Garnier Skin Perfector BB Cream Anti Ageing Review

My skin is normally dry on the cheeks but oily on the t-zone. (and with some wrinkles) Because the colour was little bit dark on me (I have VERY fair skin) it was not as easy to apply as it would be if it was a closer skin match), I had to be careful to do small dots at a time, and then carefully blend them which wasn't that quick to do but meant I could control the coverage. I thought the fragrance was great the first time I opened the tube and a lovely scent wafted out, but it unfortunately became a really overpowering fragrance as I applied it, just seemed like way too much fragrance for a BB cream and compared to my other face products. :-( The coverage was sheer and the finish was surprisingly matte (I had thought it would be a bit shiny and oily since it was the 'anti-aging' BB cream) so I thought it worked well under my foundation. It's a great price compared to some of the other BB creams on the market. I haven't noticed any particular anti-aging results yet, but as I've only been using it for about a week now, it might be too early to say! :-) I would definitely recommend it to a friend if they have a darker skin tone than me (not difficult as I'm so fair! lol) and if I know they love a strongly scented product on their face!

Slightly darker in shade than I expected, though I found it had reasonably good coverage and a nice colour. A tad oily going on but once dry it was great.

From the first time I used this cream I loved it, this cream exceeded my expectations. I have pretty normal skin and starting to be concerned with the ageing process and normally wear a medium coverage foundation. I found this cream to be of medium consistency but easy to apply using your fingers. It had a very pleasant floral smell which faded nicely after application. I was actually surprised how well it covered as I often have red cheeks and this covered them well but at the same time looked natural and not caked on. After applying the cream it made my skin glow and look radiant. My skin didn't dry out at all throughout the day, all though I did re apply in the afternoon for more coverage. A great cream to recommend to all with the bonus of sunscreen too.

This is the first time I have ever used a bb cream before so I was quite excited to try it out.

Firstly a few things about the product: The consistency I found very thick and didn’t apply very easily to my skin, I can’t say the smell was overly nice but it also wasn’t terrible - it does disappear pretty quickly on application. I found the coverage to light for my personal liking and even applied a second layer to see if I could build up the coverage a bit more but it just appeared blotchy on my skin the more I applied. I tried a couple of ways to apply it from using my hands to using a beauty blender but I still wasn’t keen on the coverage or how it sat or looked on my skin. Once applied I didn’t like how it felt on my skin as it felt oily and gave me a shine which I am not keen on – I prefer a matte look for me as my skin is slightly on the oilier side of combination skin.

Now for the nitty gritty of the application: I used a couple of ways how I applied it like I mentioned above but I also tried using a primer underneath, then a primer and used a powder on top all of which I still didn’t like. Eventually I decided to use it as a primer underneath my colour stay foundation, BINGO! This was much better it then began to do what it said it was to do, it added extra moisture to my mature skin, keeping my face hydrated for longer, it even gave a slight extra bit of coverage on my hormonal spots I have around my neck, blurring them a little without having to use concealer as well and lessened the look of my pores making them appear smaller. I won’t be purchasing this particular bb cream again but I may purchase another brand to compare them with this one.

This has just become my new best friend. Proof that great things do indeed come in small packages. I had people comment on my freshfaced appearance as soon as I started using it, and my skin felt great as well. Long lasting, I only gave myself a quick touch up before heading out in the evening after a full day in the office, as I didn't need anything else. I loved the feel of the product on my skin, and it certainly hid the fine lines and wrinkles that have been getting in the way of my confidence recently. I have made this item a beauty essential now and will not be leaving home without it!

I was very interested to try the Garnier Anti Aging BB cream as I am at the age where I need products that offer extra moisturisation and protection from the elements. I applied it to my freshly cleansed and moisturised skin and immediately noticed how velvety it felt, it spread easily and didn't grab onto my dry skin. Instantly my skin looked dewy, oh how I love 'dewy'! My skin felt 'relaxed' which to me meant that the anti aging ingredients do what they are meant to do for older skin - nourish, protect and enhance. My skin felt nourished and the coverage is perfect in that it's not too much which isn't good for an older skin as if it was too heavy it would settle into the fine lines, however it was more coverage than other BB creams I've tried and I liked that. For me it is the perfect amount to cover slight redness and imperfections. At first it felt a bit tacky, but after about 10 minutes that tackiness disappeared and it felt like nothing was on my skin yet the mirror told me how lovely this product looked on my face. I found it lasted the day well and didn't need a touch up. I did find that the 'Light' colour is a bit too dark for me, I am a fair skinned natural blonde but I found that if I blended it down past and under my jawline it wasn't so noticeable as my décolletage is darker due to sun exposure and it matched up with my face. I enjoyed reviewing this lovely velvety Garnier Anti Aging BB cream and will continue using it to the last drop.

Unfortunately I was a little disappointed with this product. I got the lightest shade available and it didn't match my skin tone at all as it was too dark for me, which is quite odd because my skin isn't really that pale. I think they should have a better selection of color choices. Other then that, the product has a nice scent, nice and fresh smelling, making it nice to apply. The formula was also really nice, a great consistency and really creamy. I was able to apply this with my fingers and it went on like a dream. I didn't notice anything major change in my skin appearance, but maybe this is a product that needs to be used for a while before you notice any major changes. I felt like the product was quite hydrating on my skin, but I didn't really feel like it evened out my skin tone as blemishing and scarring was still quite noticeable underneath, I know a BB cream isn't supposed to be high coverage, but I still like things to be covered up a bit!

A major plus for me with this product is that it has a SPF which is always a great thing, so this product would probably work really well for me in the summer rather than winter.

All in all, for its price, its a good product. Its a good size so you get your moneys worth as you don't need to use a lot of product, unless your trying to build it up. If this were the right color match for me I would most likely buy it again, but the color is just too off for me.
