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.

Unsure

I liked the product for a quick weekend fix, however I have very pale skin and have found the light to still be far too dark. I doesn't cover spots but it reduce the look of them. It worked great on reducing the general redness I have around my nose and it did even out skin tone quite well. I prefer the oil free one of the oil included one.

Tips: Good for weekend or light coverage, great someone with good skin already just looking to hide shine or even out variations in tone.

Disappointed

I brought this product thinking that it would help conceal and clear up my spots. It did help cover them but I find d this product makes my skin feel oily. It makes my skin look shiny. I'm on the fence with this product. I'll keep using it to give it another chance but it is not my favourite product.

Recommend!

I really like this BB Cream. I usually wear foundation most of time but I find this great in Summer when you don't feel like putting on a face full of makeup, putting on after i've showered at the gym or on weekends. I'm unsure of the long term effects as advertised as I don't use regularly enough to notice at the moment but it's a great alternative to foundation and gives my skin a bit of a glow & colour that it needs. Definitely recommended giving it a go.

Tips: I find it goes on a lot nicer & looks better if you apply with a foundation brush.

Great product!

I started using the Garnier BB Cream about 6 months ago and i'm in love! It goes on smoothly and my foundation stays on a lot longer when i have the BB cream on underneath. It also makes my skin feel moisturized and healthy compared to some other BB Creams i have tried. I will keep repurchasing this product for sure!

Garnier BB cream

I really enjoyed this product. I have quite good skin and this evens out any small pigmentation issues I have. I have found the coverage better than most BB creams, and I wore it to work instead of my Revlon colourstay for several days and the only difference was that it faded a bit earlier and also did seem to oxidise a small amount.

BB creams are supposed to improve your skin. I don't think that is the case with this one as the coverage is so great for a BB cream, so I treat it just as a lighter coverage foundation and apply with a foundation brush. I really enjoy it and was surprised how similar to a foundation it was. I'll repurchase this, happily!

Tips: Don't wear moisturiser under this product, as it will slip and slide off your face. Application is best with a foundation brush to get a great finish.

Didn't live up to expectations

I originally bought this product (normal to oily version for my combination skin) to take on holiday to Thailand - I love the idea of getting some type of coverage without wearing full make up. For this purpose it worked absolutely perfectly.

For anything else, i.e. wearing daily to replace regular make up (especially if you usually wear medium-heavy coverage), this isn't what it's intended for and it definitely doesn't work for me. Using a powder over top definitely prolongs the wear, however I definitely don't believe it can be used in the place of foundation. By the end of the day I feel like I'm not wearing anything and feel that awful slightly greasy, slick feeling.

Not a fan of the oil-free bb cream

I have tried both this and its non-oil-free counterpart when I bought one of each (one for me and one for my sister). Straight away I found that the oil-free version dried out my skin. This isn't the only oil-free product that does this so I wasn't really surprised (hence I bought the non-oil-free version as well). I didn't like the drying out effect this product had so I have not used it again.

I like the Garnier BB creams however much prefer the non-oil-free version of this product as it seemed to suit my skin better. Wouldn't use the oil-free version again, but I continue to use the non-oil-free version (as a foundation under powder for not too heavy coverage).

Tips: If you find the oil-free version dries out your skin, give the non-oil-free version a go as I found this wasn't as bad in the drying out department (nor was it too oily)!

Garnier Oil Free Version

Not heavy at all on the skin but in saying that the oily skin version is very runny. It does blend nicely and does give a matte finish, not for the entire working day though. Not full coverage like foundation (obviously) but covers redness and imperfections nicely. I think I will keep using it in place of foundation as I do feel my skin can breathe a little more with BB cream. I have only tried this BB cream and the Skin79 BB cream and this one if by far my favorite out of the two!

Tips: Use underneath foundation for more coverage and set with a powder so your face lasts longer though out the day :)

I find it dries out my skin

I have quite dry skin, so I need to use two moisturisers at present. When I put this on over the top of my moisturisers, throughout the course of the day it dries out the skin around my mouth and nose in particular, and doesn't necessarily work well with powder-based products (i.e. blush). Not a huge foundation wearer so a BB cream is ideal for me. Unfortunately with supermarket brands like this, they only have to put in about 10% of the actual product and the rest is chemical. So I think I'll fork out a bit more and buy something with a good reputation.

Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector BB Cream

I have been using this product for a while now, I have been having issues with oily patches on my face/shine during the day so thought I would give this a go. This is the first BB Cream I have ever used, and I usually apply a small amount over my face followed by a light foundation and setting powder. I find it has helped, but not to the extent I thought it would have. I would be interested to try some others and see how it compares.
