Garnier Skin Perfector BB Cream Oil-Free Review

I have combination skin that has been dryer due to the weather and currently battling some hormonal acne . This product did not work well for me and my skin , I found it really messy to use as it just poured out due to the thin consistency when I applied the product It was very visible and u had trouble blending it in it just sat on the surface of my skin. I use it all week at work when I got home most of it was gone and my skin felt very oily . Would not purchase this myself but I will add my mum did give it a go and she actually liked it so I think it depends on your skin type. I wouldn't recommend this if you have acne or bumps as it just doesn't sit nice on the skin.

This was one of the first bb creams I tried. Yes it was matte at first and then when your oil comes through it looks glowy and not oily looking. However it did nothing for my skin I have dark spots on one cheek still looks the same.

It's more liquid than cream so I was surprised after using the garnier sensitive bb cream- this is completely different. The packaging was effective but I can see that it can be hard to control the liquid coming out. The coverage was very good and it didn't have the typical moisturising cream feel of bb creams but I'm happy with how well it does evening out my complexion. I got it in 'Medium' which I think suits my complexion perfectly. As it's winter, my skin is not really that oily so the bb cream lasted all day and I haven't really tested the mattifying properties of this bb cream (will have to wait until summer). But otherwise it meets the claims on the packaging, would love it more if the SPF was higher and if it didn't contain denatured alcohol.

Initially I tried the 'normal skin' BB cream and really didn't like the oily finish it left on my skin. Since trying the 'oil-free' version I am in love. It's quite runny so not as easy to apply with your fingers as the 'normal' version, but the coverage is good. During the week I use it as a primer under my foundation and during the weekend on it's own. I love the natural finish and it doesn't leave my skin oily or shiny. Would be great if they could make the consistency a little bit thicker, but other than that it's perfect and does everything it claims.

I got the oil-free, light version which was a perfect shade for me (I use Revlon Colourstay in shade 220 at the moment). I have tried a couple of BB cream samples in the past, but never really understood what all the fuss was about. I am now a convert! It is quite a runny formula, and you don't need to apply very much. During the week and if I went out, I used it under my foundation. I the weekend when I didn't have much planned, I used it by itself. Both applications worked well and lasted throughout the day. My skin definitely looked clearer. A good friend that I see a few times a week commented on the first day that my skin looked amazing and asked what had I done differently. This is a product I will continue to use regularly as I love the result.

I had really bad skin towards the end of last year. So i really looked to BB creams which were hydrating and provided enough coverage so i didn't have to use a foundation because i wanted to give my skin a break. I have now gone through two tubes of this stuff. I am really impressed by it. so hydrating and provides amazing coverage for a BB cream!

I use this quite alot and most of the time I am satisfied with the coverage that i wont use a foundation. I would say that it gives me a matte finish. Only thing i will say is that its a liquid formula so its tends to run everywhere out of the tube-If held upside down for to long.

Honestly, I LOVE this product! I've been using it for a couple of days now and I love the way it makes my skin look. It didn't really reduce the appearance of imperfections, but it done a fantastic job moisturizing my skin! I had no need what so ever to put on any moisturizer before I put on the BB Cream. I absolutely loved the matte finish it left my skin with too!

After using for more like a week, I have noticed that my skin is more hydrated than usual. Another bonus to this wonderful product!

In all a wonderful product and I would definitely recommend this to a friend.

Skin Type: Oily T-zone, Combination skin; Medium, yellow-undertone skin Previous BB Cream: Misha This product worked really well for me - I have actually been trying to find a BB cream that did make me break-out, and a matte one at that as well - I used Misha BB Cream previously, and despite the good reviews on that, it caused my skin to look and feel terrible after using and that's why I was looking for one I could use every day.

The product packaging is really nice, and you do get quite a bit of product for the price. The only negative is that it needs to be stored on its side, rather than being able to stand vertically.

The product itself is extremely watery, which made it difficult to apply. The first time I tried it, I applied it like a moisturiser, and it was way too much. The next few times I used a synthetic brush to apply, and that was a lot more natural.

The product performs well, it feels light, when applied with a brush, and it definitely minimizes the pores on my nose - of which is very visible otherwise. It does look a little bit cakey in areas of my skin which is a bit more dry.

Usually when I use BB creams, it gets extremely oily around the T-zone in about two hours, this lasted for about 4-5 hours before I had to blot, and even then it wasn't as oily as with my previous BB cream, I could probably get away with no blotting.

The Medium shade is a little bit dark for my skin, and from some angles it looks like it has a pink under-tone, but I think in summer, when my skin becomes a little more tanned it will match well.

Overall, I would purchase this product again, and it is definitely an every day product. It looks quite natural, evens out my skintone and minimizes the pores, and doesn't have negative impact on my skin afterwards. One caveat is that I tried this product in Winter, I can't be sure how it performs in summertime when it's much hotter.

I have a great foundation, however by the end of the day it has certainly started to wear off and lose coverage. After using this cream before application it held all day and it got rid of some of those freckles that just never stay hidden. Was pleasantly surprised at just how well it worked. Love that it doesnt make my skin oily either. Would definitely recommend

OMG is all i can say my skin has never ever been so good!! I covers up my yucky red cheeks and my skin looks fantastic, I have no oily sheen what so ever. I am using the medium colour and its just awesome, I can't fault it.
