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.

Looking Great

It's nice to be told your skins looking great - even when you are stressed and tired. Garnier BB Cream is so easy to apply, I use my fingers, it's so light and creamy, I do like a medium coverage and this is perfect, because I am oily I do still need to touch up during the day. Medium for me is a little dark - so I custom blend with some of the light shade, into a little plastic pump bottle. I'm a fan and have also converted friends from more expensive foundation.

Tips: Buy two shades if you feel the light is too pale or the medium is too dark, KMart and the Warehouse have specials on that make it the perfect bargain buy.

Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector BB Cream -

I have used a Garnier BB cream before and i didnt like it at all was thick and had a real orange colour so i was very excited to try this new one.I tried the BB cream for oily/ combination skin. I was very surprised with the consistency of it was much more light and runny and it glided onto my skin wonderfully. The shade was not as orange either. But that's where is really stops there. I found that it doesn't really stay on the skin very well so half way through the day my skin was very patchy and made my skin very glossy and oily looking. I have also noticed I have had quite a lot of break outs since using the Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector BB Cream. I do however liked how it covered up those blemishes nicely, and maybe it was just coincidental that I happened to breakout whilst using this product. It would be very interesting to read what everyone else says about this product to see if they had the same results as I did.

Tips: Have your BB cream handy for touch ups during the day.

Good value for money! (I used LIGHT shade)

I have oily skin, and was pleasantly surprised by this BB cream.

Despite it having a runny consistency at first glance, this bb cream seemed to thicken up when applied to my skin, it was easy to apply, and went on smoothly. I wanted to trial this BB cream as effectively as possible, so tried applying it with my fingers, a sponge, and a makeup brush on seperate occasions, it is definitely easier to apply with your fingers and I found that a little goes a long way using it this way, where as a brush or sponge in particular use quite a bit more as they soak up a lot of the make up.

The BB cream offers light coverage & a matte finish, and definitely helped to control my oily skin throughout the day. I have always had a problem with finding a foundation or BB cream that does not 'melt' off my face during the day, I did not have this issue with this particular BB cream at all. I was able to go the whole day with no shine on my skin, and coverage intact!

The packaging was nice and simple, just what you would expect from Garnier, and the smell of the actual make up is pleasant.

The only concern I have, is with the BB cream being a bit runny/watery (before going on your skin and thickening up), this makes it hard to get the right amount out of the tube, so just be careful with that to avoid wastage. The tube is a good size, and should last a long time.

This is definitely value for money, I will definitely be buying it again, and would recommend to everyone who has naturally oily skin.

Tips: Use alone for a natural look, or pop a foundation powder over the top for that extra coverage!

Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector BB Cream Oil-free

I found the product easy to apply using my fingers, this was my first time using a bb cream and this was quite runny. The colour was abit too orange for me, especially if you use more than one application. It was not able to cover my dark circles but this was not surprising as I need to use concealer but they worked well together. Would use again in conjuction with powder to tone down the orange. It feels light on your skin and has good staying power. You do not need to use much and it sets on your face nicely. I had no issues with oily skin while using this product. I feel the price is good value.

Tips: Need to be very careful not to spill it as its soo runny. Find a tester to get the right colour if possible.

Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector BB Cream Oil-free

To be honest I really wasn't sure what it was at all, so wasn't sure what to expect. I even had to Google what is was. At first because of my skin being sensitive I was a little apprehensive and i wasn't sure that the colour would work for me, Was i pleasantly surprised when I put it on! It was easy to apply and even gave my skin a glow, was light and smooth to apply. I have pigmentation and was so surprised at how well it covered up my uneven skin tone. Every day I put on foundation, but thought Id test how it lasted without putting anything else on my face, again I was so surprised at how well it lasted. There isn't any smell to it, which is a plus for me as I'm picky with the way things smell. My skin felt light and it seemed to stop my skin from getting all oily as it was normally be at the end of each day. The packaging made it easy to use, my only one complaint is that because of the cream being so light I had to turn it upside down before i took the lid off out of fear it would run out and drip on the carpet. Having SPF 15 in it is a huge bonus as I'm always conscience about having sunblock not to darken pigmentation and age spots. So overall I loved this product, and it did what it said it would do.

Oil Free BB Cream

i was quite excited to be in the trail for the BB Cream as ive never used it before, having oily skin (and prone to breakouts) i was a little skeptical that it would do what it said it would. pretty much as soon as i got it i was ripping open the packet to try it, pretty happy with tube size and amount, will probably last me awhile (maybe a few months+) since in not a daily makeup user. the cream itself is quite liquidity but not watery, i just used my fingers to put it on like i would any regular moisturizer, but i would recommend using a makeup pad to apply to stop it staying on your fingers. It was very easy to spread and blend into my face, covered my problem areas where i have blotching redness and acne. it didn't completely conceal acne but it did help reducing it visibly and seemed to help heal it also, which im pretty happy with!! i felt pretty good with it on, didn't feel like i had anything on my skin, and my husband couldn't even tell that i had it on, i never felt the need that i might need more on during the day, my skin was very soft and dry the whole day. i would definitely recommend to anyone that finds makeup harsh for there skin like i do.

Tips: my tips would be to wash and dry your face first and use a makeup pad to apply

Garnier BB Cream -Pleasantly surprised

I was pleasantly surprised with the Garnier BB cream. I have to say that initially I through that the consistency/feel of the liquid would be hard to apply evenly, however it went on beautifully and gave my skin a really lovely finish. I have freckles and I am not overly concerned about covering them. It is more the pigmentation on my skin that I would like to cover. The Garnier BB cream really did give coverage to all the imperfections (mainly the pigmentation) while letting my freckles still show through. Even after using the same daily tinted moisturiser for the last (roughly) 20 years, I am reluctant to actually stop using the Garnier BB cream. I will definitely be repurchasing this product.

Tips: You can layer the BB cream if you would like more coverage. I applied a second layer with my foundation brush and then my usual makeup routine and it stayed on all night. It really has great staying power.

Garnier oil free BB cream

I was very excited to be part of this trail as I have been using a different BB cream but wasn’t very happy with the results. I found that the Garnier cream was surprisingly runny but I still found it very easy to apply with my fingers and you only needed a small amount, once applied it gave me a lovely even coverage with a matte finish the colour matched my skin perfectly but it didn’t fully cover my pimples but it worked very well with concealer underneath, I also found that I wasn't oily by the end of the day and still felt like I still had a pretty good coverage which I don’t normally get. Overall I really liked this BB cream as it is a good sized tube and you only need such a small amount so it will last quite a while so I will defiantly keep using it. Thank you Garnier!

Tips: I found that I got the best results when I put a thin layer on all over left that to set for a few minutes and then added a little extra below my eyes and any imperfections.

Great coverage product

I have oily/combination skin, so I tried the oil-free BB cream.I found the product to be quite liquidy, this was a good thing though as it applied really smoothy and gave a really great, oil-free coverage. I applied a thin first layer and then applied one more layer which gave the perfect finish. It had a matte finish with a very slight/natural shine (not oily). It doesn't have much of a smell which I was happy with. I found by using this product, I only had to use a very small amount of powder over the top and it gave the desired look. The packaging was simple and overall I am happy with the product, I would purchase this myself. I have spoken to friends about the product who also use it and they are very happy with its coverage.

Tips: Apply a thin layer first and then build upon that.

Awesome BB Cream

What a great BB Cream. Have used the original BB cream and find the oil free BB cream to be far superior. The BB cream lasts all day and you don't get a sheen at all. Its fantastic. Great coverage, and consistency and easy to apply with just your fingers. I have sensitive skin and can suffer from eczema around my eyes and on my temple but dont react at all to this BB cream which is great. Cream definitely lives up to its claims and is great value for money. The only negative is the smell which is slightly chemically but once its on you can't smell it any longer. Would definitely recommend it to anyone!

Tips: For more coverage wait a couple of minutes and then apply a second coating.
