Garnier BB Cream - Sensitive Review - Medium

This product was my go to skin perfecter when my skin tends to get oily and sensitive in the summer months. The coverage isn't fantastic, however, I have quite a lot of freckles so for something to be high coverage for me, its almost got to be brown paint. I have a lot of redness on my cheeks and this covered it perfectly without making my skin too washed out which is what some BB creams and foundations can do to us girls with freckles. It kept my skin oil free and matte through out the day (I used the combination/oily skin) and I was and am still very happy with this product.

I have recently purchased a number of BB Creams but this one is the best I have come across so far. I have sensitive skin so used the BB cream especially for my skin type it didn't irritate it at all and it didn't dry out my skin or make it go flaky like some others. It covered my red spots around my nose, not so great at covering blemishes but that is what foundation and concealer are for. Overall a good product I would use again especially over the summer when my face is a little darker so the colour match is better.

My BB cream arrived a week ago so I have worn each day with different looks and put it to the test!

To begin with I always look at packaging that the product comes in. The box containing the bottle had a lot of information which I sometimes find over whelming but after having a read I found there was a lot of good info on this box. Then looking at the bottle I found this was a bit more simple and provided all the information that I needed. I must explain why this product did not get full 5/5 from me...as I inspected the bottle I found there was a sticker saying 'sensitive skin' which is the type I was after but I just felt it was strange that this was a sticker. So I peeled it off to find that the bottle actually said 'anti-ageing'!? How cheeky! Although I thought this was very wrong I continued to put the product to the test!

My skin is generally soft and smooth with redness. It also reacts to anything with a strong fragrance. First impressions of the product was that it was reasonably thick with no noticeable fragrance. To apply the product I would squeeze a pea size amount onto my fingers. I would then spread the product onto my face and rub it in with my fingers like I would do with moisturiser. The product made my skin feel extremely smooth and easily covered my redness which is a major plus for me! The product provided me with semi coverage which is great for a day time look. To take the product to a night time look I applied the BB cream as a base coat and then applied my foundation. This made for a flawless base and worked like a dream! The product lasted all day but felt light so I would forget that I was wearing anything! For $17.49 this is a great price and definitely worth it! Also how convenient that I can run down to the supermarket and get this product!

Over all I would recommend this product to all just as long as you were getting the product that type that has been advertised!

I got to trial this product, but I will buy this to use again. This was my first time using a BB cream and I came in a little skeptical, but have been very pleasantly surprised.

I applied just using my fingers (no need for a sponge) and it spread very easily and gave great coverage.

The BB Cream is a little creamier and thicker than my normal moisturiser, so I used moisturiser underneath the BB Cream as my skin can be quite dry when I get out of the shower.

I used the medium tone, which is a little bit dark for me (in winter months) and it was a little bit orangey, but with my pressed powder applied on top it works out better. The winner for me is that the combination of the BB Cream and pressed powder makes the colour stay on all day. I normally have to reapply powder throughout the day - but I didn't need to with the BB Cream underneath. The powder also adds a matte effect which the BB Cream doesn't do.

The squeeze top tube is great so I can control on the amount of product and the secure cap means it won't leak or spill in my bag when I am travelling.

Bonuses for me was that it lasted all day, is SPF 15, it evened out my skin tone, concealed my blemishes, and was fragrance free.

Would be better if there were different shades - as I would probably get one between the light and the medium for winter.

Given that it looks like it's going to last a long time (as you only need a small amount), I think the price is very reasonable.

I would recommend it to a friend (but they might want to trial the shades first).

I have been fortunate to have received the sensitive skin in a medium shade to trial from BR and have been using it for eight days now.

It comes in a 50gm size for $15-18 depending upon where you buy it. You only need a small amount so it will last quite a while therefore being great value for money.

The packaging was nice and I liked the fact that I could take the BB Cream to work with me to quickly and easily touch up any areas that may have needed it during the day. I didn't notice much of a smell to the cream either. My routine consisted of applying my daily moisuriser, waiting a couple of minutes and then applying a small amount of the Garnier BB Cream just like I would a moisturiser. I would start with a small amount of BB Cream and then applied more to the areas that I felt needed it.

It was easy to apply and gave a fairly good coverage. The medium shade suited my skin tone and blended in to give a matte finish which I liked.

I have some redness on my cheeks and nose so I applied more to those areas to cover that however I found that the BB Cream wouldn't "fully" cover all my red areas completely. It does state however that in four weeks "redness is reduced for 77% of women" so I am looking forward to seeing those changes and will update my review when and if that does happen.

Overall I am very happy with this cream and have already recommend it to my friends/family. It is super easy to use and doesn't look "caked" on which is fabulous! It evens out my skin tone and leaves my face looking quite natural.

I have never really been one for wearing foundations but I will be using BB Cream now :-)

I actually really liked this product. I usually avoid creams because I find them too heavy, but this was a good light coverage which felt nice on. My skin is usually quite sensitive and I am wary about new products applied too close to my eyes however there was no problem with this. Smell was pleasant, coverage was good and the price is great!

The Garnier BB cream is really smooth easy to apply, a small splotch goes a long way, nice easy creamy smooth application. I defiantly love this product, My last bb cream was thick and left my face feeling really plastic like, but this cream it feels like a moisturiser and the toner in it covered up my blemishes and red dots a little and made it easier for me to use concealer and save me some in the process. It does not smell, it doesn't cake on I really like it. And the low SPF doesn't leave me with the shiny look on my face, I think I have found my forever BB cream! :)

I have tried the normal and anti-agining Garnier BB cream before and they are my favourite amongst other brands. The sensitive version is also being added to the list.

I prefer the sensitive one to the other garnier bb creams I have tried: it doesn't seem to dry out as much on my skin nor feel as heavy.

I tend to apply it like a moisturiser and then I put my powder foundation over top. It does not give enough coverage for me to feel as if I could wear it instead of foundation (although it is fine for a day off!). I like wearing it under powder foundation as it sets nicely and lasts all day for me.

Having reasonably sensitive skin I had no issues with using this product: no redness, tightness of skin, dryness or any irritation. I like the packaging as it fits nicely in a handbag/makeup bag but lasts long enough.

Overall, happy with this product and would use it again!

I love this product! It's an easy product to apply and you don't need much because it is quite thick and goes far. A tube will last you awhile. You have to remember that it is a "Perfector" not a foundation. So it does what it says and reduces redness etc on the face but is not a heavy cover. I love this because I like the natural look. But a warning -Do not over apply as I've stated below! If you over apply trying to use it like a foundation you will go orange. I wish it did have slightly more coverage though. I found the sensitive has more of an orange tinge than the normal BB Cream. I've tried both the normal BB cream and now the sensitive. I have found the sensitive better for my skin as I have semi oily to dry skin. This product doesn't dry my skin like a lot of other products do. And I don't have to moisturize before applying it which is a huge bonus for me!! Even though this product does leave your skin with a slight shine -I don't mind it as it's better than having dry patches on my face. I've also found that my skin has been a lot smoother and softer since using this! I'm someone that is prone to the odd pimple with different products. -I never got any breakouts with this. It's light and doesn't block my pores which I'm stoked with! I find it easy to apply and easy to remove. I don't find the smell overpowering and think it would be fine for anyone who has a perfume allergy. This product that can been worn for either day or night. The box also has helpful ways to apply this product which is helpful to first time uses. This product does what it says it will do! "Skin Perfector". If your someone who wants a light natural looking coverage then this product is for you!
