Garnier BB Cream - Sensitive Review - Medium

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.

The first thing i noticed about this product was that it glides on so easy that i didn't have to use much of the product. It smells alright but smells a little like sunscreen. Has a light coverage which is good for my sensitive skin and doesn't agitate it. A great everyday makeup

My first try of a BB cream and I liked the product. It was light and easy to apply.

However the major problem for me is that it is too dark for my skin and I really need to blend it in to a point it is hardly giving me coverage. I got the pale skin but I am quite pale and it is still darker than my skin.

As long as I blend it in and be careful not to wear too much it seems to be ok.

I would recommend testing this before buying it :)

That being said it felt nice on my skin and is very easy to apply!

I initially brought this product at a makeup sale thinking it would be great. I have tried other bb creams, such as Clinique age defense bb cream and the maybelline one, and have found the garnier bb cream to be ok. I mean I would have liked better coverage but given the price I paid I was quite pleased with the results. I found the texture of this product to be quite creamy and light which made it easy for me to apply onto my skin, but it did not give a better coverage than the clinique bb cream. I also found that after a few hours my skin was noticeably shiny with using this product. It may not be for all but personally for me with my combination skin I wouldn't be rushing out to buy this product again.

I actually liked this, I have never used a BB cream before so had no idea what to expect. I put it on in the morning just as I would a moisturiser as it said to on the box... found I used wayyyy too much and had to do a mad wipe off but then rubbed it it and it was good

Not really awesome coverage but would be fine for a natural look. if you have blemishes or marks I would use this under your regular powder foundation as it didn't really cover them fantastically it just kind of blurred them a little bit.

I did feel as though it was starting to slip off my face in some areas later in the day and I have by no means oily skin so that was a bit disconcerting but after having a squizz in the mirror it still looked pretty darn good and my work mates all said it looked the same as when I started (I asked for honest opinions as I was reviewing it)

I had no reactions to this at all and my skin was lovely with no dry areas all day! BONUS!!!!

All in all I think it was pretty good Less is more for this particular BB cream

*the tube it is in is actually pretty convenient as you could just throw it in your bag for after the gym, pool, sports ect very easy and transportable and the lid is very secure

I found the BB cream a little to oily for my liking. It had a light to medium coverage which was good for during the weekends etc when I didn't want to wear a full face!

I also used it under a foundation during the week and found it to be good as a primer / moisturiser.

Would not use again due to the oiliness.

I enjoyed the idea of putting the cream on daily as a moisturiser and having the slight foundation/colour in it was great as it easy to put on (just like a moisturiser) and gave a slight cover! The sensitive cream is made for people with sensitive skin to reduce redness/blemishes/hydrate - the cream did not do all these things it stated on the packaging that it would after first use. After using it for a longer timeframe(1-2weeks) i began to notice when i wasnt wearing it that it was leaving my skin slightly less dehydrated. I gave it a try wearing it under my foundation and normal make up but it left my skin looking quite wet and greasy around my forehead, nose and cheeks. I would continue to use this daily as a moisturiser but won't be trying it with my make up again! :)

I was really excited about trailing this product, as I have never used a BB cream and wanted to see what the fuss was all about.

The consistency was quite creamy, making it really easy to put on and blend in. I mostly used my fingers, but then had a go with my Sigma F80 brush, and it went on even better! The smell was fairly subtle and not unpleasant, I didn't really notice it.

As I am normally around a medium, I didn't think there would be any problem with the shade, especially in a BB cream, but it was far too dark for me. So I had to make sure to blend it all in really well, and I never put on more than a sheer layer. But it did look really good under my foundation. The SPF was an added bonus though.

I kept making the mistake of squirting too much out, but once I got the hang of it, I am pretty sure that it will last quite a while. I'm not 100% sold that this does everything it claims. While it definitely makes my skin seem smoother, and doesn't flake at all (a real problem with my super dry skin) I haven't yet noticed any reduced redness, corrects blemishes, and it can feel a little powdery after an hour or two. I would probably give it another go in summer when the shade might look better on me, or possibly even try the light shade, although I think I would rather spend the $17.49 trying another brand. I do have very sensitive skin, and often come up with rashes and itchiness with many products, but I definitely did not suffer from any of this with this BB cream.

The packaging (box) has a lot of information on it, but I didn't find the tube itself very attractive. Im not sure if it was that the colour of it made it look outdated or something else, but I lean towards the colour.

To wind it up, I would recommend this to friends with sensitive skin issues, but I would advise them to make sure they can get the shade that would suit them, as the medium really is quite dark.

I am Nc25 and and medium its a perfectly on my skin. This BB cream go along with my dry sensitive skin. Its doesnt make any flaky skin on my face neither shine my face. Provided sheer coverage some people might need concealer. Comes with tube packaging which is good for hygiene. The good thing is no smell at all. Overall this is a good BB cream that provide different options for everyone
