Garnier Skin Perfector BB Cream Anti Ageing Review

Having never used a BB cream before I was super excited to try this one! The packaging is very cluttered, it certainly wouldn't stand out in the supermarket aisle as something I would look at twice. Perhaps there's scope to simplify the box and put some of the factual info in a leaflet or on the tube? On first try the cream looks really thick and I was a little apprehensive but it smoothed out in my hands and glided on smoothly. My skin tone looked much more even after application but I did find that it made my parts of my face felt a little oily. I held of writing this review until the very very last minute hoping to see some signs of the MIRACLE anti aging but alas no :( All in all it's easy to use, smells great and I'd buy it again to use when I'm rushing and need something quick and also to use under my "going out" makeup as a base :)

As a woman in her early 40's I am naturally interested in a cream that can assist my skin to hold off the signs of ageing, so I was really pleased to trial the Garnier BB Cream. Overall my skin is usually pretty good, with a slightly oily t-section at times. I am prone to breakouts though, as my hormones work their way through getting older - joy! I have some freckling around my cheekbone area, so I was hopeful that the promise on the box of correcting blemishes would come true.

The consistency of the cream looks heavy and thick, but it is surprisingly light, goes on well, with good coverage. I applied it just with my fingers and I found that it is true that less is more. I only needed a small amount to cover my face. I found the fragrance of the cream very pleasant, and not overpowering. The fragrance didn't seem to conflict with other scents I applied (e.g. perfume), it is a light floral scent.

I found the product covered well, however I was disappointed that it didn't really deliver what it promised, as my blemishes were still evident and not corrected, as promised. I also didn't feel my skin tone was even, as stated on the box. Having said that I did feel my skin was hydrated well, without feeling moist or greasy.

I did feel the product lasted the majority of the day, with only one issue where I had applied it one morning very early, before travelling, and around mid-afternoon it was pointed out to me that the cream had gathered along the lines around my eyes and was actually emphasising my wrinkles, rather than reducing them. It was embarrassing, but easily fixed by smoothing out with my fingertips.

Price wise this product is at my local supermarket for under $20 and I think it is well worth that, and a bit of a bargain. Because of the little amount you need to use it will last for many applications and therefore is very economical.

The packaging is a bit "busy" with alot of information on it, however it is appropriate for the product and when you are trying to decide which product is for you while standing in the supermarket aisle, this will make your decision so much easier.

I have only been using the product for a week, but so far overall I am happy with how it makes my skin feel. It doesn't necessarily deliver on all that it promises, but it seems a great base to the rest of my make-up regime. I like that it contains sunscreen, and I wonder if longer term use may assist in correcting my blemishes and evening out my skin tone, and eventually the better hydration may reduce the production of wrinkles in the least.

I would recommend it to a friend if they were looking for an economical BB cream to wear as a base as part of their skin care regime.

I love the natural mineral illumination this product gives. Some of the more expensive BB creams use glittering minerals but this doesn't its so very natural. Unfortunately I don't like the shine, I prefer a matte finish but on the plus side I did experience the long lasting moisturizing that it gives all day. Its great that it has spf15 and it did definitely tighten my skin and gives a sheer luminous look. This product does do what it says. I will have to try the oily/combination one.

Can I start this by saying ow happy I was that it fit in my make up bag - yay!! Small victories people! Anyway..... I wore this all week before making my decision on this. Shall we start with the pros?

It is light weight and feels like you are wearing nothing at all which is a bonus because if you are wearing make up all day you do not want to feel like your face is caked on. It covered my pimple lightly and didn't cause a whole new break out (like new products tend to do to my face). However if I was having a bad break out I would need more than just this bb cream.

Personally I liked the slightly growly look it gave me - it probably would suit me better in summer as I like that shiny/ sparkly look more then and prefer a matte look in winter. So I think I will return to this product in warmer months. Another reason it makes for a great summer make up is that it is so quick to apply and has SPF in it and we all know that sunblock helps prevent ageing (not to mention this product also aids in anti ageing).

My cons for the product are that I am VERY pale (so those of you who are not pale probably do not have this problem) and if you do not blend properly you will know about it. SO blend. I mixed it on the back of my hand day one and it was soooo dark on my hand hahaha.

Another con was that I found it didn't wear as long as I wanted and I would need to retouch if I was heading out after work.

Over all I was very happy with this product and will be using it for everyday wear to work during the summer months because it is quick easy and light weight.

As for the anti ageing part - I figure it needs more than one week to work so watch this space ;)

Over the past few days I have been visiting someone in hospital and found useing Garnier BB cream very quick and easy as no waiting around for moisturiser to dry then applying my normal foundation. It went on very easily and I loved the texture, however I found it quite orange which was a shame ,would I use it on a daily basis ....No.. noticed it turning patchy around my nose and mouth area which wasn't a good look, but would definetly use it in summer on our boat as it has a sunscreen and also just the right amount of coverage for me.

My skin is usually fairly normal. I found the coveragewas good except it was abit powdery in some areas. I couldn't really tell if it made my skin look different but I could definitely smell it and didnt feel the need to apply more during the day and It smelt great. Don't think I would buy this product at this price maybe more around the $12 mark. I would recommend it I havent tried other bb creams but I like this.

I'm not exactly sure how I feel about Garnier's Miracle Skin Perfector BB Cream - Anti Aging.. It's a great product for many reasons.. but something just doesn't feel quite right with it.

First of all, Ill discuss all the things I love about it.. for example, I love the coverage. BB creams are normally, or what I thing, a light to medium coverage. This definitely gave me a medium to full coverage, while still remaining quite fresh and light.

I loved the products consistency.. It was nice and thick and was easy to apply. I tried blending with a beauty blender but found that method didn't work as well.. So a stippling brush or fingers were my other alternatives and they worked great.

The packaging is fantastic - real simple and classic Garnier style. I love the cap top so you can squeeze every last bit of product out.

I think what I didn't like about it was the colour. I bought this in Light/Clair but found it was still a bit dark and orange for my complexion. If the shade selection was wider than I could see this becoming a staple in my collection.

Again, great product but the colouring was a bit off. Definitely the light was too dark for me. I would recommend this for darker skinned beauties!

I quite liked this product but I found that it didn't stay on very long.It looked great in the morning when I had first put it on but by half way through the day it didn't even look like I was wearing anything at all. Besides that I like the coverage of this product and how easily it goes on so I must see what I can do about how long it lasts.

This BB cream actually works for me. Since I have dry skin putting my normal foundation on with the Garnier BB cream on underneath as a base makes a great finnish. It evens out my skin tone and makes my skin less dry. Looks great but may try other BB creams to see if theres a better one.
