Garnier Skin Perfector BB Cream Anti Ageing Review

I had never used a BB cream before trying out Garnier BB Cream Anti- Ageing for the first time. The cream is a lovely medium consistency with a slight rose/floral fragrance. I would probably class my skin as a mix of sensitive/combination, with a light beige colour in winter, slightly tan in Summer. So the cream I used was the light colour type, which I found to be a little darker than my current tone. I first applied the product over top of my already moisturised skin (as I received the product in the afternoon and slapped it on straight away). It glided on easily and had a sheer, dewy finish. I still needed to use a concealer to cover a little redness on my cheeks, and powder to set the finish. A few hours later I had quite a shiny face, so I guess I had an overload of moisture. Then I decided to try using straight after washing instead of a moisturiser. I applied all over my face and the BB cream absorbed into my skin straight away. I needed to apply a second coat for extra coverage, as it was very sheer. Later on in the day I have a shiny t-zone but my cheeks and forehead are fine. I would probably use this product during the Summer months as a tinted moisturiser, as I do need a thicker coverage to conceal imperfections and even out my skin tone during the rest of the year. This product does add a lovely glow but does not cover redness as it says on the box. It is also quite dewy and moisturising, so would suit a drier skin type, but I was able to blot excess moisture with a tissue and use a powder over top which gave a more polished finish.

My skin is combination, normal except for the t-zone where I have a little more oil. The consistency of the Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector BB Cream was light and mousse like, easy to apply with your fingers. The smell was pleasant, not overpowering and disappeared after an hour or so of wearing. The coverage of Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector BB Cream was quite sheer, I did apply a second layer to see how that changed the coverage and it did build up the coverage to more of a foundation look but still quite dewy in finish. The cream lasted pretty well, my biggest concern was that I ended up a little shiny by the afternoon and ended up blotting my chin and forehead to counteract some of the shine. I think it is worth the retail price, affordable especially if you can get it on special. When comparing to other products, probably not quite as good in terms of coverage for me but a reasonable substitute for the price. The packaging of Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector BB Cream is quite plain, not sure I like the black background as it has a connotation of not being a very natural product, but again for the price the packaging is not too much of a concern. My results were ok, not sure about reduction in appearance of wrinkles, my skin felt good and firmer, definitely evened tone but possibly a bit too much moisture for my skin type. Love that it has SPF 15 protection, there is no need to worry about additional products to ensure you have sunscreen on your face. Would I recommend it to a friend - yes and even more so if they have a dry skin type, it would suit someone with no oil issues perfectly.

I received this product bright and early on Saturday morning so began trialing that same day. The box states usage is designed for women aged mid-to-late 20s up to early-to-mid 60s. I opted for the medium colour, however, in my opinion the product was a bit too dark, even when applied sparingly. It could be that I should have opted for the light colour, in saying that, I definitely have an olive tone complexion. Right-e-o, to the product itself. When you open and squeeze out, just the teeniest bit, one, it is the most silkiest, smoothest, creamiest product I have ever felt, and two, it also has the most gorgeous scent to it, not too faint and not too strong, just right. As I chose the medium colour, my initial reaction was 'oh, this is very dark', but as I massaged it between my hands and applied to my face the colour actually did blend in to a much lighter shade. After about five minutes, I re-checked and it was noticeable that I had something on my face (I don't wear foundation/concealer, so I could certainly see I was wearing something). I rubbed the product further and it did slightly lighten on my face. On the box it does say "For increased coverage, apply a second time", in my opinion, I think in this case, because of this, I perhaps have chosen the wrong shade :( So the second and third mornings I applied the product, using half the amount that I used the first morning, WITHOUT using my normal moisturiser first. Again I couldn't seem to get a matching even colour, and when applying the product instantly dried up and looked cakey on my skin. As I mentioned earlier, I do have sensitive skin, so I believe it was due to not using my normal moisturiser first why the cream went dry instantly. Alas, this morning I woke up and my skin has broken out in a bumpy rash, especially around the outer corner eye area, and my cheeks. Thus unfortunately, I would have to say, this product is not for my sensitive skin. But, I would certainly recommend to friends to try, as overall, it is a beautifully presented product and I highly doubt a women within the normal skin range would have the issues I had.

this was something new for me I don't wear a lot of make up so testing it around the house was a bit strange but it goes on really easily and is quick to apply I don't think it was enough time to really see if it works for the wrinkles, the smell was strong to me at first but think it was just because it was new was fine after a day or 2, felt nice on wasn't thick one coating was very light on me and just covered I did use it when I went to town under my make up which is just thin lizzy light but was nice under that and it helped darken the thin lizzy colour a little, my skin can be quite greasy this didn't make it any worse, if after some more use it helped the wrinkles I would buy for the RRP and recommend to my friends the packaging is fine I do think it needs a bit less information on the front made it look a bit tacky overall I look forward to keep using it.

I found the Garnier cream to be a good product. The cream went on well but seemed slow to absorb perhaps due to the colour. My skin has pink undertones and the Light colour was quite yellow on my complexion. This was disappointing as I was looking forward to trialling this product. Used a a base under foundation it worked well to even out those red tones but I wouldn't use as a stand alone product. My fine lines seemed to abate somewhat and my skin did feel smoother and soft. Would recommend as moisturiser/base under makeup for pink/reddish skin tones.

Have been using this cream. While not sure it actually is Anti Ageing, it is nice to use. I also was using the Sensitive cream, which I used at night. This one does feel nice and the shade is good. Skin perfector - yes I would say so, Anti ageingm, I might need to use ti for longer to work that one out.

I have been using the above product over the last week. I have normal to dry type of skin with quite a few freckles. Found that the BB Cream was thick and it was easy to apply with fingers. I found that it gave a good sheer coverage with a matt finish and lasted well. It blended blemishes and freckles well. BB cream hydrated my skin however there was no actual sign of a reduction in wrinkles or that my skin was any firmer or plumper than before I started. The packaging was smart, the instructions were clear and straight forward however they were 3/4 way down the box and could have been easily missed. It worked well as a base to my foundation however I am not convinced with its other claims

I have combination skin and i found this product very moisturising. However i have fair skin, and i found my skin to look an unnatural orange so maybe it is suited to olive skinned girls. It is a nice light consistency and provided a nice shine. A product like this would be great if you do not like the heavy covrerage of foundation, but i would not purchase again because of the colour on me and the price is expensive. Packaging wise it is nice and bright, very easy to read ingredients and get an even consistency of product with the toothpaste tube.
