just have to say I am impressed with the new cardboard bottle - it actually feels nicer than plastic, and of course is better for the environment.

The BB cream itself is great. It goes on so easily, and doesn't leave my face feeling greasy, or like I even have make up on, which is super important to me. I got 'light', which would probably be better as a winter shade for me, but I just chucked a little powder over the top to give me the colour I needed.

It seems to stay on well throughout the day- - a little hard to judge as the constant mask wearing, and the sweating that that causes, changes the game a little.

Towards the end of the day my forehead was a little oily, but that is normal for me anyway - I don't think the BB cream made this any worse.

All in all, I think this is will now be my preferred BB cream - the SPF 25 is a HUGE bonus for me too.

I was super pumped to try this product as I love BB creams and I love Garnier products so was convinced this would be a win for me! Unfortunately I wasn’t that impressed.

First impressions of the packaging, very impressed that they’ve managed to move away from the plastic tubes to recycled cardboard. Anything to help the environment without sacrificing product quality is a win for me! The tube is very solid, I threw it in my handbag and not only did it not bend, but the lid also didn’t pop open and let product out everywhere. Such a win!

The product itself is very easy to apply, but like any standard BB cream doesn’t give great coverage unless you apply a couple of layers. I got the light shade, however it came out of the tube looking super orange! It eventually blended into my face but I felt like I could still see some orange tinges which is definitely a no from me. It had a weird fragrance to it which I felt was quite overpowering.

The ultimate test for me was trying to cover up a face full of sunburn. The BB cream took a little bit of the red away, but not much else. I think the formula is a little too thin to provide much coverage without building up heaps of layers.

I found this gave me a few more breakouts than I would have liked, which was disappointing given it’s got hyaluronic acid. I found I was having to wash my face more which also aggravated it more and meant I had to use more BB cream. A bit of a vicious cycle!

Overall, I don’t think this BB cream was for me. The formula was a bit thin and orange for my liking. I personally would benefit from a thicker formula.

I was lucky enough to trial this product through BR. Firstly the packaging, the box is pretty stock standard but inside is a new type of tube made of cardboard and using less plastic than it's predecessor which is great. The tube is 50ml so standard size for a moisturiser. The cream itself is quite thin and has a quite strong scent, it's not unpleasant but it's not particularly nice either, just a very cosmetic smell, worth noting if you're sensitive to fragrance. Application is super quick and easy, I found using my fingers worked well but needed to wash my hands afterward. The coverage is very subtle, it really just helps to even things out but it's not going to hide anything. I have hyperpigmentation on my forehead and that was still very visible. I tried layering the product in problem areas but didn't have much success. It's perfect for just popping on to run a few errands but definitely not going to replace your favourite foundation. It's a nice fuss free option for getting out the door in a hurry or when a ni makeup look is on the cards.

I received the All-In-1 perfector BB cream for combination to oily skin in the shade light. Initially I had very high expectations for this product as it claims to even, correct, mattify and hydrate skin while providing SPF protection.

I really liked how eco-friendly the packaging of this product was. It was quite nice to see a big company like Garnier switching to more responsible and sustainable packaging.

I was very excited to try this product as it seemed perfect for summer road trips when you want that easy effortless look. I wouldn’t recommend this product on its own without an additional sunscreen base as SPF25 is not enough to protect our skin for summer. I did like how mattifying and blurring it was.

I expected the product to be very hydrating as it contains hyaluronic acid and aloe vera extract but it was quite drying and it would cling to the dry patches on my cheeks. It was very light weight and had coverage. It was enough to even out my skin but the coverage was not buildable.

Unfortunately, this product broke me out so I don’t think I will be repurchasing. As it is a drugstore BB cream, I found that the undertone was quite pink and didn’t suit someone like me with a yellow undertone.

Overall, I really enjoyed trying out this product and I think it will be perfect for summer but would not recommend if you have sensitive skin.

I have been a big fan of Garnier's BB creams since they very first came on the scene and I have been using the combination/oily skin version since I can remember. So of course to see a new and improved version out was super exciting! I use this product for my work week for just a bit of lightweight coverage and this new version did just as good a job as the original for hiding my pesky large pores, leaving my skin looking naturally more radiant and with less imperfections. I wear it over top of my usual moisturiser and sunscreen and it applies just like a regular moisturiser. It spreads nicely and blends super easily with just my fingertips and doesn't feel like I am wearing makeup at all. I pop a wee bit of powder over too just to set everything in place. I found the original and the new version to be very similar with just a couple of differences. The new version boasts mineral pigments and hyaluronic acid so I can't help but feel like it might be better for my skin. It also leaves more of a dewy complexion that coupled with my very oily complexion had me running for the powder in a couple of hours. I'm not deducting points for this though because for many peoole a dewy complexion is makeup goals! If I had a choice I'd probably buy the original over this new version, but if Garnier was to ditch the old completely, I'd be happy with this as a replacement. This is such a great affordable option for those that don't want a heavy makeup look or a cakey feel and a tube lasts for a decent amount of time.

I got the chance to try the new Garnier BB cream.

First impression: it’s in cardboard packaging which is amazing. It still has a plastic cap with a small nozzle which makes it easy to get a small amount out.

It has a light fragrance which is neither here nor there, it’s fine. The texture is creamy, just like a standard moisturiser. I got the shade light, and on first use I thought it was still a bit dark but I think it blended in well.

I have worn this by itself and also over sunscreen, and it lasted really well all day. It smoothed out my complexion, and was really light. I just wore this with mascara and even popping out wearing a mask it didn’t wear off.

I would definitely get this again, it didn’t get oily, kept my skin fairly hydrated, and had good coverage for a lazy weekend :)

I really like the regular Garnier BB cream and have used it a lot in the past however it doesn't always help with the oil issue so I was excited to receive this product and see the results!

I found the consistency a lot more watery/runny than the original one and didn't seem to blend in as well as the original. I had the light color yet found this was not a good match to my skin and made it look somewhat orange.

It lasted a few hours which was good and did help with the excess oil I can get at times so that was good however I would like a better match to my skin which this did not deliver on.

It does leave the skin feeling nice and light and not the caked on feeling that foundation can do.

I probably wouldn't buy this again and just stick to the original formula.

Price range is reasonable and this would last quiet awhile before having to get a new one.

I have used this daily since I received it and have used it in a couple of different ways. On days I wanted light coverage I used it on its own and it did not seem to get too oily despite having oily/combination skin. On days I wanted fuller coverage I wore my foundation over the top, although not quite as smooth as a primer it was a good base to start with and my foundation lasted well. Also I had some sunny days during that time and it did seem to protect me from the sun. I also found the packaging appealing as it is working towards a more sustainable product. My only negative is that it has a reasonably strong fragrance and I prefer less fragrance.

I have worn this BB cream non-stop since receiving it! It's been great for this time of year with the extra SPF protection. I usually have very oily skin and I was surprised how matte yet glowy (not the usual shine) my skin stayed throughout the day. The coverage is very natural, definitely the perfect 'no-makeup' makeup look. It truely looks like your real skin!! You only need a small amount and it's very easy to blend. No streaks or patchy areas! Also, I was impressed on first application when the formula didn't oxidise (something I often find with other BB creams). I will be re-purchasing this product.
