Garnier Skin Perfector BB Cream Anti Ageing Review

I am a big fan of Garnier BB Cream. I have tried all three versions of the product. The original cream had a good result but its staying power was minimal unless set with an 'all day' powder. I then discovered the oil free version. This lasted all day, was great on my skin, had good coverage and soon became my everyday makeup for work and weekends. My skin did not react badly to it and it did not promote pimples. I was interested to try the anti-aging as am sadly getting to the stage where a few wrinkles are appearing. I found the product thick, greasy, with inferior coverage. I think Garnier might want to modify this product. It's a shame because, as I said, I am such a big fan of the oil free BB and favor it over many high end products. In saying that the packaging is pleasant, easy to use, and the products fragrance is pleasant.If using a setting powder is part of your daily routine then this may work for you. If youo like very light coverage (similar to a light tinted moisturiser), then you also might like this version of the product.

This was tested on a sensitive skin type with an oily t-zone and blemish scarring.

In regards to the consistency I did not mind the thickness though the nozzle was too wide and so too much came out.

It is easy to apply. I just used my fingertips. The coverage lasted all day.

The fragrance is pleasing to my senses and smells like roses.

This gives a good coverage though darker blemishes are still visible to the eye. This did look too shiny on the t-zone area.

I believe the pricing is fair and the packaging is good but as mentioned earlier the nozzle is too wide and also the tube colouring does not represent the correct tone of the BB cream.

Having tried garnier BB cream previously a few years ago I was excited to try the anti aging version. The colour was too dark for me as I have reverted back to my winter skin shade but with a bit of blending it matched well. This is something I remember from using it before and liked. The product was super easy to blend into the skin and it didn't look thick or heavy once applied. I liked that a little went a long way and the smell wasn't offensive. It lasted for the majority of my day and didn't leave me with any added skin irritations or blemishes.

After opening the BB cream found it really thick with a pleasant fragrance. Did look quite dark but once applied was fine for my skin colour, it evened out my skin tone and gave me a slight glow but did not cover a slight blemish, even after applying more to the blemish. I have seen no difference in lines, wrinkles or firmness but it is early days. As it is thick you only need to use a small amount so would last a while so would be good value for money as a tinted moisturiser.

But does it deliver? Wellllll...let's face it, at the pricepoint it's in, it's highly unlikely it's going to just melt away the wrinkles, but it did give a slightly fresher appearance to my skin. It has a nice thick consistency which in turns becomes a reasonable coverage for a BB cream ( better than others I have tried) but still not what I would call a standalone foundation type of product. Smell was quite nice, not amazing, but pleasant. I found the lid on the tube a little less than perfect, but again, a remarkably cheap product for what it's actually delivering...(the week it arrived it was actually on sale for $10 a tube at the local supermarket) I found it kinda accentuated a particularly bad wrinkle I have (a squinting when I was a silly vain teenager and didn't want to wear glasses wrinkle), it was kinda more likely to crease there. Seemed ok though if I kinda blotted it a couple of hours after application. It lasts quite well too, especially when coupled with other things...(see my tip) my skin can tend to get dry and a little flaky by days end, but not at all with this. I work in heavy air conditioning and it seems to be able to stand up to this well. All round, pretty good bang for buck here, just don't go thinking its a facelift in a tube ;)

This is ok as a tinted moisturiser. It gives very light to no coverage. When you put it on, the color seems to blend into yout skin, does not cover my blemish scar. It is however very moisturising, but doesnt make me oily at all. I have combination skin. In terms of anti aging effect, i haven't used it lonh enough to see the difference.

Cream rubbed in nicely, but not sure it lived up to its promises. I found this product gave very light coverage - probably too light for what I look for in a BB cream. To be honest, didn't really notice a big difference wearing this vs nothing on my skin. Was happy to pass it on to a friend who has quite different skin tone to try out. She loved it.

This had a nice texture(creamy and thick) and a pleasant light scent(a general makeup counter smell)that faded quickly. It went on easily and smoothly with fingers but it did remain shiny so I had to set it with powder to make it matte which I prefer. It stayed on for about 2-4 hours but disappeared rapidly after that. My skin is normal but starting to show my age with larger pores and crows feet and this did even the skin out. I am not sure if I am seeing changes to my actual skin yet but I will use up the tube. I may recommend to friends if they are looking for a bb cream and I will use it up.

The Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector BB Cream is easy to apply and leaves my skin feeling moist. It does not and does not claim to give the coverage of a normal foundation which is the reason for my reference to weekend cover. I would definitely have it in my kit for travelling but will continue to use foundation for the workplace

First, the positives - Garnier's BB Cream goes on smooth and creamy, and feels nice and light on the skin. I had the light shade which was right for me and gave a very natural, no-makeup look. It's moisturising enough to use on its own or over top of my regular moisturiser. The negative - there's only one - it's a little too light. I found I needed to top it off with some of my regular foundation to get a really even look. Still, I would use it in the weekends or when my skin is at its best. It definitely saves time, and you only need a tiny amount.
