Garnier Skin Perfector BB Cream Anti Ageing Review

I was really excited to try this product as I had such a great experience with the tinted products. However I didn't notice any improvements to my skin in regards to wrinkles and after applying this BB Cream I was extremely shinny.

I usually use BB cream for a light everyday coverage as i don't like my skin feeling like make up is caked on. But I find this particular brand of BB cream to be quite thick and cakey, I would probably use if i run out of my others but definately not my first choice at all

I received trial Anti Aging BB cream from beauty review and was excited to put it on next morning. The texture is smooth but once you spread it onto your face it seemed disappearing without any coverage as 'primer'. The texture was too light for my 40+ years old which I need more moisturizing protection. It said 'Reduces wrinkles, Firms Skin and Instantly Perfect Skin' but I did not see any effect after tried 4 days so far.

I had such high hopes for this product, it looked like the ultimate budget beauty-and-care-in-one product. It really missed the mark for me. I used the 'light' shade and applied it over my usual skincare products and the Australis primer I have used for months. It came out of the tube very creamy and blended in well with a round top kabuki. The coverage was really disappointing though, even for a BB cream. I put on two layers and still felt my sheer foundations give better coverage in one layer. My skin got that oxidised orange-y colour after a bit of wear too - not happy. I have oily skin so of course even on top of a primer I got a bit of shine with this BB by late morning, but I am fine with that, not a big deal. I was not a fan of the fragrance either, it was much too strong and a bit irritating. I don't think I can manage to use it long enough to see any long term benefits from the pro-xylane. I would not recommend this - I think investing in good anti-aging skincare and using a regular BB cream is more up my alley!

I found this cream to be lovely and smooth, very easy to apply with my fingertips and had good coverage. Had a very faint fragrance which was quite nice. I tried the medium tone anti ageing cream. I thought the medium was going to be a little dark for me as looked quite dark in the container but it actually blended in really well with my skin tone. Coverage was initially very good but I found that I needed to apply a loose powder over the top to make it last longer as tended to wear off during the day. I didn't see any changes in fine lines or wrinkles over the few days I have used it but maybe I need to trial it for longer. I wouldn't use this every day instead of my usual make up but would take it on holiday for a quick natural look.

I’ve been a long time user of BB Cream so I was keen for an opportunity to try something outside my usual brand of choice. RRP on this product $17.49 which is around same price I usually pay. Packaging is fairly plain and to be honest reminds me of fake tan packaging. What struck me upon opening and using the cream was the fragrance. It smelled like fake tan, not entirely pleasant. The consistency of the cream a little watery, not as creamy as I would prefer. for a medium tint given this is my usual choice for BB cream foundation etc., however this made me look decidedly sun tanned, slightly on the orangey shade. I used around a small pea size dollop and applied with fingertips. I wouldn’t have worn it on its own as it wasn’t a great coverage. I applied foundation over the top. My skin still looked a little too tanned. Maybe I would get away with this in summer but in winter I just looked a little bright. I didn’t notice any significant difference or improvement in my skin. I am not sure how long I would need to use this to see the result of the claim on the pack - “Miracle Skin Perfector” I’d be unlikely to recommend this as I do prefer my usual BB cream of choice.

Skin type - Mature Consistency - thick & creamy Application - I first apply with my finger tips was ok, the second time I applied it I used my Clarins Instant Smooth perfecting touch primer & applied with a brush which I found better for blending & easier to apply. Fragrance - Pleasant light nice. Coverage - Sheer gave my skin a nice glow, but I prefer more coverage but good for when you don't want to look like you are wearing make up. Longevity - All day but I think some of the product absorbs into your skin. Price - Very affordable compared to others on the market. Packaging - Attractive clear easy to read. Results - Not in a week I think you would have to use this product longer to see anti ageing results, it did give my skin a nice glow. Recommend to a friend - Yes if they were on a tight budget but there are better BB creams that are more expensive that have a better coverage.

First of all, thank you for the opportunity to be chosen to trial this product. I found this cream quite heavy for every day use and stopped using it on the fourth day. I found this cream thicker to apply than other tinted moisturisers that I have used and it stayed oily throughout the day. Whenever I blew my nose, the cream rubbed off onto the tissue - it also rubbed off onto my clothing. However, the colour suited my complexion but instead of applying it with my fingers, I should have used make up sponge - I think the coverage would have been better. I wouldn't use this particular BB cream again, but I would recommend it to my friends with dry skin but not combination or T-Zone.
