Garnier Skin Perfector BB Cream Review

I bought this cream as it said it matches your skin tone, along with many other benefits. The cream is white and should change to perfectly match skin tone, according to the blurb. It instantly turned my skin orange. Odd, I thought, but maybe it's just my sensitive skin. Application was a challenge as it's an odd texture and doesn’t blend or absorb well, although I tried different, gentle ways of applying (dry and damp sponges, fingers, etc). It looks clumpy and cakey on my skin, clogging large pores. Further attempts at trying to blend it only causes it to rub off like skin peel. Removing it and starting from scratch, using minimal amount improved the application and blending process, but the effect was far from natural, and diminished rapidly.

I passed this cream onto a friend's daughters, all of whom had the same issues with it. Safe to say, the product is not ideal and I can't recommend it,

I don't recommend this product if you have sensitive skin. I usually don't have sensitive skin but the second I applied this it burned. My cheeks went bright red & my skin burned to he touch. Aside from the reaction it didn't cover the face very well it was very patchy and very oily. It was hard to blend and would keep moving even with setting powder.

This BB cream makes me wonder what Garnier’s definition of ‘perfect’ is. I always got really inconsistent results and was left looking either greasy or streaky, or both if I was having a real bad day. I would much rather go out bare faced, with a face full of bad acne then put this anywhere near my skin again.
