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.

Miracle Skin Perfector

I was excited to try this product and used it as soon as it arrived! I love the fact that it goes on easily and you can apply it with your fingers or a blender, it feels quite light on the skin. It does tend to come out of the tube very quickly and makes a bit of a mess in the lid, this maybe because it is quite a runny product. I used it on its on with two applications and it lasted all day at work, I found the medium color to be a perfect match to my skin tone and love the matte finish. I would recommend this to people that are looking for a light coverage but still one that covers imperfections

Converted!

I tried Garniers BB cream last year and was not impressed my face felt greasy and heavy.Now having tried the product again in the oil free version I understand why everybody seems to love it. It is perfect for everyday wear because it is light and easy to apply.You receive the coverage without that caking feeling of foundation and leaves the skin feeling soft and healthy.Its a cheap alternative and will last a long time if used sparingly (still have mine from last year).It is make-up for the non make-up wearer.

Tips: A small amount goes a long way,treat it like moisturizer otherwise too much will leave your skin feeling greasy instead of soft and smooth. Don't expect full coverage but is perfect for redness and leaving the skin looking more lively.

Better than other brand..

I've read and searched for a good BB cream and I was using the L’Oreal Youth before using this one because of some bad reviews I've been reading about it but I was really happy to test this product! For me, Garnier was so much better!! It's a bit runny but it covers well after applied. Tube size and dimensions are good (don’t get to much space against the L’Oreal one), but for what I've seen, I wasn't the only one having problems with its runny top if you open it upside down - messy!!! - it can spill really easily. I used a sponge to apply it during the last week (used it every day and the results are only getting better) and a 2.5cm stripe on the sponge it is enough to cover everything. My color was medium and it was just right for my skin, not making it look fake. The smell it's not sweet or unpleasant, but it's not the best - it's like and average unbranded foundation you would buy.

Having the SPF 15 makes it helpful because you don’t have to worry about adding sunscreen under the BB and make it weight more. It didn’t clog my pores, moisturized it and gave the matte finish it promised. Although I only put it in the morning, it lasts for good 5-7 hours if I’m not under stress.

For an average of $15 to $20, I would totally buy it again.

Tips: Using the sponge was better than my fingers. I think the matte finish last longer.

Budget but good quality BB Cream

This is my first time to try out a BB cream (#bbnoob) but this one has given me a good experience. Moisturizes? Check. Sun protection? Mhm. No tacky/oily feel? Definitely. Easy application? Yes!

If you're after a long wearing liquid foundation though you might need to mix this with a proper foundation, and since they only have two shades I tend to mix it with my shade for the Clinique Antiblemish Foundation.

But overall, texture, coverage, and application ease wise, this one is a keeper for an everyday makeup base :)

Tips: If you want to downplay the 'sheen', try patting an oil absorbing powder on top. This gives double-action oil control for those days when you think it's going to be a bit warmer outside (which in turn can make you a bit more sweaty/oily)

absolutely wonderful

i have combination skin and have an oily tzone. tried this product alone and i absolutely love it! it gets absorbed very quickly and leave an even matte finish but doesnt look cakey even with repeated application.. the only thing i didnt like was that it doesnt last long and i find i have to reapply the product especially on my nose several times in a day.. but its good in covering up a bit pf redness and imperfections.

Tips: for ladies who has combination skin...with an oily tzone like me...i recommend using this product on your tzone.. currently using it with another garnier bb cream (sensitive skin)...for a matte finish on my tzone i use this product and for a more dewy effect on my cheek bones and below my eyebrow i use garnier bbcream for sensitive skin..it works well together and does its work where you need it most..(garnier bbcream for oily skin mattifies oily surfaces while garnier bb cream for sensitive skin provides a dewy finish providing a bit of shine you wouldnt need to use a highlighter).

Garnier skin perfector BB cream

Nice moist foundation which gave a satisfying matte coverage assisting in hiding any imperfections, smooth and silky feel to put on was a lasting foundation that gave an even finish. Lasted for the day also good for my sensitive skin which showed no reaction to this foundation. Would recommend this to my friends and any one wanting a natural looking coverage.

Great coverage

I actually liked this product more then I thought I would, which is always a nice surprise! First of all, I quite liked the packaging. Nice and small so it's easy to pop into your handbag and I liked the champagne colour of the tube. The BB cream itself was more runny than I'm used too with my normal BB cream, but when I applied the cream to my face it didn't feel overly runny and it gave really nice coverage. I have quite a bit of redness and like to have something on top of my skin that will actually give me the coverage I need and this product did that. I have oily skin so I still needed to use my powder on top so it would last. I would use this BB cream again. It wasn't overly perfumed and really easy to apply.

Tips: Pop it into your handbag when out for the day, super easy to re-apply if you need it!

Very Impressed

I was pleasantly surprised by this Garnier BB cream! I thought that it wouldn't provide very good coverage given that it is a BB cream, but it provided me with a very nice matte finish- just like it said it would. I don't think it reduced imperfections to the same extent as my Clinique foundation, but I expected that, and otherwise it was a very good product! I definitely noticed that it didn't make my skin oily, and I actually got a few comments (by people who didn't realise I was trialling the product) about how good my skin looked! The SPF 15 is a definite bonus, and although I have quite fair skin and the BB cream only comes in two shades, it matched my skintone perfectly. I will definitely continue to use this cream!

amazing product!

I was rather septicle being a "mac" user trialing a "supermarket brand" however I am beyond pleasently surprised! Firstly my worry was colour - I am quite fair so tend to like a bit of colour from my foundation.. without looking like I rolled in doritos so not being able to try the colour first would put me off. "Light" was perfect though. Secondly I tend to like a suey finish overy matte but this isn't too matte and doesn't leave a powering look that I thought it could. Acne/ scar coverage wasn't great and I still needed to use a concealer. Reduces pores and imperfections - I think it would take a month to notice difference. I normally find foundations with spf to feel thick on my face but this didn't leave any heaviness at all. Over all I loved it and would use again!

Tips: Ideally use a blending brush to apply rather then fingers!

Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector BB Cream

My skin in normal to oily and I tend to use high coverage foundations like double wear as have rosé checks. I tend to us a BB cream on a Sunday or a day I don’t have a lot going on. I have used 1 other BB cream, which I did like but didn’t give enough coverage. The consistency of the Garnier BB cream coming out of the bottle was watery and would always come running out when I would open the bottle which was a down fall as the cap would get messy. It was so easy to apply I would either rub it In with my hands if I was I a rush but if you do make sure you give it a good rub in as It can be show lines if you don’t. I would also use my foundation stipple brush, which gave such a nice finish. I didn’t really notice a fragrance, which is good as I cant stand things that smell that I put on my face. Coverage is sheer to medium again if you do put a bit on it does build obviously not to a foundation coverage but I was pleased with the coverage it is just as I would expect for a BB cream. The product lasted all day but I was wearing it on my ‘no make up day haha’ so didn’t notice too much about the longevity. The packaging is nice but I really didn’t like to bottle as I said every time I opened it the product would come squirting out so a pump would have been better. The results where a good I really did enjoy getting up In the morning applying this in less than 30 seconds put on mascara and lip balm on and I was ready for the day. I had no problem with the coverage and overall I think it is a good product and does what it says it does I would consider re purchasing.

Tips: I personally love using a BB cream under a foundation! Give it ago it gives a great dewy look to your foundation :)
