Garnier BB Cream All-In-One Perfector Oil Free SPF 25 (vault shade: medium)

I have been looking into getting a tinted moisturiser for a while now, after not using one for years! Although I have been using less makeup due to lockdown, I feel like my normal foundations are actually looking worse on my skin when I do apply them - flaking, clinging to dry skin and looking too heavy even when I would apply with a light touch. I was looking for something lighter that would give me the 'my skin but better' look, and remembered having some great experiences with tinted moisturisers/BB creams when I was younger so was very keen to try this.

When the product first arrived, I was impressed. I love that the tube itself is made with less plastic than other tubes (usually it's just the packaging that is more 'eco friendly'). The packaging also has lots of information on it, which I always love reading through.

The box says to 'spread your BB cream evenly on clean skin'. Even though my skin gets oily through the day, first thing in the morning it's dry so I definitely made sure to apply over a normal moisturiser. The good thing about the lighter formula was that I was able to skip primer, which I can't do with foundation. The cap is lighter (the box says this contributes to the packaging being more sustainable), but it is easy to open. The consistency isn't runny and it doesn't rush out of the packaging, so you never have too much come out when you squeeze the tube which is great and allows you to build up product gradually.

I just used my fingers to apply the product. It glides on nicely, there was no flaking or dry bits around my nose (unlike with my foundations at the moment). I did notice that my hairline and jawline would look a little orange to start with, but a bit of blending fixed that up. I stuck to one 'layer' and blended that all in, then added a second layer just to the centre parts of my face for a bit more coverage. I have a bit of pigmentation around my eyes that it didn't cover, but I didn't expect it to be full coverage - it gave me a nice uniform colour and I was happy with that.

When I first tried this BB cream with no power on top, my skin was pretty oily about 2 hours after applying the product. However, I found that applying a setting powder at the time of applying the BB cream allowed my skin to stay relatively shine free for about 6 hours. If I was just popping out to quickly run errands, I would apply for the BB cream only for a nice glow (and I wouldn't look overly shiny by the end of my trip). If I was going out for the day or night, I would just apply some powder on top. I wouldn't say it mattifies, but it doesn't contribute to making my skin oiler so that's good.

I really like this BB cream. I think this amount (50ml) will last me a decent amount of time, and I am definitely happy to purchase it when I run out. It was exactly what I was looking for, and it's especially nice to have it as an alternative to foundation during Summer.

I was looking forward to trying out this bb cream as I already use the other bb cream by Garnier however I find that to be too orange on me.

After trialing this I am happy to say that I absolutely love this product. The formula is incredible! It is the perfect consistency (not too thick, not too runny, just right). Its easy to blend in. I received the shade light and it matches my skin well. I am pleased that is has no fragrance in it, I find their other bb cream smells quite potent, so little to no smell was a tick for me with this bb cream.

It evens my skin tone out so well. I have issues with uneven skin tone and redness. I do use a tiny bit of concealer over my birthmark and the rest I just used bb cream and I find that it works so well to cover the redness. As for the finished look, It could pass as light coverage foundation.

I am also happy to say that it doesn't leave my face an oily mess like many other products do. Its a really good bb cream and has exceeded my expectations. It has replaced the other bb cream in my daily beauty routine and I will be repurchasing for sure!

I’ve previously used an anti-ageing Garnier BB cream and found it way too thick and creamy for my combination skin but this one completely different and feels almost like the holy grail of BBs!

The tube is very eco-friendly in that it is cardboard integrated so it feels like it will biodegrade better at the end of its life and that’s a big plus for me.

You only need one squirt in place of your normal moisturiser and it glides on smoothly. My shade is medium which is perfect for my olive tones. I feel when I’m wearing this my skin is even and radiant and like I have a bit of colour on my face as a base. Yes I still have a wee bit of shine coming through with this formula but that’s easy to rectify with some setting powder. I do still blot with a tissue later in the day but that’s normal for me and there’s way less oil with this combination formula.

I’m definitely buying this one again and glad to see the SPF is 25 so I’m not worried about putting extra sunblock on.

I received this skin Garnier BB , All -In -1- Perfector, cream as part of my Christmas Beauty Box , l am really impressed with its light creamy texture, and the Light BB cream color was a good match on my skin tone as well . My skin felt nourished, throughout the day , and it stayed on well throughout the day It's great it has good ingredients for your skin and also the SPF protection , Hyaluronic Acid, and nourishment from Aloe Vera Such a good product for such a great price too !

Great BB Cream for every day use. I love the feeling of it when it’s on my skin - because it doesn’t feel like it’s there at all! The light was a better match for my skin than I thought, I’m fair skinned but have a summer tan but it matches very well. The finish is matte which is great in the Auckland humidity and I find it’s sheer enough to wear everyday and easily later with foundation if needed for the evening.

I highly recommend this product! the packaging is cute , i love the fact that even though it is a BB cream the consistency of it is not thick like others, it smells good. Coverage on this is really good & a little does go a long way. I also love the fact that it does not dry out my skin like some do - i would get to the end of the day and often have dry patches but have been using this for over a week and nothing. Also easy to remove and nothing left on my skin afterwards.

I’ve tried other bb cream formulations for oily skin in the past, but never found anything that worked for me. Typically I wear foundation during the week at work and go bare faced in the weekends to give my skin a break. I found since working from home during lockdown that I don’t want to wear heavy make up everyday, but when I have client meetings online I want to look put together and fresh faced.

I’ve found this product really nice to use, it applies well (not too thick or runny) and sinks into the skin. I have really oily skin, and found that this does a great job of staying put (mattifying) and gives my skin a fresh natural looking coverage. The texture is light and not as thick to apply as some other bb cream products on the market.

I found it can be layered if you want a bit more coverage in places and it reduced some of the redness in my skin, especially around my nose and chin. I feel that I have enough coverage with this product and in summer I can see it replacing my normal heavier foundation as a lighter/summery alternative. The light shade suits my skin tone at the moment, but I think I will need to switch to the medium shade once my skin tans up over summer.

I like the SPF25 sun coverage that it gives as I think that it is more practical in the NZ sun than a SPF10/15 like most other products on the market. Having SPF included also cuts out the extra step in my morning routine.

I’m really impressed with this product and it has exceeded my expectations!

When you're in your 30s and suffer from hormonal breakouts, the last thing you want is to smother your face in foundation. So finding a breathable lightweight option for those breakouts is a must for me. I hate feeling weighed down by foundations, so I made the switch to bb creams. I thought I found a good one. That was until I tried Garniers BB Cream All-In-One Perfector. It smells nice, and goes on so smoothly. It feels light weight, like my skin can actually breathe. It gives me enough coverage for day to day wear. And better yet, it helps even out my skintone. I am honestly super impressed by this Bb cream.

I'm not really a bb cream user. I usually like a fuller coverage foundation and find bb creams to be a tad greasy for my liking. But I put my hand up to review this as I liked the fact that it was a matte. I did attempt to see if it could be layered for a bit more coverage but that didn't seem to work very well for me. I selected the shade medium which usually would be a great match for my skin tone. Unfortunately it was far too light and had pinky undertones (I'm a yellow undertone) and there was no way I could get away with wearing this shade in public. I'm not sure if this hot weather made me a shade or two darker or if the shade range is just way off. So I decided to try this on a day that I knew I would definitely be staying home. Initially I liked the scent of the foundation, it smelt fresh but the longer I kept it on, I actually felt sick from it. I will say it was definitely a matte finish after drying out but as the shade was so far off it was quite hard to tell if it met alot of the other claims. I will say, I had a quick dip in the pool with this at the end of a very hot day and there was still some signs of it still on my face although not too much. I also didn't get any burning on my face so love that the spa factor did its job.

I really liked this bb cream as it gave a beautiful finish and sat nicely on my skin. It did look like a foundation. The reason why I won't repurchase is the light is still a bit dark for me.

Garnier you need more colours in this range please.
