Garnier Skin Perfector BB Cream Anti Ageing Review

I used this product twice daily after receiving it. My skin feels smoother and softer. It was thick, creamy and smooth and had a faint chemical smell. It applied fairly smoothly with good coverage, but there were occasional streaks to rub in.

I felt comfortable using it on it's own I also wore it under make-up. The packaging says it has sunscreen, but not what level of protection, it would be useful to know what level it has in it.

I am happy to continue using it to see what my skin feels like to compare it to what it claims after 4 weeks of use. I'd buy it at the RRP, while the current smell doesn't put me off I would prefer it to have a nicer fragrance.

I love the idea of BB cream, a potion to hydrate my skin, skim over any imperfections and yet light and comfortable to apply and wear. Top it off with SPF and I will be a happy camper. My Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector BB Cream - anti ageing - arrived at just the right time. I had just finished the tube of my regular BB and was looking for something richer, designed for my 43-year-old complexion. I am just noticing fine lines and age spots these days, my skin is very fair and fine-pored with the occasional broken capillary. It is also quite dry and needs rich moisturisation morning and night. I was pleased with the look of the Garnier packaging, a simple soft squeezable tube which is small enough to fit in my makeup purse. The product dispenses easily and has a nice soft creamy texture. No discernible fragrance either, which I consider a big plus. I was a bit concerned that the colour of the product (light) was a bit dark and a bit orange but once applied it dispersed easily and blended to a nice sheer beige. At the end of the first day I felt I didnt get enough moisture from the BB alone so the next day I put my regular moisturiser on first. Much better. I found that the BB didn't crease or transfer much, but I could have done with a bit more cover. The package instructions recommended applying a second coat, on doing so the results were good. By day four, I thought I had it all figured out, but that evening I noticed my skin felt a little dry and tight. Half way through day five my face felt prickly and itchy. I washed my face as soon as I got in from work rather than leaving it till bedtime like I normally would. My skin was irritated, blotchy and with hundreds of tiny bumps under the surface. The skin beside my mouth is flaky and dry. It has been three days since I discontinued the BB and I have had gradual improvement. This doesn't seem to be a classic allergic reaction and as I have used BB from another manufacturer for over six months without any problem, I wonder if it could be a hypersensitivity to the anti-ageing component of the BB? Oh well, what looked like a fair to middling BB product has turned out not to be for me.

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.

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.

Was intrigued to try this product and was pleasanlty surprised. The texture of the product felt rich and creamy to me, but did have a fragrant scent. It applied well with a natural look and a radiance that to me did seem to minimise the appearance of fine lines. It did have a slight firming affect when applied, but I didnt notice any great hydration increase to my skin. But it didint dry it out either. The coverage was natural and did dull down my high check colour which I always have trouble with. All in all I think this product was good value for money, and if you want a natural no make up look with some coverage it would be a good option. I would wear this a weekend make up or for travel to a warm climate when you dont want full coverage but need a suncreeen

Slightly darker in shade than I expected, though I found it had reasonably good coverage and a nice colour. A tad oily going on but once dry it was great.

Pleasant and not overbearing fragrance, blended easily with finger tips and got a better coverage first time with a makeup brush. Moisturising but however did find that it felt heavy after a couple hours. I think there also needs to be a light colour than the light.

Also used as a base coat with foundation and did help for a even coverage and took away the shininess of the cream when used on its own.

Could not tell if the anti-agiing properties worked as not enough time however it didn't crease where the wrinkles are.

I love BB creams as I don't have a lot of time in the mornings and moisturizer/foundation/sunscreen in one is perfect - plus it doesn't look or feel like you're wearing a lot of makeup. Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector was thicker than the Maybelline BB I was used to, which took a little getting used to. It also left a more dewy finish, which I'm still not sure whether I like or not. I haven't had enough time to really see if there are any anti-aging benefits (trial time is far too short for the fine lines to start fading!) but it feels nice and does a good job of creating a nice, even complexion.
