Garnier Skin Perfector BB Cream Oil-Free Review

First time using a BB cream, and was really impressed with this one. Spread on evenly, I have a dark red mark on my forehead, which it covered up perfectly. Nice and light, coverage does last all day, and actually has reduced pore size! also worked well underneath my normal foundation. The only downer for me was the smell is quite potent when you first open tube, but you don't notice it once it dries on.would def use again!

I've never tried a BB cream before, so I don't have any experience with what they're like or what they're supposed to do, but the description of this BB cream specifically says that it helps control oil on your face.

The consistency of the BB cream is runnier than I was expecting, and the scent is quite strong (but a nice scent at least). It's a tube so you have to squeeze it out, like toothpaste or something, which I guess is convenient since you can choose to use a small or large amount - unlike pumps, which give you a set amount whether you like it or not.

The first day I used the BB cream I applied it with a buffing brush and chose not to use any powder. It was really easy to apply this way (I did try applying it with my fingers the night before, just to see what the coverage was like before I wore it to work the next day, and I think applying it with a brush definitely gave it better coverage). The coverage was okay, probably the same as a medium-high coverage foundation, I used some concealer on some spots that weren't fully covered then was good to go. By lunch time I noticed that my forehead looked super shiney, and that the makeup had gathered/moved in between my eyebrows. I wasn't very happy with this result, so the next day I decided to wear some powder to see if that would help, however, I still got the same result - still looked oily by the middle of the day and the makeup still bunched up between my eyebrows and around my nose (the powder I used was MAC MSF natural).

Overall, I was not very impressed by this BB cream and would not recommend it to anyone I know who has oily skin - this brand of BB creams may be AMAZING for people who have dry or normal skin, but definitely not oily. The product did not do what it was designed to do, and the only reason I would use it again is because I now have it and don't like wasting products.

I loved this BB cream and I'll never use anything else again! beautiful coverage which you can layer up for a more "made up" look or lovely light coverage for a super natural look.

Glides on easily, is easy to blend and isn't patchy. This BB cream really evens out skin tone and works well under a little bronzer or blusher.

I like that it has the added SPF15 too. All in all, I will continue to use this BB cream as my everyday cream, as well as when I want to get all made up!

I really liked this product. Went on like a dream, good consistency and covered up minor imperfections. Very lightweight felt great on the face and i think i'll be purchasing it for myself.

I love this product It covered my imperfections very well, my skin felt moisturised. It was light on my skin and very easy to apply. You don't need to use very much at all. I have not really noticed changes to my skin yet like the results claim. As I have only used it for a week. Will continue to trail it for the full four weeks and see.

I have quite oily skin, sometimes I get a few breakouts and natural red cheeks which can make it hard to find a BB Cream that fits me. I found the consistency to look quite runny but felt light on the skin. I found it easy to apply regardless of technique first I tried it with fingers and it applied nice but sheer and was easy to build to an almost medium coverage. With a brush it was very easy to build up for me and found I had a nice medium-full coverage with a very natural finish. More matte than dewy. With or without primer it seemed to give nice finishes and application was fine. I found it did last the day on my skin but could easily transfer onto things if in contact with the face. I like the packaging it came in but wish it had a pump instead of just a squeeze tube as I found it a bit messy and as It is a very runny consistency it is easy to end up with too much product. There is a smell which I can't pin point but once its on I didn't really notice it. As far as long term effects of less oliy skin and smaller pores and less imperfections I don't think I have used it long enough and am quite happy with basic results such as looking natural, feeling light, nice coverage and not looking oily. The price is very good and well worth it. So yes, I would recommend it to my friends.

I really like this product as I do suffer from oiliness around the T-Zone. I dont like to wear foundation so this is fantastic as it lets your skin breathe while giving you a nice glow with SPF and amazing minerals that correct the oiliness too. I think it is fantastic. I feel really good wearing the BB cream knowing it is doing so much. I will keep using this product and it will be interesting to see if it delivers what it says it does with reduced size of pores and reduction of imperfections. But I need more time for that. Highly recommend this product.

This BB cream was very easy to use, I just applied with my fingers and didn't have to do too much blending or anything as the light colour was a good match for me. It has good coverage and lasted all day quite well. I didn't get any oily or clogged feeling like I do with some thicker creams and it's a bonus that it is SPF 15. I usually use the Maybelline Pure BB Cream but would seriously consider switching to this one.

As I have never used a BB cream before I was quite excited to give this a go especially because it says that it is a skin perfector for oily and combination skin. When I first opened the product I did like the packaging, I thought the squeezable tube would make it easy to get the right amount needed however when I opened it I found the product to be quite runny (I wasn't expecting that) and it ran straight out so my first impression wasn't the greatest. I wasn't 100% sure how I was meant to apply it so I tried a range of ways over the trial including using my fingers, makeup sponge, foundation brush ect, on its own, over moisturiser, under powder ect. I didn't like the smell but did notice that once it was completely applied and settled the scent was no longer noticeable, When I used this product on its own I found that it did not last long throughout the day, and by lunch time my skin (especially forehead) was shiny and felt more oilier than usual. Throughout my trial the best way for me to use this product is after exfoliating my face, applying the bb cream and then mineral powder I do get a really nice natural finish that covers red spots nicely and looks pretty good. It does not last as long as I would like it to so for this reason I will not be purchasing it for myself. However because I now have the product I will continue to experiment with it and see if I do find a way for it to work for me. I don't see this product as being the "Miracle Skin Perfector" for oily and combination skin because it does not "fulfil all of my skins needs" and overall was quite disappointed in this BB Cream after hearing all the hype over bb creams.
