I was lucky enough to try this alongside Garnier BB cream for oily skin because I wanted to see which one worked better for me. I have fairly oily skin and it is sensitive to creams and foundations that are heavily scented. so I thought this product would work perfectly for me. It comes in a fairly large tube, similar to a tube of lotion. It has a slight fragrance, but I actually find it quite pleasant. It has a thicker cream consistency, which is quite misleading becauae when you apply it to your skin it turns to a much more runny consistency.
The problem came when I applied it. It offers little to no coverage. I have somewhat problematic skin, and was basically just hoping this would smooth out my skin tone a little bit. Unfortunately, immediately after I applied it, I saw that it accentuated every flaw, although I can say it did cover my redness. It applied very unevenly and made my skin look extremely shiny. I wouldn't have minded the dewiness if it had even a little coverage, but all it did was make me shiny on top of making blemishes stand out more. It never truly sets into your skin, either, but remains kind of sticky and wet. Setting with a powder doesn't help either, because the consistency of the cream does not mesh well with powder.Â
To anyone looking to try a Garnier BB cream, I would definitely recommend the oily skin formula over this one, even if you have dry skin. If you moisturize and don't use a powder, it doesn't make your skin look dry but rather gives you a nice matte finish.
One thing it did have was it didn't irritate my skin at all which I loved. When I usually buy foundations or moisturizing creams it leaves my skin with a tingling feeling and can cause a lot more redness but this BB cream was very mild which is great.
The first thing I noticed about this BB cream is it's very thick texture and how it smells of some chemical. I usually used Korean BB creams like Lioele and this compared to the one I use, this one has less coverage - it makes my skin looks natural and dewy. I have acne-prone skin and this BB cream did not break me out so it is suitable for sensitive skin. Another good thing about this is that it doesn't accentuate the dry patches of skin on my face (a lot of other bb creams tend to do this). Overall this is an O-K bb cream but it's not one I would wear everyday because of it's light coverage.
Tips: This BB cream makes you very dewy so I recommend using a setting powder.
