Garnier Skin Perfector BB Cream Anti Ageing Review

I have used a couple of the Garnier BB creams over the last two years, and have always been happy with them. They are a very reasonably priced option. As a 37 year old woman, I am constantly in search of an anti-Aging product that doesn't cause too many breakouts... Unfortunately during the last 10 days I have noticed some issues with pimples. In saying that I do like the coverage and feel of this one compared to their oil-free bb cream. The consistency is quite thick, which I find helps in applying it, as it doesn't drip through your fingers. It has a pleasant unobtrusive smell, and successfully evened out my skin tone. I sometimes used it on its own, and sometimes under a mineral powder for a more polished look.

First thing I noticed about this cream was the scent. It was quite pleasant, but strong for a makeup. I felt that it was a bit overpowering, especially seeing as it is going on the face. However, after half an hour I didn't notice it any more, or it had dissipated.

The cream went on smoothly and blended very easily. I had the 'light' tint but I have very fair skin, and especially pale in winter and found it to be a little too dark for my colour. It did even out the overall colouring, and the finer lines of my face without being too heavy. It felt nice and light and my skin felt it could still breathe.

Couldn't rate how effective the SPF was as we have had no sun!

I can't say that my skin felt any firmer or appeared less wrinkly than using my usual moisturiser, but it did feel nice to use.

Great little product, I don't have great skin, very sensitive / combination skin, so was a bit worried it would make me break out but No!!! Creamy product goes on smooth, sheer to medium coverage that lasts all day (9ish hours) great for those days I didn't need to have a full made up face : ) love also that is has a SPF. Light fragrance when applying. Would definitely use again, good price compared to other BB creams I've tried. I've only been using a week so can't tell if the anti-wrinkle properties are working yet..?

I'm a fan of BB creams and this one really performed. I tried the Light colour and my initial impression was that the colour was heaps darker than other brands I've tried (Nivea, Cover Girl, Maybelline) and wouldn't work well with my pale redhead skin. My 49-year old skin has an oily T-zone with dry, reddish cheeks and the colour blended in surprisingly well, providing enough coverage to even out my complexion and cover my large pores. The cream is quite thick but doesn't make you feel like you have a faceful of 'slap' on your skin. I do prefer a matte look and dusted translucent powder over the top. By the end of the day my skin did not feel as oily as it did with other BB creams I've used. The cream smells somewhat like cold tea - quite fresh and not highly perfumed, which I liked. I'll reserve judgement on Garnier's claims of firming my skin and reducing wrinkles - can't say I noticed any difference after a week of use, but perhaps that may happen with extended use (one can hope!). Definitely will keep using this product; great value for money.

I was really impressed by this product. What I liked about it was that it was easy to apply and simplified my routine making it a great product to take away on holiday. I liked the mousse like consistency and the fact that me skin was still moist by the end of the day which is a boon when working in air conditioning. My only problems were that it reacted on my skin after a few days but happily I see that there is one for sensitive skin which I will definitely be trying. The colour was my other concern the medium being a bit too orange for me but in summer it may be fine. I am excited to try the one for sensitive skin

I really like this BB, it goes on nicely and has a good even coverage. I used the light version but I think I could have used the darker shade but it should be fine for winter. A great every day BB when you don't want to apply a foundation as well.

I had never used a BB cream before so wasn't sure what to expect.

I have a fairly normal skin type - at different times can be a little combination like but is generally just normal with no concerns.

I found the BB Cream to have a creamy consistency which made it easy to apply - I applied the BB cream like I would a typical moisturiser and then blended into my skin. I found it felt light on my skin and didn't feel like I had "make up" on as such. It didn't feather or cake up in any areas on my face which I was pleased about. I only used one application on my face so didn't use it for concealing as such so was really a sheer appearance although I did notice that it lasted a good 8 hours on my skin without any difference in appearance.

Overall I was pleased with my first experience with a BB cream - I'm not convinced that it does everything that it claims to such as reducing fine lines but that could take a little longer to achieve.

Although I believe this is priced competitively, I don't think I would pay $17.49 for this product for myself although this may change if more positive changes to my skin's appearance happen by the time I have finished this trial product.

The packaging was nothing extraordinary but clearly shows product to be a Garnier one which is the biggest draw card as they are a good brand.

I am not sure if I would recommend to a friend but would definitely share my positive experiences, which would most definitely be the fact that it goes on just like a moisturiser while having the benefit of sheer tinted coverage, without feeling like your skin can't breathe (as I have found with many foundations over the years).

Thank you for the opportunity to trial this product.
