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.

Great BB Cream for beginners and experts alike!

I've used a couple of BB creams before but found this one to be one of my favourites! The formula was quite runny and smooth and it gave a good coverage for a BB Cream and not cakey at all! I applied in three ways, with my hands, with a brush and with a Beauty Blender and I found my Beauty Blender to have the best application as it is my favourite way to apply foundations and BB Creams. This is the kind of thing I would wear on my face on a daily basis as I have quite normal skin that hardly blemishes. It would be nice if it came in darker shades, so everyone gets the chance to experience this! But as for me it was a very good BB Cream and I would definitely repurchase and recommend to others!

Tips: Use with a primer and finishing powder to make it last longer in the day!

10/10 Garnier Oil-Free BB Cream

Wow! A product that actually does what it says! I really wasn't expecting much from a BB cream but this product definitely ticks all the boxes. I have very large pores and find most foundations and especially powders don't hide them. Garnier BB cream smoothed straight over them and hid them (aswell as my red spots on my cheeks) very well. The smooth velvet touch made my skin feel like I wasn't wearing any makeup and the coverage was amazing. One coat was enough to hide my blemishes. The biggest bonus I found with this liquid gold was you only had to use a small amount to cover your face and neck. I love the fact that this product has spf 15 protection, it saves me time from applying my greasy sunscreen to my makeup routine. I am over the moon with my new oil-free BB cream from Garnier and have now got my friends using it too.

Tips: A small amount is all you need for complete coverage on your face and neck. Too much will make your face have the "wearing make-up look". This BB cream makes your skin look fresh and velvet smooth.

BB Cream oil Free SPF

Well not being a big makeup fan or wearer I can't really compare this to anything, but what I will say is I didn't feel claustrophobic when wearing it, I firstly tried it on the back of my hand and I must say I was astounded on how much younger my skin looked. I have worn it on my face every day since, and it felt good. I cant rate the SPF being the middle of winter, but will more than happily try wearing it over summer if im going to be out because I find a lot of sun screens feel horrible on my face and often choose to go without instead!

Pretty good!

This BB cream was pretty good. I had tried the original BB cream Garnier released years ago and absolutely hated it as it was greasy, had little to no coverage, and it slipped around my face whenever I wore it. This was quite a thin, runny consistency unlike many other BB creams I've tried. I used the Real Techniques expert face brush to apply this BB cream each time. It covered some redness but none of my darkness under my eyes, so I used some concealer under the eyes. I noticed after having let it sit on my face for ten minutes that the finish wasn't matte at all.. it was more of a satin finish (on my skin at least). So I set the BB cream with Rimmel stay matte powder. Despite setting it, it only lasted a few hours on my skin. It doesn't give great coverage and it doesn't last very long on my combo/oily skin. However, it does not claim to do either of these on the bottle. This BB cream was moisturising, it made my skin feel less oily, however it did not reduce my pore size at all. I dislike how this BB cream only comes in 2 shades, as it doesn't cater for darker skin tones. But overall.. PROS: Pretty good coverage of redness, the finish, it was moisturizing, it reduced oiliness CONS: very light coverage of darkness, shade selection, longevity, it didn't reduce pore size. I think this BB cream is best used if set with a setting spray (which I tried and it lasted much longer) or used for short period of time.. not to be worn for a full day (Not on oily/combo skin at least).

Tips: If you're going for the matte look, set with a matte powder because this doesn't leave the skin overly matte.

Garnier bb cream oily/combo in medium

I was so excited to receive this in the mail to try out! Having used a couple of other branded BB creams, this was definitely my favourite. The colour (medium) blended perfectly into my skin, the consistency is of a good quality liquid foundation. It is very easy to apply ( I just used my finger as im usually a powder girl). It was a sheer coverage something good for "no makeup" days. although I had a shine after a couple of hours, I do however have a super oily T-zone. The packaging is very appealing to the eye. It claims to reduce pores, I found this wasnt true, my pores are enlarged and didnt look at all reduced. But overall, I was impressed and would purchase this for my days where I just need a little something :-)

Tips: This BB cream would be perfect as a primer, and is also great for those "no makeup days" I would recommend a beauty blender for application. And definitely make sure you chose the right skin type and colour one :-)

Garnier Oil Free BB Cream

This was my first BB cream and I'm relatively impressed by the results. I've found it to be very easy to apply (I myself used my fingers like I do with liquid foundations), has good coverage, and is light so I didn't have the caked on feel like some foundations. I liked that I could use it for every day coverage, and that it's a bit more 'make-upy' than just tinted moisturiser. Due to my type of job, I don't like to have full make up on, but some coverage so I feel presentable which I could with this cream.

Sometimes the Medium shade seemed a bit dark compared to my morning Winter skin, but I can imagine it will go well with my skin in the Summer (If I have any left!). I wasn't fond of the fact that the liquid seemed to run out of the tube when opened and made me feel a bit messy.

As this is my first BB cream, I can't say how it compares to other brands. I would consider purchasing this again, but I will still shop around to see if there are other BB creams that may suit me better.

Impressive

Really impressed with this BB Cream. The medium shade matched my skin really well with a nice matte finish, it wasn't thick but then it wasn't too runny to where it was making a mess and went on a breeze. I didn't have to use much to cover my entire face and used both my fingers and a foundation brush to apply it and both worked really well. When i first open the lid It had a slightly strong smell i could only describe as smelling a perfume straight from the bottle but once i had applied it the smell disappeared. I found it really good as a base for my foundation and also on its own, even without a primer it lasted all day with me getting caught in the rain, standing over big pots cooking and being blasted with steam. I like the packaging, the long thin tube fitting neatly in my make up bag and also my handbag when i'm travelling. I like that i didn't feel as if my face was caked down with make up. It did leave my skin smooth but i think it would have worked a lot better over a primer or pore filler for a more flawless look. It did do as it said and worked well with my oily skin, a lot of foundations and BB creams feel horrible after a few hours around my nose and forehead but this one didn't. I have been using it every day and It hasn't left my skin feeling dry and i haven't broken out like i do with other BB creams. As for the price it's pretty cheap compared to a lot of top named brands so i definitely wouldn't be put off about buying it again, For the results it achieves it is well worth the price.

Tips: Although it lasts all day i recommend using a primer for an extra flawless look

miracle

Loved this little tube of wonder it made me feel flawless it blends well and also looks good with powder , its not to heavy like some bb creams are out there, iy was very light and i found that i can build it up or dress it down depending on how much i use, preferably i like to apply bb cream with my fingertips and foundation with a sponge or brush but i found that i got the desired look by blotting a sponge. Its a decent sized tube and a little goes a long way so it will last a while,I'm going to use this till the last drop!

Tips: Use it sparingly x

Garnier Bb cream

I really enjoyed using this product and would recommend to others. It went on well and I found it to be sufficient moisturising. It gave good coverage and left my skin dewy but after a few hours looked a bit oily. The consistency was great, not to thick and not to runny, basically a good tinted moisturiser with a better coverage.

Tips: After letting the cream set for a few minutes I applied a light layer of translucent setting powder.

garner miracle skin perferctor bb cream oil free

after trying it for a week I just don't think its long lasting my face was really oily after wearing it for a few hours often times the bottle was faulty making a mess when I opened it and it was so liquidy that it just poured right out if it was less oily and a little thicker it would have been a good product
