Garnier Skin Perfector BB Cream Anti Ageing Review

I was really excited to try this product, as a busy mum who is used to wearing a full face of makeup everyday I was looking for something quick and easy to make me feel more confident going without makeup. The first thing I noticed about this product is that it was a lot thicker and more pigmented then I expected it to be. It felt very greasy and heavy on my skin. This feeling lasted about an hour, I would touch my face and my fingers would come away very oily. After that it seemed to be absorbed by my skin more but I still felt like I needed to "remove" it at the end of the day with makeup wipes. On the other hand though it definitely gave my skin a really nice glow and was a lot healthier looking then if I had not been wearing anything. I used the medium colour and it was perfect for my olive skin. I believe that this product would be suited to drier skin types who would like to give their skin some much needed moisture while also giving them a bit of colour and glow.

I really like the consistency - it applies just like liquid foundation. It was thicker than I was expecting & also very dark for "light". It also left my skin shiny which was disappointing in winter. Made my skin feel great but wished it was a lighter shade.

I have an oily/combination skin type & even at my age, I am still prone to breakouts. The product has a good consistency; Easy to apply overall. The product has a good fragrance as with all the Garnier products. Coverage is great; concealed my spots well & even though it lasted the whole day, it left my skin feeling more oily than when I used the Oil Free BB cream, which gives a good, matte cover. Priced well at most stores. Good packaging & ample product info on the box. So, all in all, a good product, however if my skin wasn't as oily as it is, then it would be a great product for me. I have recommended to a friend who has a normal skin type & she loves it.

Skin Type - my skin is normal and i liked the product even though it wasn't a very long testing time for something like this Consistency - is it thick, creamy, for the application i tried fingers and lightly wet sponge with i found to be the best way to apply,with full coverage with a matte finish. I thought the fragrance was quite strong, would like less or no fragrance myself. Longevity - seemed to last an 8 hour shift, and throughout my day, so would recommend product to others to use, it also is a very good price compared to other similar brands. Packaging - the packaging is good i like the before and after photo on the box, and it makes it easy to use the right amount. Results - after using the product as specified does it do what it claims? would have liked a longer test cant really tell in just 2 weeks but will continue to use until product is finished.

I have sensitive skin that reacts to many ingredients in products and causes me a lot of grief when trialing new developments and/or skin care products. I equally struggle with the colours of foundation and BB creams as my skin tends to have more of a yellow base which isn't well supported in many of the brands available. I was lucky ed to trial two BB creams - one the normal Miracle Skin Perfector and the other the Anti-ageing one so I chose to apply both - one to each side of my face for a week. On initial application I noted the very pleasant fragrance of the anti-ageing BB cream. It was subtle but refreshing. The normal BB cream had a different fragrance and while not as pleasant as the anti-ageing product it was still perfectly acceptable. Packing for both was identical other than the additional of a red banner on the anti-ageing BB cream. Packing was attractive and functional. Now to the colour - I chose the medium colour. My immediate reaction was OMG this is so dark! I was almost put off using it but thankfully I perservered as the colour spread out evenly and went on smoothly. Neither product left streaks when applied to cleansed skin. I did not pre moisturise but applied both creams to bare skin. There is quite a lot of orange pigment in the Medium colour but it did blend in well.. Did I notice andl differences in the appearance of my skin when wearing two different types of Miracle Skin Perfector BB cream. To be frank the only glaring difference was that the anti ageing BB cream gave my skin a more highlighted appearance on my cheekbones and above my brows. The normal BB cream was drier but still left an overall smooth appearance to my complexion. Both products lasted exceptionally well throughout the day and left me feeling like I was bare-skinned but with a more even skin tone than would normally be the case. I have some serious pigmentation issues under my chin which neither product covered very well. Whether the anti-ageing BB cream gave my wrinkles (I am lucky to not have a huge number of them) or not is still under debate in my household. My skin certainly felt firmer and definitely glowed. The side of my face that used the normal BB cream did not feel as firm nor had the highlighted appearance as the other. Overall both creams left me feeling confident that my skin was well presented when out and about. Nobody noticed or commented that my face looked different one side to the other. Best of all I experienced no break-outs or irritations which is always a bonus for someone with sensitive skin. The only downside is the overall orange tinge that I would have preferred to be more toned down in the medium. I think that as far as value for money goes this is a great daily wear product that leaves skin feeling hydrated and natural

I tried this product as soon as it arrived,i dont normally wear a foundation,just moisteriser and a bit of blusher,i had the medium cream and it was too dark for my face or i was just not used to wearing foundation,so i put some lippy on and my daughter said i looked very pretty but im tempted to try the light colour as the cream looked smooth and covered age spots and blemishes on my face and its great that its a sunblock.It would be great if this product had no colour in it and was just a basic moisteriser which i would use forever.

I liked the compact tube, and it was easy to squeeze out the right amount. It was a lot thicker than some of the others I have used, and it had a gentle fragrance. I have very oily skin, and found that it was quite moisturising, however after adjusting the amount I used, it was much better on my skin when I used less. I did find that by the end of the day ,my skin, was quite oily in my t zone, it was a lot more moisturising than the product I usually use, as although I have mature skin, its very , very oily! I don't know that it plumped up my lines and wrinkles or firmed up my skin, it was quite hard to tell in a couple of weeks, but it was quite nice as a primer under my makeup. It wouldn't be enough coverage for me to use as a light foundation,but under my makeup it was nice. For the price I think its a good product, especially with the spf 15, so you don't have to put sun screen on under your makeup as well.
