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.

Not a fan

Even though this is easily found and for a reasonable price the product was a complete and utter fail for me.

1) Oil Free? Hmm well I broke out in spots over those areas of my face that are subjectable to oily patches. It also broke down across my face after a few hours.

2) Smell, it smells over the top of chemicals and doesn't really wear away, felt like I was adding paint to my face

3) Colour, it initially suited my skin tone but after application it oxidised and turned a very odd shade of orange, this was corrected using concealer and powder but when I wear a BB cream it is on those days when I want a 3 step makeup (BB, mascara and lipstick) to get out of the house looking natural so I wouldn't want to add the extra steps needed to not look really orange faced.

Overall it is a miss for me, but I generally have an adversary to Garnier products.

If your skin is orange, this'll work for you!

I was really excited to try this as it's a reasonably price and accessible product, but when I did it was very disappointing. :/ My skin is quite light, and this 'light' toned BB cream was orange on my face from the get-go - then after wearing it for an hour it'd oxidised to a beautiful darkened oompa-loompa tone. Asides from the colour, it doesn't blend out very well, even over primer, and separates a lot on the skin. My skin is combination and I'm prone to acne, and this made my face look like a child's painting to be honest - caught all my drier patches, sunk into the pores and clung to the peach fuzz on my cheeks, and separated all over the face.

Overall, this BB cream is a greasy orange mess and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

Tips: Don't try it. Just don't.

Unfortunate experience.

I was disappointed in this, I have pale skin and the fair/light colour of the product was actually quite dark, and very yellow, more like they were targeting it towards fair tanned people.

Tips: As it ages it becomes more orange.

Best coverage from a BB Cream

I have been using this regularly for a year now. I use it on work days where I don't want to wear a full face of make up. It has great coverage and lasts all day. It smells lovely too.

Tips: I use this as a base when I go out - it provides the moisturiser I need and base coverage I then apply my foundation on top of this.

Perfect for everyday

This is my go to product when I'm in a hurry to get ready for work or of I'm wanting a light coverage during the weekend. It is quick to apply and offers a nice medium coverage, hiding my pores and evening out my skin tone. I use the oil free version as I have naturally oily skin anyway so I find this product helps to mattify my skin. The price and pack size is economic and one tube lasts me months even though I use it daily. I love that it offers an spf15 protection, meaning that through the winter months I don't need to use an additional sunscreen.

It's a love hate relationship

I like using this BB cream for light coverage when I can't be bothered doing a proper full-face, but I personally get quite oily during the day and at the end of a day of wearing BB Cream on it's own, I am very shiney. It does provide good coverage though, can be applied fairly quickly, contains light sunscreen protection, and makes my pimple scarring less visible which I like.

Tips: I like to mix mine into my facial moisturiser to get more of a natural look-similar to a tinted facial moisturiser.

Perfect in Winter

I really liked the way this product went on. Nicely matte and a good coverage. I found it still didn't hold up to the oil slick that is my face in summer though, it also didn't last well through a work out. The spf probably isn't enough for me in summer either. It was perfect for me in winter though so I would use again but only in winter.

Garnier BB cream

It says oil free but it felt very greasy, it worked well, but powder is needed to stop it looking so shiny. Also a primer would help a lot!

It's average

A bit blotchy when applied. Thin coverage and not buildable as goes orange. There is a small shade range and because I have pale skin the lightest one is slightly too orange. You need to have a freshly washed face before applying. Didn't last very well on skin and didn't blend very well with other products.

Tips: Wash face before applying

Quite light

I found this BB cream very light, lighter than other BB creams I have used. I also found that it didn't spread on to my face all that well and looked a bit orange. It has a matte finish, which I liked, but that's about all I liked.

I wouldn't recommend this BB cream. There are many others on the market that do a better job
