Garnier Skin Perfector BB Cream Oil-Free Review

My skin is usually combination - can be oily in places and dry in others. One the oily areas makeup usually wears of quickly and dry arras can be hard to blend. I found the consistency a bit runny at first but quickly got used to it and it has amazing coverage which suprised me for its consistency. It was easy to apply - I used my fingers. Blended very easily and smoothly on both the oily areas and the dry. I moisturized prior to every application which helps. The product had a nice light fragrance that didn't bother me at all.. i barEly noticed it. My skin is quite red especially on my cheeks, but the bb cream blended nicely to cover the redness and evened out my skin tone.. even enough so I was brave enough to wear the bb cream on its own without foundation which I did not expect! It left a nice Dewey almosy matte completion which felt dry to touch and not shiny or oily at all and it almost felt like I wasn't wearing any makeup. I did wear it under foundation when I went out and found it made my skin look amazing and flawless and helped the foundation blend super easy. I even had compliments of how great my skin was looking! On its own it lasted about half a day before the redness in my cheeks and on my nose were visible but under foundation it helped it say put a long longer then normal. The price (around $20.00) is a steal.. i would happily pay between 30 -40.00 for this product! The size is great.. it dosnt take much to get good coverage so I expect this product may last me a while and the spf 15 is a great bonus! The I love the look of the packaging.. very stylish and the shape of the tube was very easy to use and convenient.. easily slips in my handbag! After only a few days of using the bb cream I have noticed it has helped control the shine on my skin and even smoothed out some of the dry areas I had. It blended well to reduce my redness and definatley evened out my skin tone while wearing it. It even reduced the redness of a small mole I have which can be hard to cover. I don't have very noticeable pores anyway so cannot comment on this but it has given a radiance to my skin I didn't have before.. The comments from others I had prove this! I would definatly recommend this to a friend.. In fact I already have! I've tried similar products before claiming to do the same thing but have not found a product yet that worked like it said, but Garnier has managed to do it with this product. I don't think I will ever be without it from now on!

Wow this product is amazing. From the first time I put this on it was amazing. It instantly looked like I had just had a spray tan. It is so smooth and easy to apply. This has helped my skin feel tighter and has less imperfections. I also think it has helped get my naturally oily skin back to a normal range. My skin is feeling softer and smoother than it has for awhile. i use this under my mineral foundation and it just really helps give it a naturally flawless looking makeup for my day. I am really impressed by this product and will be swapping to this instead of buying my ridiculously expensive liquid foundation.

I personally love BB creams but Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector BB Cream is by far the best one I have used. It does exactly it says it would do including covering blemishes and evened out my skin tone. I only had to apply a thin layer and my skin looked flawless. I would recommend this to everyone I know. It is affordable and works like a charm!

This product says that it will give you "flawless skin" but it doesn't. BB creams are never going to give full coverage, so leaving you with flawless skin is basically never going to happen. It did cover some redness but because it wasn't full coverage the red on my cheeks was still obvious. It didn't cover my pimples (which I expected) and it was patchy when I applied. I tried using it with primer underneath and it helped slightly with the application but it still involved a LOT of buffing to try to get the formula to move. The formula dries super quick so involves a lot effort to get it to sit right. It also catches on any dry patches you might have - that doesn't look so hot, let me tell you.

I was sent the shade in medium and if this is the darkest shade Garnier has decided to put out, this is appalling. I have fair to olive skin so this will in no way cater to people with even remotely dark skin.

The one redeeming feature of this product was that it didn't seem to oxidise as much as I thought it might. One of the downsides is that it starts slipping off my face after a couple of hours. After 5 hours most of the product has melted. I needed to powder it in place to make it last longer (this only ended up being about an hour longer than no powder).

I felt like it didn't live up to it's expectations at all, especially the absorbing oil part. (FYI: Perlite is a non-renewable resource so I feel really weird about putting it on my face) In terms of making my face glow, nope. It also failed to absorb oil. My face wasn't left matte - I had to add powder to make that happen. It possibly moisturised but my skin didn't feel any different afterwards. It did feel like I was wearing foundation though - my face felt cakey and it smelt gross. The product literally stinks which is a real problem.

Also it advertises itself as having SPF in it, but realistically the amount you would get from using this product is no where near enough to protect you in NZ. You would still need sunscreen underneath, especially in summer.

Over all this product was awful. I would not recommend it, will not re-purchase it, and in fact am going to throw mine out. It does nothing it says it will except make you feel like no one is gonna want to pash you because your face smells gross. Very sad.

Id just like to start off my review with saying thank you to BR for giving me the opportunity to review this product in the shade light. I have combination skin , dry areas around my nose , in between my eyebrows and just below my eyes. I also get oily on my fore head and chin. Some products seem to cling to my skin in the dry areas and this BB cream did just that ! but next time , i used a primer before hand and it seemed to make it a little better ! but were i am oily it looked good! The consistency is really watery and goes every where! every time i open the tube there is product all over the lid, that does not impress me. I feel like a lot of product would get wasted over time! Day one; I tried using my fingers first to see how it would apply and it dried really quick , so i had to keep adding more and i felt it didn't go on even when applying that way. The next day i applied it with my real technique expert brush, it applied smooth and looked more even than my fingers ! i also used primer , the primer made the BB cream go on smoother. So for the rest of the week i kept using the expert brush and primer. I did not like the smell at all! it smelt like the alcoholic drink Mud shake, but once you put it on your face you don't smell it. This BB cream is defiantly light coverage! i have a little bit of redness on my cheeks and also on my chin, it didn't do to well with covering them up. I did try to build it up but after applying the 2nd layer it went very yuck and cakey , so id recommend just using a concealer. I found this BB cream is quite matte rather than dewy. It lasted on my skin for about 4 hours before looking patch and just yuck! It's okay for a home BB cream or even just going out for a few hours , but if you were going out for the whole day with this i wouldn't recommend it but that could just be my skin . The packing does not work for how runny it is , the other Garnier BB creams all have different packaging. It would be better for it to be like those ones as it would be easier to get out of the tube and it wouldn't go every where! On the packet it says that it will ; reduce pores but my pores were still the same? I did like that it was SPF 15 but i still think you would need to wear sun screen underneath as it wears off quite fast. After using this product for seven days , i would not buy it because i have other BB creams for the same sort of price that do a better job. I didn't like the smell , i found the tube and how runny it was just annoying. I wouldn't recommend it to a friend.

Being the first time I've ever used a BB cream, I can't compare this one to other brands, but I can say that I am very impressed by this product. The lightweight cream glides on smoothly and blends evenly to create a healthy glow with a non-oily, matte finish which lasts all day. It also conceals any patchiness or redness. I have a sensitive skin and usually get a few spots from my foundation, but this BB cream felt just like a moisturiser. I would definitely pay the recommended retail price for this product.

This is another one of my absolute go to products. I use this as a light coverage foundation for work during the week. The formula suits my skin perfectly, and corrects all imperfections. I did try the other BB creams by Garnier and I have to say this is defiantly my favourite. The other ones tend to set quickly and soon oxidise providing no coverage. Argh orange! I apply this with either my fingers or a real techniques stippling brush over a light primer and I find it lasts all day. If it tends to get a bit shiny, depends on seasons tho, I will brush a transparent powder over the top and we are good to go again. The only real downside to this product is that'll is VERY runny. I store it lid upward to try and avoid any surprise spills. Prise wise - this product works like a foundation for me so $17.99 is cheap. Shhh... I'd probably pay more.....

I felt this product was no better than any other BB creams I have used, which don't do a lot for me. It worked well enough under other liquid foundation, but I tried wearing it by itself and found, despite what the claims, it became shiny after a couple of hours and didn't have much staying power. I'm unimpressed, really. Will have to keep using it to see if the claims of long-terms effects are true. But based on it's performance so far I'm not hopeful.

I was very excited when my trial samply finally arrived . I read all the information that coved the entire box, not sure if all the information needed to be on display, a leaflet inside the box would have been better. I have most of the time a normal type skin, with at times the oily T problem. Day one and this was the moment to start testing the BB cream and see what all the excitment was about. I requested the Light cream. I first smelt the cream and found a pleasent fragrance not to strong and quite fresh like a boarder of garden flowers, I squeezed a small amount out onto my finger tips, it was very creamy and when I applied the BB cream, it was so smooth and glided on with no effort at all. I am of mature years so have had many, and I say many years of applying all types of foundations and skin tints, so this one was a plesant surprise in its application and coverage. The cream gave my face a very clean and flawless look with a fabulous finish and so after applying all my other war paint I went of to work with a little skip in my step and felt quite beautiful, and ready to take on the world.I found that the BB cream lasted the distant and even after a full day and work and most of the evening until it was time to take off my face paint, it still had a clean fresh feel and looked just as good as in the morning, so I was very impressed. So many time you buy a beauty product, and you have such high hopes that it will deliver,and you find that no it does not, well the Garnier BB cream is a keeper, yes I believe in this product, and I am very happy with how it makes my skin look and feel. Will keep on with my trial sample and see how it is after a few more weeks and see if my happy lines are reduced, don't like the wrinkle word. I loved this cream and would recommend to others, give it a go and feel the difference. GO BB CREAM GO.

After it being recomended by a friend, I gave it a go... I dont like to wear alot of makeup to work (i have quite a physically demanding job) but this stays PUT all day and isnt cakey or heavy. -Ive never had so many people tell me how beautiful my skin looks until I started to use this cream! BB you are defnitly my new BBESTFRIEND!
