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.

Better than expected

I was really excited to try this BB cream as I had heard good things from friends about this so I had quite high expectations and after using this every day for the past week it has really lived up to these! For myself this has been a great alternative to wearing foundation every day, as during the week I don't like to wear to much makeup. I really love this product and it has definitely been the best BB cream I have used. I much prefer this to a tinted moisturiser as it has better coverage and with oily patches tinted moisturiser can leave me looking a bit shiny. The consistency is very runny which makes it easy to apply with a foundation brush and blend easily over your face, only a small amount is needed as a little goes a long way. The medium colour was perfect for me. It looks very natural and leaves a very even look over my whole face with a nice matte finish which is just what I like. My pores and imperfections were definitely less visible, it had really great coverage especially when I applied a second coat I thought it looked better than my current foundation. I can't wait to use this in summer as it is lightweight but still gives a great coverage and helps with the oily patches on my face. It lasts well throughout the day but a downside for me is that even though it feels like it is dry it still comes off quite easily when clothing touches my face. This is an amazing BB Cream for such a low price and can be purchased almost anywhere. Overall I feel this is a great product and does everything it says it will. I will be recommending it when asked what BB cream I have found to be the best and definitely buying it once this one has run out.

Tips: Use with a foundation brush otherwise it can be quite messy

Pleasantly Surprised

I was very keen to try this product as I've never used a BB cream before. Generally when I put something on my face, it feels clogged, and I sweat. This is so light, I was amazed at how it felt. No shine, a lovely matte finish which I love. My nose is very greasy and I couldn't see any grease at all for the whole time I had the product on. Long lasting and certainly does as it says! I'm converted!

Tips: I found it easier to dab dots on my face, then blend in, rather than put on 'like moisturiser' as instructed on the packet

I have used many BB creams and not thought alot of them. Garnier Miracle BB cream does everything it says it will and I will happily keep using it. I have been using it now for 5 days and love it it covers well hides a scar I have on my cheek stays on all day and has improved the overall apperance of my skin. it is light to wear does not dry out the skin absorbes instantly and has a wonderful matt finish. I have sensitive skin and had no problems at all it .I would highly reccomend this product to anyone :)

Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector BB Cream Oil-free

I love this product.It is affordable and available in any supermarket and chemist. For a BB cream, it offers light to full coverage but still manages to feel light on the skin. I used this at work and it manages to stay on without wearing off for at least 8 hours. It does control oil most of the time. It is plus points in convenience as I dont have to use concealer anymore to even it out. It is perfect for me as I am in a rush most mornings.the formula though is very runny so I have to be careful in storing and opening it. I will definitely buy this product again.

More orange then I wanted

I love BB creams and looked forward to trying this one.

I wore this for five days, normally my skin tone suits medium however with this shade it was a bit orange for me, and did not blend very well. I put it on before 9 am and it had only started to lose its wear about 5pm, so it lasted all day.

I like the small amount you need and how easy it goes on, apart from been a darker shade it covered my flaws - pigmentation and a few pimples well and when I covered it with a light powder it took the dark tone right down and had a nice matte finish.

In regards to it being good for oily skin i would agree, my skin did not look or feel oily all day.

Considering it has SPF in it, it has a pleasant odor and once its on does not smell at all.

Overall I would of been very happy with this BB cream but do not think it is suited to a medium tone and will try it again in a light tone.

Tips: use a very small amount..very small or you will be super orange.

its very runny so be careful when squirting it.

Amazing tinted moisturiser

I really loved this BB cream and am pleasantly surprised. I have used tinted moisturiser before and it made me look really orange. With this one it didn't though. It is really easy to use, and a little goes a long way. I use a $2.00 coin sized amount and it covers my whole face. I do this at about 7 am every morning and it lasts all day until I get home after 6 and I don’t have to do any touch ups throughout the day. It makes my skin feel really soft and covers my dark circles, other blemishes and gives me an even complexion. It doesn't feel heavy on my skin or make it feel irritated or oily. I have been using it over a week now and noticed that my skin doesn’t feel as oily. And it doesn't smell bad like I thought it would (like body tan), it doesn’t have a smell really. I will definitely use this product again and recommend trying it!

Tips: Be careful when you open this product. It is quite runny and you don't need to squeeze it! I also recommend you put the lid on it before you put it down anywhere because it will spill out quickly!

A decent BB cream!

I typically use asian BB creams as they tend to work better with my colouring (NC25-30) so I was very interested in trialling this Bb cream as I could buy it locally without the shipping wait! It is packaged in a sturdy slim tube with a precision tip applicator so it is easy to get just the right amount. I loved that this is oil-free as my past BB cream experiences have been a bit varied and some have not lasted as long as I'd like as I get oily patches on my forehead and just above my chin.

First off, I chose the light shade which matched quite well to my light-medium asian skin, once applied I could barely tell I was wearing anything except that my skin tone was smoother and imperfections were way less noticeable. It didn't need to oxidise on the skin unlike some BB creams which is a huge bonus as I didn't have to wait to go out and it didn't have the greyish tone which the BB creams from Asia usually give me when I first apply. It blended in nicely and I would say the finish is a light-medium coverage.

It did last most of the day with only a few patches disappearing. Overall, a lovely BB cream which is perfect for the days you want a little bit a coverage without creating the full makeup face.

Tips: I like to use a powder to set the BB cream and to make it last longer.

An OK BB

I'm a huge fan of asian BB creams, so I was interested to try a european BB and see what it was like.

On initial application, the BB felt smooth and easy to apply, and it gave a good amount of coverage. The light shade perfectly matched my NW 15-20 skin and I was happy with the finish - not entirely matte as it says, i'd day its more of a demi-matte, satin finish.

As always, I set the BB with powder - I always do this with BB cream. However, after about 4 hours of wear I started looking very greasy and oily - not what I expected from a BB targeted for oily skinned peeps like me :(

I touched up with powder at lunch time, but unfortunately at about 4pm I was looking like a greaseball again.

Overall - it's a good BB cream that would suit dry/normal skin, but if you are combo/oily I would steer clear, unless you are ok with touching up. It gives nice coverage but I personally don't think it should be marketed as specifically for oily skin, because it didn't work for me.

Fantastic!

I loved this product. It worked really well on my skin. It gives good coverage and is perfect for those days when you don't want to use full make up but need something to make you look good and to cover those imperfections.

Tips: Don't use too much or it will look streaky. Saves money as you don't need to use a moisturiser, concealer and make up.

Garnier Miracle BB Cream

I used every morning after moisturising and found a little bit went a long way. It gives a nice even coverage without leaving a greasy feeling. I have been using it instead of foundation and it works well as it's very light and natural looking, and stays on all day. I love it and will continue to use it!
