I'm pleasantly surprised at this. I didn't expect it to work well on my skin after trying more expensive brands that didnt work, I slfigured I'd start looking at the cheaper hrands. Most brands I've tried either melt off my overly oily t-zone or feel 'sticky' when I touch my face even if I use powder over the top. Not this one! Its light to medium coverage works well at covering most of my freckles and blemishes without looking cakes on like foundation. Light shades of bb cream are generally too dark on my plskin but this is a match. On my second tube and will be buying again!

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.

Reviews
I love this BB cream. I had been looking for a liquid foundation that really just improved th look of my skin without making my skin look caked on or overdone. I wanted to find a product that blended into my skin while blurring imperfections and felt like I was wearing nothing. I wanted a foundation that didn't require too much effort to apply, but something with buildable coverage. I FOUND IT!!! This bb cream does it all and more. It is a dream to apply, I use the expert face brush by real techniques, and apply it over my moisturiser and primer like I would with any foundation. It blends in seamlessly and without fuss. It never looks cakey or streaky, and just sinks into my skin to provide a flawless complexion. I apply a light dusting of power over my t zone and I'm good to go-I use this for day and night looks.
I do notice slight shininess to my nose a few hours after wearing it, but I do have combination skin so I would expect a bit if break through shine, however this is easily fixed with a touch up of powder.
The colour is almost perfect for my skin but now it's getting into summer I may have to start mixing the medium and light shade together to keep up with the rest of my body which I fake tan!
Smells fine, goof sized tube, and you can not go wrong with the price-I think I picked it up for $10.99 at countdown on special-BARGIN!!
Tips: Apply like a normal foundation-I like to use a fluffy foundation brush like the expert face brush from real techniques. I would like to try this with a beauty blender too-I think it would work wonderfully.
Apply a light translucent powered over t zone
I use this bb cream everyday it provides a medium coverage which I prefer. It has a luminous, dewy look when applied but can bet set with a powder to look more satin/matte. I find that it lasts a good 8 hours but by the end can look patchy which I find normal for myself. I am in NC25 and find that it can look the teeniest bit orange so I don't recommend it for people with fair skin. It also has a nice skincare smell to it
I have been using this regularly for a year now. I use it on work days where I don't want to wear a full face of make up. It has great coverage and lasts all day. It smells lovely too.
Tips: I use this as a base when I go out - it provides the moisturiser I need and base coverage I then apply my foundation on top of this.
This is my go to product when I'm in a hurry to get ready for work or of I'm wanting a light coverage during the weekend. It is quick to apply and offers a nice medium coverage, hiding my pores and evening out my skin tone. I use the oil free version as I have naturally oily skin anyway so I find this product helps to mattify my skin. The price and pack size is economic and one tube lasts me months even though I use it daily. I love that it offers an spf15 protection, meaning that through the winter months I don't need to use an additional sunscreen.
I have been using a beauty cake for the last 20 years but I needed something a bit quicker for those days when I was running late or wanted something lighter and I wanted something with a sunscreen. This does it all! It is so quick to apply. It does not leave your skin feeling greasy at all. The coverage is really good too. I suffer from uneven skin tones being a redhead and this evens out the redness and I all I beed to do is apply a couple if layers over the extra places like under my eyes and some blemishes in the t-zone and they all covered. Also the coverage lasts all day and I work in a hot sweaty kitchen! Lastly the price! Such an affordable product, you dont have to use a lot and it is under $15! Thoroughly recommend this BB cream to anyone with oily skin who has struggled in the past.
Tips: I found the best and easiest way to apply was to put a 1cm diameter size in my palm and rub my hands together and apply like a moisturiser. If I used a brush or sponge the coverage just wasn't as good or as even. It dries really quick so you have to be quick. Re-apply in a dabbing motion to hide the more stubborn eye bags ir blemishes.
This is my favourite product for summer. It's light but it still has coverage and is great for combination skin. Perfect for when the weather gets hotter (If it ever does)!
Tips: As it's quite runny you don't need heaps but need to make sure it's properly absorbed.
Finally, a matte BB cream that delivers!
After years of BB creams failing me, oil wise, this one is a gift from the beauty gods! One product that solves skin issues, while covering dark under eyes and tired "mummy skin", it provides an even looking skin tone in one easy step.
Great to use with a matte powder over top, or as an alternative to primer, followed by foundation and powder for an evening, long lasting look.
I use the light colour, especially during the warmer months where I like to let my skin breath with a light coverage. It blends really well using a foundation brush or sponge.
If you have oily skin or like me oily especially leading up to that time of the month, I reccomend you give this BB cream a try. You will not be disappointed.
Tips: Use it as an alternative to primer. Try a tester to tet the right colour for your skin tone.
I so love my BB cream I have used BB Cream since it ever first come out to the shelves years ago! Still till this day I swear by it! Feels so nice when popping it on, doesn’t leave that horrible ugly streaky look on your face! It leaves your skin still feeling fresh than caked on foundation! Absolutely love it! Especially now having a new formula which works well with my skin, a must try x
Tips: I always make sure I don’t use a to high moisturiser on face prior to wearing my BB cream as my face will end up to oily or shiny looking, which I don’t really like, you want a glow to your skin not a shiny look x Enjoy xx
I have quite oily skin especially during the summer and most bb creams won't hold and look right, But this one is amazing! It's definitely the go to if I'm not doing a full face of foundation and the coverage is still great! Awesome value for money too I think I paid 10 dollars for it and I've had the same tube for almost a year now :)
