Garnier BB Cream - Sensitive Review - Medium

I found Garnier miracle skin perfector BB cream - sensitive to like silk to apply and very easy to spread evenly. I found after four days my skin was so ultra smooth and my redness was gone. A negative I found was it made a patch of dry skin above my eye flakey which was very embarrassing and was asked if I had dandruff :( I think at $17.49 RRP I would definitely be willing to purchase again to use for a longer period of time to see what difference it would make to my skin. The smell was quite pleasant and didn't bother me which is nice. Usually my skin is very dry and red is the driest places but the redness certainly improved so it did what it says it will do. The surprising thing is after I workout at the gym and shower it isn't affected by sweat afterward and stays on unlike most. The coverage is pretty good and hides my problem areas except it made a patch really flakey as I said above. For the money you pay I would definitely buy it and is worth the money paid. I would recommend it to anyone with sensitive skin whos looking for a value for money product that does what it says it will.

Well here goes my first review! The product packaging was eye catching and informative, listing the properties and how to apply it. I used my regular toner and moisturiser before applying the BB cream with my fingers. It was easy to apply, no streaking, and blended well with my fair skin tone. With one coat it covered quite a bit of redness but I recommend two coats if you want extra coverage. A little went a long way, just a dab really, very economical. It leaves you with a Dewey, fresh complexion and lasted all day with me. I am prone to get reactions from some products but this cream was fine for me. I would definitely recommend this, just remember to wash your hands after applying!

I love BB cream for light make up days. Having only tried one brand before this one I was pleasantly surprised! Pop this BB cream on with a light layer of power over top, a little mascara and fill in your brows for the perfect no make-up make-up! My skin becomes oily over the day but is also super sensitive an doesn't like having a full face of make up 7 days a week so BB cream is perfect for this. Garnier BB cream was easy to apply- like moisturizer (same consistency) and has a pleasant odor. It has a medium coverage- better than a tinted moisturizer but not as much as a full blown foundation. It could last longer but for the price you can't complain really. The packaging is OK- not the most amazing but certainly not ugly.

I would recomend this to a friend with similar skin concerns to mine, however I am relatively lucky with my skin so if a friend had known break outs then perhaps not as it wouldn't provide enough coverage.

I have yet to jump on the BB cream trend, I like quite a full coverage foundation so BB creams don't really interest me to much. This is the second BB cream I have tried and I do prefer it to the other BB cream I tried (maybelline dream fresh bb cream) as it had a bit more coverage. I tried this product alone and as a base underneath my foundation kinda like a primer. The formula was easy to put on and did not bother my sensitive skin. I did find that by the end of the day my skin looked a bit oily and as I usually have dry skin this was unusual for me. If you are oily at all I would definitely suggest using the one for oily skin! Overall I found it ok but It still hasn't converted me to using BB cream for day to day wear. I think I will save it for 'make-up free' days around the house

I was pleasantly surprised with this product - it was the first BB cream I have tried and was excited to see if BB creams were as great as they have been made out to be. I have sensitive skin and some products react and make my skin go red. I found this cream didn't make my skin react at all! It has a nice creamy consistency that is easy to spread across your skin and left my skin feeling hydrated without being oily. After a few days of using this cream my skin tone became more even,had a lovely glow and my blemishes started to reduce.

My only complaints about this cream was it gave minimal/sheer coverage - this is fine for me in the weekends, however I prefer more coverage for work. I also found this product did not last long on my skin. When applied in the morning by lunchtime most of it had worn off. Using foundation over the top or setting powder helped but still did not last all day. I like my moisturisers to have some SPF in them to protect my skin against sun damage and this cream had an SPF15 which is great - however the cream did have a faint scent of sunblock to it, but it did fade shortly after it was applied to my skin. My last complaint was the colour - I tried the light colour as I have fair skin (often use nude/ natural beige foundation colours) and found it bordered on too light for my skin tone. Using a bit of foundation/powder over the top did help correct this.

Overall for the price I think this is a good product to replace normal moisturisers and made my skin look more radiant and evened my skin tone more than a normal moisturiser would. I would recommend this product to someone who wants a BB cream that works without having to spend a fortune on it.

So to begin with I think I need to make it very clear that I have horribly hot, red, flakey - Sensitive skin. Now lets begin... Day 1. WOWSA! I was so in love. It felt a little oily applying it to my face. But minutes later had dried to almost a powder like consistency. Even after an 8 hour shift in a hot stuffy air conditioned call centre I still looked exactly the same when I arrived home that night - BLISS a product that works and is affordable! Day 2. After being at work for a few hours my skin became little itchy and dry. After another hour of it frustrating me I had to call it quits and rinse my face. I noticed that my skin had gone very flakey with the BB cream still on. I was slightly deflated. On the 3rd day I decided on a breather. Day 4. Fantastic. Exact results as day 1 - no irritation, flawless over my heated red toned skin and this was using nothing except the Garnier BB Cream. So after continuing day on day off I was still Super impressed with the out come of this glorious little tube of magic. However, although it is for sensitive skin it still irritated mine on the second day, causing my skin to dry out majorly. For the amount of time that I require or feel the need to wear make up ( once maybe twice a week) this product is ideal. When it is on my face I feel - I feel pretty. Not red blotchy Amy or spotty Amy or even Flakey Amy ( she's the one I dislike the most! ). And lets not forget the comments that come along with it at work! They were fantastic. Would I buy this again - Yes! Did it do what it said it would... well... to the best ability such an affordable product could yes. I am really really greatful to have had the chance on the great BB trial and have truely enjoyed putting this product to the test. Thanks BR xx

As per title this was my first BB cream to try. I liked how it was yellow based not pink based like most BB creams are, although it was a tad too dark for my skintone. I have blemished skin so it didn't provide a lot of cover for me so I ended up using it underneath a medium coverage foundation. This BB cream would be good for unblemished skin to give a nice glow and natural coverage. Thumbs up to the fact it didn't irritate my lovely sensitive skin :)

The words on the packaging really hyped up this product e.g. 'miracle skin perfector' so I was looking forward to the trial. I applied it with my fingers and it was a smooth moisturising consistency. It felt like putting moisturiser on which is great on my dry skin. I found it very sheer and definitely does not cover imperfections and blemishes, however it did even out my skin tone. I like a high coverage so I applied foundation over the top. I did find my skin glowed more and was illuminating. I felt like my skin stayed hydrated longer and foundation was less cakey. The UV protection will be good for summer. Also importantly I have dry sensitive skin and experienced zero irritation. It did not smell strong, just a little bit like sunblock which I love as it reminds me of Summer. It is a nice product and I will continue to use before my foundation.

Im not saying this product was bad and didn't do what it say it would but although it was very soft and gentle on my skin, which normally has patches of really dry patches as well as a few blemishes and reacts easily to shampoo's or other products leaving it with a red inflamed area. However it was very light coverage so it didn't properly cover any blemishes without using concealer as well and left you with a slightly wet looking face with an creamy texture to it so i generally used powder over top of it. The application was rather easy just like any other bb cream or foundation you would normally use. I found that the product didn't last a full 12 hour day at work but would be good for going out to the beach or summer due to the UV protection in it.
