I have combination skin and mainly get pimples in my t-zone. I usually use another BB Cream but have been looking for another one to try out and this was the perfect opportunity. I am only 20 so the anti-ageing cream may seem like an odd choice however you are never to young to start fighting those wrinkles!
The Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector BB Cream Anti Ageing has a thick, mousse consistency, almost like when you beat butter and sugar together (without the grittiness). I didn't notice a smell when I was using it, it just smells like your standard tinted moisturiser. I applied this product with my hands and it gave a sheer matte finish which I really liked.
I would guess that the product would last a few months for those like me who only apply a small amount but obviously less if you go any larger than a 10 cent coin. I went into my local supermarket and checked out the price- it was $17.99 which is way more than I would want to pay for supermarket/drug store make up (my current bb cream is $12.99 for 100ml). The packaging was inoffensive but nothing impressive. The small opening made sure I didn't remove more product from the packaging than necessary.
The trial wasn't long enough to fully test out the BB cream but I also stopped using it because my skin started to breakout. However, in the small period of time I was using it my skin has felt noticeable smoother and firmer on my cheeks and nose but my forehead, eyelids (weird I know) and chin are much oilier than usual. I do love that fact that it has an SPF in it without giving my skin that glossy "I've just applied sunscree" look.
I wouldn't recommend this to anyone with combination or oily skin, nor anyone with acne scarring as it doesn't provide a decent enough coverage. I will be sticking to my current BB cream, sorry Garnier but you haven't convinced me!
This product would be very beneficial to someone who wants to minimize their use of foundation as they age.
The product gives great coverage and is not heavy at all and gives a very light feeling on your skin and smells fresh. I enjoy using a product that has a pleasant smell that isn't to overpowering, so good on you garnier.
I would recommend this product as it didn't feel sticky when I applied it onto my skin, usually I have trouble where products feel icky and sticky when I put them on so I end up wiping the product off.
The packaging was simple and stated what the product was and what it achieved yet you would still be drawn to it.
Also it retails at a great price and will last you a long time.
Tips: Choose correct colour tone, Product gets darker with every layer of application.
