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.

Itching to have great face

I hadn't really got on this BB cream band wagon until BR gave me the opportunity. I was using the shade Medium for the Combination to Oily skin, as I have exactly that, Oily to combination skin.

My first impression was the bottle was simple and attractive but slightly awkward, so it pulled me in more to try the BB cream, then as I opened the bottle and gave it a squeeze to see what the product was like and it was really runny and the product dispenser hole is to big for the runny consistency. I prefer my face products to be a bit thicker. The smell smelt to chemically, and it kind of put me off.

Thoughts when using product: they say a little goes a long way, and that is definitely right for this product, which is a great feature as, it means it can last that little bit longer. I found it easier to apply it with a brush to get a more even finish than when I applied it with my fingers. With this product giving a light coverage it was great to wear if you dont want to put a complete 'face' on and the smell I mentioned above? Non existent when on your face. YAY!

I tried many different methods with the BB cream: With primer, without primer, Primer/setting powder, base for foundation. and to be honest the best method I found was just using the primer with the BB cream.

As the days wore on, I found it a great product even when it 'developed' a bit to much, but then I just reduced the product amount applied the next day. I didn't have any issues with it wearing off during the day , I would get a good 7 hours out of one wear before I would take it off.

I had one little issue though, I became very itchy around my face when I used it. But I loved this product for all its minor flaws and it is a great product.

I would recommend this product if all you are looking for is a light coverage and easy quick application.

Tips: I found it was best to apply with a brush than with fingers (I dont use sponges) as you dont use as much product with a brush and you get a better finish and I recommend to wear with a primer.

Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector BB Cream Oil-free S

I found this product very good, I was dreading that the colour would not match mine (me being a Polynesian girl) however, this product kept my skin oil free throughout the day. It's easy to apply and blends well within my skin. It didn't leave any marks (thank goodness!) and also does not have a scent to it... I personally don't like strong smelling scents.

Tips: Try applying it in the morning before you go out somewhere, it lasts all day and is easy to clean!

Not enough coverage for me

I have previously used the medium version of this product and liked the coverage. It was a little dark for me though so I thought the light would be perfect. Unfortunately I just didn't find this had enough coverage. It felt like a tinted moisturizer to me. My skin is combo light, light to med in summer. I would try again but probably use it with a primer and then a foundation after on a night old.

Tips: Don't rely on it as a matte base. Try with a primer and oil before foundation trick aka Wayne goss

My new number one makeup product

I received my product in the post just before I flew out to Aussie last week and I'm so glad I got it - it certainly came with me! I will be using it everyday now. Careful when you squeeze it out as you don't need a lot. It seems quite thick when you put it on but I just applied it with my hands and just made sure I covered my whole face/neck, then allowed it a few minutes to set. I find it covers my acne really well, as well as pigmentation and it lasts so well! Usually I feel like make-up starts to slide off my face after a few hours, but this still looks good eight hours later! A definite winner and quite different to other BB creams that I have tried - in that it's coverage is a lot better and you really don't need to then apply other foundation on it. I love that you can wear it by itself, or I wore it on a night out with my powder over the top. Really happy with this product - especially since it has SPF in it too.

Tips: You don't need a lot, not like a normal foundation, so don't be too gung-ho with it, especially at first.

Only for people with minimal acne?

It is definitely a product i will use if i had minimal amount of acne. This product makes your skin look near perfect without making you look like you have heavy makeup on. But the coverage isnt too great. And this BB cream does not hydrate the skin so sometimes it can leave your skin looking flaky and the smallest dead skins on your face will show. Maybe using it with a moisturizer may solve the problem. This product will be perfect for people who dont like to wear foundation all the time since it does make your skin look a whole lot better. The good thing about this product is that it absorbs really well and it gives a matte finish which is perfect for people who have oily skin.

Tips: Even though it says it moisturizes i recommend using a moisturizer first if you have dry patches on your face.

Great Foundation Alternative

I was pleasantly surprised when trying this product out as I wear foundation everyday and like full coverage, this product gave full coverage without feeling heavy or looking like I had foundation on, it also covers imperfections while still leaving the skin looking and feeling fresh. This BB cream has a matte finish and stays on all day, it does not need reapplied, it goes on smoothly and evenly. You only need a small amount as due to the consistency a little goes a long way, the more you use though the darker it will be so it depends on your skin tone, I have very fair skin so only required a small amount. I have sensitive / dry and oily skin all in one so I found this a great product, it did not irritate my skin yet it hydrated & hid the shine perfectly. This product is great value for the money and easily accessible being able to purchase at supermarkets and department stores etc. The packaging was great, it explained exactly what the product would do as well as being eye-catching, it will be easy to spot when going to purchase again. This BB Cream has a very light/runny consistency so I recommend storing it upside down as it can make the cap quite messy. I will definitely keep using this BB Cream as it is quick and easy to apply, especially for if you are in a rush just put some on, some mascara and lipstick and you are off.

Tips: For a fuller coverage put a powder foundation on over top, or even just powder. Due to the light/runny consistency store the tube upside down so it does not end up all in the cap.

Stays on forever!

I was excited to get this product, as previously I have tried and enjoyed Garnier products. However, this exceeded my expectations. The first thing I noticed about it was that it stayed on all day! This was including through exercising and sweating, it was still just as good as earlier in the day. My skin gets quite oily in some areas but dry in others, and I found this product to keep the oily areas at bay. However, some of my drier areas did look drier after application, but with some moisturizer put on prior, I didn't have any more problems Originally when I first took it out to apply with my fingers the product was quite runny. However, when applied to my face, I found the product to appear as a powder, which allowed my skin to breathe. As my skin can get sensitive to smells, the lack of smell that I found, really was appealing to my needs. Unlike most other BB Creams that I have tried, the packaging was long and slender which looked very chic. Unfortunately though this seems to mean that the cream comes out readily with just the slightest touch and I ended up pushing a little too hard the first time I used it. Using this product I have found that my face looks evenly toned, and I do not have the shine that some other products produce. It felt as though I had nothing on my face yet lasted all day without reapplication. I am a BB Cream addict and use it daily instead of using foundations which cause me to break out and this product has proven to be one of the best I have found. I would recommend this to a friend as a replacement for foundation that looks and feels good!

Tips: Apply less than you think you need, as the product can look orange in appearance when too much is applied. I apply half of what I would normally wear

Light feeling and great coverage

Packaged in a tall squeeze tube with a pointed nozzle it's easy to get product out and great for traveling with, however I did notice some leakage from the tip but nothing major. The coverage is really good and had no issues covering old acne scaring and redness feels very light on my skin and dries down to a natural matte finish. I applied the product using a variety of methods (flat top kabuki, beauty blender, fingers and stippling brush) and all applied the product awesomely, the beauty blender applied the product sheerly though so keep that in mind. I really enjoyed this product and I'll defiantly be re-purchasing when I run out!

Tips: Applied best without primer, I found that with primer it went on a bit streaky

funny story that goes like this....

Well, I always thought that my skin was on a medium tone, everything i purchase usually the lights too light and the darks too dark so I thought medium would be great for me...How wrong was I??? hahahahaha So I was extremely excited to try BB creme, after hearing so much positive feedback and how it had awesome properties but when I applied it I looked like an Ompaloompa...hahaha, it was far too dark and orange for me so I had 2 choices, not continue with the review or to not...Onwards and upwards I say, lucky for me I am a stay at home mum that looked like an ompaloompa for a week, (the kids were horrified). But I absolutely loved this product, bar that it didnt quite cover my blemishes, as i have quite a strong red tinge to my cheeks, I loved the way the finish was to my face. I always use Shisado beauty cake as it covers thick and well giving me a good base, well this was a pretty close second. I could run around doing my daily jobs at home, getting a little hot and sweaty but it didnt seem to really change the coverage - it lasted from the time i applied it 8am till i took it off at 3.30pm, and felt really nice on my skin, it was soft and i really wish I had of got the light colour as I would wear it for the month to see if the results were as they say with less visable pores, and oily skin etc. I would definately reccommend this product and I checked out the price and it was pretty reasonable, I will consider trying the lighter tone in the future

Tips: Try to get a tester sample so you can blend into your correct skin tone

GARNIER'S Oil-free BB Cream is a winner

The coverage is awesome, so even. Totally removes any shine and leaves the skin feeling fresh. Imperfections are gone!

Tips: Apply small amounts at a time. Best applied with 2 layers. Use everyday to tighten pores.
