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.

BB Cream - Amazing!

As a long time wearer of BB Cream, I am glad there is now a product targeted at combination or oily skin tones. This BB Cream did not irritate my sensitive, breakout prone skin nor did it dry my skin out. I am left with an evenly toned matte surface to work with daily. As a teacher with very busy schedule runnin around after students, I am impressed with the longevity of this Bb Cream, I am often able to wear the same make up from day to night without having to do a completely fresh application - a feet touch ups is all that is needed. I did find that I needed to use good quality night moisturiser to ensure good BB Cream results the next day. All in all, this is a great product! I will buy again and continue to use to see if the long term advantages will work for me!

Tips: Put white tops on after applying BB Cream, the product is thin and has a tendency to 'drip' from the bottle rapidly!

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.

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 Time User of BB Cream

Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector BB Cream Oil-free SPF 15 arrived at my door right on time. I applied it to my face each morning after cleansing and toning. Application was easy with product's smooth texture and consistency. I evened out my skin tone, gave my skin youthful glow with out unattractive shine, pore size appeared significantly smaller. However, I did require additional concealer coverage of two small pimples. I made me feel good knowing it provides sun protection with SPF 15. I would use it again and recommend it to my family and friends.

Tips: Do not over apply and wash your hands before handling clothing and other items.

Ok product

The consistency is very runny so can be hard to apply. The product had good coverage for a bb cream, and depending on your skin type you might not even need to wear anything else on your face. The product did keep me oil free

Tips: using fingers is easiest to apply. Product is a bit thin to use a brush

Garnier miracle skin perfector BB cream

Garner BB cream is fantastic. It gave me an all day clean, fresh, smooth, Matt finish on my face, covering my skins imperfections. It was very quick and easy to apply the cream. Which worked with my morning routine as I don't have a lot of time due to getting myself and the kids ready. The colour matched in with my skin tone and I never had to reapply at all during the day. I also liked the fact that it didn't have a strong scent. I will definitely be using this again as it has ticked all the boxes for me.

Oil free!

It really was oil free, and throughout the day I didn't manage to get any more oily than I already am! The colour wasn't great on, even though it was the lightest one, as I am quite pale. I could have done with a shade lighter, but it didn't look terrible on as it seemed to blend ok.

It had good coverage, and it stayed all day with no top ups, even when I got sweaty. My face is quite sensitive when it comes to using different products, however it didn't break out. It was easy to apply and left a good finish.

I would recommend this!

Pleasantly surprised

I really disliked the original formula of this BB cream, it didn't dry nicely, it had poor coverage and it didn't last well. This formula is the complete opposite! Beautiful velvet finish, decent medium coverage, long lasting. Although as with the original formula the colour is slightly too dark, but a bit of good blending and it's not too bad. I think I will repurchase this!

Garnier Miracle skin Perfector BB cream-oily skin

I have used this every day since I have received it. Although it is the lightest shade, unfortunately it is still a tad dark for my skin.

I really liked the consistency of this product, it's light and easy to apply. Not at all heavy and doesn't feel like it clogs up my skin, which is great for my oily complexion. It works great as a primer before my foundation giving me extra coverage and evens out my skin tone. I have used it by itself also, which if it was just a bit lighter in colour it would be perfect. So I needed to apply my foundation over the top if I was leaving the house.

It has a nice scent to it, not overpowering. And if feels like it works well for my skin. I haven't broken out at all since using it, in face it does look brighter and more even after using it for a week already.

I would definitely recommend this product for anyone e with oily combination skin as it gives a matte finish and stays that way. A great alternative to wearing foundation when you want a lighter more natural look. It's also at a great price point so it's easily affordable and you don't need to use a lot so it will last you quite a while. I'm very impressed by this product I just wish their was an even lighter colour for my skin.

Tips: A lot can come out when squeezing the tube so be careful not to squeeze too hard as you don't need to use a lot This product is great to use as a primer helping your foundation to give fuller coverage and lasting longer throughout the day

Is Garnier BB Cream Right For You?

From my experience this product lived up to what it claimed it would achieve such as minimise my pores, cover any imperfections, and provide a good coverage for an even looking complexion with a matt finish that lasts throughout the day.

I only trialled the product for one week so cannot comment on whether it would actually reduce the overall pore size (but I doubt it would make a difference as generally this is a permanent condition), however, it certainly refined the appearance of my pores while wearing the product.

The texture of the product is lightweight and somewhat runny so a little bit of product goes a long way and since it is highly pigmented it provides a really good coverage for a BB cream.

It would be a great product for someone with oily skin as I found my skin felt a little bit tight and dry wearing it just on its own so tried applying it following my moisturiser which worked like a treat. With the arrival of winter my skin is currently more dry combo than oily combination skin as it tends to fluctuate with the seasons.

The product comes in a handy tube packaging that you could easily keep in your handbag for touch ups during the day or after the gym etc. The box is covered in marketing material that informs you about everything you need to know about the product and has some helpful tips too!

The other added bonus is that it has a UV protection of SPF 15 and with its oil free texture it can work well as a base for makeup and then you only need to apply foundation or concealer in the areas required.

Tips: Start by only using a small amount of product and then build the coverage up to achieve your desired result. Apply a touch of mascara, blush and lipgloss and you have a fast and easy natural day makeup.
