Garnier BB Cream All-In-One Perfector Classic SPF 15

First off loved the box had all the information I needed and ticked all the right boxes then when I opened the box and pulled out the tube wow the texture felt so different with cardboard being integrated into it I thought what a absolute star of an idea very impressed then I squeezed out a small amount and begun using it each day after my normal facial routine and before I applied foundation some days I didn't and wore it alone it's texture and the way it blends is fantastic having a spf rating is fantastic especially if wearing without any other foundations etc it made my skin even out and really did what it says perfecting care all in 1 that is true from my point of view absolutely the best 1 yet.

This Garnier BB cream comes in a tube which makes the product easy to dispense in just the amount you require.

The cream has a really nice scent and feels silky. It is easy to apply just like a moisturizer but leaves your skin looking illuminated and with a healthy glow.

The cream is light to wear and gives you the no make up look with a bit of colour and coverage being your best kept secret

This product is smooth and easy to apply. My skin is fair so the light colour worked really well to even out my skintone without looking cakey or heavy. Really blends well into my coloring without looking like I have any makeup on. The fragrance takes a bit to get used too, I'd prefer no fragrance at all. A little goes a long way, I would recommend about at $1 coin size amount to do whole face. For a little more coverage reapply another layer once finished first application. Try buildable coverage on cheeks or any areas with redness for higher cover. Hyaluronic Acid helps keep skin moisturised while providing even skin colour.

I’m using the light shade and it’s still way too dark and can be orange too, so I have to be careful how much I apply and blend it in real well. I’m not even the palest person ever, more of a light-medium shade. I can make it work though, some setting powder will also lighten it for me. I know people were complaining about the original bb cream in light being too dark, so their answer was to go even darker in their upgraded version!? This is a very hydrating bb cream, I still use a face cream or sunscreen underneath, it slides onto skin easily, doesn’t settle into fine lines and no dry patches being shown, but I find it a tad too oily. Even if I use a ton of setting powder I still shine through this bb cream by midday, I know it’s summer now and have had a few hot days, but I didn’t expect it to be this oily, my skin is even on the drier side, so not sure how this just makes me produce so much oil? I also tried it without any moisturiser underneath and the results are the same, just a bit harder to spread. It didn’t really hold up to the original bb cream, which was the first of its kind and an amazing idea and product, to me they didn’t improve anything at all, this just made me miss the old formula even more.

I am a big fan of BB creams and similar products for those "no makeup" days where you just need something to even out your skin tone. Without foundation, my face is much paler than my body with a lot of redness so I'm sometimes a bit too shy to go completely naked.

I received this product in Classic Light. I would actually say this is more of a light-medium. I applied it with a damp beauty sponge as I would with foundation (I dont like applying anything with colour using my hands - too messy!). It was easy to apply and buildable so I could add an extra few dabs to my redness. The finish was radiant and natural looking and it lasts well for a BB cream - I found it lasted well for the days errands.

There were only 2 letdowns for me: 1. The shades - I have a wee google and it appears to only come in light and medium. From experience, I know the light is actually not that light so for our fairer and deeper toned friends - this probably wont work for them. 2. The fragrance - I found this too be quite strong and whilst not unpleasant, I generally don't like heavily fragranced makeup products.

I use BB Creams a lot and was excited to try this one especially as it has Hyaluronic Acid and SPF added. Those are two things I love in a moisturiser or BB Cream. I used Medium shade which was perfect and a little goes a long way. I love the feel of it on my skin, it’s silky and really hydrating, my skin was really glowing! It smells nice and isn’t overpowering. I found it sits nicely on my skin and doesn’t roll or flake like many others. This Garnier Active All-In-1 Perfector Classic BB Cream is really great for daily wear, you can add more for extra coverage and you don’t have to wear sunblock or anything else with it. Overall, I enjoyed using this BB Cream and love how my skin is so much more smooth, glowing and even. I would definitely use it again and would recommend if you’d like a hydrating silky natural BB Cream.

I really liked this, I'm not into super full coverage foundations anymore, especially as I'm getting older. This provides the perfect cover, it's light and doesn't look cakey at all. It's also so easy to use, I can use my fingers, a brush or a sponge and it still provides good coverage. It does have a fragrance which disappears as soon as you use it. I'd definitely buy this again.

When I opened the box, the first thing I noticed about the new Garnier BB cream was in smaller tube, but don't let this fool you! You only need a small amount and a little goes a long way. I would normally use a heavy foundation every day as I need the coverage for my pigmented skin and BB creams I have used in the past did not achieve this, but this one gave me excellent coverage without the cakiness off the 'normal' foundation. I like the fact it has an spf15, a lovely light fragrance and it lasts all day. My new fave!

Love the fact it has SPF in it and didn't feel at all slimy like some other face products with SPF. I liked the coverage, just enough to give me a bit of extra confidence. The only thing I found was that if I used it as per the instructions it really didn't sit well on my skin so I applied it using a makeup sponge and the finish was much much better. I will definitely keep using this especially in the summer months for the SPF protection.

I was really excited to trial this product as I haven't been a regular BB cream wearer since high school. This product is super smooth to apply and spreads well while still maintaining good coverage. It doesn't dry out my skin the way more traditional makeup does and it gives a healthy looking glow - an essential summer product in my books! I have not noticed any creasing and the product seems to last all day. The scent is pleasant and not too overpowering.

I do think the "eco" packaging is a bit deceiving - it's great that it uses less plastic, but by combining plastic with cardboard it means it cannot be recycled, like tubes made only of plastic generally can. And although any SPF is better than none, higher than SPF 15 would be better for the NZ sun.

I would recommend this product to anyone like me who doesn't usually have the time to put makeup on everyday - it evens your skin tone and gives a nice glow in under a minute. It is also an ideal product for a day at the beach - this BB cream actually goes on fine over a layer sunblock. I will definitely buying this product again myself if I run out before the end of summer!
