Garnier Skin Perfector BB Cream Anti Ageing Review

My experience with this product was overall unimpressive, I applied with a clean sponge I use for foundation, although I dont usually have a red complexion, this product actually made my skin look red, so coverage not great at all, also it made my skin feel "Powdery", also had to vigorously wash to remove any excess from my hands. I don't get wrinkles so can't vouch for that claim. Keeping in the spirit of the trial I did keep using it for 3 days, (Whilst at home), On the up side did leave my skin feeling a little firmer, smoother and definitely a slight glow to my face after I removed it, it also felt lighter then a few other products Ive tried. Wouldn't bother buying it to use again as is quite costly and didn't really perform as well as desribed

I tried one of the Garnier BB Creams a year or so ago and while it was pretty good, I wasn't 100 per cent convinced: hence the reason I ended up switching to another more expensive brand.

My biggest gripe back then was that my skin felt like there was thick makeup layered on it. Fast forward to 2014 and this new breed of BB Cream is awesome! It goes on smoothly and absorbs beautifully, leaving no residue or streaks. It blended in perfectly with my quite pale (an often hard to match to foundations) skintone.

I'm in my late 40s but have pretty good skin. One of the reasons I think I've managed to avoid a lot of the wrinkles is that I've always taken the use of sunscreens seriously. It's so nice to find a BB Cream that has a grunty sunscreen built in, that doesn't make my skin look orange, and that doesn't make me itchy (a common result of makeups with sunscreen for me).

The result is that your skin looks polished without looking too made up ... and you're ready to face the day in just a matter of minutes.

Aside from all that, this also left my normally quite dry skin feeling hydrated and smooth.

I will be switching back to Garnier from now on!

I'm a fan of BB creams and this one really performed. I tried the Light colour and my initial impression was that the colour was heaps darker than other brands I've tried (Nivea, Cover Girl, Maybelline) and wouldn't work well with my pale redhead skin. My 49-year old skin has an oily T-zone with dry, reddish cheeks and the colour blended in surprisingly well, providing enough coverage to even out my complexion and cover my large pores. The cream is quite thick but doesn't make you feel like you have a faceful of 'slap' on your skin. I do prefer a matte look and dusted translucent powder over the top. By the end of the day my skin did not feel as oily as it did with other BB creams I've used. The cream smells somewhat like cold tea - quite fresh and not highly perfumed, which I liked. I'll reserve judgement on Garnier's claims of firming my skin and reducing wrinkles - can't say I noticed any difference after a week of use, but perhaps that may happen with extended use (one can hope!). Definitely will keep using this product; great value for money.

I love this product, I'm not a big fan of spending ages applying products so and having a moisturizer/foundation/sunscreen in one is perfect - plus it doesn't look or feel like you're wearing a lot of makeup which is perfect for me as I don't wear make up all the time and only on special ocassions.

I found it easy to apply using my fingers and blending it in was easy to do. I didn't have any foundation sponges to use to see if it applies even better that way but I would imagine it would give even better results.

Does it help with wrinkles and anti ageing? Not sure as only used for a week so far to be able to say whether there is any noticeable difference, however it didn't crease where the wrinkles are.

Good value for its price and would purchase this again.

I have been using this product for 2 weeks now. It is really amazing. I love how it is not too thick, yet still gives great coverage. My skin certainly is looking smoother. It is so great to know that I am using a product for coverage but behind the scenes is actually working to make my skin firmer and protecting my skin against the sun damage and hydrating it too!!! I am hooked!!!

I was really impressed by this product. What I liked about it was that it was easy to apply and simplified my routine making it a great product to take away on holiday. I liked the mousse like consistency and the fact that me skin was still moist by the end of the day which is a boon when working in air conditioning. My only problems were that it reacted on my skin after a few days but happily I see that there is one for sensitive skin which I will definitely be trying. The colour was my other concern the medium being a bit too orange for me but in summer it may be fine. I am excited to try the one for sensitive skin

I have used this product before trialling and have it in my make-up kit. I like this product, easy to apply, glides on with great cover and does not leave any residue as absorbs and dries quickly. I have found this particular BB creme a little too thick an application for my sensitive skin type and gives it a slight powdery look. However I found that it does even out my skin tone and does promote glow initially but as the day progresses I do need a slight touch up. This product is great value for money and can be purchased cheaper than the RRP if you shop around. Looking forward to trialling BB creme for sensitive skin types.

I was surprised to open the tube and find the cream was tinted, and at first felt a little reluctant...but, the cream went on soothly as silk, the colour was PERFECT for my fair, older skin, it had no troublesome fragrance, and my skin felt velvet smooth afterward.

The box it comes in is a little un-feminine, but it some ways it is a nice contrast to all the white anonymous boxes of face cream on the supermarket shelves. There was lots of information on the box, which I appreciate, as it felt like I could be fully informed before using it. There is also a full list of ingredients, and reasons why/how to use the cream, so it feels like the manufacturers are being honest/helpful in describing their product (rather than making unsubstantiated claims as many of the competitors do).

BB cream claims to hydrate skin for 24 hours, which many other products do too...the difference for me, is that this one ACTUALLY WORKED.

I would most definitely recommend this cream to others...it is long lasting, light, a delight to use, and perfectly coloured for older fair skin. Thank you Garnier - the effectiveness of this product surprised me. I will definitely be a repeat customer.

Girlfriends, this one is the REAL THING...use and enjoy the difference.
