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.

The best bb cream I've tried

It's such a fantastic bb cream. It gives great coverage and lasts the whole day. It's also great because if you need thicker coverage or feel you need more later in the day you can just put another layer on without washing the other one off. I like that it's quite liquidy makes it a lot easier to get a good even application. It gives a really nice matte finish which lasts. Great for someone like me who is a chef. Even at the end of a long shift it's still matte and has good cover.

Tips: Applying a second layer if you need extra coverage.

Flawless skin

I trialled the shade in 'light'. The consistency is very liquidy, I was expecting more of a cream. However the finish is flawless, slightly dewy not matte like the description states, but very natural with a velvet soft finish. Covers all my red discoloration , evens out skin tone. I have used this instead of foundation by building up to two layers, and I found a huge reduction in breakouts in my problem areas (chin and temples). There is a slightly alcoholic scent to it, but fades very quickly. I will definitely repurchase this product.

Tips: Squeeze the tube gently! This product is liquid, so comes out very fast. I learnt from experience when first opening it and it went everywhere.

Great results

I've tried quite a few bb creams and have had mixed results-one that didn't absorb properly, one that wasvery shiny and a few that the colour looked bad. I did expect to find a bb cream that would deal with all these issues but this one does. It absorbed quickly, was matte and the colour suited me perfectly. I love that it looks so natural yet covers imperfections so well. I found you don't have to use much so will last me a while and I didn't need to touch it up during the day.

Tips: For my skin I found it smoothed on better when I moisturized first.

BB cream

The product is a decent size and thin enough to be about to pop into a handbag for a touch up when needed.

I preferred to apply the BB cream with a make up sponge for a good coverage, I tried with my fingers and a make up brush but it did not give the desired result of smooth coverage.

It is very light and possibly a bit too runny but it is oil free and doesn't give you a glossy look throughout the day.

It's something I would wear for a day where I want to look a bit brighter in the face but not go all out with make up.

Also a bonus of being SPF 15 for a little more protection.

Overall I liked the product and will use it again.

Tips: Use under foundation for a brighter appearance and base.

Not bad for a Western BB cream

I have always used Asian BB creams as they are phenomenal, but I was frightened to try a Western BB cream thinking it would just be a glorified tinted moisturizer. I was pleasantly surprised by this product by Garnier. It did as it claimed, keeping my oily skin matte for a long period of time. This is pretty amazing as most products start slipping off my face after a few hours. It has a pleasant fragrance and is easily blended onto the skin (I used my fingers so no need for a foundation brush). I also like that it has SPF in it, sun protection is so important to prevent premature aging. The one thing I didn't like about this product was that even the light colour was too dark for my fair skin (MAC NC15 for reference). I made sure to blend it down my neck but it was still very obvious that I had make up on. Because of this I will not be using the product again. I would happily recommend it to a me oily skinned friend who has a darker complexion than me.

Tips: To get thicker coverage add one layer to the skin and wait for it to dry before adding a second layer. You will be surprised how much this BB cream covers!!

BB Cream

The Garnier BB cream delivered. I tested it a few ways. I wore it under my foundation as a primer for a casual every day look and it worked well. It meant I did not need to wear as much of my expensive foundation to achieve my look. I used it by itself just to even out my skin tone for a matte finish on the school pick up and added a bit of mascara. I was very happy with the natural looking results. I also wore the BB cream from 9am until 10 pm to see if I would get any of the tell tales signs that a break out was on its way which would usually happen after wearing product for so long on my acne prone skin but my face remained oil free and I was pleased with that result. On one occasion my skin was dry in the morning after my cleanse and I did need to apply moisturizer first as I found the BB cream did not spread easily while my skin was in this condition. I love the size of the cream. You don't need much so I felt the 40 ml was generous and excellent value for money. I found the tubes actual packaging quite unnatractive however. The font of the BB cream is quite ugly and budget looking. Overall I am very pleased with the performance and versatility of the product and will use it again.

Tips: If your skin is feeling particularly dry you will need to moisturizer first, wait then apply the BB cream for an even result.

Use the BB cream as a primer to even out your skin tone under your foundation for a dressier look.

First BB Cream that I LOVE!!!

So I'm not really a fan of BB creams. They just seem to make me break out and have super oily skin. I thought Garnier Miracle Skin Perfecter BB cream would just have the same results but I was so wrong. My skin is less oily and I haven't had an signs of a break out. I've only been using it for just over a week and I can defiantly see the changes in my skin. I love how a little goes a long way. I don't have to use a large amount of the cream to cover my face, its a runny light cream, so it covers really well without leaving my skin feeling heavy. I apply it with a sponge and then carry on with my normal make up routine. If I'm not working or planning on leaving the house, BB cream is the only make up I wear. It lasts all day which is awesome. I had a look at the price and it's honestly not that bad. The cream will last awhile which works out cheaper than buying other BB creams that are cheaper yet finish sooner. I am so going to keep using Garnier BB cream. My skin feels amazing, less clogged and I am so happy it's not oily. It's only been a few days so I haven't seen full results yet but the results are there and if you have oily, sensitive, zit prone skin- give Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector BB cream a try. It is soooooo worth it! I'm in love with it. :D

Tips: A small amount gives a great cover. Use the BB cream and then carry on with your normal make up routine. :)

Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector BB Cream Oil-free

I found this Garnier BB cream a terrific product although alas, not the right one for my skin. I have a very oily T zone but my cheeks tend to be dry – I think if you have generally oily skin then this would definitely be a great product for you.

You have to be relatively quick when you are applying it because if you take too long it can start to “drag” on your skin while you finish applying it. The flip side to that though is that because it dries really quickly you don’t really have to wait to apply your make up afterwards. Also, when it dries it almost instantly has an impressive matte finish to it which is brilliant if you suffer from very oily skin. For me though I found the finish a little bit too matte. Also if you have any dry patches of skin it does seem to accentuate these a bit. Again though if you suffer from very oily skin then this would probably be perfect for you. I also found that it was great at reducing the appearance of your pores without leaving them blocked. It definitely evens out your skin tone and covers any blemishes and it doesn’t feel heavy or sticky on your skin. It also lasts all day. It would be good if it had a slight fragrance added to it as currently it just has a non-descript powder type smell. It is slightly more expensive than the current product that I use but you get much better coverage with a smaller amount of product so it probably works about slightly cheaper. The packaging is ok but personally I prefer the shorter wider tubes, which they use for some of their other products, as I find them easier to squeeze the cream out.

If you have generally oily skin and are looking for a superb matte finish then I would definitely recommend this product to you.

Tips: Apply to clean skin, don't apply any moisturiser first. I used this as a base to my mineral powder foundation and it worked very well. I also found that I used much less of my powder foundation than usual to get the same even result.

Finally a BB Cream that works for me!!

So this is the first BB cream that has actually worked for me!! Every other BB cream I have used I have found that the coverage is really minimal and they make my skin SUPER oily! Already having oily skin this is definitely not a good thing! But wow, this BB cream actually works!! My skin looked healthy and had a radiant glow to it, as opposed to being clogged up and shiny. I am really self conscious of my bare face without makeup and I usually never go out anywhere without a full face of makeup, but I found that this product had a good enough coverage that I was able to go out just wearing this with some mascara. I love how you don't need to use much of it either, so it's definitely cost effective. Also the price isn't even majorly expensive like you would think it would be for such a good product! Definitely ticks all my boxes and I am super happy with how it made my skin look and feel!!

Tips: You can use this as a primer or under your foundation for a heavier coverage. Also I found applying with a sponge works best!

bb cream :)

I really liked how it made my skin stay matte through out the day. i found when i first put it on i didn't even need to set it with a powder either which was great! the colour (light) was perfect for me apart from it oxidised a lot through out the day and went quite dark and orange. The formula is really lightweight and depending on how much you apply, when i put it on it looked and felt like skin so it was very natural. I would say it has light to medium coverage. It covered up my uneven skin tone but I could still see my scaring and imperfections underneath but that is expected from a bb cream to give a natural look. It doesn't make me break out but because I have eczema on my face it dried that out a bit more than usual. overall a great bb cream for the price. My biggest and main downfall for it though was the fact that it went darker and orange as the day went on which was very frustrating but I personally use it as a base/primer under foundation and it works really well :)

Tips: apply with fingers, this can be used as a primer/base before foundation to give extra coverage and help prevent shine throughout the day.
