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.

Love it <3

I love this bb cream it works perfectly for my skin type. I usualy use this when i dont have time to put on my normal makeup and im in a rush. It makes oyu look like your not wearing anything while still covering your skin. Always fixes my red cheeks when i have discolouration.

Its really cheap also so i dont mind buyig it and i know im getting my monies worth!

I love how 1 colour fits so many of my friends faces as well.

Miracle Skin indeed

I’ve been using the Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector BB Cream in medium for the last 6 months and am completely loving it.

It’s quite a runny consistency, however applied with a foundation brush a little goes a long way and covers a lot. It smells lovely and sets well on it’s own, leaving you with a nice matte finish. I use it under foundation as a primer and on it’s own. Both ways it looks amazing. It’s great for evening out uneven skin tones and tends to brighten my dark under eye circles.

In summer it was a nice, lightweight alternative to full coverage foundation and held up well on those hot humid days. Now in winter, it’s giving me a bit of much needed colour and helping to keep me skin looking fresh and glowy.

Medium colour matches well with Olive and Polynesian skin tones.

Tips: A little goes a long way, so use it to build up coverage.

Incredible coverage

Absolutely loved the product! I had assumed a BB cream would give less coverage, but I can totally see this replacing foundation entirely! I experimented with different applications, and found applying with a sponge over a touch of concealer (for under-eye circles) gave me best coverage for minimum product.

Tips: I did get a bit of shine later in the day, which I only get with some products, so a mattifying powder over top might be needed for some skin types.

Wow, love the glow!

I was a bit sceptical using this as I have tried a few different BB creams before and was disappointed but this one really surprised me! I could notice the difference straight away. The formula is not too light but not to heavy and blended into my skin very easy. The only negative thing about this product was that it did seem to flow out of the tube quite quickly, meaning you could end up with more product then you needed.

Tips: I'm going to buy another one to keep in my bag for touch ups. Love it!

Fantastic!

WOW! this is awesome. I am a stay at home mum so I don't use make up often. But once I've applied this it looks like I have spent some time doing what I would usually do to go out for the night! It is super easy to apply and blends nicely around the hair line jaw area. It has lasted a whole day without fading, its fabulous! So even if I just whip out to the supermarket I still look like I have makeup on. My skin no longer looks oily once applied and the light shade is a perfect match. So great!

Tips: Don't apply too much! Apply with your fingers, easier to blend in.

Unexpected Love

This is the first BB cream I have tried. Being fair skinned with freckles, redness and acne scarring I did not consider myself a BB girl. I always opt for full coverage foundations and only recently after dulling my acne scarring through skincare, have I been able to put down my concealer. I decided to use the BB cream before my liquid foundation, as a lot of girls had mentioned this technique. I applied one thin layer, stood back and admired my reflection. All redness was gone, most of my acne scarring was covered and the colour and coverage was even, matte and smudge proof. On a day off I would have been happy to head to the shops with simply BB cream and mascara, a sentence I never would have imagined myself writing. I do have to wear full coverage makeup to work so I continued my initial path and applied a thin layer of foundation (Rimmel Stay Matte Mousse).

This is where I got a beautiful surprise. Since wearing makeup I have always completely covered my freckles. Not because I don't like them, but because they are duller than my acne scarring, so when I cover the scarring, my freckles end up hidden too. I don't know how it happened, but by layering the Garnier BB cream with a thin layer of foundation, my acne scarring and redness was covered but my freckles were lightly dotted around my nose. I have never been so happy with my face! My skin was glowing, yet still matte and the coverage was absolute perfection.

I had a busy day at work, from 9-5.30 and I didn't reapply any powder or use blotting sheets. I caught a quick glimpse of my reflection when reapplying my lipstick and was impressed to see that the colour and coverage had remained the same. When I checked my reflection at 6pm, it looked almost exactly the same as when I had applied it that morning. There was no oiliness, nothing had rubbed off and nothing had gone patchy.

The Garnier BB cream is a beautiful product, which I never thought would have a place in my routine. I will not hesitate to continue to use the combination of the Garnier BB cream and foundation, and will use the BB cream on its own on my days off. I feel like I am no longer hiding my skin or wearing a mask of makeup. My skin looks flawless yet natural and I continues to do so throughout the day. Unfortunately the 'light' shade only matches my fake tan, so if I decide to stop fake tanning during winter I may need to look at other options. Overall, I highly recommend this product, even to those who think BB cream isn't for them.

Tips: Combine the Garnier BB cream with foundation for days/nights when you are wanting full coverage that still looks natural.

My miracle!

The only other BB cream I've tried before this one was the Maybelline Dream Fresh BB Cream which was my go to before I tried this out. I have to say that this Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector BB Cream works so much better for me, I think I have a new go to product. I love the packaging of this product because the tube is quite slim so it is definitely beneficial for people that want to have it on the go in their purse or make up bag and the shiny gold brown colour gives it a fresh look. It doesn't have a noticeable scent at all and it is a very thin liquid but has very good coverage. I use it like I would use a moisturiser and apply it with my fingers and it blends really easily and adjusts to my skin really nicely and I found that it is very buildable as it doesn't cake up on my skin. It dries to a matte finish but not so matte that my skin is left looking flat and dull, it gives me a natural glow. It is very smooth on my skin and feels very lightweight. I have quite a few imperfections on my skin with the acne scarring being the major issue but with this the appearance of my pores, my acne scarring and my under eye circles are reduced really well. I wore it underneath my foundation and it gave my foundation a more flawless finish and made my skin look so much healthier. My skin requires the extra coverage so the second time around I used the Benefit Porefessional primer, concealer, powder and liquid foundation but this product did the job surprisingly well the first time I tried it on it's own as well. It lasts the whole day without shifting or melting away and even though my skin is quite dry during the winter season this product still allowed me to look healthy and radiant. I didn't have to do any touch ups. The only negative about this product is that there are only two shades, I used the medium shade because it was the darkest shade available and that was too light for my dark skin which was another reason for me having to put on the foundation over the top but I would still use it again and again and again because I enjoyed it.

Tips: A little bit goes a long way.

Newest BB Cream fanatic

I received the Oil free BB Cream in Medium colour. Being a little sceptical at the claims this BB cream could provide instant results I wanted to start using it straight away! So I did! Opening the courier bag was the Garnier BB cream in a slender box, going of the box presentation alone I would not buy this product. To me the box is extremely over cluttered and busy. I think to appeal to the eye more it could be modernised a bit and remove some of designs\writing on the box.

Opening the box and taking out the BB cream for the first time I unscrewed the cap ready to try it out, the cream oozed out without me having to even squeeze the tube, quickly trying to catch it all, I placed several spots of cream on my cleansed unmoisturised face. It rubbed and blended in effortlessly. My face felt soft and moisturised instantly. My skin had a lovely matt look and it really covered a couple of breakouts I had perfectly. I had planned to use it as a primer under my foundation for my day ahead but I was so happy with the results on its own so applied a little blush and mascara and that was my makeup for the day. Now my day consists of running around after my two gorgoeus boys who are 1 and 2 and normally results in a oily shiny face! So by midday I checked in the mirror and my skin was still looking and feeling the same as it did when I had applied the BB cream almost 6 hours ago! Very impressed! Normally by this time my foundation would be wearing off and I would be shiny! That night we had plans of going out to dinner with family, so after my shower I applied a little face moisturiser and then the BB cream, on top of that I applied my foundation, my foundation glided over the BB cream and my skin looked evenly tonned with a nice glow, no red spots no blemishes - nothing! It was flawless!! I was impressed yet again!! I felt pretty and ready for a fun night with the family!

The following day I used the BB cream again on its own, applying a little moisturiser first. Now I never go into town shopping without my makeup on so it was a big deal for me to go with just the BB cream and some mascara. But it felt lovely and light and fresh. My skin has a lovely matte appearance but still a nice glow to it. Its stayed like this all day, no need or want to reapply or put foundation over the top. Today I've applied just the BB cream again on its own. And have noticed today my skin seems tighter or firmer to touch. It felt silky too so obviously my skin is loving the mineral goodies contained in this fabulous cream!

I'm going to admit I'm a new BB cream fanatic!! I love it! I love not having a cakey, thick makeup, shiny face anymore!! My skin feels soft, moisturised and it can breath! No more blocked pores for me! Can't wait for summer! This will be all I need (plus my mascara of course)! I love that it has some sun protection also! Thankyou BR for the opportunity to review this fantastic product! I'm hooked!!

Tips: Definitley don't be afraid to wear this on its own without foundation! Its lovely!

newbie to BB cream

When I first opened package which was sleek and elegant tube found consistency runny with oil type feel and fragrance smelt of vanilla with a hint of alcohol but upon application it worked well with hand but tried flat top foundation brush to make blending easy a classic foundation brush leaves streaks. BB cream dried with powdery matte finish and didn't stick to dry patches, has soft velvet smooth finish did not fade or crease though out a days wear. Would recommend BB Cream looks great, feels great and at a affordable price

Miracle BB Cream

I received the BB cream in Medium. Upon opening the box and admiring the the beautiful oft and tiny bottle i opened and realized that maybe I was intact more a "light" than a medium. never the less after my shower i tried the BB cream out. the consistency was really runny and this surprised me i have always had really thick BB creams. I put the BB Cream (probably too much as it flows out of the bottle) onto the top of my hand and just used my finger to dab it a bit on my hand then rub it in on my face. It was so easy to blend with my fingers and its coverage is amazing. I built it up in some places to reduce redness and it did so well. I am a user of fake tan and after a fresh tan this medium color worked perfectly on me. After wearing it for about 16 hours i checked myself before i removed it and i still looked just as flawless as i did when I put it on. This product is amazing and I would almost compare it to a light coverage foundation, thats how well it covered my skin. It left me with a slightly dewy finish but was still quite matte.

Tips: dab on hand first then rub into face so you aren't putting too much on your face at a time. A little goes a long way
