Garnier Skin Perfector BB Cream Oil-Free Review

I found the bb cream easy to use and that it blended well with my skin tone. It helped give my face a matte look as I usually have oily patches on my face when using some foundations. Overall very impressed with this product!

I was a little skeptical going into this trial, as my skin is problematic at the best of times. I have a very fair complexion which is often shiny and prone to breakouts. Not just the odd pimple, but consistent acne. Due to the fairness of my skin, the redness of breakouts stands out like a sore thumb. I applied the BB Cream expecting my redness to still be obvious, but I was pleasantly surprised! The cream covered the spots, and the redness went down almost completely a few minutes after application. It had my skin tone looking nice and even, and didn't leave me feeling like I was wearing a mask. I just had to put on some pressed powder and I was ready and confident to face the world. The cream has a nice smooth consistency, which goes on much easier than a liquid foundation. It is absorbed readily into the skin and doesn't need heavy buffing into problem areas. I found that only a very small amount of product is needed to cover the entire face, which makes it a very economical product. After this trial, I am definitely a BB Cream convert. It is so easy to use, and leaves the skin looking even and smooth. I'm definitely going to be keeping this in my makeup kit!

I was sceptical about the idea of a mattifying BB cream for oily skin but I was pleasantly surprised. There is no noticeable fragrance and the cream is surprisingly liquidy so make sure you keep the tube upright when you're using it but this consistency makes it quite easy to apply. I like applying the product with my fingers but I do use a makeup sponge to add a little extra around my nose and to smooth out any patchiness. The first time I applied it I think I used too much because a little goes a looooong way but once I mastered the application I found it had a nice light coverage which can easily be built up as much as you like. I felt like it covered up my redness and left me with a lovely matte finish that lasted almost all day (I have a tendency to rub my face). I feel like it's definitely worth the price which isn't much compared to other products and lasts forever since you only need a little bit everyday. The packaging is nice and simple and looks like other garnier products with black and green on the box and a nice flesh tone on the tube. The only negative thing I can think of is that I have seriously pale skin (yay winter) and even though I chose the light colour, I thought it was a little dark for me but a little pale finishing powder made a huge difference and I'm sure it will be spot on in Summer. All in all I would say that if you have oily skin that normal foundation slides off then this the product for you. I love it.

I went into this trial the biggest of skeptics.

Now you are preaching to the converted! Or whatever that saying is! I absolutely LOVE this cream - the difference it made was actually pretty amazing.

I applied it with my hands, thinking of it as like a foundation. And after a few days of that, didn't even want to use my foundation again.

I wear makeup about once a month, so not often, but when I do, I can do it well (one of my very small talents is applying my warpaint!)

This cream with just some mascara really changed how I feel about wearing an every day face now.

It's so smooth to apply, it's not heavy, it's soft, I actually got told that I looked like I was glowing by our office administrator. And that was weird to hear. Felt like I was in an ad and no one had told me so I didn't have the right reply to graciously accept that compliment ("whatever, you are!")

The single only downfall with this product is that it is runny. Boy oh boy, is it runny! This is going to be something I may keep in a bag - the lid is already packed with excess cream, rushing to get out and onto my face.

Dispite this, I couldn't rate it higher or be a newly converted BB fan!

Ps it came off really nicely too, unlike some foundations where you feel like it's still on your face even after washing. My skin still felt really nice after taking it off!

I found this product to be amazing! It went on easily and gave the look of a full foundation. I had numerous people compliment me on my skin and were surprised when i told them that all i was wearing was BB Cream! The only thing i would say is i am quite white and the light color i had was still a bit too dark for my skin and also it was quite runny so you have to be careful when opening this. I have found an improvement in my skin as i have hardly any shine now and this is all i wear daily. I fully recommend this product to anyone who has oily skin :)

My first very impresion of this product was based on the packaging and i thought it was really nice, clean but detailed and convincing..full of promises.. Sweet change, this product for me totally delivered. My biggest skin problem with my face is large pores and this product after only one application majorly minimized my pores and made my skin look actually perfect. When i first applied the BB cream i thought it was too dark to be medium, my skin tone is definately medium and the cream made me look slightly Jersy Shore at first, but it seemed to over time (about an hour) blend naturally with my skin tone. Also i after i applied the BB cream i applied a whole heap of other stuff that it blended easily with; blush, bronzer, finishing polish, eye-shadow.This is one of the best BB creams i've ever used it feels light on the skin, gives a flawless porcelain finish, it's quality stuff basically. Unless i come across something better in the meantime i will probably go to buy this BB cream the next time i need some!

Initially I tried the 'normal skin' BB cream and really didn't like the oily finish it left on my skin. Since trying the 'oil-free' version I am in love. It's quite runny so not as easy to apply with your fingers as the 'normal' version, but the coverage is good. During the week I use it as a primer under my foundation and during the weekend on it's own. I love the natural finish and it doesn't leave my skin oily or shiny. Would be great if they could make the consistency a little bit thicker, but other than that it's perfect and does everything it claims.

I got the oil-free, light version which was a perfect shade for me (I use Revlon Colourstay in shade 220 at the moment). I have tried a couple of BB cream samples in the past, but never really understood what all the fuss was about. I am now a convert! It is quite a runny formula, and you don't need to apply very much. During the week and if I went out, I used it under my foundation. I the weekend when I didn't have much planned, I used it by itself. Both applications worked well and lasted throughout the day. My skin definitely looked clearer. A good friend that I see a few times a week commented on the first day that my skin looked amazing and asked what had I done differently. This is a product I will continue to use regularly as I love the result.

I had really bad skin towards the end of last year. So i really looked to BB creams which were hydrating and provided enough coverage so i didn't have to use a foundation because i wanted to give my skin a break. I have now gone through two tubes of this stuff. I am really impressed by it. so hydrating and provides amazing coverage for a BB cream!

I use this quite alot and most of the time I am satisfied with the coverage that i wont use a foundation. I would say that it gives me a matte finish. Only thing i will say is that its a liquid formula so its tends to run everywhere out of the tube-If held upside down for to long.

I have a great foundation, however by the end of the day it has certainly started to wear off and lose coverage. After using this cream before application it held all day and it got rid of some of those freckles that just never stay hidden. Was pleasantly surprised at just how well it worked. Love that it doesnt make my skin oily either. Would definitely recommend
