Garnier Skin Perfector BB Cream Oil-Free Review

I had really bad luck with this product, it was really thick and caused a bad breakout on my forehead. The bottle is 3/4 full and i'm too scared to try it again! The time i did wear it, however, it did provide a nice coverage but left me feeling shiny!

I'm a huge fan of BB Creams, i've been using the maybelline dream pure one since it came out and it's been hard to top that.

I was sent trials for both the Garnier Oil-Free and Garnier Sensitive, and I definitely prefer the Sensitive.

I thought that the oil-free would be perfect for me as i have oily blackhead-prone skin, but instead i found that this product just clogged up my pores, and made my blackheads more noticeable. Yuck. As for the tube, it's not the most user-friendly. It's got a little nozzle which doesn't really close, so even with the lid on the lid ends up filling up with product... Such a waste and such a mess to deal with.

I suppose one definite upside of this is the fact that it's light, and it definitely zaps the shine off my face. Which is perfect, but that combined with clogged pores? Not something I want all the time.

Perfect for if I intended to go out on the town, at least my face will stay shine-free, and everyone will be too drunk to notice my clogged pores.

I have oily acne-prone skin and was asked to review this product by BR and was excited to see how well it would cover my skin (I got the light shade).

Texture: really runny and felt oily to apply. As soon as I opened the tube the bb cream came running out which was a bit of a turn off. The first time I used this I applied the product straight onto my skin without a moisturizer using my fingers to apply and blend, and it went on easier using my fingers because of being so runny and seemed to blend alright. I was in a bit of a rush so didn't apply powder or anything over top and went for a run afterwards and it lasted surprisingly well. There was no wear or shine, however my skin looked blotchy and felt oily.

The other days used I applied with a foundation brush and used a oil free moisturizer underneath. It claims to give an even tone but my skin again looked blotchy, dark and just felt really oily! My skin became more oily using this bb cream than any other and I was disappointed with the coverage, I was no where near to having a good complexion and just looked and felt awful on my skin.

By comparing the two different ways I used this, there wasn't really any noticeable difference but because for me the product feeling oily, I prefer to use a really good moisturizer to soak up all that extra oil.

You can't really use this product by itself because it doesn't provide much coverage but I definitely wouldn't use this again anyway or recommend to others, I'd much rather spend my spare money on a bb cream that works for my oily skin. It would be great to say something nice about this bb cream but I just can't.

This BB has me stuck on the fence with not a lot to love about it. I've tried Garnier BB's before and found the colour is always wrong, and unfortunately I had that with this one too, after a year of not using this brand I thought they might have sorted this out. It was far too dark in colour to be a light, so will be sticking to my korean BB for now, and get this one back out in the summer once I some colour on my skin. The formula was very runny so I found that when you squeezed it out of the tube a lot came out and when that colour is wrong having too much product doesn't help. I did really like the thin tube it came in tho it was handy to store, not taking up much room. I did however like how the formula went on with my beauty blender sponge, it went on really smooth and looked really nice.

I recently bought this BB cream as everyone were talking about BB creams and this happened to be one of the cheaper options as I was on a budget.

The tall skinny bottle didn't convince me, thinking I was going to go through the whole thing in a week.

3 months on and I still have a bit left - but thats because I stopped using it.

My method was to squirt some on the back of my hand, dab a sponge pad in it and apply. At first I was just covering my face - this didn't do anything. It evened out my tone but didn't cover any problem areas. I then tried to dab it on my face and on the problem areas. I always brushed a pressed powder over top so it wasn't shiny.

I'd brush my chin with my hand accidentally and bam! That entire section was now on the back of my hand and nothing on my face. This came off so easily and my face was shiny, oil-ey and no coverage of my face by about 11am.

I would NOT recommend this product to my friends if they are using it to actually cover their face from spots etc which is generally what I use foundation for!

This didn't even work well for me as a concealer as it just wore off in the space of 3 hours.

I found this BB cream very light, lighter than other BB creams I have used. I also found that it didn't spread on to my face all that well and looked a bit orange. It has a matte finish, which I liked, but that's about all I liked.

I wouldn't recommend this BB cream. There are many others on the market that do a better job

would not buy this product again. First of all this is more like a tinted moisturiser NOT a BBcream. it has little or no coverage at all. And did not even out my skin tone. IT actually made it worse. I was really disappointed with this so much so that I wont continue using it

Was so excited to use this product but was quicker let down by it. I have oily skin so i thought this product would suit me well. Was a bit skeptical about they colour range but it seemed to somewhat match my skin tone. It went on smoothly and had great coverage. It started off with a matte finish but after about an hour or so my face lookedd like a massive grease ball. Was not impressed. The second time using it I decided to try it with a powder ontop. It worked but was still a bit greasy. I would not repurchase this item it didnt work for me at all. Disappointed :(

Matches my skin colour perfectly. Love the texture and the coverage. However, despite being oil free, it still causes my skin to breakout if I use it regularly. Not the type of blemish I normally get either, instead they are ones that sit below the skin. As other reviewers have said, within hours skin looks shiny!

I was really looking forward to this product. Unfortunately light was too pale for me and dark, well it was too dark! It felt heavy and oily on my skin and I really just didn't like the feeling of it. I was expecting minimal and weightless. Big disappointment.
