Garnier Skin Perfector BB Cream Anti Ageing Review

I have two of these, one in light in the tube pictured, and one in medium which is a different formula. The light one I found to be more creamy and thicker in consistency but sat a little dry and cakey on my skin - and I have dry skin anyway so used a primer but still dried out around my nose. The medium shade is thiner (so is the tube) and easier to apply and it sits a lot nicer on my skin and I don't need to use a primer for that one. So all up, it's a bit hit-and-miss but I won't be buying the lighter shade formula again, the newer formula works much better for me.

When I first tried this BB cream, I thought it was quite good, but then noticed that when your skin is not looking so good as mine tends to, you find the coverage it gives you is not quite what you need to cover up those blemishes. Its a great tinted moisturiser that can cover up some redness, but if you're looking for excellent coverage, unfortunately I probably would go to something else.

Thanks to this wonderful site (BR) and the fantastic group of ladies on it - I was able to trial this product for free. So for a freebie, I'm very happy with it. I agree it's perhaps better for people with dryer, more mature skin and as that's me - it works well. I do like the smell (albeit a little strong), it is quite thick, but does go on smoothly and blends well. I was surprised at how dark the medium is (almost looks like a fake tan) but once on it does blend nicely and coming into summer I believe it'll be just right for a more tanned look. I would describe it more like a tinted moisturiser rather than a BB though.

I don't like this BB cream too much and being that this is the first BB cream I have ever used that's highly disappointing... First off I am not pasty or super pale, yes im fair skinned but im not the lightest shade id consider myself light to medium to be honest... I went for light and this was oompa loompa orange.. WAY too dark for a 'light' colour.. Secondly the coverage wasn't good at all.. It gives you a bronzed look but that's about it, it wears like a tinted moisturizer rather than what it claims to do as a BB cream. Its quite thick and oily and easy enough to apply but the coverage and colouring just isn't right.. I wouldn't have been very unimpressed if I purchased this to be honest.

So I am really glad I got to try this product for free, as if I had purchased it I would be very disappointed. The smell is very overwhelming so strongly scented which I don't like in a face cream. I wore this product under powder and I tried it with a couple of different ones, and of top of a moisturiser that makes oily skin more matte, it was still very very dewy looking. It was slightly warm on the days I wore it and I really felt like it was going to slide of my face. I don't think it instantly firmed my skin, and I guess because of the dewy finish it might make more mature skin look younger however it made me look like I had been for a light jog. I got it in light, and its still a little dark for me, I would say it would be nice in winter as it feels very moisturising but I am quite pale in winter so maybe not. Might be good for the beach as it has SPF but hmmmm I may look like sweat city but I hate wasting products so maybe it will be perfect for cooler days. I had to Laugh when I read on the US site that for best results you should use the product twice a day

This BB cream is quite thick compared to the "oil free" version. I find this is more like a tinted moisturiser than a BB cream. It is quite easy to apply and is good for a day when you want only light coverage.

I bought this from The Warehouse and it had it labelled as the "Sensitive" version of this product but under the label it had "Anti-aging" on the tube, which was a bit confusing. I'm not sure if these products are one and the same?

Agree with a lot of the other reviews here. It's a light coverage (so for me works well for popping on for 'everyday' wear rather than if I want a full coverage). The light shade is reasonably dark - blends well enough with my pale-ish skin though so didn't bother me too much. I tend to use it every 3rd day so haven't noticed break outs but I think next time round I'd be buying the oil free just in case.

This is different to all the other bb creams I've tried. Garnier bb cream smells lovely. It smells like all garnier products. I won this bb cream through their Facebook, I personally wouldn't buy it as it doesn't have much coverage. This bb cream is more of a tinted mositurizer. The bb cream is very light and easy to apply. It isn't overly oily. The packaging is great, but bottle lead is at the bottom so the product comes out easily. Overall the product is okay.

I enjoy using a BB cream however this one I find rather greasy when you first apply it which probably is to do with the spf in it. You sort of feel like you need to use more of it but it takes forever to rub in

this BB cream is interesting. They only have a light or a medium choice. While I would not say my skin is dark is not really light either - so you would think medium would be perfect. I found that it goes on VERY dark. It did settle some but I did feel like it stayed perhaps a tad too dark for a medium complexion. I agree with some of the other reviews that it doesn;t give as great a coverage as I have had with other BB creams. So over all it's just OK

*Update: I used this again today & I loved it. I dont know why but today it settled perfectly into my skin leaving it glowing & firm. I added a touch of bronzer & I had a flawless look all day.
