Garnier Skin Perfector BB Cream Oil-Free Review

I have always had combination skin, making the staying factor of my make up a constant challenge. When I saw this BB Cream, I wondered if this might finally provide a solution. My first use of the BB Cream was nottoo good, i applied like a moisturiser and so ended up with way too much product on my face! ha ha. However, on day 2 I just added a drop to each finger tip on my left hand and dabbed on my face before blending in. The Cream is runnier than I was expecting, but blended into my face beautifully. I did find that i had to store the tube upside down to prevent the product pouring out when opened. Application - is it easy to apply? How did you apply it? The coverage was great, I found that just 4 small drops was enough for my face, and that it stayed in place all day long. Usually at the end of the day when I cleanse my face, there is hardly any make up left (except mascara) but since using this BB Cream I have noticed that I still have nearly a full face of make up. Yay, finally my make up isn't running off during the day!! I think this has a great price, does what it says it will do, the packaging is easy to store and get the product out of, but for a first time user, I think a bit more application instruction would be handy. However, like i mentioned before, I recommend storing it upside down to stop the cream running out when you open it - saves mess, and product wastage. I have already told my friends around this, and will definitely be continuing to use it. After just 2 days I received compliments about how fresh and clear my face was looking :) Can't wait to see how my skin continues to improve as after just 1 week it seems to be less oily and less red. I also love the fact I haven't had to use foundation with this either!!

Having never used or considered using a BB cream I was excited to trial. The packaging/advertisement promises a lot for a cream. And generally these promises were surprisingly correct.

First impressions of the BB cream was that it was very runny which was not expected. Easy to make a mess, especially within the lid. The colour matched my skin well which is usually difficult when so light. Coverage was good minimising redness and blemishes. It felt light on the skin and did not appear caked on. Can be layered to give a thicker coverage. Lasted most of the day at work but by the end of the day was bearly noticeable. Was easy to apply (just with fingers as a standard cream) and easy to blend. If enough care was not taken to blend then a tide mark can be noticeable. Dried with a nice matte finish.

Generally I did like this product and less it better. I would use this product again as a quick morning/work alternative to makeup. It does what it says it will within limits of a cheaper bb cream.

I was sceptical about the idea of a mattifying BB cream for oily skin but I was pleasantly surprised. There is no noticeable fragrance and the cream is surprisingly liquidy so make sure you keep the tube upright when you're using it but this consistency makes it quite easy to apply. I like applying the product with my fingers but I do use a makeup sponge to add a little extra around my nose and to smooth out any patchiness. The first time I applied it I think I used too much because a little goes a looooong way but once I mastered the application I found it had a nice light coverage which can easily be built up as much as you like. I felt like it covered up my redness and left me with a lovely matte finish that lasted almost all day (I have a tendency to rub my face). I feel like it's definitely worth the price which isn't much compared to other products and lasts forever since you only need a little bit everyday. The packaging is nice and simple and looks like other garnier products with black and green on the box and a nice flesh tone on the tube. The only negative thing I can think of is that I have seriously pale skin (yay winter) and even though I chose the light colour, I thought it was a little dark for me but a little pale finishing powder made a huge difference and I'm sure it will be spot on in Summer. All in all I would say that if you have oily skin that normal foundation slides off then this the product for you. I love it.

The actual product was nice. It wasn't greasy or strong in fragrance, but sadly for me, the light colour was far too dark. It left dark orange lines around my chin despite countless attempts at blending. If my skin tone was darker I would consider wearing this.

This product does what is says it does - It reduces imperfections, moisturises, gives skin a healthy glow and delivers a beautiful matte finish to skin. My skin stayed matte all day and I didn't have to touch up with powder at all.

I really enjoy using this product as a daily touch up before heading out of the front door. It certainly delivers on it's promise of a matte finish that smoothes away imperfections. It did however take me a few attempts to perfectly balance the amount of product and blending required in order to achieve the matte finish I wanted without too much of a "make-up" look. Now I use it on a daily basis to hide those little imperfections, keep my t-zone shine under control and for a little extra sun protection. I really love this product and a little can go a long way, especially when using underneath foundation or powder.

I found this to be good coverage but didn't like the matt dried look it left on my skin. It's good if your wanting matt look for you face. Just found it to have a very drying appearance very quickly once applied

I reviewed this BB cream in the combination to oily skin type.It comes packaged in a box and the tube is a tall, sleek design which looks nice. The consistency of the product is much runnier than other BB creams that I have used. As soon as I removed the lid the product came flowing out so I had to be careful when opening it.The product goes on to the skin really easily. I applied with either my fingers or a sponge and I found that the sponge gave a more even finish. The product blended nicely and gave a nice light coverage and evened out my skin tone. It didn't have enough coverage to hide blemishes so it would be good for people with clear skin that want a little coverage or for 'no makeup look' days. The cream dried to a nice subtle matte finish which worked well on my oily skin but did start to wear off after a few hours. I tried this in the shade light however it was still to dark for me. Unfortunately this is the lightest shade so I won't be able to use it until maybe summer time. My skin also felt a little itchy when using this BB cream so I felt like I couldn't wear it for too long. It has a very slight alcohol smell to it but that was only when I sniffed the tube quite strongly, otherwise I didn't notice a smell. I wouldn't use this product myself as I like quite full coverage but it would be suitable for people who don't like to wear full coverage foundation.

I normally have combination skin with some problem areas and find it hard to get foundation to sit right on my skin, I liked the Garnier BB Cream as it was a light formula that is moisturizing for the skin. It is quite a light coverage, but if you are wanting to build on it I reapplied a few times. I found that the shade is what let me down with this product, it was a bit too dark/orange for my skin tone and I think they would benefit from having a few more shades to choose from. The packaging is standard, nothing too flash but pleasing enough, it is easy to control how much comes out at one time which was a bonus! I found that this product helped clear some problem areas on my skin as I wasn't having to use that much, and it's not a thick consistency. I found it was a dewy texture on my skin but that works for me as I have dry areas. Overall I would reccommend this product as it is a light, affordable options for people who don't like or need to wear a heavy coverage foundation.

Just loved this product. The packaging great and the smell is pleasant. I prefer it to my foundation and i have tried lots of them and i think this is much better over all great price lovely coverage and applies lovely. Def a keeper in my makeup bag
