All Garnier products are officially approved by Cruelty Free International.

Since 1989, Garnier has been committed to a world without animal testing.

GARNIER'S new BB Cream,  combats shiny, oily skin, by combining the power of ultra-absorbent mineral pigments for an immediate matte look and perfect, even-toned skin. 

The oil-free BB cream works in five ways. It reduces imperfections, moisturises, gives skin a healthy glow, delivers a beautiful matte finish to skin and provides all-important sun protection with SPF 15.

GARNIER'S Oil-free BB Cream provides instant results while also improving the skin’s quality over time. After four weeks the results are clearly visible; skin is less oily, pores reduced in size, imperfections are visibly reduced and skin radiance is improved.

It has a  new active ingredient,  Mineral perlite - a powerful volcanic rock extract known for its ultra-absorbing properties.

Mineral perlite is able to retain up to two-and-a-half times its weight in oil and water and is five times more absorbing than talc, meaning any excess sebum is absorbed to fight that oily shine. This combined with uncoated mineral pigments gives the skin an even tone and a perfectly matte finish

GARNIER Miracle Skin Perfector-Oil-free BB cream is available in two shades - light and medium.

Oil Free BB Cream

Useful to wear under foundation to give it even more coverage, I would wear this with a moisturiser and primer first to ensure the best finish. Using a foundation brush to apply gives a nice even (slightly thicker) coverage. The colour isn't quite right, I guess I picked the wrong one! But with so few colours to choose from, it is understandable that it won't suit everyone. Wish there were testers at the store for this! I have noticed they don't seem to provide them... Wears a little during the day and doesn't quite cover larger pimple scars, but covers redness & pores relatively well.

Tips: Watch out, it's runny! :-)

Is Garnier BB Cream Right For You?

From my experience this product lived up to what it claimed it would achieve such as minimise my pores, cover any imperfections, and provide a good coverage for an even looking complexion with a matt finish that lasts throughout the day.

I only trialled the product for one week so cannot comment on whether it would actually reduce the overall pore size (but I doubt it would make a difference as generally this is a permanent condition), however, it certainly refined the appearance of my pores while wearing the product.

The texture of the product is lightweight and somewhat runny so a little bit of product goes a long way and since it is highly pigmented it provides a really good coverage for a BB cream.

It would be a great product for someone with oily skin as I found my skin felt a little bit tight and dry wearing it just on its own so tried applying it following my moisturiser which worked like a treat. With the arrival of winter my skin is currently more dry combo than oily combination skin as it tends to fluctuate with the seasons.

The product comes in a handy tube packaging that you could easily keep in your handbag for touch ups during the day or after the gym etc. The box is covered in marketing material that informs you about everything you need to know about the product and has some helpful tips too!

The other added bonus is that it has a UV protection of SPF 15 and with its oil free texture it can work well as a base for makeup and then you only need to apply foundation or concealer in the areas required.

Tips: Start by only using a small amount of product and then build the coverage up to achieve your desired result. Apply a touch of mascara, blush and lipgloss and you have a fast and easy natural day makeup.

moisture robber.

I have very oily skin so I was excited to receive this product. I found the texture of the liquid itself to be silky and very fluid. Once applied on clean bare skin (no moisturizer) I felt as if the product was absorbing all possible moisture and felt like my skin was being robbed of moisture. Despite that it went on nicely. It has a very sheer coverage, yet has just enough pigment to help blur redness etc. It sets to a matte finish that still has a glow to it One plus is unlike many other matte finish products it does not draw attention to fine peach fuzz hairs.

Coverage is very buildable Has no nasty smell like some other bb creams.

Tips: Definately use moisturizer first!

Garnier Skin Perfector BB Cream Oil-Free SPF 15

This is one of the best BB Cream's I have ever actually used, it gives great coverage and dries to a matte finish which is perfect for oily skin. All I need is a little concealer, some mascara, blush and lippy and I'm good to go!

Tips: If like me, you get a little dry in some areas, make sure you moisturise first before applying this.

Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector

Overall this product was really good! It helped to cover acne and acne scaring but of course I still had to put on concealer. It had an amazing overall coverage and reduced redness. It was amazing at mini zing pores almost to the point where they were invisible. I have dry skin as eel as oily skin so I did have to do a bit of extra moisturising for some reason so I didn't show any dry skin. But I think that for the oil-free side, it helped me feel less oily but I don;t think it reduced the look of oiliness on my face. But over all I really liked this product and for the price I would definitely buy it again.

Tips: To help minimize pores, grab your burst or beauty blend and use the tip. Go over in a circular motion to reduce the appearance of pores.

Time to risk a change?

Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector. Sounds almost too good to be true. And at first it seems to be. Thick, and too dark (despite being "light"), and felt as though it added to the oil rather than being 'oil-free'. But once you get past that first initial attempt and get it right, it's pretty darn good. It blends wonderfully, hiding all those dark patches and spots you'd rather not have people see. And it lasts. By the end of the day your face is still looking as feeling as fresh as when you first applied it. This is not the product for those who like to go hard on their makeup. But for those who just want to 'perfect' their face, it's a pretty good choice. I would recommend this to others.

Tips: I found that applying it quite soon after moisturiser helps it to blend better. Leaving it too long meant it felt quite thick and oily.

Ganier Miracle Skin Perfector BB Cream Oil Free

I was really excited when I saw we got a full size BB cream to try! I normally love the idea of bb cream and then am slightly disappointed. I have tried many different brands of BB cream and I would have to say this is one of the better ones! I have normal to oily skin and even though it didn't stop the shine from appearing half way through the day I didn't really mind because it just looked for like a nice glow rather than full on oil slick shine like when I use foundation, and I easily fixed the oil by setting my t zone with powder. The product was runnier than I expected so you need to be careful when holding the package without the lid on because it will go everywhere if you tip it upside down. I wished it had more coverage but I just had to add a bit of concealer over my acne scarring and that was fine. Putting the concealer on also helped with the colour because even though I received the BB cream in 'light', they are really never light enough, always as bit to much yellow in them but if you buff it out well using a brush instead of your fingers to apply it is easy to get a nice consistent colour. I loved that my skin still looked like skin.

Tips: Using a brush to buffer the BB cream in gives it a better finish. Add a touch of concealer in the areas you want a fuller coverage and set with powder if you do get oily and it will great all day.

LOVE

I have very oily, oily skin. I have tried every oil control/oil free makeup on the market expensive, exclusive to cheap stuff and have never been happy with any until now!!! Please, please do not get rid of this product!! After only one application I am extremely impressed! Gives me great coverage. I have notice that the BB cream is very runny and it makes it a little hard to blend.. There is a strong alcohol smell when applying, but above all, I love it!

Garnier Miracle Skin perfector BB cream Oil free

I actually love this product, I don't say that often about stuff I put on my face as just about everything causes me to break out! It really gives awesome coverage and eliminates a lot of the redness. I found I could use it instead of foundation and just put a small amount of powder on top. If you do have oily or combination skin get this one over any of the others. I tried the anti aging one but it just left me with great coverage but all shiny.

Tips: Use with a nice under eye concealer if you have and dark areas and you can use a powder over top but its not a must.

Good BB cream

I like that this BB cream runs smooth on my face. It comes as a liquid texture and others may find it a bit runny, but I like it since it's easier to apply on my face. My skin absorbs it quickly and it gives me a natural light coverage look. The only thing that I don't like about it is that after I apply it on, it looks oily and I have to pat a translucent powder to matte it up. But it's a good BB cream! :)
