I haven't used a BB Cream for a while, not because I haven't wanted too, just because I hadn't gotten around to buying any!
The last BB Cream from Garner I used I found to be a bit orangey so was interested to see what this Anti Age BB Cream was like.
Firstly let me say I loved the packaging! The cardboard pack is made from 100% recyclable cardboard and the tube is made with 49% less plastic and the cardboard tube from forests managed with respect to people and nature - yay Garnier!
I liked the colour of the cardboard pack, a nature green. The details on the pack tells you what it is very clearly which is great Anti age and with Hyaluronic Acid etc.
I have been using this BB Cream daily for around a week and have found that it does even out my skin tone, and gives my skin more of a "glow" so that has to be good! I haven't really noticed any improvement anti age wise as I don't think I've been using it for long enough, but I will continue to use daily as I really like it anyway (especially for summer) and think it will make a difference with continued use :)
It definitely hydrated my skin though - I noticed that my skin did feel "greasier" - I don't mean greasy, but definitely more hydrated which is what my skin needs at the moment.
Do like this product and will continue to use and will buy this again as I really like it
Thank you BR team for selecting me to trial and review this product and share my views with others in the community.It has been a great pleasure to receive and trial different beauty brands during 2021 and so again I would like to thank everyone at BR for making this happen.First impression of the outer packaging was impressive,the description,ingredients and everything else I needed to know about the product were clear and easy to read.I love how Garnier have taken a sustainable approach with their eco designed packaging,less plastic,minimal waste and greener ingredients and this is clearly noted on their packaging.I thought it was very innovative and clever seeing the product in a cardboard tube instead of a plastic one.The lid was a flip top one which made dispensing the product easy,mess free and quick to apply.The colour I chose was light and at first glance I was like,oh my lord! this colour looks way too dark for my fair skin but actually I was pleasantly surprised because it melted into my skin perfectly leaving me with a more even skin tone and not like the "Oompa Loompa" look that I was so worried about.My skin certainly had a healthier dewier look to it and my fine lines did appear smoothed out but I can't say my skin felt more elastic after only using for one week perhaps with longer time use it may.I liked how there was a SPF 25 in the formula although I did feel this rating needs to be more 30 SPF or higher especially in NZ.The one thing I didn't like about this BB cream was the smell I just found it too strong and overpowering although it did appear to wear off as the day went on.The texture was very thin and light and easy to blend into your skin which I really liked so for a day time look with a more "barely there" make up look this is perfect but if you are looking for more coverage then this is the wrong product for you.Overall I do like how my skin looks and feels when wearing this so I would probably buy it because of the anti-aging claims plus it is super affordable and easily accessible instore or online.I feel this is Garniers better BB creams because it is easy to apply and doesn't leave you looking with a "caked" on look,it really does make a difference to your skin.
Tips: No specific tips other then test on skin for 24 hours incase of reaction.I have fairly sensitive skin but did not react to this at all after testing first.
