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.

Garnier Has changed my View

I have used many BB creams and not thought alot of them. Garnier Miracle BB cream does everything it says it will and I will happily keep using it. I have been using it now for 5 days and love it it covers well hides a scar I have on my cheek stays on all day and has improved the overall apperance of my skin. it is light to wear does not dry out the skin absorbes instantly and has a wonderful matt finish. I have sensitive skin and had no problems at all it .I would highly reccomend this product to anyone :)

Not bad but not personally suited for me

Packaging was great as it’s in a narrow squeezable tube that means that when you reach the bottom you’ll not have to cut away at it to get the very last drops out, which makes it a very affordable product compared with other types of packaging on the market.

The formula itself seems to be too runny, it squirted out all over the place on first application, and it didn’t have any fragrance as far as I could tell which is great. As I normally apply my BB cream by the use of a makeup sponge, I tried this first but the product got soaked up into the sponge, so a finger and sponge blotting method was best for me. I did find that the colour was slightly on the peachy/yellow side which did nothing for me.

I also used it on my face in different ways too, by trying it with a primer underneath which resulted in the best coverage and lasted all day with no shiny marks finding their way through. Without primer on its own, this let shiny marks and didn’t make it through the day. With powder on top, with primer, this just kept it in place with no shine until time to wash off. With powder on top, with no primer this kept the shiny marks at bay for a while but not for all day wear, needed to blot out the shine.

My verdict is that I am not very impressed and most likely won’t be purchasing again, not only did it not cover my shiny areas but it also dried out the areas of my face that are prone to dry skin, so overall it wasn’t a very effective BB cream for me.

Tips: I would probably use this as a tinted moisturiser rather than a BB cream with either a primer under or primer/powder

Pleasantly Surprised

I was very keen to try this product as I've never used a BB cream before. Generally when I put something on my face, it feels clogged, and I sweat. This is so light, I was amazed at how it felt. No shine, a lovely matte finish which I love. My nose is very greasy and I couldn't see any grease at all for the whole time I had the product on. Long lasting and certainly does as it says! I'm converted!

Tips: I found it easier to dab dots on my face, then blend in, rather than put on 'like moisturiser' as instructed on the packet

Better than expected

I was really excited to try this BB cream as I had heard good things from friends about this so I had quite high expectations and after using this every day for the past week it has really lived up to these! For myself this has been a great alternative to wearing foundation every day, as during the week I don't like to wear to much makeup. I really love this product and it has definitely been the best BB cream I have used. I much prefer this to a tinted moisturiser as it has better coverage and with oily patches tinted moisturiser can leave me looking a bit shiny. The consistency is very runny which makes it easy to apply with a foundation brush and blend easily over your face, only a small amount is needed as a little goes a long way. The medium colour was perfect for me. It looks very natural and leaves a very even look over my whole face with a nice matte finish which is just what I like. My pores and imperfections were definitely less visible, it had really great coverage especially when I applied a second coat I thought it looked better than my current foundation. I can't wait to use this in summer as it is lightweight but still gives a great coverage and helps with the oily patches on my face. It lasts well throughout the day but a downside for me is that even though it feels like it is dry it still comes off quite easily when clothing touches my face. This is an amazing BB Cream for such a low price and can be purchased almost anywhere. Overall I feel this is a great product and does everything it says it will. I will be recommending it when asked what BB cream I have found to be the best and definitely buying it once this one has run out.

Tips: Use with a foundation brush otherwise it can be quite messy

bb cream oily and combination

Absolutely love it.as I have oily skin the bb cream hid that , as it works with my skin.didnt have to use much at all ,it spreads across my face smoothly. It doesn't make you look like you put heaps on .yet you knw you have covered any plimishes \pimples. It says to can apply one coat then another over top again ,perfect for a night out which I did.it just gives a little bit more to the night look.i used just one layer for day time.so its not over the top .it feels to me after you apply like its turned in to powder to set it which is awesome .medium was the colour I choose I wouldn't go any lighter.but for summer would need slightly darker one if any.bonus is that it has spf 15 if you forget sunscreen. At least your slightly covered. Im not sure if my pores are less visable tho as it states. Only need to squeeze the tube a little bit otherwise you will get to much.good size tube ! Face does feel soft as well. Id keep using this bb cream for sure.

Tips: Can use it under make up if need be.

I loved it!

Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector BB Cream Oil-free SPF 15. I have very big pores and as a result I only use powder on my face as a base otherwise my skin feels "trapped" and it feels it cannot breathe under the make up if that makes sense? I was very excited to try the Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector BB Cream Oil-free SPF 15. I have used it everyday and not once have I experienced any sweat or "trapped" feelings on my skin. To me that was the big test as many other products out there will give a smooth round off look. I am so hooked on this. My skin stayed oil free for the full day which was amazing for me!!!! It hides all the pores and gave me a smooth finished look. Thank you for sending me the trial. I am hooked for life.

Tips: It was perfect as it for me so No tips needed this time round.

Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector BB Cream

This was my first time using this and i have to say I loved it. I don't use anything like this on a daily basis anymore so was a bit out of practice but i found it easy to apply, it felt nice on my skin, and i noticed my skin looked even and not patchy. My skin also feels softer and smoother after I've taken it off. Overall I'd have to say i do like it and so far it seems to be doing what it's meant to.

Tips: I found it went on better if I applied it immediately after I cleansed my skin

Does what it says

Great product I have worn it for 5 days now, nice even coverage stays on all day and non greasy, even works well on the dry patches! Of anything I would say a little to orange for me I did mix it with moisturiser to get the right colour for my skin. Overall I would buy this product

Tips: Mix with moisturiser to get colour u need

Pretty darn great!

I have combo skin - I'm generally prone to dry patches on my cheeks, the sides of my nose and my forehead. My nose and chin on the other hand are oily. I'm also prone to redness, I guess it's the English in me!

First impressions - product comes in a box, whilst I'm not a fan of extra packaging, the box is full of product information. This BB Cream is in a different packaging to the rest of the range, it's a slender, long tube with a screw lid, which I do prefer to the clip tops. (I'm heavy handed, and always snap clip tops off) My only gripe is the product does come out of the tube rather fast!

I love BB Cream and I usually go for a medium shade, but as it's Winter I decided to opt for light. Brilliant choice - it's a great match for my skin, and blends well. The product itself is quite runny, which I've not experienced in a BB cream before, but it does make the application really quick and blending easy.

It smells a little like sunscreen, which given it's got SPF in it you can't really complain!

Ok, results time.

Upon first application (after my usual moisturising routine) I found the product easy to apply and blend. The finish was matte, without being flat and dull, and I felt it covered my rosy cheeks really well. However it did cling to the sides of my nose, leaving a flaky finish. Luckily I wasn't leaving the house! My face stayed oil free until my evening shower.

Second time round I really moisturised my face, and applied a primer first. (L'Oreal Lumi Magic, aka, the most amazing primer in the world). I then applied the BB cream to everywhere except my nose crevices. I mixed a little moisturiser with a little BB cream and used the mixture on that area. It worked a treat. Again the finish was sheer and light, not too matte and lasted really well through the day.

I love this BB Cream, being fussy I'd want it to be a bit more rich in moisture, but it's an easy fix by adding my usual moisturiser,

Tips: If you don't get the result you want first time around, play around with it.

Primer makes a huge difference to the application of the product.

Miracle Skin Perfector

This BB feels so smooth and light when you put in on, and it blends super easy. The coverage is awesome, it easily evened my skin tone out. My skin is feeling super soft at the moment and I have been thinking to myself that my pores look less visable lately and then I realised that was one of the claims made about this BB so I would say it's been doing its job! I have worn the BB serveral days and have had a mixed bunch some days my skin stayed matte and others was very oily but both days I did think by the afternoon the coverage had gone and I needed to reapply, using a finishing powder helped a little with this. I will definitely be buying more of this when I run out well worth it!
