Garnier Skin Perfector BB Cream Oil-Free Review

I have oily and sensitive skin and I frequently have to deal with acne and clogged pores. I also have open pores on my cheeks and the centre of my forehead, so when I saw this product I just knew I had to try it.

The bb cream is pretty watery, and it feels incredibly light on my skin. I must say that for such a watery and light bb cream, the pigmentation of this bb cream is incredible. A little goes a long way. I also love how the tube feels solid, and although it doesn't look like it, I think the tube actually holds a lot of product and will last me a long time.

So as I said, the pigmentation of the bb cream is superb, and it provides pretty decent coverage. I have quite a fair bit of blemish marks on the side of my cheek, and one layer of this managed to make them about 60-70% less noticeable. Only the major marks still show through. Since I usually wear this in the day, I haven't tried building up coverage, but I believe it can be easily be done by applying just one or two more layers.

On the downside, I find that the color may look a little orange toned on some people, and I have heard similar comments from friends as well. It came out looking pretty orange on my hand, but when it dried out it looked rather natural and didn't have that grey shade that most bb creams do.

Application of this is easy as it is runny and spreads easily. I find that i can quickly distribute it evenly without having to rub or tug at my skin too much. So when you're rushing in the morning, slapping this on doesn't take much time. The watery feel disappears after a while and the product becomes matte, but you still have sufficient time to spread it out on your face before it dries out.

Perhaps due to the recent change in weather, I think my skin is experiencing some dryness, and the dry skin shows through really obviously with this bb cream, so don't use this if you have dry skin. On the bright side, this has worked wonders in reducing the appearance of pores. I also tried this on half my face, and at the end of the day the side with this bb cream on was more matte than the other side with NOTHING on. So it definitely does what it claims - smaller pores, matte face, reduces imperfections... The only claim I strongly disagree with is that it is moisturizing (so I gave 4/5 stars)

In conclusion, this product has truly impressed me, and I can't wait to bring this back to hot and humid Asia to test out. The low price is definitely a plus point as well.

The coverage is absolutely amazing and it blends out so well, I loved using this as a foundation rather than a BB cream. I'd recommend this to anyone who is wanting a light yet full coverage BB cream. The only downsides I had with this was the packaging as every time I would twist the lid off the product would squirt out on its own. And my skin broke out quite badly after a few uses. But overall it is great!

I haven't heard the best things about garnier bb creams, I remember when the first one came out they were a lot of very disappointed ladies, so I honestly didn't have very high hopes for this, but I was extremely surprised when u first used it. It smooths over my entire face like a primer and covers all my imperfections like a foundation, the coverage in my opinion would resemble that of my loreal true match but it feels like nothing, it doesn't leave my face feeling greasy and it lasts surprisingly well, I can put it on in the morning, run a few errands, play with my son all day at the park, come home have a nap and wak up with it still pretty much the same as it was when I put it on! I don't feel like I need to use a foundation over the top but it would be a good base if you wanted an extra boost of coverage to your normal foundation, and I barely feel like I need concealer. Very very happy with this product

This was the first time I have used a BB cream so I wasn't to sure what to expect. After trying this I think I will definitely consider using it again. I have quite oily skin, and so have been using an oil-free foundation. I wasn't too sure how well this would work because of this, and having tried other foundations and getting a very oily look I was a bit skeptical of this. However, it worked like it said it would.

As for the claims it makes, I'd say it lives up to them all, apart from the matte effect but that isn't a big issue for me. It's nice being able to use it to hydrate my skin as well and as a foundation. It goes on very easily, a little goes a long way.

This BB cream works either just by itself for a light coverage, but also under foundation for a bit more coverage. I wore it both ways depending on how much coverage I wanted for the day. The colour worked well for me. Initially when I saw the colour on my hand I thought that it would be way to dark, but once it was applied to my skin it seemed to blend in perfectly.

I almost fell of my chair when I heard that this "miracle cream" was promising to replace 5 creams I had cluttering my drawers. Yeah right! - I thought. It's not until I actually tested Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector BB Cream that I found out it actually does target all this crucial areas: 1-It perfects your skin while (2) giving it a matte finish; (3) it moisturises your face and it gives you UV protection (4), all that while making you look tan (5)!. I normally use it over my clean skin after the toner. Since I've started I've been getting compliments from people who say my skin looks fresh and young. yayyy. Even though BB is a sunscreen, it's not heavy, nor does it make your skin look white and dull. I use it for day and night. I'm a fan of its light consistency and it's always a precious bonus to get coverage out of your moisturiser! Thanks Garnier!

I found this really lovely to use. It didn't dry my skin out and it is very light. It covers any marks or blemishes and dark circles. I would use this all the time!

First things first, the package (Box) nothing really stood out about it, if I saw it in a shop it would stand out with other products, as I think the colour's on the box are not bright enough. Also the words should be in bold, and logo brighter. The product it's self, I found the smell was really strong, smelt like a purfume. When I put it on I thought it would be easy to spreed around my face, yet I felt like it dried as I moved it around. The colour was lovely, however I found you would have to put alot on to get a good coverage, and in doing that the colour tends to go to dark and loses the effect of a even skin tone. My skin didnt react at all which was good, and I did notice my face was not as (oil shiny) as it often is which was also a bonus. I wouldnt use this again however I would recommend others to try it as its not a bad product, just not for me.

I thought this product was fantastic my skin was feeling dry before i used it and within the next few days it moisturiesd my face and made it feel great it also gave my good coverage from my pimples which was a bonus . It smell great on also . And it have a nice texture to work with . The only thing that let it down the littlest bit was that after 4-5 hours it fades in spots of your face . But still love it :)

Okay, so I had tried the standard Garnier BB Cream two years ago and had been underwhelmed. It was too pink for my warm undertone (I'm NC35-37 in Mac) and made my skin very oily.

Fast forward 2 years and to this review.

I wore the BB cream for one full week, both for work and in the weekends.

I like the updated packaging - lovely and slimline and felt it compared well to say a Mac Studio Sculpt tube. I thought the quantity of product was good too.

For the colour, the options to test were light and medium. I tend towards needing a medium/deep, but because it's winter I thought medium might work for me. It was ever so slightly light, but I was able to work with it using a bronzer to warm the outside of my face. I found that the product had a very slighty shimmer to it which would be lovely in summer months. However, it probably needs to be promoted a bit more as some people don't like having such a dewy look on their face -particularly people who are trying to minimise oiliness. Having said that, I did get comments that my skin was looking quite luminous which was a plus.

I found that I had to use a light powder to set this

The texture is a little runny. In fact it tends to run and make the tube a bit messy. On the face it was very easy to spread and you could definitely layer up so that you had more coverage. I used a few application techniques. It was easy to apply with fingers, although you need a bit more product. A sponge likewise. The best method was with a buffing foundation brush.

Wearability wise it's not as long lasting as a foundation - even if you set it. I'd say 5 hours tops which is pretty standard for a bb cream. However, it seems to be nice and light so easy to re-apply and still have a natural finish.

Overall, it was a really nice product. I would use again although I think that I would be a darker shade if available - to offset the shimmer in it.

This product would have been more suited to try and review in summer because of the SPF in the BB cream. However, I do feel like the product gave my skin a healthy glow and was really easy to blend into my skin. I always set my foundation or BB creams with a powder because my face is quite oily. But with this product my face stayed matte for much of the day which I found to be really great.

Overall this product was great and I would recommend it for anyone who suffers with quite oily skin and someone who likes quite a sheer coverage.
