Garnier BB Cream All-In-One Perfector Even Tone SPF 50

Love that this is cruelty free and SPF50 but I’m disappointed to say I don’t love the product. The smell of it is almost chemical like and I smelt it all day which was unpleasant. I feel like it didn’t cover, correct and even for me personally and I even used two applications for a bit extra and it didn’t really do anything to my imperfections. On the plus side skin does feel hydrated and it’s not heavy at all. It gives a glow on the skin also not super natural as it has a orange tinge. It blends out easily. I wouldn’t buy it again personally.

I was sent this to trial, although the cream was in the colour medium and does not suit my light skin complexion, i was happy to report on other factors.

The packaging was an improvement on previous yeard in a squeezy tube, the consistency of the cream was nice and thick, holding its shape coming out of the tube and not a watery liquid mess i have seen previously. It spread nicely over my skin, leaving a nice sheen and very low coverage, i would compare it to a lightly tinted sunblock. Personally i like more coverage.

On the second time i applied the cream i applied it over freshly moisturised skin, with a primer, and i was surprised to see the bb cream split, and become lumpy over my skin.

Honestly not a fan of this product. Perhaps its good for some who are going to the beach, prefer sheer coverage, and happy with the limited colour match.

I am a big fan of products in eco-friendly packaging, so I was surprised and pleased to see that this Garnier BB cream was in packaging that had been redesigned to reduce plastic. The tube is cardboard with what I assume is a plastic layer to make it waterproof, the lid has been changed to be lighter and thinner and much of the plastic is recycled. This type of effort to reduce the effect of the packaging on the environment is a real game-changer when it comes to my purchasing decisions.

The product itself was a little yellow for my skin when first applied, but it seemed to blend in a bit as I wore it. A couple of hours later when I looked at my face it just looked like it had a healthy glow and my blemishes were minimised.

Very importantly, the product is SPF 50, which is so helpful in the NZ sun. No need to apply sunscreen that removes my makeup!

This is proving to be a really handy little product that is perfect to pop in the toilet bag for Christmas - I can't deal with makeup when it's so hot, but this BB cream will give me a bit of colour and soften my blemishes for all the Christmas holiday socialising.

Cute little tube of goodness that has prevented me getting any sunburn.

With a new dog extra walking is a must and I’ve been using this and not even the slightest shade of pink on my face my shoulders are another story.

It’s great to have just enough coverage to not feel naked but still look natural with enough coverage for any flaws

Definitely going to repurchase

I was so excited to be able to try this new BB cream - since its become available in NZ I have always been a huge fan of Garnier BB Cream.

There are a few options in the Garnier range these days, I have always stuck to the original so was excited to try this new one (with a higher SPF!). I have the medium shade which is slightly more orange toned than the original is, and I do think that because you want a decent amount to get the SPF coverage, the lighter option would work for more skin tones than medium. The consistency is super silky and glides on well, however I didn't notice the hugest difference in dark spot correction, and there is more of a sun cream scent. My skin did look a bit oiler throughout the day using this product, whether thats down to the illuminating pigments or the higher SPF I'm not sure.

The new packaging is aweome with the tube made from cardboard, less plastic in the world is always a good thing!

I used to use the original Garnier BB cream in ‘light’ in my 30’s but now I’m 41 my skin as a lot more uneven skin tone and early signs of wrinkles. I would say that my skin is mainly normal except for some dry patches around my mouth and eyes as I use retrieve. I was excited to get this product and a little weary given it only came in ‘medium’ but if it did what it says it could and even out my skin tone then I was very willing to try it. I only had 4 days to try the product. It’s a smaller fatter tube then the original version. The lid is easy to flip open and there is a narrow hole for the product to come through. The lid closes securely. There is no security seal under the lid. The product comes out of the tube easily and in a controlled flow given the small outlet. The consistency at first touch seems thick but it goes on smoothly and feels like water – with a genuinely nice subtle fresh smell. At first, I didn’t see much coverage and the colour looked a bit orange, but I gave it 30min to settle in my skin. After this time, the colour match was flawless, and it had given me a light tone correction. However, at closer look it settled into my fine lines and highlighted them around my eyes. The BB cream lasted a few hours but am sure it would last longer if it wasn’t for a humidity in Auckland. I will continue using it during summer, but I wouldn’t be repurchasing given it settles into my fine lines. It’s a shame because the texture and ease of application are a win for me.

The box is attractive in a light green color, although the box is very light and doesn't hold together very well.

The tube is a nice size and is natural looking, Ilove that it is more sustainable. It doesn't have a pump but the lid is secure.

The cream is medium thickness and comes out of tune nicely. Not funny at all. The cream blend into skin very well, and does reduce dark spots and definitely illuminates skin. That takes a little getting used to. I'm used to matt finishes. You don't need a lot to cover face, I use a little more for better coverage. I don't notice any smell.

It doesn't last as long as I expected but still a good product. Wearing face masks don't help as most foundations run off into them.

I'm definitely going to continue using this product during summer for the lighter coverage.

I’m really enjoying the trial of this Bb cream it’s got a really nice scent almost a clean scent but it’s really nice and the consistency on my skin is really lovely it goes on nice and softly and almost melts into your skin. I have the medium shade which I thought would be too dark on my skin but it’s seems to be just right, it gives me a nice even skin tone and is probably the right colour for summer. I love that it’s spf 50!!! I use it ontop of my daily moisturizer which is also an spf50 so I feel like I’m really protecting my face without adding too much oil or layering on cream to thick. I am a fan so will definately be purchasing this range I feel like it’s a good step forward in protecting my skin.

I've tried this for the past week and I was pleasantly surprised how easy it was to apply. I usually apply foundation or BB cream on top of a moisturiser as I can have dry patches. I was able to use this directly on my skin with my fingers, which is great if I'm in a hurry. There was no dry patches or pilling which happens in some products I've used. I'm also really happy that it has SPF 50, so I'm covered if I've forgotten to put sunscreen on underneath.

This provides a very light coverage and doesn't cover up imperfections or redness. It does provide a subtle even tone across the face, and you can reduce spots by dabbing a concentrated amounts on the areas you need it to cover.

It comes out in a tube but the opening has an odd design where it's not flushed with the bottle so there is a bit of product wastage, but not much.

Overall, it's not a product that masks your imperfections but provide some coverage for a natural look. A great product if you're starting out with makeup or want to go minimal without much fuss.

I really love how lightweight and easily blendable the formula. This is great for evening your skin tone and complection. Great to use for those warm days in the sun where you want to be protected by the sun a little and still have a little makeup. It’s been so good to wear at home during lockdown. It’s easy and effective and doesn’t leave my skin oily.
