Garnier Skin Perfector BB Cream Oil-Free Review

I received this in the mail a bit dubious about when I would actually trial this, as BB Cream is not something I would generally use day to day, it is generally something I would only wear on the weekend to go to the supermarket. So Saturday came around and I thought ahh perfect day to try this out doing odd jobs around the house. So I grabbed my beauty blender and headed for the mirror. I squeezed it onto my beauty blender and was immediately shocked at how thin the constancy was. The coverage using a beauty blender was not great I found it soaked up a lot of the product. I decided to see what this BB cream would be like with no power, no contour and no blush. Come midnight that night (after being rushed out the door to watch the rugby at a friends) I stepped in front of the mirror completely forgetting that I was only wearing BB cream and to my surprise my face wasn't shiny or oily and still intact on my face. The next morning rolled around an I thought I'll give this a go without the beauty blender, so I used my fingers, Voila! Perfect application. Again after a full day of running around it still looked perfect. This BB Cream doesn't seem to crease or move during the day, even on my oily skin. Its so easy to apply and doesn't smell chemically like a lot of BB Creams. It was a light to medium coverage as you would expect from a BB cream. I would highly recommend this product to anyone, anyone at all, it would work well on all skin types.

While i was using this product, i had noticed that my skin did look and feel softer. By using this BB cream it had provided me with a nice matte finish, which i loved.I had compliments from my friends, an them asking what i was using on my skin. I had noticed that my blemishes were starting to fade, and that my redness of my cheeks and nose were not as red - as they normally are. I loved how this product has SPF 15 in it, and how it gave me a nice healthy looking glow. I also loved how it absorbed quickly, and i didn't get that sticky feeling after applying it. Its light weight, and it really doesn't feel like i was wearing makeup at all. And lastly it didnt make my skin oily at all, after applying it. LOVE LOVE LOVE it :)

I have tried this product for a week. When it first arrived I wanted to wash off my foundation that I had put on that morning, but I waited until that evening. I had kickboxing in the evening and due to being so pale, I like to wear minimal foundation. I put on a light layer of this BB cream and out I went. I came home afterwards and found that not only was my skin only a tad shiny (yet very red due to the exercising), and it wasn't blotchy or running. I was pleased, but didn't want to get my hopes up too early in the trial. For the next few days I have used it everyday. I am finding I am not needing to use powder half way through the day to combat oily, shiny skin which means less stress about how my face looks. I love that when I put it on in the morning how easy it is to apply. It really is just like putting a nice moisturiser on. I also love that if I am going out at night I am not having to wash my face and start from the beginning, as I can easily add more BB Cream on top of what I am already wearing and it doesn't smear or end up looking too thick. In the mornings when I wake up, my face is less oily. I still have a couple of areas that are still dry and patchy, but I am sure that over the next couple of weeks even that will have started to get better. It is also nice and easy to remove at the end of the day, which makes potential 3am mornings when you just want to crawl into bed after a night out, a bit easier knowing it isn't going to be a hug he big hassle.

I actually love this product, I don't say that often about stuff I put on my face as just about everything causes me to break out! It really gives awesome coverage and eliminates a lot of the redness. I found I could use it instead of foundation and just put a small amount of powder on top. If you do have oily or combination skin get this one over any of the others. I tried the anti aging one but it just left me with great coverage but all shiny.

After trying endless BB creams I noticed that none could combat the oiliness of my T-Zone. Although I haven't noticed any improvements in my skin, It hasn't left me with any new break outs.

You can achieve so many looks with this product. From a light natural coverage, to building it up for a more fuller coverage. And at under $20 you can't do much complaining about this product!

I'm not going to lie - after using MAC and Lioele's BB creams, I didn't think anything would ever come close - but, I had friends using Garnier and raving about it! When the opportunity to try it arose, I had to give it a shot. I'm sitting here, typing this review out a day late - BUT for good reason! My first impressions were beautiful packaging (a hygienic, ergonomic slimline tube with an awesome glossy finish) and quite a fresh scent. I fell in love with the first application. This BB gives lightweight, buildable coverage that lasted all day for me with only a small amount of powder on the T-zone. The reason I am a day late with this review is after that first day, I broke out into a dry patch on my chin - however after the process of elimination, this was due to a new cleanser I was trying out - NOT my new beloved BB! I will definitely be re-purchasing. This is a beautiful product, fuss-free to apply and definitely helped out my oil-slick of a T-zone. Would happily recommend!

I love this product. I have quite oily skin so this has been perfect for keeping my oil build up over the day under control. I use it after my moisturiser, and then dust some powder over my face and I'm done. I've been trying not to wear make up on the weekends so this is a really nice compromise and it takes the redness out of my face. It's a great price so you can afford to have a few for your car, handbag and gym bag.

I love this product its nice and light on my skin , doesnt feel cakey and covers any spots without looking like your trying to hide anything . Just makes my skin look smoother and fresh

I have been using this BB for about a year. It covers my imperfections well and give me a natural healthy skin. It does have SPF which is good. My mother in law loves this BB cream too.
