The BB cream does what it says... it brightens and gives your skin a light coverage. However, I just didn't like the texture. It seemed a bit dry and I felt I needed to moisturise my skin before putting on the BB cream (and I have combination normal to oily skin type). I have very fair skin, and the light colour was simply too dark for me. It's a good product, but it just didn't tick all of the boxes for me.

Garnier Skin Perfector BB Cream Oil-Free Review
***THIS PRODUCT HAS BEEN DISCONTINUED. FIND THE NEW FORMULATION HER***
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.

Reviews
Matches my skin colour perfectly. Love the texture and the coverage. However, despite being oil free, it still causes my skin to breakout if I use it regularly. Not the type of blemish I normally get either, instead they are ones that sit below the skin. As other reviewers have said, within hours skin looks shiny!
I use this the Garnier BB Cream daily. I tried the other BB cream by Garnier but didn't do it for me. But this new oil-free formulation i love. It's very light, at first I didn't think it would have such good coverage as it isn't thick.. But as i applied, I could definitely see the difference, and actually hides imperfections. As a mother of a 2 year old, i no longer have time i used to, to take my time with make up, but this helps a lot with my daily routine. My skin gets quite oily throughout the day, and this helps a lot. Best thing about it.. You can buy it at the supermarket!
Tips: I definitely recommend using a foundation brush or buffing brush as it gives the best even and great result. Also i put a translucent powder on top to keep it lasting throughout the day.
I hated the first original BB cream because of its hard to work with formula, I found it very tacky and shiny and very patchy from sweating (even just slightly). When the new formula came out I was keen to try it. I purchased both light and dark colours and mixed them and the shade still wasn't right, I had to blend down my neck alot, I feel like the stay power with a good powder on top was very good with the slight exception of it looking cakey. I personally felt a burning sensation when I put it on, but I think that was the alcohol in it, I also broke out from this BB cream so it's not for me. But it not a bad product but its not an amazing product either, I think it's each to their own with this one girls! X
I didn't like original Garnier BB cream but when I saw the oily-combination one I had to try it out. The reason I never liked the first one was because it made my face look shiny so I always had to use powder over top. I was able to use this oily skin formula by itself. Out of all the BB creams I have tried it has the best coverage. The only con was that the liquid was far too runny. Maybe it has to be for the formula to be effective, I don't know. But it made it a little more difficult to blend.
Tips: Don't put more than one layer on or it can go blotchy.
I really like this product as I dont like to wear a lot of make up. I have quite a lot of freckles and it smoothes my complexion out nicely. Have recommended to lots of my friends and they have all enjoyed using it and is part of most of their daily routines!
Tips: I wear it as a base, I mix it with a wee bit of foundation if I want a longer lasting wear, add blush, mascara and clear lipgloss for an everyday look.
I use this because it's easy - SPF, light coverage, the right price - but I can't get past the chalky feel it leaves on my skin.
The blemish coverage is only light and doesn't cover red and pigmented areas . I'm wondering if at 36, this cream is better suited to younger breakout- prone skin. On the whole though, the coverage is fine for casual days when you don't feel like wearing a full on foundation.
For dry skin, this cream is not a complete moisturiser. If there was a 'dry skin' formulation and a higher SPF rating, then this would be a must-have product for summer. I would happily overlook the texture issues for all that.
Tips: If you have dry skin, moisturise first.
Loved the texture. Fab coverage (not too thin and not too heavy) but found after having it on a few hours my face started to shine!
I use this on a daily basis and find it is great for weekends with no makeup or just as a moisturiser before applying foundation
This was far too drying for my winter skin and the shade despite being very pale (which I love about it) was still a shade or two to dark for me - now it is summer though and the hot weather and the slight change in my skintone and this is the perfect summer wear BB cream as despite having normal/dry skin the heat always melts most bb creams and makes me look shiny in the warmer weather. This is perfect and it has great coverage, I still use a regular moisturiser underneath for reference. One of the most pigmented/coverage providing BB creams I have tried this is almost like a true foundation.
Tips: If you are rather fair and have tried the other Garnier BB creams and found them too dark give this a go as it is quite pale toned. Works for my drier skin in the summer but not for winter.
