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.

Wow, love the glow!

I was a bit sceptical using this as I have tried a few different BB creams before and was disappointed but this one really surprised me! I could notice the difference straight away. The formula is not too light but not to heavy and blended into my skin very easy. The only negative thing about this product was that it did seem to flow out of the tube quite quickly, meaning you could end up with more product then you needed.

Tips: I'm going to buy another one to keep in my bag for touch ups. Love it!

A Great Budget Buy

I was very interested to try this product, as the original Garnier BB cream was the very first BB I tried when they first appeared a few years ago.

First off, the product is very thin and runny - it dripped everywhere but luckily I was standing over the bathroom sink! This consistency does make it very easy to apply though, it blended out well and I was happy with the level of coverage one coat provided. I would quite happily wear this alone without extra concealer or powder if I was going for a natural skin look. The light shade was a good match for my NC20 skin - not too pink and not too orange, it was just right. It also suits my sister who is a shade or so lighter than me, so it is a flexible colour formula. What I was most interested in was its shine-controlling properties - 7 hrs after application there is a slight sheen to my t-zone but noticeably much less than usual, so I'd say it lives up to its claims.

Overall I thought this was a great budget-friendly buy for someone looking for an everyday BB.

Tips: Most people will probably find they need to wear a moisturiser underneath, as this is not a hydrating product.

love !

this product is so much better than any other bb cream i have used it worked very well on my skin and did go matte .my only problem was it was a little bit darker than my normal foundation is and i have the shade light . it covered my redness, scaring and it had a decent coverage the coverage is build able and it doesn't cake !. it is a very light runny liquid and a little goes a long way . it has stayed all day ! i applied it at 9 in the morning its 7pm and its still going strong . it hasn't melted anywhere it hasn't grabbed to dryer parts on my skin as many matte foundations do . i would defiantly recommend this and was very impressed with this bb cream as other ones seem to not have any coverage.

Tips: i found using a makeup blending sponge worked the best and dabbing it into my skin . instead of doing as it said on the packaging using your hands . using my hands came out quite streaky and was harder to build on .

Incredible coverage

Absolutely loved the product! I had assumed a BB cream would give less coverage, but I can totally see this replacing foundation entirely! I experimented with different applications, and found applying with a sponge over a touch of concealer (for under-eye circles) gave me best coverage for minimum product.

Tips: I did get a bit of shine later in the day, which I only get with some products, so a mattifying powder over top might be needed for some skin types.

wow

I was super excited for this trial because i had tried the original Garnier BB cream and was very disappointed as it was thick and greasy. But this was great the watery consistency made for easy application with my fingers and the coverage is great a little goes a long way. I have a lot of freckles and imperfections and it covered them almost completely with just a thin coating. when applying it had kind of a chemical smell but it was fine once applied. i have really oily skin when not wearing makeup (which causes me to break out) so i normally want to wear makeup every day but my normal foundation is to expensive.at around $19 per tube Garnier miracle skin BB cream oil-free its a good foundation for daily use especially since its SPF 15. It is perfect for those days like today where your not doing anything and just want something on or when short of time to get ready in the morning.

Tips: A little goes along way.

I liked it

The consistency of this is quite watery which caught me off guard at first. It is very easy to apply, I'm fairly casual with makeup so just use my fingers and it works fine. It doesn't have much of a fragrance which is great because quite strong fragranced products don't feel very natural. It reduces redness and the appearance of small blemishes but doesn't cover very obvious flaws and if you have dry skin in any areas the flakiness stands out. It's really light and lasts most of the day although a spare lot for touch ups wouldn't do any harm. I don't use it every day but definitely over 3 times a week and one advantage of the runny consistency is a little goes a long way so the tube easily lasts long enough to be worth it's price. The price doesn't break the bank as I am a student and is great for an easy natural looking product. I do find that the product gets around the lid because it can be fiddly to get back on and the product comes out very easily. Overall I have bought this products as a gift for a friend so would definitely recommend it.

Tips: Be careful when you first open it because it is really runny which I didn't realise and it dripped all over the place haha

Miracle skin perfector!

**NOTE- i had previously reviewed this product as a newbie to BR, thinking it was the first BB cream Garnier had put out so had unintentionally put up a false review… Anyways, here is my review on the actual product <3**

When i received this product i was a little skeptical as i had previously had a bad experience with BB creams, but was excited to see how this would work because it claims to be a 'Miracle Skin Perfector'..which is a pretty big claim. I received the light color and was pretty disappointed to see that it still is quite orange on my face. I think they should cater for more skin tones because two colors really doesn't cut it. I was surprised, however, with how well it cleared my skin and how fast it did it! I was really happy with the outcome of this oil-free one because it helped control my skins natural oils and also stayed quite matte on my skin all day. The coverage is pretty good for a light wear and is perfect for everyday use. Doesn't need a dusting of powder either, like other BB creams do. The consistency is really thin and watery, which is a bit of a shame. If it was a little bit thicker, it would be perfect.

Overall its actually a really good product! Does exactly what it says it would. The only thing that really bothers me is the fact that it Garnier isn't very inclusive of other skin types. They definitely need a lighter color and a few darker ones for the ladies who have a darker skin tone. I highly recommend it to people who suit the two colors on offer!

Tips: Apply with your fingers as a brush would make it look streaky and soak up the product because it is a thin consistency.

A good alternative.

I like this product for use when I want to use something on my face, but I don't want to use a proper foundation. This formula definitely gives more coverage than the original. My skin is quite good, I have a bit of redness and get a few pimples but nothing too bad so the coverage is enough to be like a foundation for me. My sister, who has more problem skin, likes to use this more like a primer under her foundation. It is a very runny formula, which can be difficult to use, but blends easily. I don't think that this is a wonderful product, and I prefer the original for it's ease of use during summer, but it is pretty good, and a good price. One last con is the scent, I found it very strong and a bit like alcohol.

Miracle Skin indeed

I’ve been using the Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector BB Cream in medium for the last 6 months and am completely loving it.

It’s quite a runny consistency, however applied with a foundation brush a little goes a long way and covers a lot. It smells lovely and sets well on it’s own, leaving you with a nice matte finish. I use it under foundation as a primer and on it’s own. Both ways it looks amazing. It’s great for evening out uneven skin tones and tends to brighten my dark under eye circles.

In summer it was a nice, lightweight alternative to full coverage foundation and held up well on those hot humid days. Now in winter, it’s giving me a bit of much needed colour and helping to keep me skin looking fresh and glowy.

Medium colour matches well with Olive and Polynesian skin tones.

Tips: A little goes a long way, so use it to build up coverage.

My first BB cream

I got both the light and medium shades to mix together to get my shade...but turns out I'm a just the medium. Quite a runny consistancy. More coverage than a tinted moisturiser. I've heard the normal garnier BB cream is more like tinted moisturiser so I got this on. I have fairly normal skin with the odd dry spot so I need to moisturise really well before using it. And I've started using primer under it too. Nice to use when I can't be bothered applying foundation coz I apply this with my fingers. It's a pretty good product, no scent unlike other garnier products thankfully haha.
