Garnier Skin Perfector BB Cream Oil-Free Review

Its brilliant to see Garnier is now catering to more skin types. While I am loving this product there are still a few things that are in need of a little fine tuning. To start, the slim design of the bottle is great to pop in your handbag or if you're like me and have a counter packed with products it slips in nicely without taking up much room. Unfortunately when you go to open the lid it is best to face the nozzle upwards, otherwise the procduct tends to ooze or even explode out of the tube and make a mess so be aware. The product itself is on the runny side but its smoothes on nice and evenly and it really does give great coverage, so for those who match the colour tone it could be used as your everyday makeup. It gives your skin a lovely smooth, matte look and feels very light to wear. A down side is the choice of only two shades, unfortunately the medium colour is far to dark and the light is too light for me, for this review I had the medium and had to go over with a light foundation. In conclusion it is an amazing product, if there were a few more shade options and the tube was worked on a bit more it would be close to a perfect :)

In my opinion, the product was weightless, smooth, great colour match for my light skin and really easy to apply. It lasted around 7-8 hours without the need to 'touch it up' at all! The texture was smooth and silky which also made for flawless appearance. It lessened the appearance of skin flaws and was delightful to use on my very sensitive skin. I would definitely recommend this product to both young and mature skin. I would also definitely buy it again for myself. A+++

Love it ! This cream is amazing. It helps with the "problem areas' and allows my skin to look the best it can without being covered up. This cream goes on easily and smoothly, flows over my face. It covers evenly and blends in so there are no lines. I love the dewy soft look I get when I use it, no shiny oil clogged skin, but also doesn't leave my skin dry, its absolutely perfect! It gives me the confidence that my skin looks good without feeling like im wearing a mask. I would recommend bb creams for all age groups ( in fact I just got some for my teenager as well) . It helps you make the most of your natural skin. absolutely loving the Oil free version - leaves my skin young and supple looking. THANK YOU GARNIER!

I used every morning after moisturising and found a little bit went a long way. It gives a nice even coverage without leaving a greasy feeling. I have been using it instead of foundation and it works well as it's very light and natural looking, and stays on all day. I love it and will continue to use it!

I loved this product. It worked really well on my skin. It gives good coverage and is perfect for those days when you don't want to use full make up but need something to make you look good and to cover those imperfections.

I'm a huge fan of asian BB creams, so I was interested to try a european BB and see what it was like.

On initial application, the BB felt smooth and easy to apply, and it gave a good amount of coverage. The light shade perfectly matched my NW 15-20 skin and I was happy with the finish - not entirely matte as it says, i'd day its more of a demi-matte, satin finish.

As always, I set the BB with powder - I always do this with BB cream. However, after about 4 hours of wear I started looking very greasy and oily - not what I expected from a BB targeted for oily skinned peeps like me :(

I touched up with powder at lunch time, but unfortunately at about 4pm I was looking like a greaseball again.

Overall - it's a good BB cream that would suit dry/normal skin, but if you are combo/oily I would steer clear, unless you are ok with touching up. It gives nice coverage but I personally don't think it should be marketed as specifically for oily skin, because it didn't work for me.

I typically use asian BB creams as they tend to work better with my colouring (NC25-30) so I was very interested in trialling this Bb cream as I could buy it locally without the shipping wait! It is packaged in a sturdy slim tube with a precision tip applicator so it is easy to get just the right amount. I loved that this is oil-free as my past BB cream experiences have been a bit varied and some have not lasted as long as I'd like as I get oily patches on my forehead and just above my chin.

First off, I chose the light shade which matched quite well to my light-medium asian skin, once applied I could barely tell I was wearing anything except that my skin tone was smoother and imperfections were way less noticeable. It didn't need to oxidise on the skin unlike some BB creams which is a huge bonus as I didn't have to wait to go out and it didn't have the greyish tone which the BB creams from Asia usually give me when I first apply. It blended in nicely and I would say the finish is a light-medium coverage.

It did last most of the day with only a few patches disappearing. Overall, a lovely BB cream which is perfect for the days you want a little bit a coverage without creating the full makeup face.

I really loved this BB cream and am pleasantly surprised. I have used tinted moisturiser before and it made me look really orange. With this one it didn't though. It is really easy to use, and a little goes a long way. I use a $2.00 coin sized amount and it covers my whole face. I do this at about 7 am every morning and it lasts all day until I get home after 6 and I don’t have to do any touch ups throughout the day. It makes my skin feel really soft and covers my dark circles, other blemishes and gives me an even complexion. It doesn't feel heavy on my skin or make it feel irritated or oily. I have been using it over a week now and noticed that my skin doesn’t feel as oily. And it doesn't smell bad like I thought it would (like body tan), it doesn’t have a smell really. I will definitely use this product again and recommend trying it!

I love BB creams and looked forward to trying this one.

I wore this for five days, normally my skin tone suits medium however with this shade it was a bit orange for me, and did not blend very well. I put it on before 9 am and it had only started to lose its wear about 5pm, so it lasted all day.

I like the small amount you need and how easy it goes on, apart from been a darker shade it covered my flaws - pigmentation and a few pimples well and when I covered it with a light powder it took the dark tone right down and had a nice matte finish.

In regards to it being good for oily skin i would agree, my skin did not look or feel oily all day.

Considering it has SPF in it, it has a pleasant odor and once its on does not smell at all.

Overall I would of been very happy with this BB cream but do not think it is suited to a medium tone and will try it again in a light tone.

I love this product.It is affordable and available in any supermarket and chemist. For a BB cream, it offers light to full coverage but still manages to feel light on the skin. I used this at work and it manages to stay on without wearing off for at least 8 hours. It does control oil most of the time. It is plus points in convenience as I dont have to use concealer anymore to even it out. It is perfect for me as I am in a rush most mornings.the formula though is very runny so I have to be careful in storing and opening it. I will definitely buy this product again.
