Garnier Skin Perfector BB Cream Oil-Free Review

My opinion of this BB cream has changed dramatically - initially, I thought it was pretty great but now I'm not so sure. Even in the light shade it has an orange tinge which is awful and needs to be toned down with a powder to look any good. Upon even closer inspection it looks as though it tends to "grab" on to any dry patches and look pretty flakey. Not sure how I missed that in the beginning, I'll put it down to bad lighting or just not paying enough attention. I will try make it work but it shouldn't require that much effort in my opinion.

I really like this BB cream. It has a medium but buildable coverage. It is very easy to blend and sits well on my skin. However for me it doesn't really control oil too well and is not extremely long lasting. But this BB cream does seem to adjust slightly to better match my skin tone, which is a little bit lighter than the product.

I found the colour was good in "light". Maybe the reviewers who had trouble with orangeness were using "medium"? I liked the non-greasy effect on most of the face but this was too drying on the undereye area.

I had high hopes for this BB cream because I have heard lots of good things about BB creams in general. The light colour was a good match for my skin. I didn't like the finish of the product on my skin as it was really noticeable that I had something on. I didn't think it covered blemishes up particularly well either. Overall very disappointing.

I found this bb cream a little too sheer for me, I had used another brand previously which provided better cover than this one so was disappointed. I also found the colour wasn't quite right for me which I guess didn't help it's case. It did moisturise well though but did leave me a little shinier than I would like.

This was actually the first bb cream I ever tried, and it almost put me off. I found it was hard to spread evenly at first, though it was easier once warmed. It just looked really artificial and wrong on me lol. The colour was a bit dark (I had the light one as I'm reasonably pale) and it looked like too much liquid foundation, kind of cakey. It acted like liquid foundation too by sliding off my face during the day. My skins just too oily for this.

I must admit i use to LOVE this BB cream. I had a bottle of it in 'light' a while ago which was my go to. I had ran out after trying a couple other BB creams which I felt was no where near as good as this, so I purchased another bottle and I am sure the formula has been changed because it just seems to slide off my face and stick to my hands.

Used the other Garnier BB cream and loved it. This one doesn't apply so easily and I wouldn't buy it again. It made my skin look greasy - I gave this one away to a friend, and it suits her more than me.

I started out using the normal skin one and found it to be quite a heavy product to wear all day. So I switched to this Oil-free version and although it is lighter and it says it is supposed to combat oily skin I found that it was still to heavy for my pimple prone skin. I've recently switched to powder and wont go back. I think it is probably because it still contains an SPF. It would be interesting to see what a product like this, oil free, is like without a sunscreen in it.

this stuff is so good! buildable coverage, with about 5 pea sized amounts you could make your skin flawless like you've got foundation on instead. pretty affordable and lasts a long time. good for a base because it already covers half your flaws and redness :)
