Garnier BB Cream - Sensitive Review - Medium

So I'm an au natural girl when it comes to skincare, although less holistic with makeup, as I love good coverage. For the last few months I've been battling with extremely sensitive skin - dry, itchy, red, sore, inflamed. Not pretty at all to see in the mirror.

So I was excited as a kid in a candy store to trial the Garnier sensitive bb cream.

Day 1: Applied a little test spot just in case of reaction. No itchiness or dry patches. So far so good! Day 2: Got too excited applied a little too much, so it was shiny to start, but blended easily & covered my redness. Felt super smooth to touch & lasted all day, only needing a light finishing powder at 3pm. Day 3: My boss commented on how my skin was looking better. She's right! It's making such a remarkable difference in such a short amount of time. Day 6: All "cracked" ezcema around my nose & jaw has cleared & I realised under my eyes look less tired too.

It has really lived up to it's name in regards to soothes, smoothing & reducing redness. I was really blown away how quickly it worked, as not even Dr prescribed medications did that. I've already been recommending to clients & will absolutely buy again.

My only concern was I felt a little yellow, however I learnt this actually helps create the illusion of less redness. It would be nice to have an extra light shade available for us super ivory girls.

I really like this cream. I used a Garnier BB cream in the past and didn't like texture/the way it applied to the skin.

This cream is much smoother and easier to apply. It hydrates and gives a good complexion the whole day (I have quite dry skin so perfect for me). Really like this and will probably continue to use after my trial pack has run out.

Finally a tinted moisturiser for sensitive skin! A bit overwhelming at first glance though, the amount of writing on the box is like a small novel! The first thing I noticed was it mentioned fragrance free however it smells exactly like sun cream! It is about the same greasiness too. However it has great coverage, easy to apply from a squeeze bottle,. I used it once a day in the morning post shower and it did the trick as a base coat for makeup.however I am not 100% it did all it claimed in regard to fixing blemishes etc! but with continued use I feel it would. Depending on price and availability I would probably buy this again.

I was a bit cautious about trying this product as I have previously heard that some BB creams can be quite orange hued when applied to fair skin. However the light was a beautiful colour and matched my skin tone well. I found the consistency to be interesting, it almost felt a wee bit moussey when applied to the skin, but the finish is great. I did find that I needed to powder this a wee bit as it did look a little shiney, but I think that it would be fine in summer when a 'healthy glow' is more acceptable. I would wear this product on 'no make-up' days with a bit of mascara and feel put together.

I have never used this before so I was so keen to try it. It gave me wonderful coverage, I wore it to the gym (to mimic a hot sweaty day) it was great. I usually feel my foundation when I sweat but this BB cream was as light as air. I also tried it under normal foundation as a primer and my foundation went on smoother than before. I will be definitely be buying this from now on.

I was excited to try this product. I found it gave quite good coverage except for blemishes but i just touched them up with my foundation.Its a little shiny for me so had to use a powder after it. It didn't react to my skin which was great and kept my skin hydrated for me all day even with the powder so I was happy. Did find it messy to use as i normally use a foundation brush.

Generally I have very oily skin but am also very sensitive so can have breakouts or rashes in relation to makeup quite quickly however that never happened with this cream. It was great for my sensitive skin and didn't cause any breakouts. I used it as a foundation and I found it light and easy to apply with a smooth even consistency. It has a pleasent light fragrance, it smells like spring flowers but very subtly. It has a full matte like co stage but isn't thick and uncomfortable like other foundations I have previously used and was great cause it lasted all day even in the rain. I am very big on budgeting so would normally only get my makeup at factory sales etc. And don't generally spend more than $10 on a specific product however I do think it's worth the price in comparison to similar products. The packaging was very appealing as I found it attracted me somewhat to the product and the actual tube itself was great as it was easy to squeeze out the desired amount without it squirting everywhere. It did exactly as it claimed, it gave me a natural looking completion with a slight radiating shimmer and covered up even the dark circles under my eyes that I normally battle with. I would highly recommend this product and infact I already have.

I have tried other BB creams before and found them to be very oily looking, not long wearing and they didnt work well with other makeup items. However, this BB cream has changed my views about using a BB cream. It has a nice coverage, without feeling sticky or oily like other BB creams i have used. It works well with other products such as concealers and powders. It promises to "reduce redness, soothe, hydrate, correct blemishes, even skin tone, illuminate complexion and provide UV protection". I felt that this product did what it promised and very well. My skin feels so smooth and my annoying spots have cleared up. I also suffer from really red skin and it has helped reduce my redness dramatically and it evened my skintone dramatically. I had no idea that a make up product could be so good for your skin! Highly reccomend it.

I found this product great, although I am having some problems with my skin at present so am not sure if I broke out due to the product or just due to the skin problems. It went on very smoothly and I have very pale skin which it blended into very nicely. All and all a good and very handy product especially for mums on the run who just want a little coverage and to blur any signs of a long night with the baby the night before :)
