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

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 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 !

Love how it goes on my skin and makes my skin look and feel much younger, the colour is also just right! This is going to be my new go to daily moisturiser, it also smells amazing..I don’t really put on foundation or the likes but the BB Cream has changed my mind, the price is also really affordable!

I am quite picky when it comes to base products as I have tried a LOT of different ones, and I was a bit apprehensive about trying this one at first as although I do have oily skin, I don't like matte finish products. However I was pleasantly surprised with this! It does tone down my shininess from my oily skin, however it doesn't make me too matte. It's the perfect natural finish balancing the oil-control and giving me a natural radiant look. It felt incredibly lightweight on my skin, I wore it for over 12 hours and it never reached that point where I could feel the product on my skin that I find with most base products when you wear them all day. Its quite a thin consistency which I think is why it is so weightless on the skin. I will admit, I had to use a bit more product than I expected to cover my whole face and blend down my neck, but it wasn't a ridiculous amount. I didn't notice any particular scent which was nice, particularly in a product that contains SPF. My only downside would be that I was wanting just a bit more coverage than this gave me. It was quite light coverage which I liked for being able to see my freckles through it, but I did need quite a full coverage concealer for my under-eye circles and blemishes, as this didn't cover them at all. It held up very well across the day, the only time I had to touch it up was after I had to wear a face mask over for an extended period. I love the recyclable packaging.

I have worn this BB cream non-stop since receiving it! It's been great for this time of year with the extra SPF protection. I usually have very oily skin and I was surprised how matte yet glowy (not the usual shine) my skin stayed throughout the day. The coverage is very natural, definitely the perfect 'no-makeup' makeup look. It truely looks like your real skin!! You only need a small amount and it's very easy to blend. No streaks or patchy areas! Also, I was impressed on first application when the formula didn't oxidise (something I often find with other BB creams). I will be re-purchasing this product.

I have been a big fan of Garnier's BB creams since they very first came on the scene and I have been using the combination/oily skin version since I can remember. So of course to see a new and improved version out was super exciting! I use this product for my work week for just a bit of lightweight coverage and this new version did just as good a job as the original for hiding my pesky large pores, leaving my skin looking naturally more radiant and with less imperfections. I wear it over top of my usual moisturiser and sunscreen and it applies just like a regular moisturiser. It spreads nicely and blends super easily with just my fingertips and doesn't feel like I am wearing makeup at all. I pop a wee bit of powder over too just to set everything in place. I found the original and the new version to be very similar with just a couple of differences. The new version boasts mineral pigments and hyaluronic acid so I can't help but feel like it might be better for my skin. It also leaves more of a dewy complexion that coupled with my very oily complexion had me running for the powder in a couple of hours. I'm not deducting points for this though because for many peoole a dewy complexion is makeup goals! If I had a choice I'd probably buy the original over this new version, but if Garnier was to ditch the old completely, I'd be happy with this as a replacement. This is such a great affordable option for those that don't want a heavy makeup look or a cakey feel and a tube lasts for a decent amount of time.

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.
