Garnier BB Cream - Sensitive Review - Medium

I'd not used a BB cream before. I have dry sensitive skin, so it made sense to try the sensitive skin type, I also chose the colour light. Packaging is pretty basic – the box is typical of supermarket packaging with a lot of text plastered over it, and the tube itself is a regular plastic tube, easy enough to use and control flow. The consistency is nice – looks quite thick and creamy yet when applied to the skin (I used fingers) it easily blends out like your moisturiser would. The coverage is definitely sheer – remember this is by no means a foundation, even though at first glance before applied to skin it looks like one. The finish to me was nor matte or dewy – an in between if you can imagine. I then used my bronzer on top - this was easily applied and sat well over the BB Cream, and gave me the extra colour that I needed.

Verdict.. Yes it definitely worked well re the sensitive skin, it did not irritate at all. And yes it did feel hydrating and illuminating on applying, also great that it contains UV protection. It did even my skin out to a certain degree – but not to the point where I thought wow - this stuff is amazing! I found the end result after a few hours of wear was my face felt greasy and shiny – I wanted to either smooth it out or just wash it off. I personally feel that BB Creams actually are not designed to correct a blemished skin.. I think they suit and look perfect on an already perfect skin.

My very first impression when squeezing this out was ........woah, very watery. Unlike other BB creams including the Anti Age range of Garnier, that are creamier, I wasnt expecting it to come out so fast. The application of it was much the same where it seemed watery on application also. Following on suit with the wateryness of the product, it was a very sheer cover. Very light but also very sheer. As this was so sheer it was hard to see if this lasted the distance of the day as it claims. Definetly parts of my face looked smoother but the spider veins definelty still showed through. I must admit I was quite impressed that something so light still had an SPF in it, which is a great feature for someone just wanting a very light touch of cover but with the added benefit of sunscreen. My personal preference is a slightly thicker cover but I would not hesitate to use this as a quick base before adding some mineral powder to it. But I have very small broken capillaries and this failed to cover these and I would prefer my BB cream to at least cover these. I dont this is the BB cream I would be buying in the future - I might recommend this to someone who wanted a very light cover

This BBcream has a lovely texture, blends well, smells fresh/maybe slightly like sunscreen (but not offensive at all), leaves skin soft and smooth feeling.

It does not have much coverage at all - and any coverage it does have pretty much disappeared within and hour or two on me.

Good for those with pretty perfect skin to start, but I would not recommend for someone that needs a little more help in the coverage area (unless you team it with concealer/powder also). Ideal for those days when you don't really need makeup.

My only gripe & its more of a personal one is that I am allergic to 'salicyclic acid' and the sensitive version of this BB cream has it.

I have the Anti-Ageing version of this BB Cream and from what I can see it doesn't include salicyclic acid.

I prefer the Anti-Ageing version, and will buy the Anti-Ageing one again as it does everything this one does but without the blemish fighting ingredient - which I personally don't need anyway.

I have never really enjoyed BB creams. They were always far too orange for my skin tone, and made me look oily. However, i enjoy this BB cream. I have it in the shade light, which is a reasonably good match for my skin tone! It will be a summer BB cream though for me. The coverage is what I expect for a BB cream, so not enough for me. But on a good day I could possibly just use this and a powder, but that is also to be expected! It is nowhere near as shiny as the first garnier BB cream I tried, but still has a shine factor, which I tone down with powder. Overall, I quite enjoy this product, and it looks like it is good value for money! The packaging is great, and I will definitely be using this in the summer months to come.

I have sensitive, oily/combination skin. I got this product in Light which matches my pale, cool-toned complexion pretty well. It is perhaps half a shade too orange, but not enough to worry about.

Application: The packaging is a squeeze tube which is easy and hygienic. The product goes on well with just fingers, but I did buff it in afterward to blend well around the hairline. Upon application, this had that sunscreen smell about it, but after a few minutes I couldn't smell it anymore.

Finish: When first applied, this gave my skin a dewey finish. But it dried down after 10 minutes to a more natural finish. Although, as I have oily skin, I prefer a more matte finish. The coverage is sheer. It evens out the skin tone, but doesn't do a great job of covering blemishes.

Final thoughts: I will use this on "lazy days" when I just want quick and easy light coverage. It doesn't irritate my sensitive skin and does a good job of evening skin tone/redness.

This was the first BB Cream I have tried , and I have medium/oily skin. I would say it has the coverage of a tinted moisturiser rather than a authentic BB cream! I don't like how it takes ages to set on the skin (doesn't dry fast) and the strong fragrance it has. I would recommend this to people who have dry skin though, it would look fab! and also target this product to girls at school looking for the 'natural' look ;)

I received this product in the trial and I have tried this product for 7 days now, I instantly noticed the colouring was really off for me, I am an NC15 by mac and the colour was quite orange on me and too dark sadly.

The consistency of the product is quite thick looking when you first get it out of the tube, but when you apply it to your skin it has a strong silicone feeling. I have dry skin so I find that silicone products work for me and don't tend to slip around my face, as for imperfections that it covered since it was too dark for me I didn't want to put too much on incase I looked silly, but it did have good coverage for the small amount I put on.

I didn't like the effect that it had on my eyebrows, it made them go orange and stuck into my brow hairs.

I do have sensitive skin and I found that this didn't break me out or irritate my skin which is really good.

I have tried this with a powder over top but with the colouring being too dark for me it still didn't look the greatest - I think if they brought out a lighter colour than light it'd be awesome and i'd love to wear it all the time, I find it's probably better for summer as it has the SPF so I may have to try it again when I am fake tanned in summer.

I liked the packaging of this product it was easy to read and the colors suited it.

I found the cream to be easy to use and didnt notice an overpowering scent like some have and it was easy to apply. It left my skin looking soft and smooth and took away some of the redness.

I got so many compliments on how great my skin looked.

Definitely going to keep an eye out for this product.

Consistency is thick yet easy to blend. Maybe a little bit too glittery for my liking and found at end of the day I looked very shiny. Has good coverage and looks very natural. Good for those minimal make up days. Not my fav BB cream but still worth a try!

This product was very easy to apply - it went on very smoothly and evenly and was long lasting. Without fragrance - which is great as fragrance can be a factor in skin irritation . The colour was slightly too dark for my winter skin (medium) but probably would be ideal in summer. It did even out my complexion, but I required a finishing powder as I looked quite shiny , I didn't need any moisturiser underneath. This product would be fabulous for a dry /sensitive skin. I did enjoy wearing this product, it definitely didn't irritate my skin, which can be prone to reaction. Overall I liked but didn't love!
