Garnier BB Cream - Sensitive Review - Medium

When I first received this BB Cream I was super excited to try it. I have quite sensitive skin and my foundation often drys out my skin so I was excited to try a product specifically formulated for sensitive skin. This product worked great on my skin and didn't irritate it or dry it out. It also has SPF 15 so it would be a good BB cream for the summertime. I found the coverage great when you first apply, but unfortunately that did not last too long. Throughout the day I saw the coverage get much worse as the product came off and found myself having to reapply. I am a big fan of the Maybelline Dream Pure BB Cream and do not have this problem usually. With all this aside, the Garnier BB cream worked great with my skin and I will continue to use it as a base for my foundation on those days when I need more coverage. The packaging of this product is simple yet convenient. It is a good size for travelling and is in a tube which makes it easy to get the product out!

I received this in the light colour.

The packaging is pretty normal nothing too fancy. I like that the bottle is an upside down squeeze bottle as it makes it easy to use.

It smells like sunblock for some reason. Maybe because it has spf in it (added bonus) but I didn't notice the smell as much after a couple of minutes.

Formula - I found that the formula felt creamy to me and it glides across your skin. I applied it a few different ways to see if it would make a difference. I first tried with my fingers and it glided on smoothly but I found it was a little patchy and didn't give me the best coverage. I then tried with a foundation brush and found this was better as you could blend it in and get better coverage. A little goes a long way as well which is great. Colour wise it was a shade orange for my skin but nothing too noticeable. I have quite sensitive skin especially my cheeks and under my chin and I had no irritation at all.

Coverage - I found it was good for evening out my skin tone but it didn't cover my blemishes and redness in my skin. I tried applying another layer but it still didn't cover the redness and the formula crumbled a little on my skin when applying a second layer.

Overall - I will use this for days where I am around home and want very light coverage or days that my skin is looking fantastic. Not 100% sure if I would repurchase

Perfect product for the weekend "I don't want to look like I'm wearing make up" face but you don't want to go out "naked" . It very subtly reduces blemishes and makes you feel fresher without feeling like your wearing makeup. I tried using concealer under it as well to cover some flaws in my skin. It didn't irritate my skin at all and I love that it has UV protection. It did take a while to dry so I found setting it with a tiny bit of powder helped, without taking away that natural look. I usually have combination skin but it has been more on the oily side lately so I needed that extra bit of powder to just set the BB cream. Overall I'm impressed with the product and I would probably buy it again, the price is reasonable and it's quick and easy to use.

My skin type is really sensitive and dry, especially in winter time. The consistency of the BB cream is thick as well as creamy. It is easy to apply with fingers as well as a brush. Personally I did not like the smell very much it is somewhat of a foundation smell. I could smell it the whole day I wore it. Yucky! It is more of a sheer rather than a full coverage, after all it is just a cream not a foundation. It has a matte finish but what I saw on my face was that I could see some powdery bits around my nose area. It does not last that long. If you’re thinking to wear it for 24 hours I wouldn’t recommend this product. The price is $17.49 at The Warehouse. Compared to the cream I use which is $15.99 at the same place I would not buy this BB cream if I had a choice from them two. For me it is not worth the money. It does make it easy to use the right amount, I give the packaging 5/5. After using this product for about 5-6 days, I would keep using it as it does even my skin tone and reduces the redness on my face. But I would not use it for an everyday thing, the main reason for that is that it does not smell nice first of all. Secondly it makes my skin look dry around my nose area. As mentioned on the box the BB cream does these things: -Reduces redness (It defiantly does reduces redress on the face) -Soothes and 24 hour hydration (Does not stay for 24 hours) -Corrects blemishes (Does correct blemishes) -Evens and illuminates (Does even the skin tone) -UV protection SPF 15 I would recommend it to is it does do the things is says it would. But it would depend of your skin type, my skin did not suit it that much around my nose area. Well everyone has different skin so I would recommend you to try this BB Cream!

I have been using this all week. My skin (being sensitive) feels quite lovely, although I did have a small breakout on one cheek. It certainly makes the skin soft and it isn't at all greasy. very nice to use (nice shade too)

Well I was quite excited to try this product out as I have wanted to try it for a while so here we go this is my review , I liked the package nice and small to pop into you purse for a top up thro the day if needed, and the box was easy to read. I liked it how it was a thick cream and was easy to apply I just used my fingers, I have Sensitive skin and do have a few spots on my face and it did take 2 more layers to cover them up, witch was annoying. it did not irritate my skin so that was good. The smell was ok and was not to strong. I must say it was more a sheer than a coverage. It didn't seem to last for the whole day as I had to reapply it in the afternoon. I guess the price is good for what it did but would have still liked it if it had more Coverage. over all I would recommend it for someone that doesn't need much coverage. I don't think I would buy this for me as I would like to have a stronger coverage. Thanks for giving me the chance to try this product out before I was to buy it.

i have been a lover of Garnier products for a long time and when this trial came up i jumped at the chance.

Personally i probably had the best/worst weather to test this product. But in heavy rain and wind. It still gave some converage and reduced redness.

I like this product it's perfect for busy people that have no time to put on foundations and all the other potions. It's a quick fix.

I have very rosey cheeks and i found with just this it does minimise my redness which is wonderful.

the only problem i found was the consistancy. But this is coming from a a person that doesn't use liquid foundation and never used BB cream before.

Other wise it is the perfect quick fix make up and i think it's well worth it's money.

I'm not a big fan of foundation or powder etc so I thought a BB cream would be a great alternative to try. My impression was that it would be more like a tinted moisturiser that I could wear every day. The packaging states that the cream provides hydrating care with a light touch of make-up. The product is actually quite thick, it does give great coverage, evens out skin tone etc. but for me it felt like I had a heavy mask on my face, and I felt very 'made-up'. I chose the light version as I have very fair skin however it was still a little to dark for me. I didn't find it particularly hydrating, and my skin has actually probably been drier this week than usual. I usually find that after I have used something a couple of times my skin starts to get irritated however this didn't irritate my skin at all so I would use it for that reason alone The smell is fairly neutral. Overall a good product but not something I would choose to wear everyday, I will continue to use it as a base for going out/special occasions.

I found this BB cream worked wonderfully as a base for my foundation but also a nice skin-tone evener on days when I didn't want much makeup.

I used this product a lot over summer and found that it was super moisturising on sun damaged skin unlike some of my more full coverage BBs which can be drying. It was a light coverage but in saying that on days where my skin was looking alright already it would improve it so much more by using this.I do need extra coverage for any blemishes though.

I found this BB lasted well throughout the day and didn't become patchy or slide off, unless of course it was very very hot. I would recommend this product to someone with sensitive dry skin as it didn't make me rash out and helped to keep me moisturised.

I received the cream early this week. I wanted to make sure that I have used the product more than 5 days to make sure that it will be a good review (at least, so I think).

Reduces redness (check), hydrates (check), Correct blemishes (not so much), evens skin tone (check), illuminates complexion (maybe? didn't notice much of a difference).

What makes it nice is that it has that light touch of make up that looks like you put a foundation on (thank God the medium tint blended so well with my skin tone). I only had to put a little foundation at my cheek as to really cover the blemishes. What I noticed also is that the cream smudges or wipes off easily when it's humid or when you start to sweat. Apart from those minor things the product itself does try to keep its words.

Not bad for a 50ml tube of goodness that is worth under $20.
