Garnier Skin Perfector BB Cream Anti Ageing Review

This review isn’t going to be about the “miracle cream that changed my life” – in 6 days of use it’s a big ask and a bit difficult to tell whether it really has reduced my wrinkles and left me with firmer skin (and if I didn’t notice, then nobody else commented on how I’d knocked 10 years off my appearance either!)…but I WILL tell you why I liked it and why I’ll be buying it myself when I’ve used this review tube.

I use a tinted moisturiser as my daily foundation, and was interested to see how the Garnier product would fare. First thing I noticed was the pleasant smell – much better than both the salon and supermarket brand products I have used in the past.

The product also had a pleasing, thick creamy feel to it, as opposed to a slightly thinner, watery consistency of another brand I have used. It spreads in nicely and actually feels like there is something there doing its job of moisturising and covering your skin.

The tint (light) was a good match for my winter colouring…and even when I applied too much and had to work at blending it in, I didn’t look like I’d been into the fake tan! Speaking of which (and I’m still trying to get the application correct), don’t use too much, a little really does give good coverage so you don’t need to plaster it on.

Once blended in, it has a moisturising feel to it that I much preferred over another brand I have used which tends to ‘dry’ on your skin to a powdery finish. I have a couple of blemishes on my face and the product gave good coverage of those without me feeling I should also apply a concealer.

If I had to find a negative, it’s not with the product itself, but with the packaging. What I didn’t like so much was the fact that the plastic cap felt a bit brittle – I have the clumsy gene and am prone to dropping several items per day and I just know that this will end up on the bathroom tiles soon…and when it does I bet the lid will crack. A shame that it isn’t the same type of softer plastic that toothpaste tubes lids are made from.

i like a face cream with a tint this was easy to put on and i didnt need to use alot i would go out to buy this. my skin fells soft and i think the lines on my forehead arnt as deep as were

I found this product to be very light weight and having really good coverage. The shade I got was to dark for my complection, yet I found if I kept working the product into my face it looked much better. My face never got greasy during the day. It was a lovely product to use and I would buy it again.

Loved using this product!!!! I don't have much a beauty regime most days it's just a bit of moisturiser, so this was perfect for me adding a little coverage to hide the redness.. Only negative was it felt quite oily your start with but seemed to absorb quickly

I have starting to develop a couple of age spots? Still have a normal skin but thought that I would have to start treating these spots asap. They really unflattering I found the Consistency of the BB nice and creamy not watery like some other I tried - also tried different application methods and have found the best way it ti apply it with my foundation brush by stippling and the using a make up sponge to smooth it over. I use this BB cream as a good base for my normal foundation - mousse. also found it seems to assist in blending contouring better then just base alone. It does not have much of a smell and reduce a lot of the redness on my face (winter) when wearing the BB cream on its own - found it really easy to smooth out over my skin. The coverage is quite sheer and I found i could wear it alone iver weekends or after hours with just some lipgloss and mascara. Used it every day for nearly two weeks and quite sure it will last for another 2-3 weeks. Price wise I have found it quite afforable compared to other BB creams on the market because of its versatility I think the price is really well worth it The squeese tube upside down holder is really handy to keep the product easy to use but i do think the carton is a bit of a waste I do believe the product works well and in line with what Garnier claims it to do and will definately recommend it to friends an d have bought some for my 18 year old daughter and have also one for my 60 year old mother who gave it a try when visiting - they were both impressed

I am 40 years old and just started using makeup again since my early 20's and a lot of the foundations I use make my skin feel as if it is dry and it's hard to apply but this Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector BB Cream - Anti Ageing was easy to apply it felt smooth on my skin and didn't dry out my skin. I am quite lucky to not have wrinkle yet but Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector BB Cream - Anti Ageing gave my skin a natural glow.

I really liked the coverage this Garnier BB cream gave me as I'm in my (early) 40's and have noticeable crows feet/laugh line wrinkles around my eyes. I used this BB cream over the top of my moisturiser (as I need as much hydration as I can get these days ;-). It is easy to apply, not too runny and I didn't notice any obvious smell. I used my fingers to rub this in and it did appear a little too shiny for my liking so I used a light coverage of powder over the top. One application is a good amount of coverage for an average day but not enough for a special occasion. I didn't try putting on two applications but I'll try that to see if it would be enough coverage for going out. It did even out my skin tone and felt quite light which is a positive. Being a light coverage helps with the anti ageing as heavy creams can obviously make those wrinkles stand out even more. My skin still felt good after a full day of wearing it - it felt hydrated and not too dry or oily. The packaging states that it 'contains sunscreen' on the front but I think it would be more useful if they specified that it is SPF15 as many products tend to do these days. I like to know the exact amount of protection at first glance and it does influence my choice of product. It also states that it can make skin appear smoother or plumper after 4 weeks use so I will be keen to see how my skin is after this amount of use. Overall the packaging is quite appealing and informative. I saw it at the supermarket today on sale for approximately $10 - I would be happy to pay that amount of money for it but will wait until I've finished using the full 50ml to see if I would be happy to pay $17 for it.

I have vitiligo on my forehead and temples also I have sun damage on my right cheek. An oily T zone with dry patches.

I liked that the cream was thick and smooth to apply to my skin, first starting with my forehead, I smoothed it over blending the cream in and down over my nose and cheeks, chin around my lips. I was surprised at how well it covered the areas where I have the vitiligo and sun damage. My skin looked flawless. As I applied it, I notice the scent of the cream, refreshingly herbal and light. Very pleasant. The fragrance faded away quickly. My skin looked smooth and felt moisturised for a long period of time and stayed on all day till I took my make up off at the end of the day. I found I didn't need to apply it heavily to achieve coverage. I used the size of a peanut of the cream to spread all over my face, so I think this product would last me a long time. I think it would economical. I think it was well priced for under $20.00. I have bought tinted moisturiser cheaper than this but I didn't give the coverage that this product did. I will continue to use it to see if it helps improve the appearance of my fine lines. I liked reading the packaging as it is. The snap top works was well, pops and clicks shut. I chose light, it suited my skin tone and blended in well into my skin. My neighbour had bought it before and said she thought it was very good.
