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

I really liked the sound of this product initially due to - this product being a BB cream therefore meaning quite light. - having hyaluronic acid in it. - being for combination to oily skin types - having SPF in the product. I found this product to do what it said it will do, I had a glow while maintains some ’mattness’ and I did not get sunburnt after being in the sun for prioress if the day. However the product oxidised pretty much straight away after putting it on the face, meaning you have to be super careful to ensure you were rubbing it in fully. I would use this product again, it is well priced and gives my skin a break from heavier foundations and products.

I was really excited about this product as I have really oily skin and have been trying to get in the habit of wearing spf every morning - but I also hate looking sunscreen shiny!

I really liked the look of the neutral packaging. It's also quite a nice size, easy to use and small enough to keep in your handbag. I didn't notice any fragrance which I good because I can have quite a sensitive nose.

The product itself is smooth and creamy. Application is easy as the lid only allows a small amount of product to come out at a time which is all you need - a little goes a long way. The product goes on smoothly and blends in easily using your fingertips. It mattifies quickly giving you nice easy coverage.

However I found that as the day went on, the mattified look that I started with disappeared into the shiny oily slick - to the point where if I was going out in the evening I would wash it off and redo my morning routine as my fresh face looked nicer than a shiny one, even though it had a little coverage. I also found that throughout the day I would rub the product off as I accidentally touched my face - so it wasn't particularly longwearing on me.

I should note though, that it has been a particularly humid over the week or so that I trialed this product, so maybe under normal conditions the product would cope a bit better!

I really like Garnier BB Creams - I've tried a few, they're reliable, light and so easy to use. The new formulation of the oil-free is no different!

Firstly I LOVE the new cardboard mix packaging - every little helps and this is a huge environmental step. I also love that Garnier are cruelty-free.

The formula of this BB cream is a pleasant mix between cream and lotion, it's not too runny, but equally liquid enough to easily apply and blend.

I was concerned it was quite orange based coming out of the tube, but once applied and blended it's a very natural, even base. Your skin but better.

It's very hydrating and your skin feels lovely when it's on and equally smooth when it has been removed.

I have very oily skin, by T-Zone is an oil-slick by early afternoon - not with this on! It keeps my oil fields matte and shine-free until the end of the day. WINNING!

I really recommend this product!

I am using the light colour, and this is just right for my pale winter skin!

I found the coverage to be quite good - no streaks or orange looking skin.

I have a few oily patches and found that this BB cream covered them nicely with no adverse looking reaction!

A bonus is the SPF25.

I was concerned about the tube being made of integrated cardboard - but have not had any mishaps!

I’m not sure that the photo on their packaging is a good idea, as I couldn’t see any difference between the before and after!

I still moisturised before applying the BB cream, that could just be habit.

I love this for day to day wear. Buildable for a decent coverage, or able to lightly apply for a natural look. Covers my redness very well!

I bought this at the warehouse in a sale a couple of weeks ago. The colour light matches my skin well, and it is nice and buildable and covers redness well. I found that it was not very spreadable and tends to pill, even when using garnier face moisturiser under it. It’s good for light to medium coverage and feels lights on the skin but I was expecting it to work a bit better with other garnier products.

Garnier Bb cream for oily/combination skin. I have used this Bb cream in the medium tone since it first came out about 10/11 years ago and it was amaaaaazing!!!! However the new formula is awful!!! It makes my skin so greasy, it pills and rubs off and gives my skin a pinky/ orange tone. Please bring back the old formula. For those that read this go have a look on the Garnier website and read the reviews. If anyone can recommend a good Bb cream for oily/ combo skin please let me know!!

The BB cream gives me a nice little undertone glow which is nice if you are going to apply foundation and other products over. On its own it doesn’t really do the job for me
