Garnier Skin Perfector BB Cream Anti Ageing Review

I won a full sized tube of the anti-aging BB Cream In light. On the Facebook Garnier BB Cream app.

I opened it up and smelt it first.

I don't like the smell. I am not a fan of scented facial products. Especially ones with such a strong fragrance.

I then swatched it on my hand...

My first thought of the colour was 'oh I've been sent a medium'. Cause that is dark.

So I apply it like a moisturiser. With my fingers.

Product melted into my skin with ease, but that smell ugh!

Looked in the mirror and yeah it was definitely too dark for my skin colour.

It did not sting. Which was great.

BB Creams are very pigmented , I was expecting a lighter more sheer colour.

The texture of the BB Cream is thick and I like that alot. Better than runny.

It did slightly even out my skin tone, my skin appeared soft, smooth, brighter maybe?

Lasts well throughout the day, although the colour is still apparent it's too dark.

I even wore it with a light dusting of mineral powder. Looked ok. For a natural look. Still too dark... :(

All in all good product I just wish it was unscented and lighter in colour. Why would light be so beige looking??

My skins appearance seems better , slightly better.

Applying this to clean skin, I found the first application of this didn't spread easily. The texture seemed thick and didn't have the glidability I was expecting.

The next day, thinking as it was winter time and my skin would be drier than normal, or that the product may be colder than desirable too, I applied a moisturiser first, and what a difference!. Smooth, even application, with a fabulous luminous glow to my skin. Great coverage, blending in freckles and age spots.

A little of the cream seemed to go a long way, and lasted all day too. The price is favourable, and the fact that it is on offer at the supermarket makes it easy to purchase.

One criticism though, all the information is on the packaging, in small text. If a target market for this product is the more mature skins, perhaps a folded information sheet inside the packet might be worth thinking about? Very easy to use and convenient tube size though.

Overall, yes, I would use it again, and would be interested to see if in the summer heat the consistency of the cream might soften.

I thought it was an ok BB cream, I have tried a few... This one is quite shiny, I'd imagine that is the anti-aging part, and even though it was 'light' it was a bit too dark for my skin. That seems to be a fault of many BB creams, not enough of a colour range.

I was indeed looking forward to trialling this BB cream having read good press on it. Unfortunately (or fortunately, for my skin) I have stopped sunbedding and where I was once a medium skin tone I am now a light so the colour was not a good match for my skin but I used it a few times with some very careful blending. The packaging is not eye catching and I would not be drawn to it on a shelf. It did not smell over scented and the texture was a good consistency and went on well, with good moderate coverage. I liked the feel on my skin and it lasted for the 8 hours I wore it. Extra bonus containing SPF. It was easy to remove and my skin felt smooth afterwards. I did not 'breakout' as I have done in the past, with other BB/CC creams. As a fan of BB/CC creams I plan to try the lighter shade of this product. I like to use these creams when I don't feel like wearing full foundation. Due to the shade difference I can't review all aspects of this cream but have rated it on what I could.

I received this in the Light/Clair Sensitive Skin Range. I liked the packaging and everything was easy to read and understand. The consistency was neither to thick or too thin and it felt quite moisturising. Obviously being for sensitive skin it didn't have a fragrance which was great. I applied it one day with my fingers like a moisturiser and the next day with my real techniques stippling brush. It felt smooth and light on my skin but I noticed it didn't really last over the course of the day. And almost gave me a sheen as opposed to that "dewy" look that foundation gives. The next day I applied it with my brush but i found it quite hard to buff in and it kept going streaky so i finished off by blending it with my fingers. There are definitely better BB creams out there that offer you a better coverage along with better staying power.

I was sent the Anti-Ageing BB cream as I am in my late 30s and fighting the signs of ageing is certainly a priority for me in my makeup/skincare regime. I have a combination skin with areas varying from mildly oily to normal and some dehydrated patches - so probably not indicative of the 'Anti Aging' group which would tend to have drier skin. The first day I used it I made the mistake of applying my moisturiser as usual and felt the BB Cream slid off pretty quickly as a result. The following days I have tried it without moisturiser and had longer lasting results - also using a powder over the top in my oiler areas

It has a light to medium coverage and I would certainly consider using this on 'no-makeup' days or at the beach in summer as it has a radiant, fresh glow to it. I do prefer a medium-full coverage so for me on an average work day a BB cream wouldn't be suitable unless i was prepared to spend extra time priming, concealing and powdering (something I don't have to do with my current foundation).

I received the Light shade which works perfectly for me. The colour is on the Beige/Pinky side which evens out both the warm and cool tones in my skin and is a good match. I believe it might be too pink for those with a lot of yellow or very pale complexions.

In terms of claims that it 'reduces wrinkles' and 'firms skin' - I have not seen any signs of this. I do believe this would be great for those with dry skin looking for something lightweight with a bit of coverage.

It was a little too sticky, and didn't go on too well with my skin. Maybe it was because my skin is oily, and looked shiny on me. I gave it to my mum. She really likes it and works well for her.

I use BB cream regularly so when I saw Garnier on special I thought Id give it a go. I am not a huge fan, I don't think that it lasts a decent amount of time, it has an orange tinge and felt quite oily compared to other brands I have used. Being winter I do have some dry spots and this only highlighted them. Was a bit disappointed. I tried dulling the BB cream with moisturiser which worked to get rid of the orange tinge but still didn't look or feel great.

I'm not a big fan of this by itself but I do like it as a base before I put on my foundation. It evens out the dry/oily/discoloured spots giving my foundation an excellent base to go on relatively flawless. I do use it over a moisturizer as it is quite dry on my skin and doesn't seem to give me the 'moisturizer' factor.

Not a big makeup user, I mostly wear it for a night out or occasionally during the day as I have sensitive skin, This product is great, it feels light and gives a bit of color to my skin. My only complaint is that it rubs off. Other than that its great.
