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.

Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector BB Cream Oil-free

This great for my oily skin! It gives light coverage but manages to covers up my pores really well, has matte finish and easy to blend and apply. Matches my skin tone really well and feels great on my face like i have nothing on which I love.

The worst thing about this is the packaging. I have to tip the bottle upside down and be very careful when squeezing out the product because it spills everywhere.

Tips: I found this does get a bit oily and wear off throughout the day. I use powder over the top to absorb excess oil.

Miracle skin perfector

I had previously tried the bb creams when they first came out and I was underwhelmed. I usually have normal/oily skin (on the T zone) and found previous bb creams did not have the kind of effect they advertised. I also found in no time I would have to apply powder as my skin would get too shiny. As a result I did not have high expectations for this product. But boy was I proven wrong after the very first use I was a convert. It is a liquid that spreads over the skin so easily and absorbs quickly leaving such a beautiful soft finish. The coverage was simply amazing, even better than any foundation I have tried. Was brilliant as it still looked very light and natural on the skin. I decided to not use moisturiser to really try out one of it's claims. And it was so good my skin looks amazing and not dry at all. One thing that amazed me is that I usually have to use pressed powder during the day to get rid of shine but when wearing this I seriously did not need to. And I must confess I wore it to bed one night and was shocked to wake up with skin that still looked amazing, not that I like to make a habit of that. With having two young boys and a 5 month old daughter anything that saves me time is a winner in my eyes. When using this I saved time by not using moisturiser, pressed powder and as it evened out skin tone so well I didn't need to use as much concealer. I'm sure you can tell I loved, loved this product and would definitely repurchase again and again. Don't even think I will use my foundation again, this stuff is that good! Would totally recommend to family, friends and friends on BR.

Tips: It is quite liquid so carefully tip to pour a little onto your fingertip to start with. I would also advise to apply to face in small sections like cheek, cheek, nose, chin, forehead etc as it does absorb into the skin fast.

Garnier Miracle BB Cream

This is my first time using a BB Cream, I guess I have never used them in the past as I had assumed they were just the same as a tinted moisturiser. On trying the Garnier Miracle BB Cream I was most impressed.

The packaging for a start is very practical, it comes in a slim tube which you can easily store in your makeup bag, handbag and great for travelling. The product is able to be squeezed quickly from the tube but do be careful as the cream is quite running and a little goes along way.

I am using the Garnier Miracle BB Cream - Oily& Combination Skin in Light. As I mentioned earlier the cream is rather runny so a small blob on the back of the hand is heaps for me. I applied the cream over my cleansed and moisturised face. I found the cream very easy to spread over my face and I was left with a light weight, matte coverage. It also easily evens out my skin tone and any redness I have. I also like the cream as it does not really have a fragrance that overpowers me.

I have worn the BB cream daily on several different occasions. The cream wears well, did not smudge onto clothing and only on a day when I had been exercising did I have a bit of shine in the t-zone area.

Overall I was suitable impressed with the BB cream. It probably wasnt as hydrating as I would have liked but that maybe due to the cool winter air and was easily fixed by applying my moisturiser first. I was happy with the coverage and its lightweight feel. My skin did also look even and healthy. An added bonus of the SPF15. I am using the cream in light which is suited to my pale skin in winter but for summer I feel the medium shade might be better. I will continue to use the BB cream and have already recommended it family and friends

Tips: A small amount goes along way, you can add coverage by applying another layer of cream. Is easily applied with fingers so very practical for busy working mums!

Skin perfector

I have used other BB creams and had always wanted to try this as the price point is really good compared to the high end brands. I was really pleasantly surprised, it's as good if not better than the others. My skin glowed and looked evened out and also didn't make my fringe oily like some do. It's quite a runny consistency and way to spread and I used alone instead of moisturiser. I've even worn it instead of foundation auditioning this week.

Tips: Don't push the bottle too hard or too much product will come out.

garnier bb cream

Wow! Finally a product that does what it says! I loved this product it felt light on my skin and gave me good coverage, it took away my redness and hid my blemishes beautifully. I did find though that the tube leaked a little bit but only when the lid was off. I even got complimented on how good my skin looks and my mum was so impressed that she went and bought her own!

Hit & miss

I found this BB cream to be a little bit hit and miss.

When I first put it on I definitely noticed the difference in my skins appearance, and loved it. My skin is very fair, freckles and gets oily/shiny after a few hours of washing. I was a bit surprised by how runny and thin the cream was so I did waste a lot on the first go, it also looks a bit shiny to begin with but did matte out a little after a few minutes.

I put a powder on top and by the end of the day my skin still looked fine, no noticeable makeup wear & tear. My workplace is very humid so it was good at controlling the oil and shine.

I would use this quite often as my back up BB, but it was slightly too orange for me so I had to be careful how much I applied (I use fingers) and then ensure my powder covered it all and was blended perfectly. My dark hair helped, if I was blonde it would've been way too orange.

It had no noticeable smell which was great, and it didn't feel like a layer on your face. I would recommend this BB cream to my friends, just perhaps not the really fair skinned ones.

Tips: I tried this with and without moisturiser and for me found it stayed better with mousturiser.

Garnier Miracle BB Cream - Oil Free

This BB Cream was much better than I was expecting. I could replace my foundation with this cream. The coverage was pretty good, although I did find that it didn't cover blemishes on my skin as well as I was expecting. It felt very light on and wasn't greasy at all and definitely helped keep my skin oil free. I would definitely keep using this cream. It's cheaper than foundation as well and feels a lot less "cakey" on which is great.

Tips: I found applying it with my fingers didn't quite get the desired level of coverage so I applied it with a sponge and it worked prefectly. I did use powder over the top whilst at work and it stayed on for the whole day better than my foundation some times.

Garnier BB Oil-Free - not for me

This product went on smoothly to start with but dried really quickly, making it difficult for me to achieve my desired first even, lighter layer coverage. Dried matte as promised, but had a slightly unappealing powdery texture. I applied as lightly as I could to begin with and understandably, the coverage was not as good as I expected, However, I asked other people in my household at that time (without telling them I had applied anything) if they noticed a difference. Two women and one man - all said that whatever I had put on my face was not at all flattering, and looked very "artificial". Needless to say I did not do a second application for more coverage. I have olive skin and chose the medium shade so perhaps I should have chosen dark? The scent was ok,

Longevity - Lasted all day. Price - good in comparison to other similar products. Packaging - ok but way too 'busy' and even with my glasses I had trouble reading the small print. Results - I (and everyone else) was not happy with the look. It certainly combated my oil issues, but my skin felt overly dry. I would not recommend it.

Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector BB Cream

Welllllll.......I am known for being a bit of a BB cream addict. I have tried about 40 different ones and to be honest...this one didnt rate. For starters as soon as I opened the lid the cream poured out onto my black top ( it is not coming out anytime soon!). Then when I actually applied the cream I had different opinions- Pros: -Smooths the skin, is very soft and moisturising. -Was a great colour for my skin ( I used the light). -Stayed on all day ( with some powder over top). Cons: - Not very thick, I needed to apply a couple of layers to cover my uneven skin tone and redness. - Smells very much like chemicals. - when touching your skin afterwards, it will rub off very easily. All in all I would not repurchase this, it felt like more of a tinted moisturiser and I prefer a thicker finish.

Tips: Two applications for an even finish.

awesome!

my skins usually quite oily, usually id use a moisteriser and I jst put my foundation over tht n it works fine, until now the bb cream from garnier is so good! will definitely be buying it when my trial runs out, it stays put all day I put it straight on to my face and didnt bother moisturising before hand. its easy to apply and a little bit goes a long way the only beef I have is that the colour can get a bit orange if your not carefull.

Tips: a little goes a long way use less than you think then build it up ogherwise you will look like an oompa loompa.
