Garnier Skin Perfector BB Cream Oil-Free Review

Have tried this stuff quite a few times and it never does what it says it will. It leaves a sheer film of oily crap on my skin and doesnt really cover anything. Will stick to foudnation!

I used this well I had bad skin thinking since its light it would make a difference and allow my skin to breathe. However It did the complete opposite and made my skin worse. It didn't make a difference and no coverage at all. Ended up giving it to my mum she liked it so I guess different people different reactions. I have reacted to other BB Creams as well so obviously not for me.

Absolutely annoyed with this product mainly due to the packaging -_- The BB cream would pour out and leak and make a total mess even when the lid is tightly closed. The coverage is average, very sheer and light wear. Not to my liking at all. Would not recommend it.

I find that all Garnier bb creams are yucky too thick, this one is slighty runniner then the others but the colouring is still way off just plain orange i am so glad i did not purchase these i would have been guttered.

I really didn't like this product. I do like G anti ageing BB cream and other products from the G range. When I ran out of my last BB cream it was coming on summer and I figured It would be best to find a BB cream with a sunscreen... I was excited to find this product, produced by a brand I trusted so I brought it.

I brought the medium shade which is not whats in the tube.... It's a chalky pale orange cakey mess after it's applied to my face, nothing at all like their other BB creams. Frankly if I wanted to look like caked up disaster I would have gone for a thick unforgiving foundation. I was so disappointed and needed a change after that so I changed brands and got exactly what I was after for only a couple of $'s more.

Used the other Garnier BB cream and loved it. This one doesn't apply so easily and I wouldn't buy it again. It made my skin look greasy - I gave this one away to a friend, and it suits her more than me.

This product went on smoothly to start with but dried really quickly, making it difficult for me to achieve my desired first even, lighter layer coverage. Dried matte as promised, but had a slightly unappealing powdery texture. I applied as lightly as I could to begin with and understandably, the coverage was not as good as I expected, However, I asked other people in my household at that time (without telling them I had applied anything) if they noticed a difference. Two women and one man - all said that whatever I had put on my face was not at all flattering, and looked very "artificial". Needless to say I did not do a second application for more coverage. I have olive skin and chose the medium shade so perhaps I should have chosen dark? The scent was ok,

Longevity - Lasted all day. Price - good in comparison to other similar products. Packaging - ok but way too 'busy' and even with my glasses I had trouble reading the small print. Results - I (and everyone else) was not happy with the look. It certainly combated my oil issues, but my skin felt overly dry. I would not recommend it.

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.

Dried my skin out, and went patchy. Not much of a shade selection either. Compared to maybelline, this was thinner and had less coverage.
