Garnier BB Cream - Sensitive Review - Medium

Have been using this cream for a week now and i really like it .It really reduced some of my red blotches on my skin and with using this product, afterwards putting on some blusher over it, the redness totally disapeared ! The only little negative thing i find is, that it could have more of a nicer smell as it doesn t smell of anything ? well some people prefer that, but i love if my creams to smell nice with a mayby hint of vanilla of something?It went on evenly and gave me a smooth glowing finish too , so i would buy this again and use it over summer as it also has UV protection SPF 15 in it ! Which is great if you forget your sunblock on your face ....at least your skin is alittle protected !

I was a little sceptical that this product would deliver on its promises but now wish I had tried it sooner.

The packaging is clear, tidy and outlines the goodness within. The tube itself is compact (in a good way) with a top that clicks shut with a satisfying snap - no leaking into handbag accidents here.

The texture of the cream is "light sunscreen" creamy consistency and glides on easily using your fingertips. It is also absorbed into your skin well, leavening no residue but a lovely Matt finish.

I was worried it wouldn't deliver as a moisturiser as I can have dry skin, but I was happily impressed when my skin felt hydrated all day. None of that tight dry feeling you can get after cleansing.

Coverage was great, not too thick but more than I had anticipated (which was great). I noticed a real improvement in the texture of my skin when wearing this product as opposed to not wearing.

Being a stay at home Mum I no longer need (or have time) to apply a lot of make up but still want to appear "presentable" should I go out or have visitors. This BB cream provides a nice even base to my skin without the need to apply foundation as well. A little mascara and blush and I'm good to go.

I found this product easy to use and would buy again. I have recommended it to some other Mums as well.

I have been using this Bb Cream over the last two weeks. I have noticed it goes on very smoothly, doesn't leave any marks and is a good shade for my skin tone. I used the light shade. I have found that it stays on very well and looks quite natural it lasts me a 10 hour working day well. As for coverage i would say its light but build able to medium coverage.

I am in love with this product and its amazing price! I have oily combination skin that tends to have really dry patches at the same time (weird I know), but is also quite sensitive. I found this product moisturised the dry areas without enhancing the oily parts. It is very thick but super spreadable I would use an amount smaller than a 10c coin and that would cover my whole face and neck. Dries to a nice dewy finish, with light to medium coverage. And I found it would last all day long! Looks good in the little package as well and is easy to squirt out just enough so no wastage! The only thing I did notice was I am getting little areas of breakouts more than I would normally have, I can't be sure this is from the product alone or due to the seasons changing but will continue to keep an eye on. Definitely worth purchasing!

I have trialed this product for a good 5 out of 7 days, 4 of which were long days in retail. I found that this BB Cream applied evenly, felt smooth and like I was wearing next to nothing on my skin. I've not liked many BB creams I've tried, I much prefer foundations, but this one ticks all the boxes and I will definitely be using it regularly. It doesn't have the exact coverage I would go for at the moment, but this will be well-used in the summer when I want a lighter coverage. When I did need more coverage I found using a concealer with the BB cream was more than sufficient. Colour-wise, I received the 'light' shade, and was concerned this wouldn't be light enough, as I am a reputable ghost complexion, but this was fine - a wee bit on the dark side (if at all), but hardly noticeable at all when it was evenly applied, as it's a sheer coverage. My skin in general appeared brighter, evened, and almost like an airbrushed version of myself. I also LOVE the consistency - not runny, almost a mousse-like cream. Lovely and thick on the hand, so it's physically easy to use, yet it blends out so evenly and isn't thick at all on the face. My sensitive skin was also well happy with this, I had no breakouts (as I often do with face products), and my skin was well moisturised throughout the day (it also has a tendency to dry out). Will definitely purchase when I run out!

This product is an all round great product to use. It is not to thick, has a nice texture and is easy to apply. It is really smooth on application and has good coverage. Can not compare to a foundation as that is not the overall purpose of it. It is great for what it is supposed to do, I I liked to use it for those non make up days, as it still smoothed out any redness or bumps. I would recommend this to a friend

I have oil/dry sensitive skin so found that it gave a very light coverage (couldn't be worn on it on) but did leave my skin hydrated and drew (illuminates). While it says it hydrates for 24 hours, the most I had it on my skin was for 12 hours and it was hydrated before I washed my face (at night). While a lot came out of the bottle, I found that you did need a few layers. Due to the change of season's I found I've had several breakouts, & I didn't feel that it reduces redness or corrected blemishes.

My Skin Type: Im dry like the Sahara with a few dry patches around my nose area. To combat this I’m a bit of a product junkie and so this product is applied on top of serums, moisturiser AND a primer.

For me a BB needs to lean more towards the moisturiser side rather than foundation.

With the Garnier BB cream lets be real… This is a foundation. Straight up. It is a VERY thick formula. Much more so than any other foundation I own. Because of this thickness I applied with a synthetic buffing brush and blended til it felt like me arm was going to fall off.

Application was good, no noticeable areas of patchiness. But this is ORANGE. I have the shade medium which has a very strong orange undertone that made it unwearable for me during the day. When wearing it at night I had to take it all down my neck, over my ears etc etc just to blend in.

This smells like sunscreen which is expected from a BB cream. Its not unpleasant but noticeable.

Coverage is medium. Much better than I expected from a BB, so much so that for me it crossed the line into foundation town. The thickness, the application needed to blend it, the coverage… it’s a foundation.

With that in mind, I reviewed this as such. For a foundation lasting power was ok, a good few hours wear but by the end of the day it was clinging to my dry patches. Would I reach for It over my regular foundations? No. Would it do if I didn’t have anything else? Yes.

The big positive of this is that the finish is really lovely. Satin and skinlike with a nice glow. If you have normal skin this will look beautiful.

The BB aka Foundation comes in a sqeezy tube which gives good value for money (as you can get every drop) but it made it easy to push out too much. Surprised it runs so cheap! Good value for money – a nice choice for a first timer in the foundation world.

I don’t think the product does what it says – mostly because it isn’t skincare with a touch of foundation; its foundation with a touch of skincare. Having not worn this product for a long enough time I can’t speak to whether any of the skincare claims stand up. Nor is it easy to talk about the sensitive factor as I have nothing to really compare it with. In saying that, I didn’t have any adverse reaction nor did it break me out.

Overall it’s a nice foundation; not the best I’ve tried but also not the worst. It isn’t a BB cream.

Garnier, don’t put BB on the packaging just for the marketing hype… Thanks.

I have very sensitive skin and my skin did not react at all to this product. I found it very hydrating with a nice creamy texture. I used it during my recent holiday to the US and it was nice to wear something light instead of full foundation. It gave a lovely bright and fresh colour, dampening down my red cheeks. However, the make up coverage only lasts for a couple of hours (particularly in warm weather), so if you're wanting to cover any spots or flaws I'd recommend also using a concealer. It works quite similar to a tinted moisturiser, but added benefit is that it has an SPF. The product would be worth having in your makeup bag for weekend or holiday-use where you don't want to have full coverage. I'd rather use something heavier for work.
