Garnier Skin Perfector BB Cream Oil-Free Review

I didn't like this product. Maybe its just my skin type but I found the product felt that it sat heavy on my face. (if that makes sense!) I didn't find the coverage that great either..

BB Creams are a fave in summer. The fact that they are light and easy to chuck on with some powder, mascara and lippy and you are good to go is quick and easy. The lightest shade in this range is a little too dark for me but perfect when i'm a bit darker in summer. It gives good coverage and have the added SPF is a bonus! Pretty decent price, worth giving it a try!

This was the first ever bb cream I owned and actually just released that I don't have oily skin and have not bought the normal skin one. To me this was an alright bb cream but that was probably cause it was the wrong formula for me. I ended up purchasing this over the maybelline bb cream due to it being cheaper and I also preferred how it was in a skinny tube so took up less space for travelling. When i first started using it i wasn't a fan due to it is quite a thick formula and I did not have a proper beauty sponge. I found for me that using one of those wedges sponges would absorb all the product and made it has to blend out. I have found that now using the Real Techniques Miracle Complexion to apply my bb creams that this formula doesn't get absorbed into the sponge and is way easier to blend out. It covers up all my redness well and still leaves my skin looking natural and flawless. I liked this bb cream and have purchased it again for the normal skin types.

I have very sensitive skin and in 2 weeks my face hasn't reacted at all to this cream, so I would recommend for people with sensitive faces. It gives nice coverage and doesn't look cakey.

I've been using normal Garnier BB for years now. I love it, it's my favourite of all the BBs I've tried, and the cheapest. It's a fab product that perfectly suits my lifestyle as a stay at home mum. I like to feel confident in "my" skin but a full face of makeup is a bit much for playcentre and supermarket runs.

The one issue I have with the normal variety is that at the end of the day my skin does get a little oily. I have combination dry/oily skin that is also reactive. I wouldn't normally choose to use a targeted product for pimple prone skin as I've had issues with them actually causing pimples in the past. However, in the interest of experimentation and discovery I put my hand up for this trial.

Upon opening the tube I was initially surprised at the consistency. Unlike the other varieties I've tried, which are almost mousse-like, the oil-free version is very thin and almost pours out of the tube. I can see why it has different packaging to the other varieties, the standard bottle would let far too much product escape. The consistency is a little off-putting to be honest but it doesn't affect the application to a huge degree it just takes some getting used to.

I was also struck immediately by the smell. There is a STRONG smell of alcohol, which I'm not used to as I generally avoid alcohol in products where possible. I haven't actually checked the alcohol content of my normal BB so it probably has it too but it certainly doesn't confront me like the oil-free BB does.

I managed to achieve a nice finish with this product but it's perhaps a little more sheer than the normal finish (probably because of the consistency). I found the colour seemed slightly harder to blend into my own than I'm used to but this could be more to do with the fact that I am sick and haven't seen the sun in months being mid-winter rather than the tint.

As for the oiliness I normal suffer? I definitely noticed a difference. There was less sheen at the end of the day. I often get the odd break out from makeup if I wear it every day but this week I haven't gotten any which is great because less pimples leads to less makeup and so on breaking the cycle.

Will I buy again? Well the verdict is still out. I don't LOVE this product like I do the normal variety. Maybe it's just loyalty but I'm not fully on board with this new runnier BB cream. I'll continue with the tube though and if it doesn't cause a flare up of dry skin or irritation I may just jump ship.

i have fair toned skin. I bought this when it was on offer to trial it out hoping it would be a good alternative to foundation just for work. I was looking for a natural face for work but it seems that every time i put this on my face it made it look orange. The coverage is good and it does not feel heavy on my face it does everything it said it would but it would be perfect if it didn't have an orange tint. I bought the one that was for oily combination skin in fair to medium! I have already thrown it out not a good look. If it wasn't orange tint it would be perfect and perhaps a lot more epensive!

I actually love this BB cream I think It really goes on well and looks great on my skin but every time I use it I break out, I don't break out when I use my foundation and I've generally got clear skin this is the only product that gives me pimples which is such a shame because I really like it.

This is one of my favourite BBs! It looks amazing on skin and covers up spots so well. The only downside for me is the smell (it's quite alcoholy) but apart from this it's awesome! I wear this on it's own and it's just so natural and fresh looking.

I found this quite good. During the day I found it did oxidize a little bit causing me to have an orangey face (not so hot!). But it does go on smooth and has a good amount of coverage whilst still looking natural.

Honestly, I have bought and re-bought this product 4 times now, I am in LOVE with it. It has a matte finish and is quite subtle but has great coverage. It covers the pores on my face (nose especially) and has a 'flawless' finish, just like it said it would on the box! Its light and doesn't have a 'cake-y' affect at all. The cons of that however is that it doesn't last for ages like some cake-y foundations/BB creams do (my skin kind of absorbs it a little) though that's not enough to lower the overall rating. I love it and will continue to use it!
