Garnier Skin Perfector BB Cream Oil-Free Review

Garnier Miracle skin protecor oil- free BB cream just didnt suit me. It was to light for my skin and I got medium. I wish they had more colours. The bottle is sleek and it has a twist top lid which was easy to carry in my make up bag. However, what I found with this product is that it is very runny. It did give me a matte finish but it didn't last long. My face started to show the imperfections after a couple of hours. The product wasn't spectacular and I woudn't call it a miracle. My skin still wasn't even and it didn't give a good amount of coverage. The scent of this product wasn't nice. Personally I wont be purchasing this item.

I was so excited to try this as I thought "this could be the one". Unfortunately no, it really didn't make my skin look matte & made my skin oiler than ever. I thought the consistency was far too runny, I had to apply with a brush so it was spread evenly but wasn't a great finish, I still felt it was too thin on my skin. Not a good outcome for me, even after 20 mins my skin had a very visible shine going on & just increased to get worse throughout the day. A couple of days I had to remove my make up completely & start again, without the BB Cream on. Won't be buying this or recommending I'm afraid. :(

For a product that has obviously targets people with oily skin I don't think this product quite delivered. It was quite runny which can make it difficult to apply. It has a solvent-y smell which I guess has something to do with it being oil free or for people prone to oily skin. The coverage wasn't that great, although I wasn't expecting much with it being a BB cream. All these things don't really matter... however, after applying this BB cream my face was so shiny! It's not something I would expect from an oil-free product. I would recommend Garnier BB creams to people in general, but I wouldn't recommend this oil-free product to a person with oily skin.

I don't enjoy writing negative reviews but I have to be honest, the Garnier BB Cream I tried just did not do it for me at all. The mixture is extremely runny. The first time I applied it it looked caked on and horrible. The next time I used it very sparingly and that looked better but I still didn't enjoy the finish. I found it quite drying also. Unfortunately I wouldn't recommend this product.

Unfortunately, this didn't work for me. I found the consistency too watery and even though I received the light shade, it was still too dark for my skin tone. I used this product for just a bit over a week in a variety of ways and found that it did not help with oiliness of my skin. I changed my usual make-up regime to incorporate this product after my primer-which seemed to make it melt off quickly even though I use a setting spray that usually makes everything stay on all day long. I also tried wearing it as a tinted moisturiser during the day, but found that the oil came to the surface more and the colour was far too dark for my skin. I did not see an increase in the number of breakouts while using this product though, which is a bonus seeing as it did nothing for me. I'm fortunate that this was a trial product, because I will just be passing this on to my sister.

For starters I have fairly oily skin most of the time, I am prone to breakouts (have terrible ones at the moment) My pores are quite noticeable and I have acne scars.

The packaging is OK, the tube is longer than the other ones in the range I think, and longer and thinner than other BBs I have. The product itself was a lot runnier than I expected, so I made a bit of a mess when I first opened it. I'm not a big fan of the smell, there seemed to be a chemical like undertone to it which put me off a bit.

I tried different ways to apply it over the days I trialed it, I found that putting it on with my fingers then buffing it out with the beauty blender worked quite well for an even coverage. The first day I trialed with no primer or powder, I was just around home - which was good because the coverage is fairly light. You can build it a little, but I found the thicker I went the more orange I went (I used light and it is definitely not a good match for my skin, I think I would need an even lighter shade). It also didn't last very long before it was looking patchy (it dries to a powdery finish and it's a bit like it draws into certain spots leaving others barer.)

With primer and powder the coverage was a little better and I was able to take some of the orange out with a light powder, but the colour definitely isn't a very good match for my skin. It also ended up a little cakey on my chin and upper lip, but a lot of products seem to do this for me.

I don't feel that it matches up to some of it's claims - I still went shiny. It wasn't enough coverage for my blemishes and my skin felt really dry at the end of the day. Also, after the trial I've broken out pretty badly, because the only thing I changed in my routine was this BB cream I think it is linked unfortunately.

Based on my experience it wouldn't be the first one that I recommended, but for someone who's skin matched the colouring and had fairly clear skin, it would probably be OK for a light coverage.

The first few days I tried this, I was very disappointed in how it looked on my skin. When I had moisturiser underneath, the BB cream made my skin look aged, heavy, dry and over-tanned. The BB cream was quite runny when I applied with a foundation brush, but absorbs quickly and appears to be quite thick and not natural looking. After 1 hour of application, my face became quite dry and needed to remove and reapply so it wasn't uneven. It does cover redness quite well, however with my skin tone, I think it would have blended well with a lighter tone. Overall, I didn't like the tone, or the way it made my skin looked aged. The way it dried out my skin was also disappointing, therefore I would not use again.

Let's start with some positives. This has great coverage, it's a thicker consistency that I expected, more of a foundation texture. It doesn't have a strong scent. And that's about it. One of the most important qualities of a make-up product is that it is long lasting and comfortable and unfortunately this product fell short on both counts. It transferred quite badly and half-way through a working day all I wanted to do was go home and wash my face. I guess it'll be good for short days (i.e. popping out to the supermarket) and I'll finish the tube, but won't repurchase as I'm willing to spend a bit more for a better BB cream.

I found the texture of this product very smooth, and it glided on easily. It is a very runny consistency so spreads but I did probably use more than I normally would. However, it was very light and had minimal fragrance so it felt like I wasn't wearing any make up at all. I found after an hour or so of using it, it had stuck into my lines and pores making them stand out, and had stuck to the hair above my lip making me wish I waxed, which I have no problem with using other BB creams or foundations.

There are definitely pro's and con's with this product. 2 shades in the colour range is pretty poor. I feel like the lightest shade looked waaay too orange on my skin tone. I could only get away with it if i fake tanned. On the other hand, I still tried this BB cream.. i just didn't go out of my house with orange skin. This BB cream is good for oily skin as the packaging says. But I would probably needed to touch up a bit as i do have slightly oily skin. the packaging is horrible the tip pours out the BB cream like a waterfall. The cap ends up being filled with the product and it becomes sooooo messy! The product claims that it has skin benefits, i saw no benefits on my skin. If anything it was just a matte tinted moisturizer. im still not fully convinced that this product is a BB cream.
