Garnier Skin Perfector BB Cream Anti Ageing Review

OK - So I took some time to be convinced about BB Creams. If I wasn't selected for this Trial, I have to say I would probably still be a BB Cream virgin.

This BB cream makes a lot of promises, and being a bit of a BB skeptic, I was really keen to try it out! (If I'm being honest, I really wasn't expecting much).

First off; the packaging - nothing too fancy and probably what you would expect from a mid-range product. Discard box, pop cap, squeeze tube...

Oh, the scent! I really loved the fresh smell of the cream. Others have commented it's over-powering but I found it to be pleasant. Nice one!

The cream; I found the Medium shade was a good match for my skin tone. It is much thicker than what I expected, and blended nicely to give an even and smooth appearance. It also did a great job of covering up all the redness across my cheeks I'm forever trying to conceal. (Now THAT is a miracle). I usually prefer a heavier coverage to even out my skin tone, but this gave surprisingly good coverage and I found it enough.

All in all, it's a great product and I will definitely keep using it. It did do what it actually said it would, and that deserves a huge pat on the back, Garnier!

I found this product amazing! Thick and creamy and luxuriously silky. I put it on straight after my shower in the morning, and did not have to reapply at all. Has a slight scent that I notice to be the same for all Garnier products that I have used. I had no blemishes during my 7 day trial to know (thankfully) if it helps correct them but it did make my skin glow, so my 'laugh lines' and 'concentration crease' weren't as noticeable.

I am really happy with the way my skin is looking since using this BB cream. It covers my uneven skin tone, redness and blemishes. Its like applying a refreshing moisturizer but it contains a lovely foundation coverage. It feels nice and light on my skin and i am so happy that it contains SPF. It definitely saves me time in the mornings as i only need to apply this cream instead of a moisturizer, foundation and sunblock. Basically it is a miracle cream.

I have really enjoyed using this product it feels like velvet on the skin and offers a nice light coverage. Its makes your skin feel hydrated and firm and has a nice consistency. It has a pleasant smell that doesnt last on the skin. Has good packaging being in a tube so hygenic to use.

Nicely surprise about this product, it did better than I expected. I got a mix skin but the older I get the dryer it is. So using this cream really helps keeping it hydrated during the last cold days.

I got the medium shade and it really blend with my skin colour. My hubby was looking at me and saying that I look different (in a good way) but he didn’t know what it was. I think that was my favourite thing that it looks natural as you are not wearing anything but your skin is brighter.

The consistency is thick and it is very easy to apply. I just use my fingers. In the morning while I am hurrying the kids up, I don’t have much time for anything so I just use the BB cream and nothing else. It last me the whole day.

It has a mild nice fragrance that I also like.

The packaging is ok, nothing special.

I think the price is very good for what it has to offer as you don’t need much. The tube will last me for a while.

Thankfully being 23 I have no signs of aging.. Yet. But I have a few imperfections and worries which this particular BB cream says it covers. It was an interesting trial as it was the same week as the dreaded time of the month (TMI I know, sorry).

The first thing i noticed was the smell, as with the Garnier 'Normal' skin BB cream I found the same, but the anti aging cream does smell a little better even though it would be great if it didn't have a scent at all. I found it got worse as the day went.

The next thing I noticed was the consistency. It looks thick, but it applies really smoothly. As with all foundations, I prefer applying with a flat top brush. Gave me a dewy finish, but only lasted half the day. The other half of the day my face got really greasy.

The first day, I felt some sort of tingling just after I applied the bb cream. I wasn't sure if it was a reaction to it, or if it was something the cream did, I have applied it everyday this week and it definitely was not a reaction. Although as the week went on I started breaking out! And again, not sure if it was the "monthly".

As this week has gone by I have noticed my skin has felt a bit firmer but apart from that I haven't really noticed any other visible changes.

Pros: * Dewy finish * Applies really well

Cons: * Having oily skin, my face got greasier as the day went on * My face went blotchy/ looked cakey from putting powder on throughout the day to hide the oilyness * Strong fragant smell, that stays all day.

I have normal mature skin and received the medium BB cream.

The cream was thick, but very easy to apply leaving a light matt finish, which i applied with a brush. Total coverage, blended in well with my skin tones and lasted all day .Leaves the skin feeling hydrated all day. I did use my usual moisturiser first. The BB cream has a very pleasant sweet floral perfume. As far as the "reducing wrinkles" i will need to be using this cream for the 4 weeks they recommend. . The packaging is pleasing to the eye and self explanatory. Very reasonably priced considering the small amount that one uses. Yes i would buy this again and recommend to my friends.
