Garnier BB Cream - Sensitive Review - Medium

I tend to have normal/ dry skin that tends to be sensitive around the eye area and have been looking for a low- medium coverage product that would suit my skin type for ages! When I was given the opportunity to trial the Sensitive Garnier BB cream I was ready to put it to the test!

First off, the packaging is sturdy with a flip top lid and squeezy tube which makes it really easy to control the amount of product that comes out. The colour of the tube is a metallic golden/ beige and whilst it's not the most eye-catching colour it's not terrible either!

Initially I was a bit weary of how thick and dark the BB cream looked when I first squeezed some out onto my finger tips! I am normally the shade medium/ medium beige in foundations and have yellow undertones and this looked much too dark for me!) However, I was pleasantly surprised when it blended easily when I used my fingers and how it actually suited my skin colour perfectly when it was on my face!

The Garnier BB cream sensitive has a gorgeous finish which is slightly dewy, making the skin look healthy and radiant. The coverage wasn't as full as I expected so I touched up with a little bit of concealer on my red cheeks but overall my skin-tone definitely appeared more even when compared to a normal moisturiser. It was also fairly moisturising too so I didn't need to wear a moisturiser under it despite my dry skin.

Throughout the day my skin didn't get oily which was a bonus, though it did seem to wear off a little after a full day out. When I tried setting it with a powder it definitely stayed on for longer! After a few days of wearing Garnier's sensitive BB cream I haven't had any flare ups and my skin seems to agree with the product well.

Overall I am very impressed with this product and have actually had a few compliments about how good my skin looks when I have been wearing this BB cream! If that's not a sign of a good product I don't know what is! :P

I got this product in the tone light. I'm so used to having to use moisturizer before any foundation due to having very dry skin but using this for the first time I was very pleasantly surprised when my skin felt smooth and soft. The consistency is odd. It comes out quite thick, but as soon as I dabbed my foundation brush onto it it turned creamy and light. I used a brush to apply it and it went on clean and smooth, I didn't need to worry about lines and rubbing it in really hard in particular places. It has a nice faint smell that I would compare to a light vanilla scent. Doesn't seem to last for ages after application, but it's not a worry. I find it has a sheer coverage and leaves my skin quite shiny, but that is easily fixed with just a light finishing powder. The product is easy to remove with just a wet face cloth, but lasts hours on your face. I got this for free during a trial, but I would definitely pay the $17.50 for this in store. The packaging is built for purpose, and the small hole in the lid allows for the perfect amount of product. My skin feels so smooth and I've never found that with any other BB cream. I would definitely recommend this product to all my friends with sensitive skin.

This was the first time iv ever used anything like this so I was both excited and nervous that I would look so silly with it on. I got the medium tone.

I started of by moisturizing my face and letting that dry up before applying the bb cream. To me it didnt feel too think or too runny when I put on my fingertips. I started of by putting on my red areas, around my nose and on my chin. Then I went on to do the rest of my face. I was really surprised by how easy it was to put on and how it blended right in with my skin. After putting it on, my face looked and felt amazing. It took away the red around my nose and my chin and you couldn't tell I had anything on which to me was really good. I was complemented on how soft and flawless my face looked which not only put a smile on my face it gave my confidence the little bit of a boost! I would definitely be buying some more of this when my one has ran out and will definitely be recommending this product to all my friends and family.

I've been playing the BB-cream game for a few years and couldn't find a European product to beat the Korean contenders. However, while Korean brands are thicker, more pigmented, and hydrating- they are always to grey/beige.

I am pleased to say I think I have discovered my new holy grail with the Garnier BB for sensitive skin.

First Impressions: You get a reasonable amount of product in the tube, it has simple packaging, and I cannot detect a scent. My initial thought as I massaged the product into the skin was how reminiscent it was of my Elizabeth Arden BB cream. It has a similar thick consistency and same hydrating, glowing finish. The only difference I noticed was that the Elizabeth Arden one is more perfumed, more pigmented, and the lightest colour is too dark.

That's another struggle I have had, trying to find a shade that matches my pale complexion. I'm usually the second shade in every foundation line and found the 'light' to be the perfect neutral pale shade that wasn't too yellow based and did not oxidise on my skin.

My favourite part of the product is definitely the finish. I wore it for 3 days (twice with foundation over top) and found it had reasonable staying power and with a little powdering didn't grease up around my nose (a trouble area).

I highly recommend this product for anyone joining the BB-cream phenomenon. It's perfect for a light and luminous finish that covers any minor discolourations and evens out your skin tone. It did not disturb my sensitive skin that often rashes out to unknown products, so stoked!

It definitely lives up to it's claims of being; - long-lasting (5ish hours with powder) - Hydrating (almost like a light moisturiser) - Light touch (Feels like you're wearing a better version of your own skin) - Flawless (it does even out your skin tone but it isn't extremely pigmented with those that need a lot to cover)

I've probably repeated myself several times because I'm bit jacked up on coffee, but overall I'm pleasantly surprised and will continue to purchase this product!

I was fortunate to have received this as a part of the trial. The packaging (box) is eye catching in black. The tube itself is much like many other BB creams, with the colour of the tube indicating the colour of the product. It is easy to dispense from the tube and comes out lovely and thick. I applied this on my face many ways to ensure I gave it a fair trial. I found that if I applied it with moisturiser and primer, it lasted much longer on my skin. It glides on easily and feels very moisturising. I chose the sensitive cream in medium colour, as my skin is quite olive and tends to be super sensitive, often ending up in dry red scaly and itchy patches. My first indicator of a reaction with a product is usually stinging within 5 or so minutes of application, and after using this product for a few days it is safe to say that I have had absolutely no problems with it which is great! The colour itself is a great match for my skin, and blended easily. The coverage was pretty good initially, hiding any redness or uneven skintone. It leaves a lovely dewy glow on my face, which I prefer much more than the matte look, especially now that fine lines are making an appearance! I did find that it didn't seem to last very well on my skin, and within 4 or so hours it had almost disappeared, unless I used a primer first. With a primer, it lasted closer to 6 hours, however my skin did feel lovely and moisturised for much longer. I would use this product again but would definitely use it with a primer. I didn't trial it under my foundation, but I intend to next time I do a full face of make up.

So I have sensitive skin and find it reacts with many different products so I am always worried when I try something new. I have used this cream everyday this week since receiving it. It creates an even base under my work make up and gives me that moisture I really haven't been putting into my skin as I don't really use a daily moisturiser. I used it for light coverage on the weekend when I don't wear make up. It is so easy and quick to apply (just like a moisturiser). It absorbs quickly into my skin and is so light it really feels like I have nothing on. I love that it has such a light fragrance I can barely smell it when I put it on. Its a nice light coverage and evens out my imperfections. The bottle is your normal easy squeeze bottle but what I like most about it is that when you hold it up to the light you can see exactly how much you have left. Awesome!! I found didn't need to re-apply it during the day but had I of gone out I may of put a little more on late afternoon just to keep that slight coverage there in. I have never used another BB cream before so I can't compare the price to others but for $17.49 I will definitely be going to buy more once this tube runs out. Thank you ladies for introducing me to this fantastic product!

I have very sensitive and oily skin, this BB cream has quite a thick consistency, that goes on so smooth. its light and doesnt make you feel like your gonna end up cakey. application is as easy as anything, just apply it like moisturiser, i applied it with my hands. and it gives a good coverage

I have been fortunate to have received the sensitive skin in a medium shade to trial from BR and have been using it for eight days now.

It comes in a 50gm size for $15-18 depending upon where you buy it. You only need a small amount so it will last quite a while therefore being great value for money.

The packaging was nice and I liked the fact that I could take the BB Cream to work with me to quickly and easily touch up any areas that may have needed it during the day. I didn't notice much of a smell to the cream either. My routine consisted of applying my daily moisuriser, waiting a couple of minutes and then applying a small amount of the Garnier BB Cream just like I would a moisturiser. I would start with a small amount of BB Cream and then applied more to the areas that I felt needed it.

It was easy to apply and gave a fairly good coverage. The medium shade suited my skin tone and blended in to give a matte finish which I liked.

I have some redness on my cheeks and nose so I applied more to those areas to cover that however I found that the BB Cream wouldn't "fully" cover all my red areas completely. It does state however that in four weeks "redness is reduced for 77% of women" so I am looking forward to seeing those changes and will update my review when and if that does happen.

Overall I am very happy with this cream and have already recommend it to my friends/family. It is super easy to use and doesn't look "caked" on which is fabulous! It evens out my skin tone and leaves my face looking quite natural.

I have never really been one for wearing foundations but I will be using BB Cream now :-)

I love the ease of use this BB cream offers. The cream is a medium consistency and comes out at a pace which gives you time to stop if you have enough. I trialled the Medium color and it was a perfect fit for my skin coloring. The coverage was one of the concerns I had as well as whether it would react to my sensitive skin. It covered extremely well and stayed on all day without caking or peeling off. It looked natural and gave my skin an even coloring. There was no reaction to my skin which was great. It didn't dry my skin out which other BB creams have. I will definitely buy it again and recommend it to anyone who wants a light coverage without drying your skin out. The Garnier BB Cream is well priced and fits into my budget. The packaging it arrives in is pleasing and informative,so if in the supermarket etc trying to make a decision you would find everything you need on the packet. I really like how the tube stands on the end that the cream comes out of which means the cream still inside has gravity working with it and you don't have to dig it out. I would use it as the first layer under foundation for night use.

Such a good product dose what it says its ment to, not too greasy on my combination skin tone and is a nice colour and also helps remove redness and fells so nice on. I allways have stuck to the same old foundation due to alot of them irritate my sensitive skin, but useing this with a powder on top is so good and it last's and fells so much better on my skin ill definitely be buying this BB cream once my one from beauty review runs out and i recommend this product to everyone =)
