Garnier BB Cream - Sensitive Review - Medium

I have enjoyed using this product. It feels very soft on your skin and comes out quite thick so when applying it, it feels almost like a heavy-duty moisturiser. It doesn't clump on dry patches like some other similar products, but I did find that I had to be careful applying it around the eye area because it did sting a little. I wanted to try this product because I have sensitive skin that can become quite dry and sore, especially in winter, and I did find that this product was mostly gentle enough for me to use.

I liked that It didn't wear off during the day. Normally, I would apply a foundation or a powder over BB Cream, but I really liked the way this looked on it's own. It gives quite summery, healthy glow and evens out any redness or pigmentation. It also works well with your other make-up, as I found that my eye make-up didn't smudge hardly at all over the course of the day.

I would really recommend this BB Cream to people who are prone to getting dry skin over winter. If you want to avoid using a heavy foundation during this time of year because it affects or irritates your skin, then this product could be a really good choice. It claims to hydrate your skin and I have found that to be very true. I think the quality of my skin actually improved over the course of this trial. It might not be suitable for everyone, possibly people with extremely sensitive skin, but in general it has worked very well for me.

This product is perfect for a quick fix on days where you aren't wanting a full face of make up but want to cover your imperfections a little. It goes on smoothly leaving your skin feeling great, and provides a great base for putting thicker make up on top if you wish.

The tube is a convenient size, not too large but as you only need to use a very small amount will still last you a decent amount of time.

The one negative I had was that it smelt of sunscreen. The fact that it is SPF15 is obviously a positive but I was not a fan of the smell.

In the winter I tend to have a more sensitive skin with some redness. I got medium coverage, I would always use a mineral foundation over top. It is light weight, a natural look, easy to apply. My skin felt soft and hydrated, I would certainly use this again and recommend it to friends, its a great product at a great price

♥♡ LOVE!! wow what a great product! So I have used this just over a week now applying as part of my daily morning routine. The consistency is light and moussey which I found easy to apply and it gave great coverage while evening out the redness on my face. It didnt feel heavy or caked on or make me hot like foundation tends to. Theydthing that appealed to me most though was that I got a sweat up every morning in the gym while wearing it and it stayed on! I will be buying more when this runs out but becauseyou only use a small amount I wont need to for a whiler yet!

Overall I found this product satisfactory. I didn't get any tingle of my skin when I put it on - which normally indicates if I will react to a product or not. Definitely suitable for sensitive skin. The cream was light, neutral smelling and easy to rub in, however the first time I used it, I squeezed out way too much and spent quite a while trying to rub in the productevenly. Quite sheer coverage (as to be expected) but I was able to increase the coverage a little by the amount I used. The coverage lasted about half the day, so you would need to apply it several times for a consistent look. It is fine for someone who wants quite sheer coverage, but it definitely does nto 'perfect' your skin. I would use it again during the day, especially when rushed in the morning, but not at night when I would prefer the better coverage and staying power of a foundation.

I frequently use a BB cream as light coverage for the gym and a primer/base for my foundation. However this BB cream fell slightly short. The consistency was mildly runny but looked nicely coloured when squeezed onto finger tips, it applies/blends easily onto skin, however the coverage fell short, i have combination skin with lots of freckles and rosacea of the checks. Other BB creams i have used can cover this nicely, but i felt the Garnier was too light. The fragrance was light as I did not detect a smell when applying cream. I mostly used this as a primer/base for foundation so i cannot judge the longevity, however the coverage felt quite sheer, so may rub off easily.It is a very affordable product, around half the price of other BB creams on the market, so good for a student budget. The packaging is nice and simple also very compact, with an appropriate squeeze bottle for the product. I would recommend it to a friend who is possibly new to using BB creams or prefers the sheer, light makeup look. I would possibly purchase again if i could not afford my normal Liole Triple the solution BB cream as the price is reasonable for someone on a student budget. Also the product is an affective base/primer.

The only thing I used on my skin for this week long trial was Garnier BB cream for sensitive skin- light. It covered well and definitely reduced my redness. It was easy to put on which I just did with my finger tips. Because it's meant to be a 'one step' beauty cream and hydrate your skin for 24 hours I didn't use my regular moisturizer. However I found after several days that my skin had dry patches. As I continue to use it I'd use both my moisturizer and the BB cream together. I also had problems reading the very small writing on the box it came in. It seems a very good price at $18. The colour was very good for me, natural and not too heavy. I do have sensitive skin and it didn't irritate at all. It's great that it's fragrance free.

When I first opened it I noticed the BB Cream was very thick. It was in a cute easy bottle and smelt rather nice

The first Time I put it on, I found the thickness of it really had to blend in evenly, it ended up being blotchy (I used a flat top brush). I took it off before I left the house because It felt heavy and didn't look 'flawless'.

I tried it again, this time I used a primer underneath and it seemed to work better, I felt like it absorbed more into my skin rather than looking thick on top of my skin. So I left the house wearing it :P

I also noticed it did not correct my uneven skin tone, my redness was still very noticeable, and other BB Creams of similar price or even lower (MUA BB cream & Australis CC Cream) work much better than this as well as having the same results everytime.

For the sensitive part, I noticed it didn't affect my skin (which a lot of products do) so that was rather handy.

I think the colour and texture of it needs to be looked at again because it has potential to be a good product but for now I would not buy it, use it or recommend it at this stage.

This product is really great. At first I was a little hesitant as the bottle said light and the colour of the cream looked quite dark for my skin tone, but it blended well and matched my skin tone perfectly. The coverage wasn't as good as a foundation on it's own, but is good for everyday coverage. The texture of the cream was quite oily, but provides a matte finish once applied to your skin. After a week of using the product, I found the condition of my skin to be softer, with less redness. Overall this is a great product for everyday use, and reduces the need for a separate moisturiser and foundation.
