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.

An amazing BB cream!

I was told of the effects of this BB cream and was super excited to try it. When I did, I was super amazed as to how well it covered my blemishes and evened out my skin tone. And it still left my face looking fresh and natural as if I hadn't put anything on.

Miracle skin perfector - Oil Free

I have quite oily skin and most BB creams (and foundations) can leave me with a nice oil slick, especially on my forehead, however the Garnier Oil-Free BB cream was the first product to not leave me looking shiny! This BB cream goes on lightly, has a nice texture to it making it easy to apply, the long nozzle on the bottle also helps meaning you don't get a huge clump of product all at once. There was a simple fragrance that didn't overpower you. This product definitely gave me an even skin tone and hid pesky blemishes, it lasted reasonably well throughout the day, although not as long as standard foundation would obviously. I liked the fact that it also contained an SPF15. I would definitely continue to use this product and would recommend it to anyone who has an issue with oily complexion

Tips: Use with a primer underneath with extra long lasting coverage.

My new everyday foundation!!

For many years I had found that a cheap foundation couldnt cut it for my skin. Most of them have just been too oily and/or the coverage just wouldnt be enough for my liking. So to be honest I was expecting the same with this one just because I have been using expensive foundations for the last couple of years.

This has really change my thoughts on a supermarket foundation. I am really enjoying this for every day use and actually it can work for night time use as well! I will get this comment out the way because this was the only downer I found with this product and that is its a shade or two darker than my skin tone. I can almost get away with it but if I was outside on a sunny day you could see a slight difference but I am willing to make it work as I am really loving it!!

I do have an oily skin and I was pretty addimate that this would not be able to control my oily flow but man was I wrong! With it having quite a thin consistantcy I thought it was going to have quite an oily finish to it just because its a supermarket product but it doesnt! Thank goodness! It has a nice matte finish but with out it feeling powdery on the skin. I was so glad that I had a good amount of time to trial this as I did play with it using different methods and using other different products with it. I reckon you can quite easily use a flat top kabuki and a beauty blender and it gives you a good finish. My favourite method for every day though would be the beauty blender, it just gives such a beautiful finish without the extra work. I also got the oppitunaty to mix it with my other foundation and test it out by reapplying it at night when I had been wearing it all day. It works soo well in so many different ways.

I found that this product has a medium to slightly builable coverage so its definately enough to even out your skin tone. I also love pairing it with my Australis fresh and flawless powder becuase this can help to give a bit more coverage with an even more flawless finish, argh perfection! The longevity of this product I was nicely suprised by too, I wouldnt rely on it for day and night wear but it definately lasts the day or night quite easily.

I personally didnt find that it had a smell, mind you my sense of smell is terrible. The packaging in my eyes is very easy as its in a nice tall tube and there is no pump so you have complete control of how much product you are wanting to come out.

This is definately a product that I would recommend to a friend and even a stanger! I just find it so good for something of this price!!

Tips: I dont have too many tips to share on this one just because im still having a wee play with different things but what I did pick up was to be a careful when applying it with a flat top kabuki brush just because I found that this product can streak easily if you are not paying attention. I also found that this works perfectly with the Australis fresh and flawless powder, I will always apply powder after foundation even if it suggests not to. So if you are in need for a good pair grab this powder while your getting this BB cream and Im sure you wont regret it :)

I really hope this has been somewhat helpful to you all, tried my hardest despite the form that Im in ;P x

BB cream for oily skin

Love this!!!! I went for the medium color and this wa perfect for me. I apply with a brush - it goes on smoothly and doesnt need much blending, the texture is a little thicker than other bb creams I have used. This meant it covered more! I was able to wear this as my daily foundation by its self! It covered all my imperfections and looked natural. It also didnt feel heavy and seemed to give my skin a smooth look. It would stay put and lasted the whole day! My skin feels healthy and I believe it is a little less oily! I haven't noticed anything different about my pore size but perhaps thats too early for it. I cannot find anything unpleasant about this experience! Once this tube is used up I am going to buy me some more!!

Tips: A little goes a long way so start off with a small amount and build on that as you need to.

Light & smooth

I really liked this BB cream. My skin can get quite oily so the oil free option was great for me. It was very light on my skin & coverage was great with only using a small amount. I used a make up sponge to apply & the cream gave my skin a smooth, matte look. I didn't notice any fragrance to the cream which is good as i personally don't like fragranced makeup. The packaging of this product was slimline & pleasing to look at. It was a decent sized tube with a fine nozzle making it easy to use. I only needed a small amount for each application so the tube would last me at least a couple of months! It lasted all day when used on it's own & i found my foundation lasted longer when i used the BB cream as a base. Overall i really liked this product & would definitely recommend it & use it again.

Tips: Use a sponge for great coverage & definitely use under foundation for an all day look.

not a new bb cream user

I've used a few japanese bb creams in the past so I was excited to try Garnier's take on them!

I found the texture interesting, more like a liquid foundation rather than a cream, a little goes a long way. I found I often had a lot more than i needed as it was hard to just get a little bit out of the tube.

All in all it provided great oil coverage, I will be excited to see how it works over 4 weeks, I will probably buy again as it's a great all rounder.

The colour match was perfect for my fair skin, and made a great base for bronzer and blush ^^ gave my skin a glow and didn't get flakey or dry during the day. Managed to hide my thin skin and lasted well.

Tips: apply with a foundation brush, only using a little and adding more if needed.

Super Pleasing Experience

I love this product. My skin is combination - the classic T zone - but also quite mature and with a few redish patches so I have a challenge managing the shine and pigmentation without losing the glow. This BB cream goes a long way to addressing my issues. I found the tube with the fine tip made it easy to apply the right amount. The consistency was more watery than I expected, but it still provided a great cover and went on easily. I just squirted a very small amount (about half a pea-size) into the palm of my hand, and used my fingers to apply. Fragrance free. I used the product both as a foundation on its own with powder finish and as a primer before my regular foundation. Used on its own, the shine was kept under control for a good 4 hours. I then blotted and put on some more powder and was good for the rest of the day. Used as a primer, the finish was even better (but a more formal make up look) and lasted longer. I haven't used the product long enough to know if it has long term benefits, but as a day to day pore-refiner and cover, this is easily the best product I have used. I don't know how much it costs as I was lucky enough to be chosen for the trial, but as this product is availabe in supermarkets, I'm betting it is much more reasonably priced than my more expensive beauty counter product. I'll be using this BB cream from now on.

Tips: Just use a tiny amount. A second "spot" application over a couple of red patches covered them completely without looking caked on. Great as a primer under your regular foundation for a more formal makeup.

Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector BB Cream

Firstly a confession ... I chose the Medium colour when I probably should have chosen Light. So the colour was a little bit wrong (orange) on me, but I persisted anyway. It went on easily, although it was a little more runny than I'd expected. It didn't really smell of anything, which was nice. It stayed well on my face during the day, and covered most blemishes and dark areas. I will definitely keep on using it, although I might buy the Light shade for the future.

Tips: Be careful the first time you use it, it's a bit runny.

Garnier BB Cream

I loved this. My skin is usually dry on my forehead, but I always have spots and oily parts on my chin, but the cream covered this up without looking caked on and heavy. It also lasted and still looked good at the end of my long days working in a busy cafe as well, which not much makeup survives, so I was really impressed. The cream is quite runny, it did come out of the tube very fast. But it was easy to apply and didn't require much fussing around with blending. It gave a nice matte finish, and evened out my many freckles. I will definately continue to use this product. I got so many compliments on my skin during this trial period!

Tips: If your skin is a little bit dry in places, I mixed the BB cream with a little moisturiser. I still got a good coverage, but no scaly patches

Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector BB Cream

I've been trying this BB cream out for the past week and I have to say I am a big fan. The BB cream is a thin consistency and gives a natural, healthy glow to the face. It covers up red patches but still looks very natural. I like how the product is very sheer on the face and does not look at all cakey. Overall this is a great everyday BB cream for anyone who does not want to wear too much make up!

Tips: Put a powder on top of the BB cream and you'll be good to wear this all day without foundation as it provides plenty of coverage!
