Garnier Skin Perfector BB Cream Oil-Free Review

I was quite skeptical of this product as I had tried another version of this last year and it was a disaster. I was pleasantly surprised with the oil free variety, I have a very oily t-zone and this BB cream matched my skin tone (light) perfectly, gave great light/medium coverage and kept me relatively matte all day.

The product feels light on the skin and gives a nice finish. I haven't noticed any difference in my skin though, but it is a fantastic product for everyday use.

I got the Garnier BB Cream as part of the trial in the shade light. I was really looking forward to trialling the product however I found it was 2-3 shades too dark for me. I wore the products a few times hoping it may tone down after a bit however the product oxidised and appeared orange and streaky after a while. I liked the consistency as it was easy to spread onto your face although it is a lot runnier than I expected it would be. I feel like it would be a really good product if the shade matched my skintone. I did try the product a few other times with both primer and powder over top just to see if it helped. Primer did stop it oxidising, however it was still too dark.

I have oily skin with rosey red cheeks. Packaging: 2/5 The BB cream is in a long tube that sits on its lid. The reason i rate the packaging so badly is because the cream is very runny so when the tub is stood upright the product pours out when you open the lid. Smell: 1/5 The smell of this is awful it smells like pain thinner, which makes me worry what is in the cream Application: 4/5 after getting it out of the tube hopefully with it not pouring out all over you the cream is easy to apply like any other foundation. Coverage: 4/5 This product covers really nicely. Covers up my red cheeks and has a lovely matte finish. Colour: 3/5 I chose light, my skin is quite fair however the light was too light for me and I am guessing the medium would be far too dark. This is unfortunate that there are only two colour options. I did however manage to overcome this issue by applying some bronzer. With this cream as a base and a little bronzer to match it to my skin the result was awesome . Overall 3/5 I did like this product, it went on well and lasted all day. I still feel like my face was oily at the end of the day however. The smell really put me off as it reminded me off chemicals which does not make me feel good about putting it on my face. The overall look of the skin once this is applied is actually really nice and does a better job than some foundations I have used.

Was so happy to get to review this, have heard a lot about bb creams and garnier is a brand I like. I'm only on day 2 of trial but have to say this bb cream is awesome! As a busy mum I rarely have more than 2 mins to try look presentable.

- product is quite runny, first time I applied I did as said on bottle which is apply like a moisturiser.. This didn't work streaky face all over so I will use a sponge or brush from now on. - this is the perfect shade for me, I have freekles and this blends in and makes me all one shade (lol) - perfect matte finish!! -stays on all day. Re touch in late avo to last longer. - today I've used a powder on top and I'm super happy with the look...no need for a foundation today! -lightweight feels like a moisturiser and I'm hoping all the goodness in it will be good for my skin overtime. -doesn't have a strong smell - feels good ;-) -no oily or patchy parts of face! Which is a big thing for me!

Im not usually an overall fan of bb creams due to their lack ofe coverage I find that this one covers any redness very well and conceals well, the overall texture is very thin and runny not something that I am acostumed to using/wearing the formula seems to be very long wearing and does not melt towards the wnd of the day

overall I think that this bb cream does its job very well and the only dislike I have about it is the texture but that changes once applied to the skin anyway also this bb makes a really good primer/ base for foundation its a win/win from me xx

I was extremely excited to be invited to trial this as I haven't had much success with BB creams before. My first time using this I was really happy with the results. It gave me a nice and even coverage and covered up all my redness that I have around my nose, help hide my dark undereye circles AND hide my enlarged pores! (I'm excited to see how my pores look after four weeks as it says that this BB cream can reduce pore size)

I loved how it gives your skin a nice matte look and at the end of the day it had definitely helped with keeping my skin shine free.

I got mine in the medium shade. My husband didn't even realize I had anything on my skin, thats how natural it looks. Its definitely my go to moisturizer now.

I also used this as a primer and it helped my foundation stay all day and because it controls oil, I didn't need to powder throughout the day to keep the oil at bay. It helped me to achieve an even coverage and gave me a flawless look.

I'm definitely a BB cream convert now

I've been using BB cream on a daily basis for over a year now, so I was excited to try this one out. I found it quite good, it gives me a good thin coverage (doesn't exactly hide blemishes but sort of blends everything in and gives me a more even tone). Two things I noted though: Even though I ordered the lightest colour, it is still a bit too dark for my skin, so for very fair people out there, they may find the same problem. Also, the product is very liquidy and I found when I opened the lid it drips out all over the place and it's difficult to control how much comes out. Overall, I'm happy with it, but I think I'll stick with my usual BB cream as the shade suits my skin better.

I was interested in trying this BB cream because I had heard mixed reviews and am quite a fan of BB creams lately. The coverage is quite sheer which you would expect from a BB cream, but it went on evenly and I found it reasonably buildable and not too cakey when I reapplied after the first layer set. Not the longest wearing product though, after a few (3-5) hours I found that it would break down a bit around my nose and chin. I like that this has SPF in it though, so great for wearing every day (but probably will save this one for my good skin days!).

Garnier Miracle skin protecor oil- free BB cream just didnt suit me. It was to light for my skin and I got medium. I wish they had more colours. The bottle is sleek and it has a twist top lid which was easy to carry in my make up bag. However, what I found with this product is that it is very runny. It did give me a matte finish but it didn't last long. My face started to show the imperfections after a couple of hours. The product wasn't spectacular and I woudn't call it a miracle. My skin still wasn't even and it didn't give a good amount of coverage. The scent of this product wasn't nice. Personally I wont be purchasing this item.

I was really looking forward to giving this product a try. My forehead is generally the most oil prone part of my face so I was hoping it would get rid of that sheen I was all too familiar with.

It started out great! I got the light shade and it was a great match. It was easy to apply, albeit a little runny, but I had been told this by a friend so I was prepared when I opened it. It evened out my skin tone slightly, it moisturised and made my skin feel soft and the oil looked to be a thing of the past! But in about 3 hours, the shine had returned. I was quite disappointed!

I decided to give it another go but try it with a powder on top to see if it gave it a little more lasting power, and it did, but only an extra couple of hours. It just didn't seem to want to stay on my face!

I will still use it occasionally because I love that it gives a nice finish when it's first applied. Would be perfect on those days when you're running late for the school drop off or something similar, but for an all day lasting product, I'd be inclined to pick something else.
