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

Thanks BR for the opportunity to try this new formula. I’ve used BB Creams on and off for a while now but I’ve always found they make me look like a shiny mess after an hour or so and for the amount of coverage it’s not really been worth it. This product has much more coverage than I expected I would say more like a light foundation. While it is very hydrating it wears beautifully on my combination skin. I use it over a 50 spf and then powder it down and it lasts at least 5-6 hours without powder touch ups. It’s summer and it’s even staying put on my sweaty face. My favourite thing (and one that’s fairly new to us all) is that is doesn’t transfer onto my masks. I’ve tried it with a basic cotton one and a satin one and they’re completely unmarked when I removed them. I was sent the medium shade and luckily I have a bit of colour at the moment or it would be too dark. I bought my teenage daughter the “light” shade and while she is very pale it was beyond too dark for her. I do wish there were more shades available otherwise it would have been 5 stars all the way. I will be able to use the light one in winter and I’m really excited about having another base (foundation/BB Cream) to add to my collection.

I received the shade Light in the Classic formula to review which interestingly enough would've worked for my skintone if it didn't have a pink (cool) undertone. I find this strange because I am a tan golden-olive and if it almost works for me, I'm not sure it would work for someone who is actually light. In the past, I used Medium, but that was a bit too dark so I feel like even though it is a BB cream and will adjust somewhat, they do need more shades.

I love the new formula and I'm so glad it's got a bit of SPF now. It's so smooth and quick to apply, I just use my fingers. It's comfortable, no tacky feeling on the skin. It has a medium consistency and you don't need much as it spreads well. Feels extremely lightweight on the skin, like I'm not wearing anything which is what I want in a BB cream and it definitely evened out my complexion. It lasted very well throughout the day and even though I tend to lean on my hand a lot, it still looked fine hours later.

I'm pleased that they've made the packaging more eco-friendly and that they stayed with the simple tube design. I think this is a nice affordable BB cream if one of the shades suits you. If the undertone matches you, it will probably be able to adjust depth-wise. Like I said, this shade would've worked for me if it wasn't so pink. I would test it before buying if you can.

All in 1 perfector? Hmmm, maybe not. PROS, it smells great, the coverage is light enough to wear every day and hides very slight skin 'imperfections'. And, it didn't move or melt off after a few tough workouts. I've used tinted moisturisers in the past that melt off as soon as you start sweating. CONS, it's only SPF15. My normal every day moisturiser is SPF50 so I was pretty hesitant to be out in the sun too long. It does transfer onto fabrics, so be careful around your white tees and don't be surprised if it ends up all on the inside of your facemask (if you wear one) It can be a little bit tricky to get it even on your skin, similar to foundation it can leave small fingerprint smears so you do have to pat/dab it in some areas. I managed to get it too close on my brow bone and it took forever to even out. Any dry patches of skin? Yup, it's going to get stuck and highlight that area. Not great. But...if you have perfectly smooth skin and just want something to make your skin look a bit more flawless without using foundation, then this is a perfect option.

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!

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.

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!

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.

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 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’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.
