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.

Light & smooth

I really liked this BB cream. My skin can get quite oily so the oil free option was great for me. It was very light on my skin & coverage was great with only using a small amount. I used a make up sponge to apply & the cream gave my skin a smooth, matte look. I didn't notice any fragrance to the cream which is good as i personally don't like fragranced makeup. The packaging of this product was slimline & pleasing to look at. It was a decent sized tube with a fine nozzle making it easy to use. I only needed a small amount for each application so the tube would last me at least a couple of months! It lasted all day when used on it's own & i found my foundation lasted longer when i used the BB cream as a base. Overall i really liked this product & would definitely recommend it & use it again.

Tips: Use a sponge for great coverage & definitely use under foundation for an all day look.

not a new bb cream user

I've used a few japanese bb creams in the past so I was excited to try Garnier's take on them!

I found the texture interesting, more like a liquid foundation rather than a cream, a little goes a long way. I found I often had a lot more than i needed as it was hard to just get a little bit out of the tube.

All in all it provided great oil coverage, I will be excited to see how it works over 4 weeks, I will probably buy again as it's a great all rounder.

The colour match was perfect for my fair skin, and made a great base for bronzer and blush ^^ gave my skin a glow and didn't get flakey or dry during the day. Managed to hide my thin skin and lasted well.

Tips: apply with a foundation brush, only using a little and adding more if needed.

Super Pleasing Experience

I love this product. My skin is combination - the classic T zone - but also quite mature and with a few redish patches so I have a challenge managing the shine and pigmentation without losing the glow. This BB cream goes a long way to addressing my issues. I found the tube with the fine tip made it easy to apply the right amount. The consistency was more watery than I expected, but it still provided a great cover and went on easily. I just squirted a very small amount (about half a pea-size) into the palm of my hand, and used my fingers to apply. Fragrance free. I used the product both as a foundation on its own with powder finish and as a primer before my regular foundation. Used on its own, the shine was kept under control for a good 4 hours. I then blotted and put on some more powder and was good for the rest of the day. Used as a primer, the finish was even better (but a more formal make up look) and lasted longer. I haven't used the product long enough to know if it has long term benefits, but as a day to day pore-refiner and cover, this is easily the best product I have used. I don't know how much it costs as I was lucky enough to be chosen for the trial, but as this product is availabe in supermarkets, I'm betting it is much more reasonably priced than my more expensive beauty counter product. I'll be using this BB cream from now on.

Tips: Just use a tiny amount. A second "spot" application over a couple of red patches covered them completely without looking caked on. Great as a primer under your regular foundation for a more formal makeup.

Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector BB Cream

Firstly a confession ... I chose the Medium colour when I probably should have chosen Light. So the colour was a little bit wrong (orange) on me, but I persisted anyway. It went on easily, although it was a little more runny than I'd expected. It didn't really smell of anything, which was nice. It stayed well on my face during the day, and covered most blemishes and dark areas. I will definitely keep on using it, although I might buy the Light shade for the future.

Tips: Be careful the first time you use it, it's a bit runny.

Garnier BB Cream

I loved this. My skin is usually dry on my forehead, but I always have spots and oily parts on my chin, but the cream covered this up without looking caked on and heavy. It also lasted and still looked good at the end of my long days working in a busy cafe as well, which not much makeup survives, so I was really impressed. The cream is quite runny, it did come out of the tube very fast. But it was easy to apply and didn't require much fussing around with blending. It gave a nice matte finish, and evened out my many freckles. I will definately continue to use this product. I got so many compliments on my skin during this trial period!

Tips: If your skin is a little bit dry in places, I mixed the BB cream with a little moisturiser. I still got a good coverage, but no scaly patches

Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector BB Cream

I've been trying this BB cream out for the past week and I have to say I am a big fan. The BB cream is a thin consistency and gives a natural, healthy glow to the face. It covers up red patches but still looks very natural. I like how the product is very sheer on the face and does not look at all cakey. Overall this is a great everyday BB cream for anyone who does not want to wear too much make up!

Tips: Put a powder on top of the BB cream and you'll be good to wear this all day without foundation as it provides plenty of coverage!

A BB Cream for me! (And hopefully for you)

I have found my perfect BB cream. This has not been an easy task, and now that I have found Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector BB Cream Oil, I can, at last, give up the search. I have been trying to jump on this BB cream band wagon for well over a year now; and who wouldn't be, BB creams are everywhere you look, promising the Earth... And from my experience, undelivering. I have had BB creams that make my skin super shiny, and I've had BB creams that leave flakes all over my face and clothes - not a good look! But Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector was just what I have been trying to find. I have combination skin, an oily forehead but often a dry nose and chin, and Garnier's BB cream has left my skin a nice even tone all over. It is enough of a moisturiser to hide the dry patches I have, but keeps my face nice and matte all day. I put this on my skin straight after cleansing, and it provided enough coverage for me to feel comfortable going to work without feeling the need for make up - love it! It is a nice, light cream which slides smoothly over the skin and provided me with an even coverage, instantly making me look more refreshed and awake by hiding the darkness around my eyes, as well as covering red blemishes, giving me a really natural look and feel. The bottle is designed well to help you get out every last drop, and I found this BB cream to be fragrance free so I could wear this without anyone knowing I was wearing it - this BB cream blends in so well that I could quite easily have pretended I wasn't wearing anything at all - my secret weapon ;) I consider the price to be extremley reasonable, as I have been using this cream for two weeks now and the bottle appears untouched, so I imagine it is going to last me for yonks. I am also saving money on foundation and concealer by not having to use them everyday! I will now only wear foundation and concealer on days where I want to look more made up, or special nights out. The only thing to be aware of with this BB cream is if you are prone to slightly shiny skin like me is to wear the BB cream alone. A couple of days I experimented with wearing my usual light moisturiser underneath the BB cream for an extra bright look. This looks great first thing, but by mid afternoon I found my face starting to shine. The BB cream lasts all day if you wear it alone for my particular skin type. I would have absolutely no hesitations in recommending this to all of you Beauty Addicts like myself, and to anyone else who will listen also - even if it does mean giving up my secret weapon of how I have such 'naturally' beautiful skin ;) I hope you enjoy this product as much as I have, it has certainly restored my faith in BB creams!

Tips: Just like a foundation (but a lot lighter!), I did find it best to use a tissue to wipe around the hairline/eyebrows to ensure you don't have any cream hiding there - a dead giveaway that the perfect skin is not as natural as I like to make out!

Easy to apply

I loved the Garnier Oil free BB cream. So easy to apply with your fingers, just like you do with moisturiser. No noticeable smell. Liked the thin nozzle type tube so you don't over use. It gives a nice matt finish which seemed to last the day, even on my t-zone oily skin. Gave a nice coverage over my red cheeks without feeling heavy. Felt natural to the touch during the day, but did notice that it does rub off and needs to be reapplied. Not long enough trial to see skin changes, but will revisit this review and advise any changes in a month or so. Will definitely be buying this product as an easy no fuss foundation for me over the winter months. Have purchased the anti-ageing in the past which looked a little shiny, but the oil-free was much better for my skin type without having to apply anything like powder over the top. If you haven't tried a BB cream before, would recommend you try Garnier, choosing which of the 4 types available, suits your skin type best. Like me if your skin is oily I think the oil free might work a lot better than the anti-ageing which I initially bought as I'm 45+!!

Tips: Have a second BB cream in your handbag for touch-ups during the day.

Garnier Oil-Free BB cream.

I was super excited to be selected to be on this trial. I received my BB cream last week, and since then I have been using it everyday to make sure I had a fair trial of the product.

First impressions of the product. On receiving the product I read the box that it came in, have seeing this before in stores but never reading it. It had instructions for use and a claim for both short term and long term benefits of this product. The formula itself came in a long tube with a secure cap. The tube is perfect for travel as you can be sure the product won't leak all through your bag!

My skin type is combination, although it leans towards the oily side. In Winter my skin becomes dryer than normal, but still oily so I figured this product would be perfect for me. The consistency of the formula is thin and very runny! Make sure you don't squeeze the bottle to hard or you will get too much product. The product is very easy to apply. I used to beauty blender to apply, this gave a smooth finish, a lot of people use their fingers to apply the product but I hate using my fingers to apply my make-up! This product does not have a smell, at least as far as I can tell it doesn't. This product gives a sheer coverage, although you can build it up for a fuller coverage. The finish is matte. I found that the product lasted for around 5 or 6 hours, although it last's longer if you apply finishing powder after using the BB cream. This product is reasonably priced for what it is, I would use it over the other BB cream's I have tried. As I have only been using this product for a week, I have not seen any of the long term results. Although I am excited to see if I will benefit from the products promised long term results! When using the product I noticed that it minimised my pores and redness, it also gave my skin a nice healthy glow and a matte finish! I would definitely recommend this to a friend.

Tips: If using a sponge to apply the BB cream, make sure it is damp so it does not absorb a lot of the product!

My New Daily Staple Item

I have always had combination skin, making the staying factor of my make up a constant challenge. When I saw this BB Cream, I wondered if this might finally provide a solution. My first use of the BB Cream was nottoo good, i applied like a moisturiser and so ended up with way too much product on my face! ha ha. However, on day 2 I just added a drop to each finger tip on my left hand and dabbed on my face before blending in. The Cream is runnier than I was expecting, but blended into my face beautifully. I did find that i had to store the tube upside down to prevent the product pouring out when opened. Application - is it easy to apply? How did you apply it? The coverage was great, I found that just 4 small drops was enough for my face, and that it stayed in place all day long. Usually at the end of the day when I cleanse my face, there is hardly any make up left (except mascara) but since using this BB Cream I have noticed that I still have nearly a full face of make up. Yay, finally my make up isn't running off during the day!! I think this has a great price, does what it says it will do, the packaging is easy to store and get the product out of, but for a first time user, I think a bit more application instruction would be handy. However, like i mentioned before, I recommend storing it upside down to stop the cream running out when you open it - saves mess, and product wastage. I have already told my friends around this, and will definitely be continuing to use it. After just 2 days I received compliments about how fresh and clear my face was looking :) Can't wait to see how my skin continues to improve as after just 1 week it seems to be less oily and less red. I also love the fact I haven't had to use foundation with this either!!

Tips: Less is more. Start out with a few small dabs, and ad more product if you need it. Adding too much makes you look like an extra from Jersey Shore!! ha ha
