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.

BB Oil-free Cream

I found this product quite watery compared with other BB creams. I felt I had to put on a little more than normal to get a good coverage. It didn't seem to stay on all day and had to touch up during the day. It certainly felt very nice on my skin, very light. I found the colour was perfect.I only received the product on Thursday 12th so I haven't had a lot of time to play with this product.

Tips: Don't squeeze the tube too much because the product is watery and comes out quickly!

Garnier Miracle BB cream - oil free including SPF

I have been using this product for approximately 9 days and i absolutely love it. It gives an awesome coverage like foundation but its not over the top, my skin felt nice and light as if i had just applied a nice moisturizer, not heavy like some foundations. It did not make my skin feel oily at all which i think is the best thing about this product. It is an added bonus that it contains SPF 15 so it's basically contains everything you need in one cream. super easy to apply. Over all i would be happy to purchase this again and trust that it will do what it says. Great value for money.

Tips: I used a bronzer over the top to finish off my look.

not a new bb cream user

I've used a few japanese bb creams in the past so I was excited to try Garnier's take on them!

I found the texture interesting, more like a liquid foundation rather than a cream, a little goes a long way. I found I often had a lot more than i needed as it was hard to just get a little bit out of the tube.

All in all it provided great oil coverage, I will be excited to see how it works over 4 weeks, I will probably buy again as it's a great all rounder.

The colour match was perfect for my fair skin, and made a great base for bronzer and blush ^^ gave my skin a glow and didn't get flakey or dry during the day. Managed to hide my thin skin and lasted well.

Tips: apply with a foundation brush, only using a little and adding more if needed.

Light & smooth

I really liked this BB cream. My skin can get quite oily so the oil free option was great for me. It was very light on my skin & coverage was great with only using a small amount. I used a make up sponge to apply & the cream gave my skin a smooth, matte look. I didn't notice any fragrance to the cream which is good as i personally don't like fragranced makeup. The packaging of this product was slimline & pleasing to look at. It was a decent sized tube with a fine nozzle making it easy to use. I only needed a small amount for each application so the tube would last me at least a couple of months! It lasted all day when used on it's own & i found my foundation lasted longer when i used the BB cream as a base. Overall i really liked this product & would definitely recommend it & use it again.

Tips: Use a sponge for great coverage & definitely use under foundation for an all day look.

Exactly what I need in a BB cream

I have quite typical combination skin - dry cheeks with an oily t-zone. This BB cream went on smoothly, gave my skin an instant even tone and lasted well thought the day. I didn't have my usual 3pm oil slick on my forehead, or scaly patches on my cheeks. I was impressed with the lack of fragrance - I'm not a fan of smelly skin products, and the fact that it didn't take a lot of product to fully cover my skin. The tube should last quite a while!

Tips: Put it on a tiny bit at a time - it doesn't take much to cover my face & you don't want to waste it!

Wow I'm a Convertor

This is my second attempt to submit this review on Garnier BB Cream. I have heard a lot of people talk about BB cream but it is a product I have never used. I have only ever used foundation that was on special at the time and my much loved Thin Lizzy on top. Since trying BB cream OMG it is amazing and I find I no longer need to use my Thin Lizzy on top as the evenness and the complete coverage is amazing as is the subtle scent that is no way overpowering. I thought on the first time i used this product I found it to be powdery on application but within minutes it looked great and does not at all portray powdery look and wow it stays on all day looking great. I have had many people come up to me saying how good I am looking - thanks Garnier BB cream.

Tips: For a great evening look use Garnier BB cream on well moisturised skin and use Thin Lizzy on top with good emphasis on Thin Lizzy as cheek bronzer.

BB cream for oily skin

Love this!!!! I went for the medium color and this wa perfect for me. I apply with a brush - it goes on smoothly and doesnt need much blending, the texture is a little thicker than other bb creams I have used. This meant it covered more! I was able to wear this as my daily foundation by its self! It covered all my imperfections and looked natural. It also didnt feel heavy and seemed to give my skin a smooth look. It would stay put and lasted the whole day! My skin feels healthy and I believe it is a little less oily! I haven't noticed anything different about my pore size but perhaps thats too early for it. I cannot find anything unpleasant about this experience! Once this tube is used up I am going to buy me some more!!

Tips: A little goes a long way so start off with a small amount and build on that as you need to.

My new everyday foundation!!

For many years I had found that a cheap foundation couldnt cut it for my skin. Most of them have just been too oily and/or the coverage just wouldnt be enough for my liking. So to be honest I was expecting the same with this one just because I have been using expensive foundations for the last couple of years.

This has really change my thoughts on a supermarket foundation. I am really enjoying this for every day use and actually it can work for night time use as well! I will get this comment out the way because this was the only downer I found with this product and that is its a shade or two darker than my skin tone. I can almost get away with it but if I was outside on a sunny day you could see a slight difference but I am willing to make it work as I am really loving it!!

I do have an oily skin and I was pretty addimate that this would not be able to control my oily flow but man was I wrong! With it having quite a thin consistantcy I thought it was going to have quite an oily finish to it just because its a supermarket product but it doesnt! Thank goodness! It has a nice matte finish but with out it feeling powdery on the skin. I was so glad that I had a good amount of time to trial this as I did play with it using different methods and using other different products with it. I reckon you can quite easily use a flat top kabuki and a beauty blender and it gives you a good finish. My favourite method for every day though would be the beauty blender, it just gives such a beautiful finish without the extra work. I also got the oppitunaty to mix it with my other foundation and test it out by reapplying it at night when I had been wearing it all day. It works soo well in so many different ways.

I found that this product has a medium to slightly builable coverage so its definately enough to even out your skin tone. I also love pairing it with my Australis fresh and flawless powder becuase this can help to give a bit more coverage with an even more flawless finish, argh perfection! The longevity of this product I was nicely suprised by too, I wouldnt rely on it for day and night wear but it definately lasts the day or night quite easily.

I personally didnt find that it had a smell, mind you my sense of smell is terrible. The packaging in my eyes is very easy as its in a nice tall tube and there is no pump so you have complete control of how much product you are wanting to come out.

This is definately a product that I would recommend to a friend and even a stanger! I just find it so good for something of this price!!

Tips: I dont have too many tips to share on this one just because im still having a wee play with different things but what I did pick up was to be a careful when applying it with a flat top kabuki brush just because I found that this product can streak easily if you are not paying attention. I also found that this works perfectly with the Australis fresh and flawless powder, I will always apply powder after foundation even if it suggests not to. So if you are in need for a good pair grab this powder while your getting this BB cream and Im sure you wont regret it :)

I really hope this has been somewhat helpful to you all, tried my hardest despite the form that Im in ;P x

Must have BB

Firstly how exciting to be part of such a large trial!

My skin type is combination (oily t-zone) and I occasionally suffer from some hormonal break outs (you would think that would stop being close to 30). I tested the colour light although I would say it is more light/medium.

The BB cream I tested came in a sleek 40ml tube that looked fairly expensive. It is a squeeze tube with a small nozzle at the end. I found the cream comes out very quickly, so you need to be careful and squeeze gently as the consistence of it is fairly runny.

Having said that, as it is a fairly thin liquid, a little goes a long way and I can see this product lasting a really long time.

I have been applying the cream with my fingers and I find it glides on beautifully and you really have time to spread the product across your face and neck. I also found that the coverage is surprisingly full and covers any imperfections or blemishes well. I have never used a BB cream before and I thought it would be much more sheer on the skin. I don't mind the coverage as I am in a client facing job so it is important I look presentable.

The fragrance of this product is quite perfumed but again I don't mind this, you might have to watch out on sensitive skin however.

When I first apply the cream I find that it goes on matte but throughout the day it has a much more dewy look to it. The cream is long lasting but if you are like me and have an oily t-zone, you will still need to powder half way through the day.

In all honesty I have not seen any major results and It doesn't seem to reduce my pores. However I do think it is a really nice inexpensive every day product for girls that don't like foundation. I also like it as it is lighter on my skin for this time of year.

Tips: Only use a small amount, a little goes a long way.

Miracle Skin Perfector BB Cream Oil-free

I'm a big fan of this BB cream for several reasons. First, the coverage, while light, still hides imperfections and gives you a flawless finish, making it perfect for daytime/work wear. I find applying it with a foundation brush also gives me better, more buildable coverage.

The staying power is good, especially if you set it with a powder (as I do). It lasts well throughout the day, and I just touch up with an extra layer of BB cream or powder if I'm wanting it to feel a bit more 'fresh' for post-work stuff. My favourite thing is that I can touch it up without it looking cakey too!

I have combination skin, but it tends to run drier in certain patches during winter. I find the formula good for my skin type, but make sure you moisturise (and perhaps prime first), as it can stick a wee bit to dry areas.

The colour (I used light) is perfect for fair skin. While the shade is slightly more suited to my summer/autumn tone, I can still convincingly use it in winter. This is a big pro for me, as I love products I can pull out at any time of the year.

I'd definitely recommend this product to others, especially those looking for affordable, lighter coverage.

Tips: As others have mentioned, the formula is very runny so keep this in mind when opening it!
