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.

not for me

i have oily-comb skin that is also very sensitive when it comes to trying out new products. This bb cream was light and thin which made it easy to blend into my skin. the coverage was awesome and i only needed a small amount of concealer on top. i have used bb cream before and found i didn't give me enough coverage so i would just use it as a base under my foundation so i really liked the fact i did not have to do that with this bb cream. my skin felt like i didn't have any make up on and it could breath, however i found the colour (medium) made my face look orange which i had to be careful of as my room where i apply my make up is quite dark and i couldn't tell it was orange until i stepped out into the light. i found that this bb cream did not last on my skin, i would apply this in the morning and noticed through out the day my skin got extremly oily (more than usual) and if i touched my face the cream would come straight off onto my fingers. after a couple of days of using this product i noticed my skin breaking out alot more than usual, by the end of the week i had more break outs than i would get in a month. i stopped using this as i have my ball in a week and want my skin looking good for then, my break outs stopped as soon as i stopped using this cream.

i loved the consistency and coverage of this bb cream. i didn't like that it didn't help with the oiliness but i was very impressed with everything else, however i don't think this bb cream is for me as my skin is too sensitive to the product. i will continue using this after my ball and see if it was actually the product breaking me out. i do recommend this product and it is so affordable.

Tips: be careful when squeezing out as it comes out very fast

Garnier Miracle Skin Profector - Oil free

Very fluid and easy to apply, spread easily and evenly, good appearance. Shine was well controlled and my larger pores covered nicely. I have redness on areas of my face and the cream covered these well. I have sensitive skin and many products leave my skin feeling a little itchy at least for a few application but I had no such problems with this product. It is also nice to know it has UV protection, I would recommend Miracle Skin Protector..

Tips: Try to keep product upright when storing and open and squeeze carefully as the liquid comes out easily and can get a bit messy.

Garnier BB Cream-Not as oil free as they think!

I've worn the BB cream to work, the gym, and going out and it's stayed on all day through all of it! It smells nice, provides great coverage and lasts the whole day so it almost does exactly what it says it'll do. Maybe I just have the oiliest skin on the planet, but didn't seem to do anything for that side of things.That being said, I think I'll buy it again. It's a pretty good price, and works well for me!

Tips: Seems to come out of the tube fast, be careful!

Didn't do for me what it said it would

As I have never used a BB cream before I was quite excited to give this a go especially because it says that it is a skin perfector for oily and combination skin. When I first opened the product I did like the packaging, I thought the squeezable tube would make it easy to get the right amount needed however when I opened it I found the product to be quite runny (I wasn't expecting that) and it ran straight out so my first impression wasn't the greatest. I wasn't 100% sure how I was meant to apply it so I tried a range of ways over the trial including using my fingers, makeup sponge, foundation brush ect, on its own, over moisturiser, under powder ect. I didn't like the smell but did notice that once it was completely applied and settled the scent was no longer noticeable, When I used this product on its own I found that it did not last long throughout the day, and by lunch time my skin (especially forehead) was shiny and felt more oilier than usual. Throughout my trial the best way for me to use this product is after exfoliating my face, applying the bb cream and then mineral powder I do get a really nice natural finish that covers red spots nicely and looks pretty good. It does not last as long as I would like it to so for this reason I will not be purchasing it for myself. However because I now have the product I will continue to experiment with it and see if I do find a way for it to work for me. I don't see this product as being the "Miracle Skin Perfector" for oily and combination skin because it does not "fulfil all of my skins needs" and overall was quite disappointed in this BB Cream after hearing all the hype over bb creams.

Tips: Definitely put the cap back on when applying this product or it will leak when laying flat and try dotting it over your face for an easier application. Also finish with a mineral powder for a natural look which will also allow the bb cream to last a bit longer.

Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector BB Cream Oil Free

This BB cream was very easy to use, I just applied with my fingers and didn't have to do too much blending or anything as the light colour was a good match for me. It has good coverage and lasted all day quite well. I didn't get any oily or clogged feeling like I do with some thicker creams and it's a bonus that it is SPF 15. I usually use the Maybelline Pure BB Cream but would seriously consider switching to this one.

Tips: A little goes a long way as it is a bit runny.

Skin Perfector BB Cream

I really like this product as I do suffer from oiliness around the T-Zone. I dont like to wear foundation so this is fantastic as it lets your skin breathe while giving you a nice glow with SPF and amazing minerals that correct the oiliness too. I think it is fantastic. I feel really good wearing the BB cream knowing it is doing so much. I will keep using this product and it will be interesting to see if it delivers what it says it does with reduced size of pores and reduction of imperfections. But I need more time for that. Highly recommend this product.

Tips: U dont need to use much. Just dab on cheeks, forehead, nose, chin, neck and blend in well.

Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector BB Cream Oil-Free

I have quite oily skin, sometimes I get a few breakouts and natural red cheeks which can make it hard to find a BB Cream that fits me. I found the consistency to look quite runny but felt light on the skin. I found it easy to apply regardless of technique first I tried it with fingers and it applied nice but sheer and was easy to build to an almost medium coverage. With a brush it was very easy to build up for me and found I had a nice medium-full coverage with a very natural finish. More matte than dewy. With or without primer it seemed to give nice finishes and application was fine. I found it did last the day on my skin but could easily transfer onto things if in contact with the face. I like the packaging it came in but wish it had a pump instead of just a squeeze tube as I found it a bit messy and as It is a very runny consistency it is easy to end up with too much product. There is a smell which I can't pin point but once its on I didn't really notice it. As far as long term effects of less oliy skin and smaller pores and less imperfections I don't think I have used it long enough and am quite happy with basic results such as looking natural, feeling light, nice coverage and not looking oily. The price is very good and well worth it. So yes, I would recommend it to my friends.

Tips: For more coverage I used a synthetic flat top brush and buffed into the skin. Try use a palette of some type to avoid messy hands. I would use a primer for application with fingers makes the process super easy.

Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector BB Cream

I love this product It covered my imperfections very well, my skin felt moisturised. It was light on my skin and very easy to apply. You don't need to use very much at all. I have not really noticed changes to my skin yet like the results claim. As I have only used it for a week. Will continue to trail it for the full four weeks and see.

Very dark - orange

This BB cream is easy to use as it has a good consistency and covers imperfections to even out skin. It is lightweight and feels good on the skin. But HELLO orange face! So even though I like the product it is unwearable (in medium) for me. Before purchasing yourself I would suggest testing your skin colour with this BB cream. Powder made no difference to the tone. And adding moisturiser defeats the purpose in a BB cream.

Tips: Try before you buy!

Garnier BB Cream Oil Free - Light

I really liked this product. Went on like a dream, good consistency and covered up minor imperfections. Very lightweight felt great on the face and i think i'll be purchasing it for myself.

Tips: The color was perhaps a tad dark, so i lightened it up with some powder.
