Garnier Skin Perfector BB Cream Oil-Free Review

BB creams are the best thing to use when you just want good coverage but you want it to feel light on your skin. I have oily skin with pimple scars on my cheeks, so it a holy grail product I use nearly everyday. My first impression of the BB cream is that it's really creamy, so the consistency is good as I won't dry your face out from being to thick or watery which may make your face look oily, which I defintely don't want. All I need is three pumps on my both of my finger tips and I start on my cheeks and then work my way under my eyes, chin, neck and last of all on my forehead as that is the place that I don't need much coverage. After using it for a week I feel the coverage isn't the best, at first I would need to put nearly 2 to 3 layers on my checks to cover my scars and that would only last about 3 hours. With the retail price being $17 is very reasonable compared to other leading bb creams. The packaging of the box could be more simple cause when you see it first you are just bombarded with so much information about the bb cream, which is then repeated at the back of the box. The tube on the other hand is elegant and simple. Overall I think the bb cream is worth your money and I would definitely recommend this product to girls that don't have scars on there face and just need some colour without putting heavy foundations.

The packaging was really packed with information which was was needed as this was my first time using BB cream. Packaging was easy to follow and understand. The shade I received was a bit too light for my complexion and I had to use another concealer to even up the skin tones. What was really great was that I didn't have to apply any mosturiser - just the BB cream. My skin was considerably less oily as no mosturiser was used before hand.

First off, I have oily/combination skin - I get oily especially around the nose and relatively normal skin elsewhere. I thought that I would be Medium skin-toned as I am olive skinned, however, it was much too dark and orange-toned for me, However, I continued to use it in order to test out the formula and whether it worked, before I think about possibly getting the light one. One thing I didn't like was how runny the consistency was, it made application messy. It did go on quite smoothly though which was good. I just used my fingers to apply it, but will look into using brushes or blenders when I get some.

In terms of coverage, it was a very light coverage, especially as I have a lot of acne scars and a few blemishes that it didn't cover, and putting on more than 2 layers started looking quite cakey.

My face stayed matte for quite a few hours but I did notice oily patches showing through after about 4 hours of wear. It does minimise the appearance of pores which is good, but it definitely does not cover redness and imperfections. I still need concealer to do all that. I would recommend it for people who have few blemishes and redness but if you need coverage, then this definitely would not be the product for you. The packaging is quite slim and handy to carry, but I don't like the tube because it just leaks out into the cap, and every time I open it to use, there's just a lot of product sitting in the cap which is both unhygienic and takes forever to clean. It doesn't dry out skin and hasn't broken me out so far which is good, as I have particularly acne prone skin.

Overall though, I would not repurchase as this does not meet my needs and I would most likely opt for liquid foundation with medium coverage instead.

I was sent the wrong colour but still used it in the days I was at home. I found it to be a bit oily and after two days I had massive breakouts around my nose and mouth. that being said it did have good staying power - no running nor did it wear off quickly - it reduced the redness around my cheeks and it was easy to apply (I used a spare foundation brush). it smells nice not like chemicals or over powering fragrance I would recommend giving it a try but be prepared for potential breakouts

I was not very impressed with this BB cream. My skin can get very oily and I was expecting this to work really well and stay matte all day like it advertises. However, it lasted about 3 hours max until it began to smudge, even with a primer on.

It has quite a runny consistency, and quite a lot of product is needed compared to the size of the tube. I applied it both with my fingers and with a foundation brush, and I found the foundation brush worked better as I found it to give better coverage this way. However, like I said before it only lasted a few hours before it began to run. It has medium coverage, and after application it does dry to a matte finish. It also doesn't have much of a smell.

The packaging is rather boring and could be more exciting than a beige colour, but this isn't a big deal. It does include the information about the product. This BB cream is fairly cheap, but I believe pricier ones might work better and last longer than this did.

I don't think this product worked as well as I was expecting it to and this was rather disappointing. It does not really do what it says it does. I would likely recommend this to a friend who does not have such oily skin because it may work for them, but it did not for me.

I was lucky enough to be sent a trial sample of the Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector BB cream for Combination to oily skin. I have quite oily skin so this was the one best suited to me. The consistency of this product is quite runny, so you need to be careful with it. But the tube is nice and slim-line so it would fit into your handbag really easily and the tip of the tube is really fine so it is easy to dispense. This is quite easy to apply, the best method is probably with your fingers as I find it really smoothes into your skin that way. I tried it with a beauty blender too, but this didn't really benefit the product. It doesn't really have too much of a scent, nothing overpowering anyway. The coverage of this was very light for me as I have a lot of blemishes, so I found it didn't really cover them too well, you would still need to use a concealer. It does take some of the redness away from your skin though, and the finish was quite dewy. The product lasted quite well during the day but then I wasn't really going out and about, I was just at home for that day. I have to say that I think you can get better for your money, this one is good if you just want a light coverage, but not so great if you want full coverage. I haven't really noticed any changes in my skin just yet, but I will keep using it to see if it makes any difference. So I would recommend to anyone who is looking for something like a tinted moisturiser, something natural to put on if you don't want to wear heavy foundation.

I've applied this with both a brush and my fingers, and had trouble getting it to sit evenly on my skin with both methods. Despite my brush leaving visible brushstroke marks on my face, the BB cream itself didn't offer very good coverage at all. I will admit I like a full coverage product but this did little to even out redness or cover blemishes.

The description of this product states that it gives the skin 'a healthy glow', but also providing a matte finish. I'm not quite sure how these things can both be true at once. I would describe the finish as a true matte so if you do like a low coverage, matte product, this may be for you.

after using the anti aging BB cream, I had high hopes on this but was sadly disappointed. Colour was lighter than expected, and it made my skin feel very dry. After two days of use, my skin broke out in pimples.I Dont like it

I have combination skin but more towards the oily side. I generally dont get that many blemishes or pimples but when i do they are often quite red. After my normal facial routine i applied the BB cream to my face and found it covered up my blemishes well and didnt leave a cake like look. The consistancy was great and i found it very easy to apply to my face. I really like wearing the bb cream for the first couple of hours but after that i found it became very shiny and felt very oily on my skin leaving it looking a bit yucky compared to when it was first applied. Im not sure whether this was due to my own natural oily skin or whether this is what happens with this product. I would certainly try this product again but prehaps when i felt my skin wasnt behaving so badly (oily). I suggest give it a go and see if it works for you as i personally loved the initial look.
