Garnier Skin Perfector BB Cream Oil-Free Review

Upon offering of this product, I was skeptical. I have never found a product that does what it says in regards to skin coverage or matches my skin tone. The first time I used the BB Cream, I couldn't stop looking at my skin!! I was having a bad skin breakout at the time, so had red acne and oily skin. It nearly completely covered the redness, and did not make my skin any oilier! My skin has since cleared up and I have loved using this product every day, and have seen a decrease in the oiliness in my skin. It lasts all day with no fading, and looks luminous without adding any further makeup products. It has complimented my skin tone more than any other product I have tried so would definitely use this again!!! I have never been happier with something so simple as the BB Cream. I would highly recommend this product to everyone, it has ticked all the boxes for me, and has delivered on its promises!!!

I was sent the wrong colour but still used it in the days I was at home. I found it to be a bit oily and after two days I had massive breakouts around my nose and mouth. that being said it did have good staying power - no running nor did it wear off quickly - it reduced the redness around my cheeks and it was easy to apply (I used a spare foundation brush). it smells nice not like chemicals or over powering fragrance I would recommend giving it a try but be prepared for potential breakouts

This product does give a masque-like appearance when first applied, but after a few minutes the colour seems to settle in to give a more natural look. I found it did most of what the packet promised – it seemed to shrink my pores, it covered redness, it stopped a shiny nose and gave my skin a smooth texture and even appearance while still looking relatively natural. Blemishes such as spots were minimised but I still had to use a bit of concealer to hide them completely. And it really did last all day long! I had the idea it would act like a tinted moisturiser and perhaps be a little too greasy for my skin but the ingredients act like a clay masque soaking up excess oil – perhaps a little too much so because I had to use moisturiser underneath on my cheeks to counterbalance the drying effect. The price is extremely reasonable for the size of the tube and it does what more expensive creams claim to do. Also liked that I could easily fit the slim tube into my makeup bag.

This product would have been more suited to try and review in summer because of the SPF in the BB cream. However, I do feel like the product gave my skin a healthy glow and was really easy to blend into my skin. I always set my foundation or BB creams with a powder because my face is quite oily. But with this product my face stayed matte for much of the day which I found to be really great.

Overall this product was great and I would recommend it for anyone who suffers with quite oily skin and someone who likes quite a sheer coverage.

Okay, so I had tried the standard Garnier BB Cream two years ago and had been underwhelmed. It was too pink for my warm undertone (I'm NC35-37 in Mac) and made my skin very oily.

Fast forward 2 years and to this review.

I wore the BB cream for one full week, both for work and in the weekends.

I like the updated packaging - lovely and slimline and felt it compared well to say a Mac Studio Sculpt tube. I thought the quantity of product was good too.

For the colour, the options to test were light and medium. I tend towards needing a medium/deep, but because it's winter I thought medium might work for me. It was ever so slightly light, but I was able to work with it using a bronzer to warm the outside of my face. I found that the product had a very slighty shimmer to it which would be lovely in summer months. However, it probably needs to be promoted a bit more as some people don't like having such a dewy look on their face -particularly people who are trying to minimise oiliness. Having said that, I did get comments that my skin was looking quite luminous which was a plus.

I found that I had to use a light powder to set this

The texture is a little runny. In fact it tends to run and make the tube a bit messy. On the face it was very easy to spread and you could definitely layer up so that you had more coverage. I used a few application techniques. It was easy to apply with fingers, although you need a bit more product. A sponge likewise. The best method was with a buffing foundation brush.

Wearability wise it's not as long lasting as a foundation - even if you set it. I'd say 5 hours tops which is pretty standard for a bb cream. However, it seems to be nice and light so easy to re-apply and still have a natural finish.

Overall, it was a really nice product. I would use again although I think that I would be a darker shade if available - to offset the shimmer in it.

I thought this product was fantastic my skin was feeling dry before i used it and within the next few days it moisturiesd my face and made it feel great it also gave my good coverage from my pimples which was a bonus . It smell great on also . And it have a nice texture to work with . The only thing that let it down the littlest bit was that after 4-5 hours it fades in spots of your face . But still love it :)

First things first, the package (Box) nothing really stood out about it, if I saw it in a shop it would stand out with other products, as I think the colour's on the box are not bright enough. Also the words should be in bold, and logo brighter. The product it's self, I found the smell was really strong, smelt like a purfume. When I put it on I thought it would be easy to spreed around my face, yet I felt like it dried as I moved it around. The colour was lovely, however I found you would have to put alot on to get a good coverage, and in doing that the colour tends to go to dark and loses the effect of a even skin tone. My skin didnt react at all which was good, and I did notice my face was not as (oil shiny) as it often is which was also a bonus. I wouldnt use this again however I would recommend others to try it as its not a bad product, just not for me.

I found this really lovely to use. It didn't dry my skin out and it is very light. It covers any marks or blemishes and dark circles. I would use this all the time!

I almost fell of my chair when I heard that this "miracle cream" was promising to replace 5 creams I had cluttering my drawers. Yeah right! - I thought. It's not until I actually tested Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector BB Cream that I found out it actually does target all this crucial areas: 1-It perfects your skin while (2) giving it a matte finish; (3) it moisturises your face and it gives you UV protection (4), all that while making you look tan (5)!. I normally use it over my clean skin after the toner. Since I've started I've been getting compliments from people who say my skin looks fresh and young. yayyy. Even though BB is a sunscreen, it's not heavy, nor does it make your skin look white and dull. I use it for day and night. I'm a fan of its light consistency and it's always a precious bonus to get coverage out of your moisturiser! Thanks Garnier!

This was the first time I have used a BB cream so I wasn't to sure what to expect. After trying this I think I will definitely consider using it again. I have quite oily skin, and so have been using an oil-free foundation. I wasn't too sure how well this would work because of this, and having tried other foundations and getting a very oily look I was a bit skeptical of this. However, it worked like it said it would.

As for the claims it makes, I'd say it lives up to them all, apart from the matte effect but that isn't a big issue for me. It's nice being able to use it to hydrate my skin as well and as a foundation. It goes on very easily, a little goes a long way.

This BB cream works either just by itself for a light coverage, but also under foundation for a bit more coverage. I wore it both ways depending on how much coverage I wanted for the day. The colour worked well for me. Initially when I saw the colour on my hand I thought that it would be way to dark, but once it was applied to my skin it seemed to blend in perfectly.
