This is probably the better BB creams available in drugstore that I have enjoyed. I really like the nice light coverage I get and the way it evens out my skin tone. This is definitely an everyday makeup product that is perfect for the day time. I have had a hard time finding a good BB cream and so it is nice I have found this one. A good purchase and I recommend!
I so wanted to like this :( but this made my skin an oliy mess. I tried mixing it with a matte foundation and/or applying a matte powder on top...Only few hours later i was shiny like a discoball...Not for me...definitely won't be repurchasing...I will give it another try this winter as i hate throwing out almost full items :(
This BB Cream costs around $11 at any drugstore & comes in 3 shades (light/medium and medium/dark and dark) & 3 formulas (anti-aging and normal skin and combination/oily skin) I tried the combination/oily formula in medium/dark because thats what I've heard the best reviews on. My first comment regards the packaging. It was very messy, the product poured out of the opening even when stored right side up, and continued to spill. It has a pleasant not chemically scent, but is definitely fragranced which led me to break out even though it claims to not break you out. On the plus side it blended nicely & the shades are quite forgiving because the coverage is lower than any tinted moisturizer I've used. When first applied to my combo skin it stuck to dry patches & within 4 hrs was very oily & transferred easily. I then tried it with a primer & setting spray which did not help with the dryness, but maybe added an hour to staying power. This product made me break out extensively & was returned. I would not recommend this product.
THIS PRODUCT HAS CHANGED EVERYTHING. I had heard the miracle stories of BB Creams and had to investigate. I was nervous because I have normal to oily skin, so many moisturizers (tinited or not) tend to leave me with a face that looks like a dipped my head in a bucket of olive oil. This was not the case at all with Garnier B.B. Cream. It sits wet for a minute or so, then absorbs perfectly. Now concerning the color, I was also hesitant of only a light/medium or medium/dark option. Once again I was not disappointed. Without makeup my face paler than the characters from those Twilight movies, and I cannot get it tanned to save my life. I went for the light/medium variety and I am STILL astounded at how well it matched the skin tone of the rest of my body. I just apply it with my fingers like moisturizer and it has yet to leave any lines or orange tint. It has a subtle shimmer/glow that has made me look so much healthier, considering I am underweight and a bit malnourished from a digestive condition known as gastroparesis. I have received so many compliments all in the manner of "Wow, you must be feeling better because your color is back!" They have no idea that this it's just this one product. That's the other thing. "ONE PRODUCT". With the first couple of uses I was still trying to pair this with my normal concealers and finishing powder for those monthly hormonal trouble spots. Not anymore! I am completely convinced this is actually improving my skin overall. I am no longer finding the need to wear any other products other than mascara and some shadow, which also facilitates in letting my skin breathe and stay healthy. Speaking of healthy, the SPF is an added bonus. Garnier only provides SPF 15 at this time, but for me that's fine. My face does not tan or burn, so simple protection suits me well. I feel no need to dig dipper into my wallet for designer B.B. Creams with a high SPF when Garnier is a respectable drugstore brand that is doing just as well. I was already a loyal Garnier fan from the Nutrisee hair coloring system to their Moisture Rescue Gel Moisture. It is nice to be able to trust them with the final steps in the beatifying process.
I have a oil skin and when i try the BB creme is perfect to remove the sebum . I use when i go to outdoor and my skin is perfect after.
I have dry skin but still it breaks down on my skin and makes me look super shiny within a couple of hours. I like the rosy scent and the texture when I first apply it but soon after that it disappears and also kind of oxidizes.
I love the way this product covers minor blemishes and smoothes over uneven skintone areas while at the same time protecting against sun damage. I like the scent and feeling on my skin.
