Garnier Skin Perfector BB Cream Oil-Free Review

This BB cream is great and really did live up to the hype. I have used this in replacement of foundation and was great for work. I felt the product itself was quite runny, but when on the skin, it spreaded out well. I have a lot of redness in my cheeks and use a double layer of the BB cream and it completely concealed it. When used alone, it lasts well into the day, however did tend to wear off a wee bit on the nose. When used with a primer it lasted all day. I also tried it as a base under a full face of foundation for a night out and it definitely created a smooth finish and stood the test of time. The cream leaves your skin feeling soft and smoother and from using it for two weeks, I've already noticed it does help the appearance of pores. It is a big sized tube and even though I have been using 2 layers of the cream each day, a little goes a long way. It's awesome how buildable it is, without feeling heavy or cakey on my face- sometimes I forget I am wearing it. My only negative would be that in some light I felt the medium shade did look a little orangey. I love this product, will continue to use it and confidently recommended it to others.

My skin type is oily/combination but I think this particular product is too oil free for my complexion. It dried it out and didn't sit in the pores too well.

I am approaching fifty and probably needed the anti-aging version but I don't have many wrinkles around my eyes so applied for the Oil Free product as it seemed more appropriate, my mistake.

On saying that I liked a lot about this product.

It's consistency, which is fluid, is like a mixture between a foundation and moisturiser. This made the application relatively easy, but I needed two layers for it to give complete coverage.

The fragrance wasn't obnoxious thankfully. It lasted fairly well too, for most of the day without needing reapplication.

I have recommended this product to a friend with dry skin issues but suggested she try the one specifically for her skin type.

All in all good value for money and the cardboard packaging is minimal which is a plus point.

I would definitely be open to buying the anti aging product in the line, it would be more appropriate in general for my skin type.

I have combination skin, it's oily in the T-zone, and dry around the edges. This makes for a difficult foundation choice. So I always appreciate when companies come out with a 'combination skin' version. I used Garnier BB Cream Miracle Skin Perfector - Combination to Oily Skin in Light/Clair. I found this BB Cream to be quite good actually. It's thick enough to provide good coverage, but still light enough to feel like you don't have much on. I find the colour blends in well to my skin tone, and I don't get the obvious line between my face and my neck. I do feel that this BB Cream is a bit on the dry side (being oil free), this may be better for ladies with slightly more oily skin than myself. I use quite a thick moisturiser prior to applying the BB Cream to combat this. Overall, this BB Cream is pretty good. It stays on most of the day (may need to reapply if going out at night), and feels light yet provides good coverage. For the price (I think it retails for about $18-20 in the supermarket), it's a really good option for a BB Cream. I would definitely recommend this to friends, who were after a nice light option for foundation!

I have combo skin type, however during the change of seasons I do get really dry (especially going into colder weather). But during the times when my skin is combo, my T-zone gets rather shiny. When I first opened this up to try it, I was not expecting something SO runny! Which of course lead to getting too much product out! although it’s really runny, it is really easy to apply. I definitely love how it doesn’t have a fragrance! When applying this, I found that the coverage isn’t that great. So naturally, I applied again. For me personally, the coverage is buildable, but only to a medium coverage at most. What I did most of the days was to use a powder over it and with the powder, it did last me a good 5-6 hours. However, without the powder, I found that I stayed on maybe a maximum for 3 hours. Price, wise, it retails for about $17 if I remember correctly. I think it is definitely worth the price for what it claims to do. However, compared to other products, there are definitely other bb cream that does a better job. Having done design and graphics, I’m not a fan of the packaging. The fact that the product is extremely runny, I don’t think a tube is the best idea. However, aesthetically, I think its average. It’s the standard Garnier colours and logos. After testing this product for a week, I have noticed that it does control shine on my T-zone, for the majority of the day. The finish of this is matte. They claimed that it reduces pores, however I can’t say much about that as I naturally don’t have large pores. They also say that it corrects blemishes, this definitely did not happen for my. But it did even out my complexion, and my skin did feel hydrated. After trying this, I would definitely recommend this product to a friend who has the same skin type as me! 

The BB cream has a really good consistency for applying quickly and easily. I found that applying it a second time about 30 minutes after the first layer it stay on for much longer and I did not need to retouch it at all. it stayed on well while i was at work and under a great deal of heat from a busy restaurant kitchen. I have combination skin so I have problems with dry patches but this product seemed to have minimized those problem areas of my skin.

Found it quite hard to remove the access cream from my hands which was slightly odd.

I have tried a few different BB Creams and this one has to be my favourite! I have oily skin with the odd bit of acne so am pleased to have found a product that suits my skin.

The consistency is a little runny, which helps the product go on smoothly. It is quick and easy to apply - no need for anything fancy, just use your fingers. It isn't overly fragrant, which I liked.

The cream provides good, long lasting coverage. It helped my skin glow and helped make my pores look smaller. I have had lots of comments on how great I look. The finish was matte at first, however, I found after a couple of hours my skin was quite shiny. My solution to this was to apply a bit of powder afterwards to help set it and absorb any oil. This helped my skin look nice for alot longer.

With the exception of a bit of shininess later in the day, I do think the product does what it says it will do. After a week of using it my skin is already starting to look a lot smoother and clearer.

Overall I love this product! It is definitely good value for money and I will be buying it again!

I am a huge foundation user because I have oily skin and acne/acne scars however this bb cream exceeded all expectations...no more foundation for me! And my foundation normally cost upwards of $70 ! This BB cream is way more cost effective! My husband said it looks very natural and polished. I do use a mineralized powder on top for light coverage and to set the cream. The only con is I can't tell if it makes my skin a little oily at the end of the day or if it's just dewy and I'm not used to that because I'm used to heavy face powder to counteract the oily skin.

I'm not usually one for tint in my moisturiser and was pleasantly surprised by the effect of this one. It wasn't too make-uppy and still felt like I had moisturised without the oil factory kicking in. I like the fact the spf is built in too. Seemed to wear well through the day too
