Garnier Skin Perfector BB Cream Anti Ageing Review

My skin is pretty dry on the forehead and has signs of aging with brown spots and wrinkles. This BB cream was a dream. Its so silky to apply and gave a lovely light coverage to my face. It made me feel good without a foundation on top.It also lasted well throughout the day and came off easily with a cream cleanser and cotton pad. Very happy with this cream and would buy again as it is lovely to use

I have dull and dry skin and it only gets worse during the winter. I do suffer from the occasional hormonal breakout so I was looking forward to seeing whether this BB cream stood up to its claims and if this would irritate my spots. Surprisingly the cream was super thick, almost a mousse/foundation like consistency however when applied it only produced a light- medium coverage. I'm usually a full coverage kind of girl but do appreciate tinted moisturiser when I'm not heading anywhere special. So while I wouldn't replace this with my foundation, I definitely think this gave better coverage than my Laura Mercier tinted foundation. I used my fingers to blend the cream into my skin and I wouldn't recommend using a brush just because it is so thick. The fragrance was not overpowering which was a bonus. I think for it's Anti ageing claims it did a good enough job, and the product does last for almost a whole day under my foundation however there is some product transfer onto clothes etc. The only major con I would have with the product is the fact that when I put it on it leaves my face a bit sticky. You definitely have to let it set for a while or else it feels a bit heavy especially if you put foundation over the top. Overall, given the fantastic price this is a good starter BB cream for someone who doesn't want to fork out for the more expensive high end ones. So definitely give it a go!

Lovely even coverage, but light, i enjoyed wearing this and the colour was good, skin had a soft look to it, not made up, very natural and even, and it blended well on my chest area too.

I found this BB Cream to be light non greasy ,absorbs into skin good delivering a light coverage that evened out skin tones. And moisturised well. I found it quick and easy to apply and it kept looking good all day .price is affordable , I would highly recommend using this and would buy it again .

I got the opportunity to review this product as part of the br trial team. I wasn't expecting much, as its a lower price product but I was very pleasantly surprised. It goes on very smoothly, and gives a great finish even if its gone on flaky dry skin without moisturizer or exfoliating first. I did find that I needed to use quite a bit, but that is possibly because my skin is thirsty and it has a great moisturizing base. It wore well throughout the day, and my skin felt great. I have very sensitive skin, and it has caused no reaction at all. Very gentle, no noticeable smell and long wearing. I don't know if is age defying, but all the other claims I found to be true. Very impressed!!

I have tried many skin anti aging creams, this one is a keeper. It is creamy and light and goes on easily. It is suitable for sensitive skin as I had no problem and it lasts all day with great coverage and minimizing lines and wrinkles. You don't need to use much therefore is value for money, I would definately recommend to a friend and will continue using it.

Working for the police means I need something quick and easy to apply yet effective! I was thrilled with this product - it left my skin feeling soft and silky even 3 hours later! I used only this product and had no need for mineral powder on top like I expected!

My skin type is combination oily with dry patches. I used Murad Oil-Control Mattifier as my daily moisturiser and used it with this BB Cream.

Packaging - Product came in squeeze tube, with a flip top lid. This is a great design that I love. Because it is also shorter and wider than their BB Cream for Combination to Oily Skin, you are able to have it stand upright when not in use, meaning the contents are already at the port to be used rather than having to squeeze the product to the port.

The smell of the product does have a hint of that typical sunscreen smell. Not full-on sunscreen but enough to notice in the tube. Once on the skin, I didn’t notice a smell.

Longevity - Products usually only last 8 hours on my skin due to my oily skin, and this lasted that long.

Texture and application - the product has quite a thick constancy almost like that of a clay masks when you squeeze it out. Once it is applied to the heat of your skin, it melts down to become more of a cream. Their BB Cream for Combination to Oily Skin is more runny and difficult to work with, so the Anit-Ageing formula is a lot easier to use.

Because I was using this BB Cream for the first time, I did use too much to apply to my face. So a little goes a long way. The first time I used my fingers. I have also tried to use my beauty blender to apply the product. The third time I used my Real Techniques Expert Face Brush, which I found to be by far the best way to apply the product out of the three ways. It blended far better than the other ways. The product dries fast, and almost to a powder finish. Once the product sinks into the skin, the illumination factor of the product kicks in and gives a soft glow to the skin.

Colour - I used the shade “Light”. This was a few shades to dark for me. My foundation shade in MAC is NC15, and Revlon Colourstay in 110 Ivory. I had to really blend it in to sheer the colour enough so I can wear it by itself without having to use my foundation.

Evens & illuminates – my skin does appear to ‘glow’. I prefer to have a shine free face, so I did powder my face with a mattifing powder. Even then, my skin is still had a ‘glow’. I did my usual blotting through-out the day, and my face came off being more oily. This may be due to there being sunscreen in the product. No indication on what the spf factor is. So in summer, you would have to add another sunscreen.

I would have to say that the major down side of this product is the limited shade range. I would definitely try a lighter shade if they came out with one. At the moment they only have the 2 shades and neither are a good fit for me. So I wouldn’t purchase this product due to the colour. If you have oily skin and hate a shiny face, you might want to miss this BB Cream.

Product was clumpy when i first used it, but once i wiped the clumps away it had a very smooth texture. Once i applied it i noticed that it left a oily residue and i ended up blotching it with a tissue. The colour didnt match my skin tone it was way to light, so i ended to apply powder foundation on top of it to get the desired effect. I passed it along to my Mum to utilize and it was perfect for her. Overall even though it didnt suit me it did suit her and she loves it.

I received trial Anti Aging BB cream from beauty review and was excited to put it on next morning. The texture is smooth but once you spread it onto your face it seemed disappearing without any coverage as 'primer'. The texture was too light for my 40+ years old which I need more moisturizing protection. It said 'Reduces wrinkles, Firms Skin and Instantly Perfect Skin' but I did not see any effect after tried 4 days so far.
