I suffer from patches of vitiligo on my face as well as rosacea so was looking forward to trying Garnier's SkinActive BB cream. It comes in a tube with a flip lid and is easy to apply with your fingers. The cream comes out white and when applied blends in to your skin colour and the shade itself was perfect for my skin. I found it nice and creamy and it spread easily on to my face and did look natural, however, I found that there wasn't enough coverage to hide my little imperfections! I did apply a second layer as mentioned on the packaging and although it helped a little, I could still see my vitiligo and it didn't feel as natural as promised.
It claims to feel like you're not wearing make up and on every day I wore it, it disappeared when I got hot (granted, it was very hot!) By the time I got home, there was no cream left on my face so I have to question it's staying power!!
I did like the fact that it offers a 15 SPF and would like to try this again in the colder months when I'm not so hot and sticky and it hopefully lasts longer on my face!
I am pretty much a diehard BB Cream user because it's quick and easy and I go for the minimal look (mainly because I have't found my perfect foundation yet). I'm getting older now though and BB Cream just isn't cutting it sadly. I've tried pretty much all the BB Creams so I wasn't really expecting anything different. Boy, was I wrong. First of all, I squeezed a bit out and it was white, like normal face cream, put it on my face and it felt like moisturiser. Then I started to blend it and something magical happened! It seemed to blend and change into my skin tone. Immediately my face had a nice glow, it felt lovely and moisturised and it didn't even look like I had anything on. My skin was instantly perfect and it just looked natural. Huge win for a 30 something with aging skin. There was no orangey looking line around my face where I hadn't blended it properly either. I couldn't believe how forgiving the stuff is. So, yes, I'll be buying this miracle cream again, I love it, it saves time, it magically matches my skin tone and makes me look healthy! Not bad for a cream you can buy at the supermarket (for an incredibly good price too).
Tips: Add an extra layer for more coverage and blend well.
