Since 1989, Garnier has been committed to a world without animal testing.

GARNIER'S new BB Cream,  combats shiny, oily skin, by combining the power of ultra-absorbent mineral pigments for an immediate matte look and perfect, even-toned skin. 

The oil-free BB cream works in five ways. It reduces imperfections, moisturises, gives skin a healthy glow, delivers a beautiful matte finish to skin and provides all-important sun protection with SPF 15.

GARNIER'S Oil-free BB Cream provides instant results while also improving the skin’s quality over time. After four weeks the results are clearly visible; skin is less oily, pores reduced in size, imperfections are visibly reduced and skin radiance is improved.

It has a  new active ingredient,  Mineral perlite - a powerful volcanic rock extract known for its ultra-absorbing properties.

Mineral perlite is able to retain up to two-and-a-half times its weight in oil and water and is five times more absorbing than talc, meaning any excess sebum is absorbed to fight that oily shine. This combined with uncoated mineral pigments gives the skin an even tone and a perfectly matte finish

GARNIER Miracle Skin Perfector-Oil-free BB cream is available in two shades - light and medium.

Quite a nice product

I have never liked Bb Creams, I have tried two different ones and I've always found they just sit on the skin, even with setting powder they haven't given a nice finish. This is completely different though..it sunk into my skin much like foundation and my skin is pretty clear (besides a little recent scarring) and it made it look really clear. It suggested to apply another thin layer over any areas that aren't covered, so I did this and found I didn't even need concealer! It's very matte (which I love as I have really oily skin) and because it's such a light liquidy texture I found it sunk into my brush which was actually really good for application! I pressed a little harder to get product then blended out lightly with my brush. I have found after wear it for just over 8 hours with no touch ups it has seperated around my nose and has a slightly cakey appearance in this area..but touching up during the day would probably help this. I find this BB Cream is like a foundation but super light in texture. Definitely recommend!

Tips: Layer up slightly over and imperfections for a flawless finish and powder with a setting powder to ensure it'll last as long as possible!

Excellent product!

I didn't think that i would like this product as much as i have! The liquid (and i say liquid as it is seriously runny) has so much more coverage than i was expecting. This is easy to build up to a more fuller coverage if needed, and stays put for quite a reasonable amount of time. (not all day, but a fair chunk of it.) It didn't break me out or dry out my skin, both factors i was concerned with before trying it. I found that it was easily blended onto the skin and sat nicely through out the day, never creating an oily mess. The only "downside" to the bb cream for me was that it has quite a yellow-ish tinge to it, where as my skin is more pink. Wonderful for a quick face fix, or on the go.

Should please most

A little bit too dry for my skin, and also a bit darker than I expected based on the website and the BB cream that I already had. Despite this, I could tell it was a great product and it did what it said it would.

Tips: It may pay to use moisturiser before using this product, as it dries out your skin a LOT.

My new fave BB!

Firstly, my skin is mildly oily so I definitely dont want to use any products that will make it worse (and this was great!) the consistency is quite runny and at first feels quite oily however when it sets into your skin it looks dewy (wouldnt say it has a matte finish as described).

I applied it both with my fingers and with a brush - definitely preferred the finish with the brush but its wearable when applied with fingers alone. The coverage is really good for a BB cream, similar to a light-med coverage foundation, so it looks great alone for when you dont want to wear foundation, I also wore it with a bit of powder on top to extend the wear (lasts a few hours this way) and under my foundation as a base which gave my foundation a better finish and also made it last all day.

Didnt notice any smell, and the package was appealing and it retails for less than $20 so I'll definitely be buying it again.

Tips: Apply with a flat top kabuki brush and buff into skin for a flawless finish

Love the cover

Wow this product is amazing. From the first time I put this on it was amazing. It instantly looked like I had just had a spray tan. It is so smooth and easy to apply. This has helped my skin feel tighter and has less imperfections. I also think it has helped get my naturally oily skin back to a normal range. My skin is feeling softer and smoother than it has for awhile. i use this under my mineral foundation and it just really helps give it a naturally flawless looking makeup for my day. I am really impressed by this product and will be swapping to this instead of buying my ridiculously expensive liquid foundation.

Skin Perfection

I was skeptical about this to start with a name like Miracle Skin Perfecter, thats a pretty big claim. I was pleasantly suprised! I love this product, it does exactly what it says it does. It feels light on the skin but gives you great coverage - I found no need to apply another layer and would happily leave the house wearing only this unlike other BB creams I've tried. It even sits well with foundation and powder over top for the whole day. This will definitely be a regular in my make up drawer

Tips: Can be used by itself but I found it also works well with water based foundation.

Best BB Cream

I personally love BB creams but Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector BB Cream is by far the best one I have used. It does exactly it says it would do including covering blemishes and evened out my skin tone. I only had to apply a thin layer and my skin looked flawless. I would recommend this to everyone I know. It is affordable and works like a charm!

Would be perfect except for the colour...

I have the shade medium and overall I really enjoy using the product. It has a very watery consistency which I actually love. It has great coverage yet a very light natural feel. I applied the bb cream after moisturizing and used my real techniques expert face brush with a touch of blush and mascara for an effortless natural look. It blended well and had a very soft matte finish that lasted all day without getting shiny which is great as my usual foundations tend to slip off my face after 7 hours yet mine lasted a good 9 hours at least! I did try using a setting powder over the top to see what it looked like but found it looked too cakey and doesn't really need it anyway. The only down side was that it was a bit orangey for my skin tone so had to blend my neck in with a bit of bronzer hence why I didn't give it a full 5 stars. I will however be purchasing the light shade to see if that may be a better fit for me.

Tips: A little goes a long way. The product is very buildable so start with a small amount and see how it looks. Only add more product to the areas you'd like a little more coverage if needed. For extra staying power, try using a primer after moisturizing and before applying the bb cream.

Not quite up to BB standards

I received this product to trial and it's going up against a tough contender - my one and only holy grail product, the Vital Orange BB Cream from Korean brand Skin79, which I started using using two years ago and haven't touched any other face product since... until now. I have always avoided "western" bb creams after hearing time and time again that they're just glorified tinted moisturisers trying to hop on the bb bandwagon.

The first thing I noticed about this product was the consistency - it's quite runny, which makes it hard to control the amount of product you want, and makes a mess of the lid. I didn't find this made application any more difficult, though.

The colour "Light" is about a shade too dark for me. It may hopefully be wearable for me in the summer if I manage to get some colour. The undertone doesn't appear to lean too orange nor too pink. It provides the perfect light coverage to even out your skin tone rather than cover it up, exactly what I expect from a bb cream.

I like to build up coverage in places where I need it rather than using a concealer. I did not find this product at all easy to build, an extra layer didn't do much to my visible veins and dark circles other than leave an obvious dark patch. Maybe I wouldn't see a problem if the shade actually matched me, but it does seem that if you want to build up coverage, you're going to need a lot.

I do always set my T zone area with a translucent powder, but the other areas of my face weren't left with that tacky, un-set feeling that I was expecting due to the runny consistency. All areas of my skin looked and felt nice and matte. The product stayed well throughout the day, and my skin did not get noticeably shiny.

The main difference I find between a good bb cream and a regular face product is the feeling after taking it off after a day of wear. Your skin feels GOOD after taking off a bb cream, like it's been doing something beneficial for your skin, not just providing coverage. I didn't get that feeling after wearing this product. I took it off and my skin felt like it needed to be thoroughly cleansed, toned and moisturised, pronto.

A nice light coverage product with a nice matte finish, but not quite a bb cream. Sorry, Garnier.

BB MINE Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector BB Cream Oi

Alright so this is my first review on here so lets do this, I have oily combination skin to begin with and YES by far this has worked wonders for reducing the shine however it still didn't completely give me a matte finish i was hoping for, The coverage was actually not to bad for a bb cream, On one occasion i used the bb as a base for my own foundation and i did love the look and coverage i was able to achieve. I think i do need to go to the light for winter and use this medium shade for the winter as it was a tad bit dark for me, my only main concerns with this would be the way it seems to leak out of the tube every time i took lid off so it could get a tad bit messy. overall i would recommend this product to my friends and family especially for the price

Tips: I personally feel a brush was needed as it got blotchy on my skin and a bit un even when i tried to apply with my fingers and sponge. i would still recommend a foundation over the top if coverage is needed, however perfect product for a natural look as there was still a really good amount of coverage.
