This was actually the first bb cream I ever tried, and it almost put me off. I found it was hard to spread evenly at first, though it was easier once warmed. It just looked really artificial and wrong on me lol. The colour was a bit dark (I had the light one as I'm reasonably pale) and it looked like too much liquid foundation, kind of cakey. It acted like liquid foundation too by sliding off my face during the day. My skins just too oily for this.

Garnier Skin Perfector BB Cream Oil-Free Review
***THIS PRODUCT HAS BEEN DISCONTINUED. FIND THE NEW FORMULATION HER***
All Garnier products are officially approved by Cruelty Free International.
Since 1989, Garnier has been committed to a world without animal testing.
GARNIER'S new BB Cream, combats shiny, oily skin, by combining the power of ultra-absorbent mineral pigments for an immediate matte look and perfect, even-toned skin.
The oil-free BB cream works in five ways. It reduces imperfections, moisturises, gives skin a healthy glow, delivers a beautiful matte finish to skin and provides all-important sun protection with SPF 15.
GARNIER'S Oil-free BB Cream provides instant results while also improving the skin’s quality over time. After four weeks the results are clearly visible; skin is less oily, pores reduced in size, imperfections are visibly reduced and skin radiance is improved.
It has a new active ingredient, Mineral perlite - a powerful volcanic rock extract known for its ultra-absorbing properties.
Mineral perlite is able to retain up to two-and-a-half times its weight in oil and water and is five times more absorbing than talc, meaning any excess sebum is absorbed to fight that oily shine. This combined with uncoated mineral pigments gives the skin an even tone and a perfectly matte finish
GARNIER Miracle Skin Perfector-Oil-free BB cream is available in two shades - light and medium.

I must admit i use to LOVE this BB cream. I had a bottle of it in 'light' a while ago which was my go to. I had ran out after trying a couple other BB creams which I felt was no where near as good as this, so I purchased another bottle and I am sure the formula has been changed because it just seems to slide off my face and stick to my hands.
Used the other Garnier BB cream and loved it. This one doesn't apply so easily and I wouldn't buy it again. It made my skin look greasy - I gave this one away to a friend, and it suits her more than me.
I started out using the normal skin one and found it to be quite a heavy product to wear all day. So I switched to this Oil-free version and although it is lighter and it says it is supposed to combat oily skin I found that it was still to heavy for my pimple prone skin. I've recently switched to powder and wont go back. I think it is probably because it still contains an SPF. It would be interesting to see what a product like this, oil free, is like without a sunscreen in it.
this stuff is so good! buildable coverage, with about 5 pea sized amounts you could make your skin flawless like you've got foundation on instead. pretty affordable and lasts a long time. good for a base because it already covers half your flaws and redness :)
I have been using this product for the last 3 months after my sister recommended it to me and I can honestly say it does exactly what it says it will do. It applies easily and it's super smooth against your skin! Not to mention no orange lines :) it's really good!!
Tips: Start applying the foundation around your nose area and work your way outwards blending it. It stops from forming orange lines :)
I just love BB cream nice and light a bit of cover when you don't want a full foundation. But I did find this cream a little bit on the heavy side and didn't apply as easy, I do have dry skin so trying an oil free was most probably not the best idea for me. but was worth a try, I did not get a matt finish. It gave good coverage. I do like the tube nice and easy to squeeze the product out and use,slightl smells like green tea to me.
Tips: Buy the right product for your skin type
This leaves my skin with a matte finish, every time I wear it I get compliments. Its easy to apply with a brush or your finger tips, bronzers and blushes work well on top of this product!
Tips: Make sure your skin is normal to oily and don't be afraid to use powders on top.
I love this product, its my favorite cheaper bb cream must have. It covers well but feels light like a moisturiser. I wear it everyday under makeup and by itself on weekends
Tips: Dont use too much or it feels greasy I reckon
I found this bb cream a little too sheer for me, I had used another brand previously which provided better cover than this one so was disappointed. I also found the colour wasn't quite right for me which I guess didn't help it's case. It did moisturise well though but did leave me a little shinier than I would like.
