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.

does its job

Im not usually an overall fan of bb creams due to their lack ofe coverage I find that this one covers any redness very well and conceals well, the overall texture is very thin and runny not something that I am acostumed to using/wearing the formula seems to be very long wearing and does not melt towards the wnd of the day

overall I think that this bb cream does its job very well and the only dislike I have about it is the texture but that changes once applied to the skin anyway also this bb makes a really good primer/ base for foundation its a win/win from me xx

Really Happy With Result

I was extremely excited to be invited to trial this as I haven't had much success with BB creams before. My first time using this I was really happy with the results. It gave me a nice and even coverage and covered up all my redness that I have around my nose, help hide my dark undereye circles AND hide my enlarged pores! (I'm excited to see how my pores look after four weeks as it says that this BB cream can reduce pore size)

I loved how it gives your skin a nice matte look and at the end of the day it had definitely helped with keeping my skin shine free.

I got mine in the medium shade. My husband didn't even realize I had anything on my skin, thats how natural it looks. Its definitely my go to moisturizer now.

I also used this as a primer and it helped my foundation stay all day and because it controls oil, I didn't need to powder throughout the day to keep the oil at bay. It helped me to achieve an even coverage and gave me a flawless look.

I'm definitely a BB cream convert now

Tips: Wear a moisturizer underneath and let it try completely before putting the BB overtop. Helps to give you the best look possible and make sure you get the BB cream for your skin type :)

In love

Was so excited to be selected to be part of the trial team for this product! I generally wear a medium coverage foundation, and don't tend to go for the BB's or lighter foundations, but I honestly love this product! I've used this product every day since it has arrived and have noticed the difference in my skin. First impressions were quite good, I applied product with my fingers not a brush and the coverage was surprisingly good. I did apply some concerler to pimples as these weren't sufficiently covered by the BB. I had the lightest colour and this was perfect for my skin tone and blended out well. Overall i found the formula to be quite wet on my skin, but this did dry into my skin after a wee wait. After just about a week of using this I have noticed a bit of a difference in my skins tone. The colour is more even overall and i haven't got any new spots which is nice. Would recommend this to my friends in a heart beat, also good that there are lots of different formula for different skin types. Very glad that I got the oil free one I found that it stayed on my face for a full day without sliding off, if I was going to have an extra long day I would probably put a wee dust of powder on too just for the extra stay power. Im in love with this BB will be buying it when this tube has run out!

Good for evening out skin tone

I've been using BB cream on a daily basis for over a year now, so I was excited to try this one out. I found it quite good, it gives me a good thin coverage (doesn't exactly hide blemishes but sort of blends everything in and gives me a more even tone). Two things I noted though: Even though I ordered the lightest colour, it is still a bit too dark for my skin, so for very fair people out there, they may find the same problem. Also, the product is very liquidy and I found when I opened the lid it drips out all over the place and it's difficult to control how much comes out. Overall, I'm happy with it, but I think I'll stick with my usual BB cream as the shade suits my skin better.

Tips: Be careful when you open the lid! It may drip everywhere :)

Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector BB Cream - Oil Free

I was interested in trying this BB cream because I had heard mixed reviews and am quite a fan of BB creams lately. The coverage is quite sheer which you would expect from a BB cream, but it went on evenly and I found it reasonably buildable and not too cakey when I reapplied after the first layer set. Not the longest wearing product though, after a few (3-5) hours I found that it would break down a bit around my nose and chin. I like that this has SPF in it though, so great for wearing every day (but probably will save this one for my good skin days!).

Tips: I found the coverage quite sheer, but buildable, so if you want slightly more than sheer coverage wait for it to set and apply again!

I didn't enjoy this product.

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.

Oil disappears, then comes back!

I was really looking forward to giving this product a try. My forehead is generally the most oil prone part of my face so I was hoping it would get rid of that sheen I was all too familiar with.

It started out great! I got the light shade and it was a great match. It was easy to apply, albeit a little runny, but I had been told this by a friend so I was prepared when I opened it. It evened out my skin tone slightly, it moisturised and made my skin feel soft and the oil looked to be a thing of the past! But in about 3 hours, the shine had returned. I was quite disappointed!

I decided to give it another go but try it with a powder on top to see if it gave it a little more lasting power, and it did, but only an extra couple of hours. It just didn't seem to want to stay on my face!

I will still use it occasionally because I love that it gives a nice finish when it's first applied. Would be perfect on those days when you're running late for the school drop off or something similar, but for an all day lasting product, I'd be inclined to pick something else.

Tips: - Be careful when you first take the lid off as it has a very runny consistency. I store my bottle upside down to prevent it flying out when I open it too. - I like to use a powder on top to prevent the oil returning within a couple of hours.

BB creams seem to promise a lot ………

Straight off I could see my skin was more even and natural, the redness of my skin was hidden and my blemishes were less visible. The product is very liquidity so it goes on my skin smoothly and I love the fact that it feels light weight, my skin can actually breathe. It’s also SPF15 - a definite must these days.

My Tzone gets super oily (eeeewww) so I still used a powder to finish and still had to apply powder during the day to keep the shine at bay.

I recommend the Garnier BB cream for a natural look during the day. It won’t be replacing my normal beauty routine but I’ll defiantly be keeping in my cabinet for times when I'm in a rush and popping out to the supermarket or something.

Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector BB Cream Oil-free

I use BB cream on almost a daily basis and so I was excited when I discovered Garniers BB cream for oily skin. The formula itself was a runny consistency (Be careful when opening!) but went on evenly. Being a BB cream the coverage was light, but It did an amazing job at covering redness and those pesky dark under-eye circles. If you're after a natural look, then this is for you.

I found that while the BB cream was a lightweight, hassle-free alternative to foundation, it did little to reduce oiliness and by the end of the day the product had managed to disappear. In saying that, the tube is now empty so they must be doing something right ;)

Messy product, good coverage

Started by opening the tube and getting the product absolutely everywhere - turns out it is a lot thinner than the other Garnier BB Creams, more of the consistency of nail polish or thin foundation than moisturiser or concealer. Once on, however, the product spread well and gave great coverage, leaving my skin feeling smooth. It also didn't irritate my angular chellitis, which is a bonus as often new products do!

The product lasted quite well, too, only needing to touch up once or twice through the day.

Tips: Don't squeeze the tube too hard and do -not- leave in your hand bag/make up bag unless you're sure the lid is on WELL - unless you want BB cream all over everything, like I've ended up with....
