I tried one of the Garnier BB Creams a year or so ago and while it was pretty good, I wasn't 100 per cent convinced: hence the reason I ended up switching to another more expensive brand.
My biggest gripe back then was that my skin felt like there was thick makeup layered on it. Fast forward to 2014 and this new breed of BB Cream is awesome! It goes on smoothly and absorbs beautifully, leaving no residue or streaks. It blended in perfectly with my quite pale (an often hard to match to foundations) skintone.
I'm in my late 40s but have pretty good skin. One of the reasons I think I've managed to avoid a lot of the wrinkles is that I've always taken the use of sunscreens seriously. It's so nice to find a BB Cream that has a grunty sunscreen built in, that doesn't make my skin look orange, and that doesn't make me itchy (a common result of makeups with sunscreen for me).
The result is that your skin looks polished without looking too made up ... and you're ready to face the day in just a matter of minutes.
Aside from all that, this also left my normally quite dry skin feeling hydrated and smooth.
I will be switching back to Garnier from now on!
I absolutely love this product as a 50+ woman. It goes on so well and you definitely do not need a lot for good coverage. It covers redness and unevenness and I feel more confident wearing it . It's light, your skin still breathes and it has a fresh look. Added bonus is the sunscreen factor which is something we still need even in winter. My daughter wants to use it too and she has beautiful, youthful skin. Looks good on her too but really suits a maturer skin. Very affordable and a great product for value. Will definitely be using this for a long time.
Tips: Don't put too much on a little goes a long way. Spread evenly on your skin. Ideal for fair skin.
