Garnier Skin Perfector BB Cream Anti Ageing Review

I really disliked this BB cream. It could possibly be due to my oily skin type and colouring, but I found that it had very light coverage so didn't do much in the way of evening out skin tone or covering up blemishes. After a couple of hours, my skin looked very oily and patchy where the. BB cream had begun to wear away. I also found the medium colour I tried made me look very orange. Overall, this product reminded me more of a tinted moisturiser than a BB cream. Definately would not recommend for oily skin users.

I like using BB creams instead of regular foundation because they combine sheer coverage with sunscreen. In winter, I switch from using a sunscreen specifically for faces to using a BB cream and find it does the trick. Garnier's version evens out light blotches (from sun damage) on my skin and helps hide blemishes, too. I often get complimented on my 'great-looking' skin when I'm wearing Garnier's Anti Aging BB cream. It has a bit of sheen which is great, as long as your skin's not oily to begin with. I noticed, in switching back and forth between Cover Girl's BB cream (not anti-ageing) and Garnier, that Garnier's anti-ageing BB cream goes on thicker and provides more coverage than CG's formulation. This also means it takes a bit longer to apply Garnier's anti-ageing BB cream.

I had high expectations for this because all my friends were raving about this... However I was sorely let down after buying this! It was because it was too damn oily! I have really dry skin and normally having a matte face is the expectation for me. However when I put this on my face literally shone bright like a diamond... And not in a good way. It didn't do a very good job of covering the blemishes I do have and it seemed to make them more obvious. Not a product I would reccomend.

This cream has a lovely consistency and is easy to apply, not sure if the anti ageing has kicked in yet but I remain hopeful, however....it doesnt really provide enough coverage and io am a BB cream Queen so its compared to other brands. Also it says to get more coverage apply it twice, this sort of defeats the purpose and means you use it too quickly. I therefore like it but don't love it.Its perfect for going to footy on the weekends but for me its not good enough for work!

This product is quite simply amazing. Being a busy Mum, I have to admit that I don't often find time for moisturising, let alone to moisturise AND put a foundation base on. Plus, the few times I have tried a foundation, I've found it has almost caked on leaving my skin looking worse than when it started. This was NOT the case with this product. So easy to apply and while it definitely covers the patchiness, it doesn't leave you looking like you've just put a tonne of makeup on. I'm a firm believer that the natural look is far nicer and this is what the Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector BB Cream delivers. I wouldn't have said though that my skin felt tighter afterwards though, but while it was on, it looked great.

Would I buy it again ? Most definately !! It's an affordable asset to any woman's handbag (or makeup shelf)

I have dry sensitive skin which I thought would be perfectly suited to this product.

First of all I was very surprised at the thickness of this product and found it was more easily applied with my fingers and sunk better into the skin this way. I am happy to say this has not irritated my sensitive skin however does cling to dry patches. It does feel nice a moisturising on the skin but I think I would still apply a moisturiser underneath to help prevent the clinging of the product to drier areas of skin. I found the light shade was quite a good match for my skin tone but gave only very light coverage (I expected higher coverage to be honest, especially considering the thickness of the product).

I find the tinted moisturiser I use more often has a higher coverage than this product and found this bb cream did not even out my skin tone enough. It did add a bit of colour to my skin but my redness was only slightly reduced.

I don't really feel this does anything in terms of anti-aging but would have to use this a lot longer to see if this claim is true and considering I do not wear makeup on a daily basis I would probably not see much of a difference anyway.

I will not repurchase this as I know there are bb creams that give a better coverage available and would prefer to use them, however if you only want a very light coverage and product that feels light on the skin and gives some spf protection than this may be worth checking out.

My skin type is mature combination, prone to breakouts. This means that some surfaces are nice and smooth with the appearance of tightly closed (almost invisible) pores, while other areas appear more bumpy with visible pores. This poses a problem for most foundation or concealer-type cosmetics and unfortunately this BB cream was no better or worse at improving the appearance of my skin than tinted moisturisers and very thin foundation liquids.

The Garnier BB Ccream has a texture and consistency a little like a slightly oily hair conditioner. It has a slight but pleasant enough scent - similar to the scent of tinted moisturisers. I'm not a big fan of tinted moisturisers because they don't seem to set. Similarly this BB cream has a tendency to transfer a little bit and a touch test one hour after application results in a shiny, oily substance transferring to the finger or tissue used to test.

Despite the claims on the box I didn't find that it was any better than a thin liquid foundation at reducing wrinkles or correcting blemishes. I did try using it as a concealer and to cover redness a slightly thicker 2nd layer did work. My L'Oreal concealer got its usual workout for concealing dark under eye circles and blemishes though every time I used this BB cream.

The claims that this product firms skin in 2 weeks could not be fairly assessed during our 10 day trial and I didn't notice any firming over the course of the trial period. Since then I have continued to use the BB Cream and have noticed that my skin appears younger/firmer.

The colour I chose was light since I have very fair skin. Unfortunately, like most other foundations I've tried over the years, even the light colour leaves me with skin that looks more orange than anything else. Summer might be a good time for me to use this BB cream - the orange would just look like I'd used a tanning product.

There are times when I would use this product (like being on a beach holiday) but for every day I prefer a foundation that sets or to leave the foundation out altogether and just use a minimum of concealer, blush, lipstick, etc.

I have oily, acne prone, maturing skin and I was quite excited to try this product in the hopes that Garnier would be able to pull off a cheaper option for me from what I’ve used in the past.

When I opened the tube and squeezed some out for application I found the smell, although pleasant, was loud and over powering and when I was sitting at my computer I would get wafts of the scent from it periodically. I want to smell wafts of scent from my perfume, not from my skincare products.

I applied this product using my fingers and found consistency of the product nice and easy to smooth over my skin, however, I found the coverage was that of a tinted moisturizer, not only that but it left an oily/dewy sheen on my skin that even by applying my mineral foundation would still show through. I love full MATTE coverage so this was a huge disappointment to me. If you already have flawless skin then you’ll love this, if you have acne, acne scarring, rosacea, or any uneven skin tone, this BB Cream will not even come close to evening them out.

Unfortunately this product had no staying power for me. It literally melted off my face along with my mineral foundation within about four hours (something completely unheard of!) and left my skin patchy where the product had settled into some of my lines. I was horrified to look in the mirror and find I looked like a zebra, no wonder I was getting funny looks at the shopping center. Due to this, I can not even continue using it to test out it's anti-ageing benefits.

I have used slightly more expensive BB Creams that do more than this one and although they are costly, they actually work and the price balances out because you use less.

The box says that it “Contains Sunscreen” however, it does not say what sun protection factor it is nor does the box recommend you to wear a regular sunscreen. For an anti-aging product, not only is this extremely misleading and disappointing, I find it is also irresponsible.

I have combination skin which is prone to being overly oily in the t zone with certain products. Also prone to breakouts with certain moisturisers and foundations. I was pleasantly surprised with this stuff! I was given the medium but I'd asked for the light so it was slightly too dark for me but the coverage was good. Not too heavy but buildable. I have broken capillaries and redness and it covered well. It didn't sit oily on my face and make my skin feel really nice - and no breakouts wahoo! A nice fragrance to it. Oh and it's such a bonus not having to use a separate moisturiser

Would recommend to friends and would happily keep using myself in the correct colour. Also great value
