Garnier Skin Perfector BB Cream Oil-Free Review

This used to be my go-to product before I started really getting in to make-up. I found that it had good coverage while also moisturizing my skin. I also found that this did in fact help slightly reduce the oiliness of my skin.

I do, however, have some cons. (1) The product only comes in 'light' or 'medium' so it does not fit all skin tones... I'm lucky in that the 'light' formula has a more yellow-ish base to it which suits my skin tone somewhat - if only slightly more on the yellow side, and (2) it is sometimes very runny and so can get a bit messy from time to time (its spilled in my bag a few times and has been known to quickly drip off my hands when I'm trying to twist the lid back on)... because of this I've also had cases where the product has run a bit on my face.

Would I buy it again? ... yes I would, but only as a form of moisturizer or on good face days... and that is only if my skin tone still fits the 'light' shade.

Would I recommend it to others? ... It depends on the skin tone of the individual and the type of skin they have... but yes I would.

Price: The price generally ranges from $10-$17NZD so it is not too expensive if you want to try it.

I am all about the "natural look", i used to never wear foundation or anything expect just moisturising my face before i started using this BB CREAM. This was my first coverage based product that i really liked and i still do. I have used this product for about 2 and half years, it worked really well for me hence i didn't try another brand.

The good: - reasonable price for a reasonably sized product. - comes in a tube which is easy to use, you can control how much you want to take out so that way it saves you from wasting or taking out too much. - lasts long (quantity wise) - good coverage - really good for oily skin - just settles on the face well - gives it a natural look ! - leaves face feeling soft I am not confident with foundations because of my pores, but this product really just settles on my face and doesn't make my pores obvious. It makes my skin look fresh and natural, my face doesn't get oily throughout the day. It hides the marks on my face. I have only used this because i am scared to try another brand but i have stuck with this only because i feel confident when i wear it, i am not worried about my pores or if it looks caked. It also doesn't make my skin to breakout. I have sensitive skin, so if you think you have oily and sensitive skin i would recommend this :)

Not so good: -only comes in 2 shades (light andmedium ) Can be hard for some people to find the right colour. - coverage doesn't last the whole day but hey most foundations don't too but this surely does the job.

I would definitely use this from time to time depending on where i am going :) i use it less now because i am trying foundations otherwise this is my favourite bb cream and the only one i would stick with and use :)

I tried this as a tinted moisturiser when I was a bit lazy and didn't want a full face of makeup and also as a primer for when I got all dolled up, I found it a bit shiny and oily around my nose, temple and forehead and under my foundation it seemed to roll off my nose. I did like it under my eyes as I got less creasing but overall I wouldn't reach for it over my other products. I paid $6 off trademe so was worth a try.

Great BB cream. Its light weight, comfortable and it looks natural on the skin. the scent is amazing and the coverage is nice and high for a BB cream. Although i have dry skin this BB cream is still really nice as it doesn't tend to dry out my skin at all. my only wish is that the product had more colours because the lightest shade is still too dark for me.

I got this on a 25% off special so it was nice and cheap, that's always a bonus when you're trying something for the first time. I've used the medium skin tone variant and found the colour to be a really good match. I wouldn't call it a "miracle" at all but it really does even out your skin tone and give a light colour coverage that is not as heavy as foundation. Probably the only downside is that it does tend to dry my skin out slightly.

I would use this product again as the colour and coverage are great for when you don't have the time or need for foundation but still want to look good.

Great affordable product, fantastic matt result (especially for my oily 30yo skin), altho i did seem to loose product from the tip of my nose rather quickly!? easy to apply, light-weight, evens complexion with good coverage, redness, spots and acne imperfections are minimised. Downside? product is quite runny and has a strong alcohol tupe smell but bearable for the results. Love it.

I was suspicious. With the palest skin tone known, I wasn't sure how the colour would work on my skin. But it blended perfectly, and reduced my redness! Garnier BB Cream is much lighter than my normal tinted moisturizer, and doesn't rub off in an obvious way like foundation. All in all, I really liked it.

The thing that got me excited the most about this product was the low price. I have quite dry skin so need to moisturise first. It is quick and easy to use if you don't have time in the mornings for regular foundation. Only real down side is that it slides off your face if you sweat or in the rain...

If you haven't tried BB creams before and have normal to moderately oily skin, I do recommend giving this a try. It has a lovely, even coverage that does last all day. I still have to apply a little concealer on my under eyes and over any especially red blemishes but this does have staying power. However it doesn't really prevent oiliness. While it stays on, my skin is pretty much an oil slick by the afternoon (even if I've powdered after application).

I think that this would be a great oil free BB cream if your skin is only a little oily, but my mega oily skin should probably start looking for something different to wear everyday. The reason I have continued to re-purchase this is the price and availability, it's under $20 and I can buy it in the supermarket, so I think that's a real selling point for Garnier and they should be commended.

I found this quite good. During the day I found it did oxidize a little bit causing me to have an orangey face (not so hot!). But it does go on smooth and has a good amount of coverage whilst still looking natural.
