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.

BB cream oil free

I tried this product both with and without a concealer an it actually had a very good even coverage which is awesome. It was so easy to apply and is an extremely light foundation, compared to the normal bb cream an others I have tried. The foundation actually stayed on all day only slightly coming off in the evening like the normal bb cream. You will definitely need to use a concealer under it to correct blemishes like with most foundations out there. I would have to disagree with the fact they say it covers imperfections as it does cover any slight redness however not much else. I found blemishes to be very visible without the use of concealer under this BB cream.I would happily use it again and I will definitely recommend it to friends.

BB cream Oil free SPF 15

I liked this product. It had a nice cover on it. I would use it again, as I felt that I didn't have to use any concearler. Usually when I use new make up my skin breaks out, i didn't have this with this product. As I've only used it for a week, I haven't noticed too much of the difference in skin. My skin has been very good prior to using this. I felt that it has a good cover, I could of probably gone a shade lighter.I also had to use a powder over as I perfer of a more Matt finish and found that this product had too much of a shine, it could be due to the colour not being the correct colour for me. Regarding the below:

Skin Type - My skin is very good at moment due to using artifry product. I have a few blemishes Consistency - I found the consistency really good, little watery but no need to use much thought. Application - I found it really easy to apply, as it is just like a moisture. Fragrance - I didn't notice a smell, which is good I guess, as most make up with smells, tend to have unnessary stuff in it, which I think can cause break outs for me. Coverage - I found it a full coverage, but with a shine finish, this could be due the colour not being a good colour for me. Longevity - Lasts all day, I did use primer and put powder on top, as I felt like it needed it. If the colour was right for me, I think it would look perfect with a bit of lippy and mascura for a casual day look. Price - I couldn't find the price for this product. I think that about 15 to 20 would be a good price. Reasonable. Packaging - the packaging works I would suggest something at the top so it comes out slower as it is quite watery and goes out fast. Results - I like it, and will continue to use it. As far as results, it's too soon to tell, I think it covers well, my spotss I did have have disappeared. Would you recommend it - Yes I would recommend it, I have already recommend it to my friend.

Tips: I used a primer and a Natural powder over top to give more of a Matt finish, It would be good to wear naturally and a bit of mascar and lippy, if the colour suited.

Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector BB Cream Oil Free

I enjoyed using this product, it was lightweight and easy to apply..a perfect base for make up as once applied to the face, make up appeared to be hold better and gave a smooth appearance which lasted many hours. My skin is very oily even though I am over 50 and this product has certainly helped this problem. Only negative was it was rather runny and possibly a little too light in colour for even my fair skin. I will continue to use daily though!

Tips: Don't use too much...dries very quickly.

Good BB cream

This product has a watery texture, although it offers a surprising amount of coverage, I'd say light to medium, and it is buildable - i applied an extra layer to my undereyes and acne scarring and didn't look cakey. I have acne prone combo skin (very oily in the tzone with occasional dry patches). It didn't emphasize my dry patches and lasted well when I wore it alone. I wouldn't use or recommend this as a primer/base for foundation as it made my foundation melt off my face before 4 hours wear which doesn't tend to happen with a good primer.

The packaging is fine, although I find the product just spills out, even if you don't squeeze it, so I can see it being a bit messy, but not so seriously that I wouldnt use it again.

This has great coverage and is lightweight (it seriously feels like you are not wearing anything) but unfortunately this made me break out with a bit of really sore acne, so this isnt a product I would be wearing every day but on the odd occasion as I do like the other results.

I absolutely recommend this product to anyone who isn't prone to breakouts as it is a great everyday product. I've already recommended this to my friend who uses the other garnier bb cream.

Tips: Better to be worn alone and not as a base/primer for makeup. Start by applying a light layer over the whole face (the coverage will surprise you) and then add extra layers to problem areas.

Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector BB Cream Oil-free S

I have really, really oily skin, and this is the best BB cream for it that I've tried so far. I'm pale but not super pale and it suits me quite well.

It has quite a thin consistency, so it makes it quite hard to control how much product comes out. However, it applies and blends really well on the skin. It's quite sheer to start off with, but is easily build-able. It covers my imperfections, but is still sheer enough that you can still see my freckles (which I like).

I apply it with a mattifying primer and the powder before foundation method, and that combination seems to control any oiliness quite well. Normally, no matter what I do or what products I use, I end up looking like a giant oil slick, so this is quite refreshing!

It does wear off quite a lot by the end of the day, but that could be because I don't use very much.

Tips: Try it with the powder before foundation trick, because the thin consistency works quite well with this trick

My Favourite BB Cream!

This stuff is amazing, I have tried about 6 or 7 other BB creams but I've found the keeper!

This BB cream is thinner in consistency than most BB creams but provides a nice level of coverage when applied with a brush, sponge or even your fingers. I also find a little bit goes a long way.

I have oily skin and the formula caters to that well, keeping the dewyness at bay until the evening. It has a pleasant fragrance that doesn't linger and holds well throughout the day even in warm weather.

I don't have sensitive skin but am prone to breakouts but find that this does not affect me! This may be to do with the oil-free formula.

The coverage is very good considering the consistency, it evens out my red patches and does a good job of shielding blemishes even before concealer.

The packaging is much more streamlined than the other Garnier BB creams, and i find the long thin bottle much more appealing as it fits more easily into my makeup bag.

With regards to price you can't really go wrong. I try to pick mine up when it's on special but find the RRP to be manageable, especially considering how much I like the product.

Overall I love this product, I think it's good value for money and great at doing what it says it does! It's easy to apply and long wearing. I would definitely recommend this to others who have been trialling other BB creams and are yet to find one for them.

Tips: I use a small amount of primer to help smooth out by base before applying, I find starting with a light base is fine for evening out tone and only building up in areas where you need a bit of extra coverage.

Flawless skin

I trialled the shade in 'light'. The consistency is very liquidy, I was expecting more of a cream. However the finish is flawless, slightly dewy not matte like the description states, but very natural with a velvet soft finish. Covers all my red discoloration , evens out skin tone. I have used this instead of foundation by building up to two layers, and I found a huge reduction in breakouts in my problem areas (chin and temples). There is a slightly alcoholic scent to it, but fades very quickly. I will definitely repurchase this product.

Tips: Squeeze the tube gently! This product is liquid, so comes out very fast. I learnt from experience when first opening it and it went everywhere.

Great results

I've tried quite a few bb creams and have had mixed results-one that didn't absorb properly, one that wasvery shiny and a few that the colour looked bad. I did expect to find a bb cream that would deal with all these issues but this one does. It absorbed quickly, was matte and the colour suited me perfectly. I love that it looks so natural yet covers imperfections so well. I found you don't have to use much so will last me a while and I didn't need to touch it up during the day.

Tips: For my skin I found it smoothed on better when I moisturized first.

bb cream :)

I really liked how it made my skin stay matte through out the day. i found when i first put it on i didn't even need to set it with a powder either which was great! the colour (light) was perfect for me apart from it oxidised a lot through out the day and went quite dark and orange. The formula is really lightweight and depending on how much you apply, when i put it on it looked and felt like skin so it was very natural. I would say it has light to medium coverage. It covered up my uneven skin tone but I could still see my scaring and imperfections underneath but that is expected from a bb cream to give a natural look. It doesn't make me break out but because I have eczema on my face it dried that out a bit more than usual. overall a great bb cream for the price. My biggest and main downfall for it though was the fact that it went darker and orange as the day went on which was very frustrating but I personally use it as a base/primer under foundation and it works really well :)

Tips: apply with fingers, this can be used as a primer/base before foundation to give extra coverage and help prevent shine throughout the day.

Garnier Miracle BB Cream Oil Free

I loved this BB cream, it was perfect for me as I have an oily skin. It gave a very matt result which I loved. The texture and consistency was ideal, the only thing was that I received the medium and found that it was too dark for my skin tone. So if i am to buy it again I would switch to the light. All in all I highly recommend this product.
