Having never used a BB cream before I was super excited to try this one! The packaging is very cluttered, it certainly wouldn't stand out in the supermarket aisle as something I would look at twice. Perhaps there's scope to simplify the box and put some of the factual info in a leaflet or on the tube? On first try the cream looks really thick and I was a little apprehensive but it smoothed out in my hands and glided on smoothly. My skin tone looked much more even after application but I did find that it made my parts of my face felt a little oily. I held of writing this review until the very very last minute hoping to see some signs of the MIRACLE anti aging but alas no :( All in all it's easy to use, smells great and I'd buy it again to use when I'm rushing and need something quick and also to use under my "going out" makeup as a base :)

Tips: If using as a base make sure your face is completely dry before applying anything else! Also works well if you apply the cream as a 'concealer' around eyes etc, let dry and apply a second layer for more coverage ;)
What a lovely product. Having used one brand of make up for a long time I thought it was time to try another brand well I love this BB Cream. The scent was very pleasant. I felt that you didnt need a lot and it stayed on well. I was worried about only 2 shades and I trialled the light and it was perfect for me. Would certainly purchase this product again.
Tips: It went on nicer with a brush.
I really liked this product. I am not keen on heavy foundations that slip during the day - so this product was right up my street.
I used it after cleansing and toning each morning. It is easy to apply and covers really well. The colour suited my fair skin perfectly - no orange or caked-on look here. I used it both with and without make-up - my skin looked smooth and natural both ways.
It was non-greasy and lasted throughout the day, still looking as good as when first applied in the morning. My skin did not get oily or dry out.
After 10 days, I'm not sure I could vouch for my laughter lines being any less obvious but I was happy with what the product did do.
Only negative was the packaging - it looked like there was a sticker on the box giving the overview of the product - at first I thought the packaging looked like it was a 'parallel import'.
The only other point - make sure your skin is dry after toning - water and the cream do not mix.
Tips: Make sure your skin is dry before applying so that you don't get water streaks
This is the first time I have used a BB cream of any sort. I was just completely confused about what it was supposed to be for and when I would use it. I was very excited to get the chance to trial this.
My beauty product collection is generally centred around skin cleansing and moisturisers so it was good to try something that I had never really considered. I still used this over my normal cleansing and moisturising routine.
This product has very good light coverage for someone like me that doesn't use foundation on a daily basis. I am a total convert and have been using it almost every day. The consistency is thick, but it spreads well, so not too much needs to be used each day. I found it lasted well during the day and I didn't need to reapply at any stage.
I have fair, freckly skin so I asked for the 'light' colour. It worked well for me, and smoothed out a lot of the freckles, so my complexion appeared a lot more even.
This is a really good product, and good value for money. I also like that there is a SPF15 in it - one less thing to think about! I think that Garnier could look at their packaging and improve the design/look of the tube, but since that's the only really negative thing I can think of, I think they're doing pretty well.
Tips: I use this product with my normal moisturiser. I have dry skin and I didn't find it moisturising enough to use by itself.
My skin is combination normal to dry. I normally wear a good coverage of foundation as I have quite rosy cheeks.
I like the product packaging as it is neat and simple. The product comes in a decent size tube, and it is easy to dispense as much product as you desire. The cream itself is a very creamy consistency, which smells really good. It applies easily to the face and neck, I found that the coverage is very light, as you would expect from a BB cream. I personally would prefer more coverage as the cream didn't hide any redness, although it did smooth the overall tone of my face to a degree. I used the product over a week. I didn't see any noticeable reduction in wrinkles in this time, although with continued use according to the package I will see more changes. The product appeared to last a good few hours. And that was without a powder to set it. It felt light on the skin and the colour suited my skin tone. The product is very reasonably priced. And is a good product in this price range. I would definitely recommend it to family and friends to try for themselves.
Tips: Possibly to make the product last longer bad to give a little more coverage. I would set it with a translucent powder after application.
I've tried to like this product. I have. I liked the premise - a super-affordable, supermarket BB cream. But maybe I went in with my expectations too high. Okay, so pros - and there are lots of them. First, price. It's a great price. It's easy to open - I get irritated by too many security seals on a new product when I just want to rip into it! The smell is lovely. It blends easily. A little goes a long way. I'll be using this (and I WILL continue to use this product) for ages. But - cons. The texture is VERY gloopy and thick. I have squeezed too much out every time I've used it, which means product wastage. At this price it doesn't matter so much, but that's not the point. It leaves my skin a little greasy, especially on my forehead and nose. I have combination skin so maybe the anti-aging version isn't for me? But the main thing is it doesn't live up to its name! It's decent as a tinted moisturiser, but I don't rate it as a BB cream, and it's certainly not a miracle worker!
Tips: I use this as a moisturiser, and then layer Dermalogica Primer on top. This leaves me with a better result than I would get if I just used my normal moisturiser with primer.
Having never used a BB cream before I was pleased to be selected for this trial. I found it easy to apply and initially it did a great job of evening the tone and boosting the glow of my skin as it said it would. I was really pleased with the immediate effect however I found it didn't stay evenly on my face the entire day so by mid afternoon I was looking a bit shiny and patchy in places. I followed the instructions and tried applying a second time to see if that would last longer but that left me with a bit of a pancake feeling. I didn't really notice any reduction in lines but it may need longer trialling than a week for any significant change to be noticeable. I really wanted to like it more, but for me it didn't last the distance which was disappointing. I would recommend it to others have a try though as you never know it may well work for you.
Tips: Don't apply your usual moisturiser first and use fingers not a brush.
I found this to be a very nice BB cream. I found it had a pleasant scent and a very light coverage. You use an extremely small amount for the coverage given. I didn't find my crow's feet to look diminished, but am happy to purchase this again.
Tips: Use your fingers and not a brush! Much easier to blend in with fingers.
I was quite excited to be part of this particular trial. We all want to look more youthful, look and feel terrific as we age gracefully. I wish we had more time to trial this product as I feel the time frame was too short to obtain potential of what this cream does. I used the light coloured cream for this trial and was delighted with the results. This BB cream was extremely easy to apply and blended perfectly with my skin while giving optimal coverage. Unlike other creams, this was very light to wear and didn't give me the heavy caked on feel of wearing creams and/makeup. I used this as my only makeup for 90% of the trial as it gave a flawless appearance while making me appear as if I was wearing foundation. Other times I used this dream as my base for my foundation and it was just perfect for doing that too. My face still felt and look moisturised and gave that fresh smooth professionally applied appearance. The fragrance was very pleasant and not overpowering. The coverage was easy to apply and covered all parts of my face and neck with minimal amount of cream making this product very economical. Not only is it a moisturiser, sunscreen, anti ager and hydrater, but it is also perfect for using just as an every day makeup and foundation. I never felt I needed a second application as it looked fresh and flawless with just the one application. This did cover blemishes and evened out dry skin tone, while hiding my freckles and age spots.The application of this BB cream wore really well and still looked freshly applied even at the end of a hectic day. I actually took my grandaughter to the local indoor pools while wearing this and despite getting splashed in the face was delighted that it stayed on my face and not run down my face as other products have done before. I Will continue to use to see the results for reducing wrinkles and firming skin as I haven't noticed any difference in those areas yet but will continue to buy this product for years to come as I love how it looked and felt on my skin. This product is packaged well and has clear instructions for use. The price of this product is very reasonable given that it has more than one use and eliminates the many other bottles of product you normally would be using to get the same effect. I highly recommend the Garnier BB cream. It does everything it says it will do while being easy and quick to apply. I will definately will continue to purchase this as my daily makeup and moisturising ritual from now on. Try this and I'm sure you will love it as much as I have. It is reasonably priced and has many benefits and uses. I am absolutely sold on this product because I wear and apply very minimal makup but feel this gives me the appearance of going to a lot of trouble when it is a very quick and easily applied product, while giving a professionally applied appearance.
Tips: When using as a base for other types of foundation, give enough time to dry before applying your other product. I used powder and the powder is easy to apply if the cream is completely dry first.
I have a few fine lines around my eyes and have some redness either side of my nose and on my chin. I quite liked the consistency of this product, it was light and airy, almost a mousse like texture and it was easy to apply. I trialled this product in Light however, found it was too dark for my fair skin tone and gave my skin an almost orange tint. It is very sheer and did not provide any coverage on my skin whatsoever even after applying a few layers. I did find that this product kept my skin moisturised however, did not do anything to blur the lines around my eyes. Whilst this product has a nice texture and provides good moisturisation, I would not buy this product and feel there are better BB creams on the market such as Maybelline Pure BB cream.
Tips: Need to wear foundation over this product to achieve any sort of coverage
