All Garnier products are officially approved by Cruelty Free International.

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.

Garnier Miracle Skin

Garnier Miracle Skin! When I initially opened the lid on the BB cream it came rushing out and made a bit of a mess, I was a bit weary of the product after this initial flaw but was pleasantly surprised. Once I had the cream on my face it instantly evened out my skin toned and covered those unwanted imperfections. The BB cream felt light and smooth on my face and the medium colour was a perfect combination for my skin tone (with the added bonus of being SPF15). The BB cream provided good coverage for day to day wear but if I was going out I would want to use another product with this. It was awesome to see the product worked well for my skin and didn't make my skin any more oily than it usually is. I found my skin was clear after wearing it where some other products can cause my skin to break out. Overall I found the product to do what it said and I would definitely use it again for day to day coverage.

Tips: Although the BB cream states it hydrates the skin I would still use a moisturiser as well =)

Garnier BB Cream

I first tried a BB cream about a year ago and was very disappointed. I have oily skin so I found that the product was very heavy and very dewy on my skin. I am also very fair so I chose the lightest shade and this was so orange on my skin! I used it once and felt like I had wasted my money. When I saw the ooportunity to try this BB cream I was really keen as so many people use BB cream so figured they cant all be bad. I am in love! The liquid doesn't feel heavy on my skin and it has a matte finish to it. The shade is perfect and it stays on my skin all day without changing colour or sliding off. The coverage is great as well, perfect for the weekend. I will definitely be continuing to use this product.

Tips: I applied mine using a beauty blender. I felt this was a better application than my foundation brush.

Average BB

First of all I will admit I'm very picky with bb creams. I have my favourites- lioele, chi chi, and skin79- and while there are some I kind of like (loreal, Maybelline,) I do tend to stick with those, because they do ever thing I want them to. I was excited to try this range specifically targeted at certain issues- oil, anti aging etc. Due to my combination skin which has been quite oily through the t zone lately I went with the combination to oily formula in light. The formula is a bit thin and I had to use more than I normally would. It took a long time to blend in - tried with fingers, a brush and sponge, and I found the colour oxidized a bit orange on my skin. The finish was nice and felt lovely but the product moved easily on my skin and didn't like my foundation over the top. The coverage was ok but I wasnt impressed with the colour. It seemed to sit on my skin for a long time and not really settle. The packaging was ok but the smell of the product was quite chemically and I could smell it on my face. It didn't have a lot of staying power in comparison to others and in general it wouldn't be one I purchased, but for a cheaper bb it would stand up ok. I am glad I got to try it, I do prefer to invest in my primer products and save money elsewhere and this product did remind me why.

Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector BB Cream Oil-free S

AMAZING PRODUCT!!!!, i normally have a really oily Tzone, but this product mattifies my skin and kept my Tzone oil free for over 8hours!! it evened out my skin tone and is a nice light consistency that makes you feel like your not wearing anything at all. Ive tried the other garnier bb cream which made me oranage, so i was quite skeptical when i got this! but i will be using this everyday now!

Tips: Applied with hands

Amazing BB cream

I was about to buy some BB cream before I got picked for this review so I am stoked!! I'm a busy mum I have 2 little rat bags so I'm always on the go this cream is great. I have a "porcelain" tone and my skin is combination so can be dry and oily at the same time. I wash my face like normal apply some toner then apply this amazing cream with my brush. Only need a tiny bit as it has quite a runny consistency so a little goes a long way! The colour is great it is a nice shade which matches my skin beautifully it doesn't have a punk or yellow tone like a lot if the other "light" tinted moisturisers. It has a really nice natural coverage and feels so light! Just feels like moisturiser. The coverage lasts all day which I find amazing!! I love this product and I will be buying it after this tube runs out! THANKYOU for letting me trial this product!

Tips: Mix with a little if your foundation to change the tone to match your skin and to give a little more coverage :) Apply with brush :)

It seems to do the job

So, at first I was quite skeptical about trying this product. I had purchased the shade in medium, and it was far too pink for my skin. But alas, I put my hand up to try it in Light, its free so what do I have to lose right? So, the packaging is nice and simple, the ingredients are on the back, along with instructions on how to use the product. The consistency of the product is quite runny, you have to keep your eye on it otherwise it will run away on you. The light, is no where near as pink, and has more orange undertones, which suits my skin colour. The product goes on smooth, and actually has pretty good coverage for a BB cream. It leaves a nice healthy dewy look. This BB cream doesn't break up on my forehead, nose or chin, and seems to control the oil in the places where I need it. My only gripe is that it does rub off quite easily, even when paired with setting powder or a good primer. All in all, its a fairly good product for a reasonably good price. I would recommend trying the product out somehow before you buy it, as even though you might be a medium in one product doesn't mean you'll be a medium in this product.

Miracle BB Cream

I received the BB cream in Medium. Upon opening the box and admiring the the beautiful oft and tiny bottle i opened and realized that maybe I was intact more a "light" than a medium. never the less after my shower i tried the BB cream out. the consistency was really runny and this surprised me i have always had really thick BB creams. I put the BB Cream (probably too much as it flows out of the bottle) onto the top of my hand and just used my finger to dab it a bit on my hand then rub it in on my face. It was so easy to blend with my fingers and its coverage is amazing. I built it up in some places to reduce redness and it did so well. I am a user of fake tan and after a fresh tan this medium color worked perfectly on me. After wearing it for about 16 hours i checked myself before i removed it and i still looked just as flawless as i did when I put it on. This product is amazing and I would almost compare it to a light coverage foundation, thats how well it covered my skin. It left me with a slightly dewy finish but was still quite matte.

Tips: dab on hand first then rub into face so you aren't putting too much on your face at a time. A little goes a long way

newbie to BB cream

When I first opened package which was sleek and elegant tube found consistency runny with oil type feel and fragrance smelt of vanilla with a hint of alcohol but upon application it worked well with hand but tried flat top foundation brush to make blending easy a classic foundation brush leaves streaks. BB cream dried with powdery matte finish and didn't stick to dry patches, has soft velvet smooth finish did not fade or crease though out a days wear. Would recommend BB Cream looks great, feels great and at a affordable price

Newest BB Cream fanatic

I received the Oil free BB Cream in Medium colour. Being a little sceptical at the claims this BB cream could provide instant results I wanted to start using it straight away! So I did! Opening the courier bag was the Garnier BB cream in a slender box, going of the box presentation alone I would not buy this product. To me the box is extremely over cluttered and busy. I think to appeal to the eye more it could be modernised a bit and remove some of designs\writing on the box.

Opening the box and taking out the BB cream for the first time I unscrewed the cap ready to try it out, the cream oozed out without me having to even squeeze the tube, quickly trying to catch it all, I placed several spots of cream on my cleansed unmoisturised face. It rubbed and blended in effortlessly. My face felt soft and moisturised instantly. My skin had a lovely matt look and it really covered a couple of breakouts I had perfectly. I had planned to use it as a primer under my foundation for my day ahead but I was so happy with the results on its own so applied a little blush and mascara and that was my makeup for the day. Now my day consists of running around after my two gorgoeus boys who are 1 and 2 and normally results in a oily shiny face! So by midday I checked in the mirror and my skin was still looking and feeling the same as it did when I had applied the BB cream almost 6 hours ago! Very impressed! Normally by this time my foundation would be wearing off and I would be shiny! That night we had plans of going out to dinner with family, so after my shower I applied a little face moisturiser and then the BB cream, on top of that I applied my foundation, my foundation glided over the BB cream and my skin looked evenly tonned with a nice glow, no red spots no blemishes - nothing! It was flawless!! I was impressed yet again!! I felt pretty and ready for a fun night with the family!

The following day I used the BB cream again on its own, applying a little moisturiser first. Now I never go into town shopping without my makeup on so it was a big deal for me to go with just the BB cream and some mascara. But it felt lovely and light and fresh. My skin has a lovely matte appearance but still a nice glow to it. Its stayed like this all day, no need or want to reapply or put foundation over the top. Today I've applied just the BB cream again on its own. And have noticed today my skin seems tighter or firmer to touch. It felt silky too so obviously my skin is loving the mineral goodies contained in this fabulous cream!

I'm going to admit I'm a new BB cream fanatic!! I love it! I love not having a cakey, thick makeup, shiny face anymore!! My skin feels soft, moisturised and it can breath! No more blocked pores for me! Can't wait for summer! This will be all I need (plus my mascara of course)! I love that it has some sun protection also! Thankyou BR for the opportunity to review this fantastic product! I'm hooked!!

Tips: Definitley don't be afraid to wear this on its own without foundation! Its lovely!

My miracle!

The only other BB cream I've tried before this one was the Maybelline Dream Fresh BB Cream which was my go to before I tried this out. I have to say that this Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector BB Cream works so much better for me, I think I have a new go to product. I love the packaging of this product because the tube is quite slim so it is definitely beneficial for people that want to have it on the go in their purse or make up bag and the shiny gold brown colour gives it a fresh look. It doesn't have a noticeable scent at all and it is a very thin liquid but has very good coverage. I use it like I would use a moisturiser and apply it with my fingers and it blends really easily and adjusts to my skin really nicely and I found that it is very buildable as it doesn't cake up on my skin. It dries to a matte finish but not so matte that my skin is left looking flat and dull, it gives me a natural glow. It is very smooth on my skin and feels very lightweight. I have quite a few imperfections on my skin with the acne scarring being the major issue but with this the appearance of my pores, my acne scarring and my under eye circles are reduced really well. I wore it underneath my foundation and it gave my foundation a more flawless finish and made my skin look so much healthier. My skin requires the extra coverage so the second time around I used the Benefit Porefessional primer, concealer, powder and liquid foundation but this product did the job surprisingly well the first time I tried it on it's own as well. It lasts the whole day without shifting or melting away and even though my skin is quite dry during the winter season this product still allowed me to look healthy and radiant. I didn't have to do any touch ups. The only negative about this product is that there are only two shades, I used the medium shade because it was the darkest shade available and that was too light for my dark skin which was another reason for me having to put on the foundation over the top but I would still use it again and again and again because I enjoyed it.

Tips: A little bit goes a long way.
