Garnier Skin Perfector BB Cream Oil-Free Review

This product has a watery texture, although it offers a surprising amount of coverage, I'd say light to medium, and it is buildable - i applied an extra layer to my undereyes and acne scarring and didn't look cakey. I have acne prone combo skin (very oily in the tzone with occasional dry patches). It didn't emphasize my dry patches and lasted well when I wore it alone. I wouldn't use or recommend this as a primer/base for foundation as it made my foundation melt off my face before 4 hours wear which doesn't tend to happen with a good primer.

The packaging is fine, although I find the product just spills out, even if you don't squeeze it, so I can see it being a bit messy, but not so seriously that I wouldnt use it again.

This has great coverage and is lightweight (it seriously feels like you are not wearing anything) but unfortunately this made me break out with a bit of really sore acne, so this isnt a product I would be wearing every day but on the odd occasion as I do like the other results.

I absolutely recommend this product to anyone who isn't prone to breakouts as it is a great everyday product. I've already recommended this to my friend who uses the other garnier bb cream.

I found this BB cream quite thick. It was good because a light layer gave a good effect, however, I found sometimes I couldn't get it as sheer as I wanted. The thickness was strange as it was constantly also leaking out of the product if you put it down without the lid on!

I applied it with my fingers, and had no problems with that. I tend to apply a little more under my eyes to brighten my face, and it works really well for that. It wasn't cakey or flakey.

I thought it did a great job of helping to control oil on my face (usually after a couple of hours after applying BB cream/foundation, my face gets quite shiny). This would last the day with only a slight shine on my nose and forehead.

I found it was great and didn't rub off on clothing or pillow cases, and it felt like my skin could breathe. All in all, I really liked this product.

I have really, really oily skin, and this is the best BB cream for it that I've tried so far. I'm pale but not super pale and it suits me quite well.

It has quite a thin consistency, so it makes it quite hard to control how much product comes out. However, it applies and blends really well on the skin. It's quite sheer to start off with, but is easily build-able. It covers my imperfections, but is still sheer enough that you can still see my freckles (which I like).

I apply it with a mattifying primer and the powder before foundation method, and that combination seems to control any oiliness quite well. Normally, no matter what I do or what products I use, I end up looking like a giant oil slick, so this is quite refreshing!

It does wear off quite a lot by the end of the day, but that could be because I don't use very much.

This stuff is amazing, I have tried about 6 or 7 other BB creams but I've found the keeper!

This BB cream is thinner in consistency than most BB creams but provides a nice level of coverage when applied with a brush, sponge or even your fingers. I also find a little bit goes a long way.

I have oily skin and the formula caters to that well, keeping the dewyness at bay until the evening. It has a pleasant fragrance that doesn't linger and holds well throughout the day even in warm weather.

I don't have sensitive skin but am prone to breakouts but find that this does not affect me! This may be to do with the oil-free formula.

The coverage is very good considering the consistency, it evens out my red patches and does a good job of shielding blemishes even before concealer.

The packaging is much more streamlined than the other Garnier BB creams, and i find the long thin bottle much more appealing as it fits more easily into my makeup bag.

With regards to price you can't really go wrong. I try to pick mine up when it's on special but find the RRP to be manageable, especially considering how much I like the product.

Overall I love this product, I think it's good value for money and great at doing what it says it does! It's easy to apply and long wearing. I would definitely recommend this to others who have been trialling other BB creams and are yet to find one for them.

I was hoping this product would cover up my problem areas (dry t-zone & dark circles under my eyes) & act as a concealer under my make up & give my face a more even look on makeup free days.

As soon as I unscrewed the lid, the cream bubbled out but when I used the initial amount that came out, had to squeeze quite a bit to get any more out. This meant the cream is now spread around the top & lid.

I first used it on my day off, so was hoping it would subtly blend blemishes on my face. When worn by itself, wouldn’t rub in smoothly, didn’t blend - kinda applied streakily. Also because the label said to rub it in like moisturiser, I rubbed it over my eyes & man did it sting!

It was good for covering up blemishes but not so good on the dark circles under my eyes.

The consistency was creamy but as I found it didn’t spread terribly well when applied straight to skin, I tried using moisturiser as a base. This allowed it to go on pretty smoothly.

Wore it for the next few days on top of moisturiser & under my mineral foundation but decided it made my skin look slightly yellow. My skin tone is a hard one to find foundation matches for though.

Also was a bit hard to remove with my foaming make up remover - had to use my make up scrub to get the last of it off in the shower.

I would recommend this to a friend if it came in a better bottle for application & I’d pass along they need to prime with moisturiser first.

This BB cream isn't that bad, but I prefer other asian BB cream I have tried as they have better coverage and does not have a runny water like consistency like this one. That is the only con I have about the Garnier BB cream and the fact the it is a little bit too dark for me. I have the lightest shade. I also noticed my face was less oily using this product.

I have to admit that I was a BB cream skeptic, I am a makeup user, loud and proud! Firstly, the cream blended well with my skin, went on nice and even, and I just used my finger tips to apply. I was surprised with the amount of coverage and just loved the luminous glowy look, which seemed to magically highlight my cheeks and hide under eye bags. Personally, I would prefer a slightly thicker consistency, but then it would be "makeup", right? I was also impressed with how it lived up to the claims on the pack of "minimising pores" and having a matte finish, no mean feat for a liquid product. In my opinion it's biggest flaw is it didn't seem to stick around all day, or through a gym session.

I really enjoyed this product! I have oily skin very prone to breakouts so I cant use just anything on my skin. It has a thin consistency so it was very easy and fast to apply great for being a mum on the run. I also found it stayed on all day without getting that 'melting off' feeling! Still had a bit of trouble with the 'red spots' but over all it evened out my skin nicely. Packaging was simple and clear, small product to pop in the bag as you rush out the door! Would definitely recommend!

My skin type is oily/combination, and although the consistency of the product was watery and left a lightly greasy residue it did have an excellent, buildable coverage- although it isn’t a full coverage BB cream. It has a semi matte finish that lasts for about 5/6 hours (this was also using a primer and pressed powder). This BB cream was so easy to apply; I only used my fingers and a beauty blender. However this BB cream doesn’t sit lightly on the face, it’s heavy and I could definitely feel it when it was on, but it gave a beautiful semi-matte finish which was almost identical to my foundation- except this product in ‘Light’ was still too dark for me. Another negative was its poor packaging, when it’s upside down the BB cream pours out so be careful! Additionally, this BB cream doesn’t settle in my creases and most definitely covers my redness although I’d have to build up coverage to hide my blemishes but luckily a little goes a long way. Also it doesn’t have an overpowering smell and meets most of the claims it states. So overall I would recommend this to others, and I would definitely wear it out if only it matched my skin tone. x

I got this in the lightest color and it was way to dark. I would not recommend for paler skin tones as it it quite orange and doesn't go light enough. I think there are only a few shades. However coverage is pretty reasonable for a BB cream and feels light weight. Easy to apply, I used my fingers similar to how I moisture and this worked for me. The coverage appeared very even. It also lasted a similar time to my other BB creams about 4 to 6 hours. I have sensitive skin and this did not break me out. Other than the colourings the only other major downfall to this product was it's packaging. I found the tube would leak out of the top when lid was off without any pressure on the tube. This is not ideal as the lid fills with product.
