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.

When i first apply this i love the finish! but it is not longwearing at all - it melts off my face even after setting with a powder and oxidises quite orange. Its pretty good for the price, and not the worst BB i have used, but not the best either

It's oil-right with me!

This product is my holy grail BB cream product. I haven't tried any other BB creams (except the other Garnier ones) and I don't think I ever will!

I like the tube. It's long and thin and fits (almost) perfectly in my lipstick holder in my makeup stand. It also holds less than the other tubes of BB cream from Garnier, but I find that it lasts a lot longer and you need a lot less of it compared to the others.

The formula is super runny, so you can store it any which way you want, but if you store it on the lid, make sure you are super careful when you open it because it will be like a little explosion! There is also a chemical smell to it, I don't always notice it, but I can feel it if it gets a little too close to my eyes.

I use a stippling brush to get this bad boy on, but you can use your fingers and apply it like a moisturizer, or a blending sponge, or whatever is in your arsenal! It gives off a light coverage, I find I can still see some bits of red on my cheeks, but foundation covers it almost immediately, and I use a green red reducing primer underneath so it helps out too.

This stuff lasts (on me) all day set with a powder or not, and it's fabulous. It sets matte-ish, actually matches my skin tone and is just generally nice to wear. My skin looks flawless if I wear this, which I do whenever I wear make up. I don't even use as much foundation as I would with this stuff underneath. It's that freakin' good.

I don't wear makeup often, so a whole tube lasted me a good year(ish). I don't need to buy another as I have a spare, but I will buy this again in future because I LOVE it!

Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector BB Cream Oil-free

I was pleasantly surprised by this one, it being a supermarket product!

I used the light shade. As I have very pale skin the match wasn't perfect but it wasn't glaringly dark orange like some tinted products can be. The fragrance is subtle and clean, no perfumes to make me all sniffy!

I applied the product to clean skin with a foundation brush. The coverage is very sheer so I had to build up the layers a bit in problem areas, but the texture was really good (neither greasy nor cakey, it dried but didn't feel tight). It reflects the light/has a slight sheen to it so it looks pretty natural. I would tend to use concealer for the extra coverage, but I still feel like this product could replace my foundation.

Tips: Using a brush is just my personal preference, dabbing it into the skin with your fingertips would work as well.

I would recommend that people with medium skin tones check out the light shade first; I feel like it would suit most caucasian skin and the medium shade might be a tad dark.

Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector BB Cream Oil-free

I really liked the Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector BB Cream Oil-free SPF 15. I found the medium a bit too yellowish for my skin. However, I t provided really good coverage and felt light to wear on my skin and had a good Consistency. I like how it also is SPF 15 as it gives me a little it of protection from the sun without having to wear sunblock as well. I thought the packaging was well suited to the product. It wasn't in a huge box filled with lots of air space. Overall I think I would of been better off with the lighter shade and will recommend to friends to try out.

Prefer something with full coverage

I found this product quite runny and with each squeeze of the tube ended up with more than I needed! I found that this product was not long lasting and by early afternoon it appeared that I really had nothing on. Personally I prefer something full coverage and long lasting. This may suit those ladies that don't like full coverage but for me personally it wasn't suitable.

Perfect skin in seconds!

I have tried many products over the years. This Oil-free BB Cream is defiantly one of my favorites. Its so easy to apply and it looks very natural. I have tried some of the other BB creams too, but the oil fee one is the best. I love that you get so much of it as well!

Tips: A little goes a long way. Don't pile too much on!

love this bb cream (light)

Extremely happy with this BB cream, it really surprised me how much well it covered and made an even skin tone. The color matched really well and I didn't find it oily or caused any breakouts. I would definetly use this as my everyday foundation. It was nice and light. I even had some compliments on how well my skin looked.

Tips: Apply a second layer of BB cream if you are wanting a full foundation look

Just perfect!

Wow, i went into this with huge expectations as i have heard nothing but positivity about it. With applying i found it was very orange, but faded into a colour which matched my skin. The only downside was the very quick drying time. It was easy to apply as was liquid and i have combination skin (oily T-zone. After 7 hours the skin was barely there. It had very good coverage and covered as well as my revlon colourstay foundation. My freckles were mainly covered and my red/blotchy patches on my face were gone! The finish was matte which i really liked. I liked it alot compared to my maybelline bb cream which barely covers anything on my face, and i have to apply several layers to get any noticeable change in my face colour. The product states it reduces shine and is matte, reduces pores and imperfections, makes your skin glowy and even and i feel like it covers all of this and recommend this highly!!

Tips: You only need a small amount of product. It dries fast so apply little sections at a time. Recommend for oily skin!!

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!

Really happy with this.

I had always heard BB Creams were like tinted moisturisers, so I haven't really jumped on the bandwagon. I wasn't too happy with the only other BB cream I've purchased, but was pleasantly surprised at this one!

I have oily-combination skin and am very pale. I found that the light was still a little too dark for me, but that's being pretty fussy. I think in Summer the colouring will be spot on.

It was really good at controlling oil - my face was less oily than usual, which was great as often I have to keep applying powder all day!

The best part was that it had great coverage, and it really evened out my skin tone. Add to that the fact that it was super easy to apply (no bothering with primer beforehand) it's definitely my new go-to! I also love my foundation I'm using at the moment, so I'll switch between the two - depending on whether I have the extra time it takes to apply my foundation.

Overall, very happy with this! Nice sized bottle too and you don't need heaps of it, so it should last a while.

Tips: Use two coats if you want it a bit thicker, but I found one was just perfect for me.
