I really like the regular Garnier BB cream and have used it a lot in the past however it doesn't always help with the oil issue so I was excited to receive this product and see the results!
I found the consistency a lot more watery/runny than the original one and didn't seem to blend in as well as the original. I had the light color yet found this was not a good match to my skin and made it look somewhat orange.
It lasted a few hours which was good and did help with the excess oil I can get at times so that was good however I would like a better match to my skin which this did not deliver on.
It does leave the skin feeling nice and light and not the caked on feeling that foundation can do.
I probably wouldn't buy this again and just stick to the original formula.
Price range is reasonable and this would last quiet awhile before having to get a new one.
This is a great product for everyday wear delivering a number of benefits - this BB cream contains an SPF25, hyalronic acid and it mattifies, which is great for summer.
I love seeing how Garnier are taking more responsibility to reduce their environmental impact, which is clearly highlighted on the packaging.
I have fair skin and used the light colour, which was perfect for me. It offers a pretty light coverage, possibly a little less than some other BB creams, but is easily buildable, so you can target any areas requiring more coverage and it will blend well.
The cream is very light-feeling, having that “mineral” feel, which glides on really well when applying. This product claims to have a mattifying effect and it defiantly does. I have oily skin and this cream instantly reduced shine without feeling drying and my skin stayed radiant, but shine-free for most of the day (on a humid summer day). It makes a great eyeshadow primer for eyelids. Skin also feels softer to the touch after applying this cream.
The fragrance is quite strong and artificial smelling, which is my only complaint.
Tips: Build coverage in any areas that need it and blend with remaining areas.
