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 BB Cream

I have very 'normal' skin and this BB cream is an absolute dream! I use it far more regularly than a foundation and find the coverage perfect. It is not at all clogging or oily. If looking for a light tint for everyday use this is perfect!

Argh ;P

Absolutely annoyed with this product mainly due to the packaging -_- The BB cream would pour out and leak and make a total mess even when the lid is tightly closed. The coverage is average, very sheer and light wear. Not to my liking at all. Would not recommend it.

Combination Skin Peeps; T-ZONE ONLY!

This does a great job to combat the oily T-Zone. However, I've got combination skin, so found this was a BIG NO NO for all over the face! It was so drying to a point where it felt damaging. Also- the tone was a wee bit too pink for me.

Tips: Combination Skin peeps: Use only where skin is oily. Definitely opt for another BB/ tinted moisturiser/ foundation for the rest of your face. Trust me.

Quite likeable

This was my first bb cream that I opted to try, mainly because I didn't know of any others on the market. When I first got it I thought it was great, and to some extent I still do (though I now prefer the Maybelline Dream Pure). With one layer it is a light-medium coverage but with two it could be built to medium tops. I think this is pretty great for a bb cream though as it's purpose isn't full coverage, that is what a foundation is for. I apply one layer of mine with my fingers (or a sponge when I want lighter coverage) which speeds up my makeup routine significantly. Then I just go over any spots with concealer and this gives me the non cakey look I like. I read somewhere that this is supposed to be better at oil control without a powder but I am reluctant to try that as I have very oily skin. There are not many colours in this but fortunately the light shade just works for me.

Tips: Even if you have oily skin I would recommend moisturizing before this. Otherwise it applies really tacky and can sometimes even make your skin look dry and powdery.

Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector BB Cream Oil-free

I love this BB Cream! I have never used a BB cream that gave so much coverage before! But the thing I love most is the matte finish. I have super oily skin so I'm always looking for products that keep me matte which this did! I love the finish. Only thing is the light shade is a bit too pale for me now that it's summer and medium is way too dark. They definitely need to bring out so more shades.

Tips: Apply very quickly with a brush. Since it dries matte if you leave it for too long then go to blend it in it will cake up. Also if you have dry skin or dry patches then stay away from this as it clings to dry patches.

BB Cream

I didn't really like this BB cream mostly because the Light shade didn't really match my skin colour (I am very pale!), so it gave me an orangey look which is not so attractive...I also found the liquid very runny and goes everywhere if you squeeze the tube just a little bit. However, these reasons are quite trivial and I can appreciate the fact that this product is probably perfect for someone else! (Just not me!)

I like it.... a lot!

I got this when it was new on the market and mine doesn't have SPF15 on the tube, so I'm guessing Garnier has changed the formula since then.

Anyway, back to the product! I've been using this for about a year now and have not gotten any new foundation product or BB cream since then. The texture is light and a bit on the runny side but that does not bother me at all (even though it means a bit goes waste every time I use it because it just oozes easily out of the tube). Because of its light texture, it means I can apply a second layer and it still looks natural and translucent. Perfect for those prefer a natural look and people with no serious blemishes as it is only light coverage.

I basically use it as a foundation and here's my routine: day cream > sunscreen > Garnier Miracle BB oil free > minimum concealer > loose powder to set > eyeshadow+lips+cheeks.

I have combination to dry skin, but this oily free formula doesn't not dry out my skin at all. I'm also prone to breakouts and have no issue whatsoever with this.

Tips: I have light-beige skin tone and the Medium works fine in Summer but as I would like to use this product all year round I actually purchased both Light and Medium to be able to mix and create the perfect tone for my skin. It is not an expensive product by any means, so give it a try!

best buy

I'm a big fan of BB creams and use them daily to even out my skin tone and obtain a light coverage. Although I don't have particularly oily skin, I decided to give this product a try as I wasn't always happy with the BB creams for normal skin I was buying. I found this particular product to be much thinner and easier to blend with my makeup brush without the streaks I was getting from other BB creams. I also found it left my skin looking much less shiny and in need of so much powder - I find this can be a bit of a problem for normal skin types of BB cream and prefer a more matte look. I didn't experience any irritation and there is no harsh chemical fragrance. The consistency of the cream is thinner than most BB creams I've tried and it blends easily into the neck and hairline. My tube has lasted me about 4 months and I use it most days - it's so good for everyday use and unlike a good foundation, it doesn't break the bank!!!

Tips: I find it best to use a foundation brush to apply this

BB Cream

I love this BB Cream because it is so natural looking and my skin often dries out quickly but with this product my skin still feels soft at the end of the day. Love it!
