Garnier BB Cream - Sensitive Review - Medium

I have tried the Garnier BB Cream before, but not the sensitive one, so I was keen to give this one a go!

I didn't really notice much of a difference between the sensitive and normal one. I do have quiet sensitive skin, but the routine I follow daily for my skin care regime has meant that it has improved a lot.

The consistency of the product was thickish like that of a moisturiser. It behaved like a moisturiser as well, giving my skin an extra boost of moisture.

I applied this with my hands, and with a makeup brush, both giving a similar finish. I would on a daily basis, if I wasn't heading out anywhere fancy use this like a foundation and set it with a powder on top. I also used it as a primer before my foundation. Using the product as a primer helped with the application of my foundation and I felt I didn't use as much product.

The coverage was very light, and mildly blurred my imperfections, but compared to other bb creams I've tried it doesn't compare in this regards.

I do like this for a boost of moisture, which it was great for, but I really didn't notice any 'Miracles' happening. Great for people on a budget and if your in a rush in the morning as the application can be super speedy!

I have oily, acne prone skin that is also very sensitive but at the moment am on medication for the acne which has dried out my skin so I only need to treat the sensitive part topically. This product feel so nice on my dry, sensitive skin; it's cooling and my skin feels like it's drinking it in.

The product itself is very creamy, I have tried applying it with both my finger and a brush and must say I prefer my finger as it seems to warm ip the product and melt it into the skin. The coverage is quite light but is buildable to a light/medium coverage when using a brush.

I've used this product on its own but it doesn't have great staying power. It works nicely as a primer under my usual makeup routine and makes my skin dewy and moisturised before putting on my makeup.

All in all I do really like this product, the garnier bb for oily skin has more coverage and looks more like foundation on the skin, where this one is like a more pimented tinted moisturiser which is really what my skin need at the moment.

I tried the anti ageing version of this the day prior, and was not overly sold on the fragrance. I was pleasantly surprised with the lack of fragrance in this one (which would make sense seeing as it is a sensitive skin product) so it already had scored a point with me! It applied smoothly, felt comfortable and gave a nice natural coverage that while not great at covering imperfections, evened out my skin tone nicely and with a bit of concealer around my eye area, was enough for me to step out for the day! By the end of the day, my skin still looked fresh and even and I felt that it obviously had better staying power than the anti ageing one. I think this would be great for any skin type - I'm on the dry side, and this felt comfortable. I think it would probably sit well on all but the oiliest skin too. I will continue to use this on weekends/casual days and would probably re-purchase.

i have been a lover of Garnier products for a long time and when this trial came up i jumped at the chance.

Personally i probably had the best/worst weather to test this product. But in heavy rain and wind. It still gave some converage and reduced redness.

I like this product it's perfect for busy people that have no time to put on foundations and all the other potions. It's a quick fix.

I have very rosey cheeks and i found with just this it does minimise my redness which is wonderful.

the only problem i found was the consistancy. But this is coming from a a person that doesn't use liquid foundation and never used BB cream before.

Other wise it is the perfect quick fix make up and i think it's well worth it's money.

I use a particular moisturiser every morning and when I use anything new my skin reacts and breaks out. I didn't break out and it's been almost a week and no breakouts :) I noticed how smooth it was to apply, just the right consistency and I loved how much more 'awake' I looked.. Not to mention the coverage was awesome. I have noticeable freckles and they were gone after the 2nd application.. I would def be buying more of this.

I have very sensitive skin so am always weary of trying new products. I had hopes for this BB cream to become an everyday wear product. I loved how it felt going on. It was light and easy to apply, just like a moisturizer. BB cream had a lovely sheer coverage and It did give my skin a lovely glowing look which i liked. However, not long after applying my skin became blotchy on my cheek bones. I also noticed that it easily came off if i brushed against something. I would recommend to people who dod not have very sensitive skin however for skin like mine i do not recommend.

I have dry very sensitive skin. Most products I have used breaks me out in weepy dermatitis. This has caused NO itchiness, no dryness and more importantly, not so thick as to sit in eye creases and make it look like you are wearing loads of makeup! I dont want to have a mask amount of makeup on and this smooths out the skin nicely and gives me great even tone. I use it as an all day make up and I will definitely be buying again. The price is affordable for such a great product

Consistency is thick yet easy to blend. Maybe a little bit too glittery for my liking and found at end of the day I looked very shiny. Has good coverage and looks very natural. Good for those minimal make up days. Not my fav BB cream but still worth a try!

Skin type - I have combination - oily skin, with a few blemishes and acne spots, and I get a bit of redness on my cheeks. I also have super sensitive skin.

Consistency - This bb cream is like the texture of a moisturiser, but a little thicker. The consistency is quite creamy and easy to blend onto your skin.

Application - I found this bb cream easy to apply and blend. It was very smooth and easy to spread with my fingers. I have olive toned skin and my bb cream is in the shade "light", and was the perfect shade for my skin.

Fragrance - This bb cream didn't really have a strong smell to it, but that's what I would expect from a product designed specifically for sensitive skin. The bb cream has a nice fresh scent to it, and smells like a face moisturiser. I quite like the smell of this bb cream, as some foundations have quite a strong smell which I don't like.

Coverage - It gave light coverage that evened out my skin tone nicely and made my skin look more smooth and flawless. I applied about the size of a pea for my whole face, but you can probably build it up for a medium coverage. I did find that it didn't cover all my blemishes and you could still see my acne spots, but I wouldn't expect a bb cream to cover these as it is a light coverage product. The finish of this bb cream is dewy, but that might be because I have oily skin.

Longevity - I apply my bb cream on in the morning and it lasts for about half a day, when it will start to wear off. I also find that because of my oily skin the bb cream slides off my face quite easily. I also find that during the day my skin will start to feel greasy and appear shiny.

Price - I think the price of this product is really good. It does the same job as my revlon bb cream which I think I got for around $30. So the Garnier one is cheaper and gives me the same results.

Packaging - The bb cream comes in a bottle which is packaged in a black box. For me I'm not really fussed about the packaging, it is appealing to the eye, isn't too fancy and is pretty decent for a cheaper product. I wouldn't expect anything flash or fancy. The bottle itself stand up side down, so it's easy to squeeze the cream out and get the right amount of product you need. The lid on the bottle flicks quite tightly shut, preventing leakage.

Results - My skin quite liked this bb cream, and I didn't get any bad reactions while using it. My skin didn't sting while I applied it and it didn't go red either. As I noted above it didn't cover all my blemishes. The bb cream did smooth and hydrate my skin, but I didn't really notice that my skin was brighter.

Would I recommend it - Yes, I think this is a really good bb cream for the price you pay. It's good for everyday use when you only want a little bit of coverage. It's also easy to apply as you can use your fingers, and is perfect for a girl on the go like me as you can put it on quickly.

I have never tried BB cream before, so was excited to try this! I have sensitive and combination skin. I find it hard to find a moisturiser for my face, as a lot of products cause inflammation easily. However, I was pleasantly surprised when I applied this BB cream that it didn't cause redness, swelling, breakouts, itchiness or splotchiness. However when i removed it, I noticed some redness in my cheeks (brighter and redder than usual and more spread out)- which usually occurs if I react to a product, so perhaps I did react to it as it was on my face the whole day. :( However, it was a mild reaction.

When I first applied this BB cream, I used my fingers with only moisturiser underneath. The consistency was quite creamy, not too thick or too thin and easy to spread. It felt smooth and light on my skin. I found the coverage to be light (which I tend to prefer)- it reduced the redness in my cheeks and evened out my skin tone, however didn't hide my blemishes. I don't really mind this, as I applied concealer under my eyes and over my blemishes. I also applied translucent powder over top to set it. The finish was really natural- mostly matte but a bit glowy which I quite liked. The second time I used this, I put primer underneath and used a stippling brush to apply. This made a difference, as my skin looked more glowy and more even, and I got a few compliments on my skin. I also found that I used less product to achieve the same amount of coverage. However, I found that after about 6 hours, my face started to look oily and the BB cream was beginning to wear off and I noticed some redness in my cheeks and a few dry spots. In saying that, lasting 6 hours is quite good as thats about how long (if not longer) my maybelline foundation lasts, and the oiliness could be fixed with powder to touch up.

I didn't mind the smell, it wasn't unpleasant. It smells quite similar to my other foundations. The scent is faint, once it was applied, I couldn't really smell it anymore. As far as pricing goes, I think the price is reasonable, as I found that it did the same job that my foundation does, if not better. I would say that its fairly worth the money. I didn't particularly like the brown colour of the packaging, the shade seems a bit dull and the words don't jump out at me. If I just saw the bottle on a stand I probably would walk past it, but that's just me personally. However, I like how it fits comfortably into my hand and is easy to squeeze out the right amount.

Overall, I found this BB cream to reduce the redness in my cheeks, even out my skin tone and hydrate my skin. It matched my skin colour really well, making it look slightly glowy and more flawless. However it didn't correct my blemishes (but I would have used concealer anyway) and I didn't really notice a soothing effect. My skin didn't react to this straight away, but when I removed it, it left my skin red and a bit blotchy, indicating some sort of reaction over the course of the day.
