Garnier Skin Perfector BB Cream Anti Ageing Review

This review isn’t going to be about the “miracle cream that changed my life” – in 6 days of use it’s a big ask and a bit difficult to tell whether it really has reduced my wrinkles and left me with firmer skin (and if I didn’t notice, then nobody else commented on how I’d knocked 10 years off my appearance either!)…but I WILL tell you why I liked it and why I’ll be buying it myself when I’ve used this review tube.

I use a tinted moisturiser as my daily foundation, and was interested to see how the Garnier product would fare. First thing I noticed was the pleasant smell – much better than both the salon and supermarket brand products I have used in the past.

The product also had a pleasing, thick creamy feel to it, as opposed to a slightly thinner, watery consistency of another brand I have used. It spreads in nicely and actually feels like there is something there doing its job of moisturising and covering your skin.

The tint (light) was a good match for my winter colouring…and even when I applied too much and had to work at blending it in, I didn’t look like I’d been into the fake tan! Speaking of which (and I’m still trying to get the application correct), don’t use too much, a little really does give good coverage so you don’t need to plaster it on.

Once blended in, it has a moisturising feel to it that I much preferred over another brand I have used which tends to ‘dry’ on your skin to a powdery finish. I have a couple of blemishes on my face and the product gave good coverage of those without me feeling I should also apply a concealer.

If I had to find a negative, it’s not with the product itself, but with the packaging. What I didn’t like so much was the fact that the plastic cap felt a bit brittle – I have the clumsy gene and am prone to dropping several items per day and I just know that this will end up on the bathroom tiles soon…and when it does I bet the lid will crack. A shame that it isn’t the same type of softer plastic that toothpaste tubes lids are made from.

First of all, thank you for the opportunity to be chosen to trial this product. I found this cream quite heavy for every day use and stopped using it on the fourth day. I found this cream thicker to apply than other tinted moisturisers that I have used and it stayed oily throughout the day. Whenever I blew my nose, the cream rubbed off onto the tissue - it also rubbed off onto my clothing. However, the colour suited my complexion but instead of applying it with my fingers, I should have used make up sponge - I think the coverage would have been better. I wouldn't use this particular BB cream again, but I would recommend it to my friends with dry skin but not combination or T-Zone.

I enjoyed using the Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector BB Cream. On application my skin feels firmer and fuller. I love the coverage this product gives and I only needed to use a small amount to achieve an even skin tone. The smell is neutral and not overpowering and is a good fragrance overall when you are wearing something all day on your skin. I found the product really long lasting and didnt need any touch ups during the day. I think I would need powder over top in summer though as my skin can be a little oily. I like that it felt light on my skin and doesn't seem like you are wearing a lot of makeup yet still delivers ample coverage and even skintone. Because you only need a small amount of product to get great coverage this product is good value for money.

I have been using this product for a week now and have tried different methods of application. I found it easier to apply with my finger tips. The light colour is quite dark, it is thick so not much product is needed, it does go a long way. I found it gave me good coverage, however, I still felt I needed foundation during the working week. I was happy to wear it alone at the weekend without foundation or powder. I think this is priced right for what it is, the packaging is simple, it is easy to see that it is a BB cream. Unfortunately, it did not do everything it states it would do for me, it did not make my skin feel firmer in 4 hours and I don't believe it reduced the appearance of any of my fine lines. This is the first BB cream I have used, so, although I would be able to tell friends about the product, I would not necessarily recommend this particular brand. This was a nice trial to do, I think I will be happy to stick with moisturiser in the future.

This was tested on a sensitive skin type with an oily t-zone and blemish scarring.

In regards to the consistency I did not mind the thickness though the nozzle was too wide and so too much came out.

It is easy to apply. I just used my fingertips. The coverage lasted all day.

The fragrance is pleasing to my senses and smells like roses.

This gives a good coverage though darker blemishes are still visible to the eye. This did look too shiny on the t-zone area.

I believe the pricing is fair and the packaging is good but as mentioned earlier the nozzle is too wide and also the tube colouring does not represent the correct tone of the BB cream.

I have combination skin and i found this product very moisturising. However i have fair skin, and i found my skin to look an unnatural orange so maybe it is suited to olive skinned girls. It is a nice light consistency and provided a nice shine. A product like this would be great if you do not like the heavy covrerage of foundation, but i would not purchase again because of the colour on me and the price is expensive. Packaging wise it is nice and bright, very easy to read ingredients and get an even consistency of product with the toothpaste tube.

i like a face cream with a tint this was easy to put on and i didnt need to use alot i would go out to buy this. my skin fells soft and i think the lines on my forehead arnt as deep as were
