Anti aging BB cream

While I found this to be really good, it does make my skin very oily after a few hours so I need to keep touching up my makeup.

Tips: Use powder to keep shine away.

Not very BB

I received this from the Garnier Facebook Promotion and its an alright supplement for your face if you don't feel like much coverage but it doesn't cover as much as I thought it would. I can achieve the coverage I want, but it takes a lot of layering and the result isn't as good as other BB creams such as Lioele as it then just makes my face very orange. As I have oily skin, I probably the oil free version (but I didn't like that either), as it begins to wear off quickly. I would use this for when I go camping to hide some of my redness but nothing more than that.

Great for Summer

I received this BB cream through their facebook promotion and I have been pleasantly surprised so far.

The cream goes on smoothly like a good moisturiser and makes my skin feel super soft when it dries. It is quite light so doesn't clog up pores or leave noticeable traces of the product. It doesn't exactly give the best coverage of blemishes but i definitely think it does a good job of brightening the skin and is better than wearing nothing at all.

On a hot summer day i find that I prefer wearing this and adding a bit of concealer for a nice light and easy look. The SPF means I don't have to worry about sun protection and it doesn't feel greasy like a sunblock so thats great as well.

If your skin is in pretty good condition and you're just looking for that extra pop then I think this product would be ideal for you. I am loving it so far but I think that might change after Summer.

A nice alternative to my usual Lioelle BB cream which is a fuller coverage.

Cover and spf

I bought some of this finally at xmas time and have been using it daily its good as a moisturiser and has spf protection I think could be a bit higher, I have pigment/sun damage so use it as a slight cover up but still need powder or foundation on top. Not sure if anti aging properties work yet, guess I will keep using as see, haven't noticed a difference yet

Tips: The medium is quite dark I would not recommend it for anyone without very dark/tan skin. Apply with a sponge and blend well

Works good

I love bb cream and was stoked to see one for aging skin. I think the colour is perfect and the formula leaves my skin feeling soft and smooth but half way thorn the say my skin is very oily and it can feel icky.

Tips: Need a powder if you have oily skin.

Good BB Cream, but BB creams might not be for me.

My skin type is mature combination, prone to breakouts. This means that some surfaces are nice and smooth with the appearance of tightly closed (almost invisible) pores, while other areas appear more bumpy with visible pores. This poses a problem for most foundation or concealer-type cosmetics and unfortunately this BB cream was no better or worse at improving the appearance of my skin than tinted moisturisers and very thin foundation liquids.

The Garnier BB Ccream has a texture and consistency a little like a slightly oily hair conditioner. It has a slight but pleasant enough scent - similar to the scent of tinted moisturisers. I'm not a big fan of tinted moisturisers because they don't seem to set. Similarly this BB cream has a tendency to transfer a little bit and a touch test one hour after application results in a shiny, oily substance transferring to the finger or tissue used to test.

Despite the claims on the box I didn't find that it was any better than a thin liquid foundation at reducing wrinkles or correcting blemishes. I did try using it as a concealer and to cover redness a slightly thicker 2nd layer did work. My L'Oreal concealer got its usual workout for concealing dark under eye circles and blemishes though every time I used this BB cream.

The claims that this product firms skin in 2 weeks could not be fairly assessed during our 10 day trial and I didn't notice any firming over the course of the trial period. Since then I have continued to use the BB Cream and have noticed that my skin appears younger/firmer.

The colour I chose was light since I have very fair skin. Unfortunately, like most other foundations I've tried over the years, even the light colour leaves me with skin that looks more orange than anything else. Summer might be a good time for me to use this BB cream - the orange would just look like I'd used a tanning product.

There are times when I would use this product (like being on a beach holiday) but for every day I prefer a foundation that sets or to leave the foundation out altogether and just use a minimum of concealer, blush, lipstick, etc.

Tips: Definitely for my skin type it's imperative to use a good cleanser and then a great moisturiser at least ten minutes before applying the BB cream. Without a thorough cleanse the BB cream emphasises any debris (it clumps and shines) and without the extra moisturiser I found the cream appeared unevenly applied 30 minutes to an hour later.

Also, think twice before using a BB cream when you have a cold or flu - constant touching of the same parts of the face with eg a tissue will leave you with areas devoid of makeup.

Start with a tiny amount - less than the pea-sized portion of toothpaste I would use was about right for me. Then, if areas of eg redness remain use a little extra over those areas only. This looks better than using a concealer or colour corrector for redness because using the BB Cream as both a foundation and a concealer results in all areas being an exact colour match!

Breaking out!

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!

Tips: Apply your concealer before using the BB cream. Carry it in your purse for any touch ups during the day as it has the tendency to come off!

Anti ageing BB Cream

I loved the packaging. Having never used BB cream before, I wasn't sure how to apply but packaging explained clearly. It surprised me how thick and dark it was.i nearly didn't try it as I thought it wasn't right for me. Gave it a go and was pleasantly surprised. It went on smoothly and gave my skin a lovely glow. The fragrance was a little strong but not overpowering.

Tips: Great under foundation or just use on its own for a sunkissed look.

BB Cream

I have never used a BB cream before and was looking forward to trialling this product. I have used this product for the last 7 days. Haven't noticed any change in wrinkles, but there is a definite moisturising effect from the cream. It gives a sheer matte finish which evens our your skin tone while still looking quite natural. It has a slight fragrance that isn't too strong. It lasted well on a cool day but on a hot day got very shiny by mid afternoon. It was a nice light coverage for the days when you don't want to do the full makeup thing.

Tips: It says to put it on like your normal moisturiser, but you have to wash your hands as soon as you have put it on otherwise you leave brown marks whenever you touch anything.

A good overall moisturising BB Cream

I was sent the Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector BB Cream in the Anti Ageing to review. I have tried the Garnier BB Cream in the Normal formula which I did really like and thought being in my 30's that the Anti Ageing formula would be good to try. I can say that for the most part I really like this formula- it has great coverage and is hydrating. I don't necessarily feel that it made my skin feel much firmer. I don't really have many visible wrinkles at this stage so I can't comment on the claim that it reduces wrinkles. My skin tone did appear more even and as the Anti Ageing formula is a bit heavier than the Normal formula, I didn't feel the need to apply a bit of foundation over it as I normally would. My skin tends to be quite dry in the winter so I found this formula perfect for the winter season. I would probably end up using the Normal formula in the warmer months as I think this formula would make my skin a bit greasy in the warmer weather. I found the texture to be more like that of a creamy foundation than that of a moisturiser so I still used a moisturiser beforehand and the product felt much nicer applied over the moisturiser. I would use this product again.

Tips: I would recommend applying a bit of moisturiser beforehand if you tend to have dry skin.
