Way too oily!

I really wanted to like this product as it was the first BB cream I bought - however, I found it was way too oily for my skin. It glides on well, and is very smooth, but I found the fragrance to be too overpowering and a bit 'fake tan' like. After only an hour or so of wearing it, I found that it made my T-zone (particularly my nose) very greasy. I think I'll be trying the oil-free version next time.

PERFECT COVERAGE

I tried the Garnier BB Cream in medium about a month ago. I used it with a foundation brush & just a touch of translucent powder on top,, it left my skin feeling moisturised, light & fresh. I love the healthy glow it gives...

could be used as makeup base

arnier Miracle Skin Perfector BB Cream comes with light and medium colour, i actually selected light one to suit with my skin tone, when i applied on my face, i thought it was too light, but it melt into my skin when i massage it, anyway, the texture is bit hydrating not waxie, i found it out it's really light coverage, but the moisturiser leaves skin looking flawless and feeling healthy.so i decided to use this as make up base before foundation coz it contains SPF. The T-zone of my face was bit oily but acceptable, and it's really inexpensive, RRP around $14 but could get the better deal in priceline or chemistware house for discount.

looks great

I have bad rosacea so i bought the sensitiveskin one. I loved the feel of it on my skin and loved the way it evened out my skin tone. I did find however that i had to apply it really thick on my rosacea which then looked different to the natural look on the rest of my face not affected by rosacea. When i can get my rosacea under control i will certainly use this product again

Too Oily

I tried this BB cream, instead of the oil free version as a stupid mistake, and I really liked how it gave nice, natural coverage, but after a few hours, my skin was just too oily. I'm going to finish the rest of this tube up, as if I use a really heavy setting powder, I can get away with wearing this. However, when it's empty, I will be trying the oil free version.

Oil Slick!

When I first applied this BB Cream, I was happy with the finish and coverage, although after just one hour my skin was an oil slick! Luckily I have since tried the oil free version which I love, although I would definitely not recommend this for oiler girls. For those with dry skin, I think this would be perfect, and the packaging and price point are pretty good too!

Great product to try!

After reading some reviews on the Garnier BB Cream, I was hesitant to purchase as it makes your skin greasy/oily. Nevertheless, I was curious how this BB cream would work as many Asian BB creams were too light/grey on my skin tone.

Surprisingly, I quite enjoyed using this product in particular for Winter where my skin was more dry and less problematic with breakouts. The coverage is definitely light but it does even out your skin tone. Furthermore, with the use of concealer on blemishes, scars and redness you can get away without using foundation on a daily basis. However, with that being said if you like more of a medium to full coverage this product isn't for you.

As mentioned earlier, I used this product during Winter which I didn't find a problem, my skin wasn't oily or shiny. However, I did find that during Summer the product made my skin extra oiler and shiner than usual which I totally hated. I was blotting my face with blotting papers at least 2-3 times a day, which I usually use one b daily basis. Definitely comes to show how oily was getting with this product.

Overall, to sum up this product it gives your sheer coverage that evens your skin tone, it will not cover up blemish spots or scars thats what a concealer us for. For those with combination to oily skin, do expect to have oily and shiny skin if your are planning to use it especially in Summer.

Good product

I find that sometimes whilst applying the BB cream it turns orange,I am not sure if it is reacting with the oils in my skin or what. But, it covers all my imperfections and I love it because it helps control the oils in my skin.

Great for everyday

I love how Garnier has made the BB cream in two shades because I have quite fair skin and often have issues finding similiar products that don't make my skin look too dark.

It goes on smoothly and evenly and doesn't make my skin feel too oily which is good because I am prone to pimples on my chin when using some foundation products.

My skin feels moisturised and soft after applying it seems to last quite a while during the day when I am not wanting to wear too much make up. The tube is easy to open and apply and seals really well for in my bag if I need to touch up my face during the day.

Overall I would recommend this product to anyone for a light covering tinted moisturiser whether you have fair or tanned complexion.

It's called a miracle skin perfector for a reason

I was recommended to try Garnier BB Cream by a friend. A first I was hesitant, thinking that it was all just hype. However, I gave in and purchased it. I must say, that while it doesn't offer enough coverage for acne, what it does do is even out my skin tone and provide a nice healthy glow. I've been using it every morning with a touch of concealer for troubled spots and my regular foundation. I'm loving the glow.

good for light coverage

I have tried Garnier BB Cream in medium shade. I have few blemishes from acne.I think that it does feel quite nice in texture, easy to apply and gives a natural dewy look.the packaging is in easy squeezable tube which is okay. but it only controls oiliness for 3-4 hours,then my skin feels oily again. this BB cream is not for me as it didn't provide me adequate coverage(its not a foundation). It better to apply a good moisturizer and then foundation for a long lasting full coverage.

Does exactly what it claims to do.

This cream was my first BB purchase and I feel no need to shop around for anything else. It does what you would expect it to do, it's the perfect cream for lazy days.

You don't need to use a lot of it and it applies very well with a foundation brush. I use a moisturiser underneath as I use the product more for coverage than anything else.

wonderful

Having highly sensitive skin means I have redness, spider veins, inconsistent skin tone. I have struggled for years to find something that leaves me with even skin tone, reduces redness and doesn't make my skin more sensitive.

This answered my prayers, even skin tone, reduced redness, and leaves my skin feeling light refreshed and not overly oily as the day goes on (something many other products do)
I love it, it makes my life so much easier than having to use numerous other products in numerous tones to attempt to even my skin tone out.

Natural Finish, Decent Coverage but Balls Up

Having heard so many good things about this BB cream, I had high hopes for this 'miracle' product of being a moisturiser, skincare and makeup all in one.

On the skincare front, it provides adequate hydration and kept my face moisturised, even in this cooler and dry winter environment. I also appreciate that there is SPF15 in the product to provide some sun protection and I didn't get any break outs from using it.

In terms of being a makeup and covering redness (which I have a bit around the nose), it did a decent job as there is good mineral pigment in the product and it gave an overall even natural finish. It also fares well with evening out skin tones but I didn't really notice much of an illuminating feature.

I don't think it would be suited to oily skin though as my face was very shiny by lunchtime after using this product. Those with dryer skin type may do better with this BB cream.

One of the biggest issue with this product I had was that it is very fickle with layering of other skincare products. If there are any silicone in a moisturiser, it would cause the product to ball up. It even balled up when I tried to set the BB cream with a loose powder and was buffing it into skin with my powder brush - not very fun when it ruins the makeup and you have to reapply again when you are running late in the mornings!

I'd give it more stars if it didn't ball up with using with other skincare products as it's actually a pleasant product. As it's so temperamental, I only reserve this for days when I don't feel my skin needs a dose of skincare treatments besides a moisturiser which this BB cream provides.

I think there are better BB cream products out there and unfortunately, I won't be finishing this tube.

BH Trial Team

I've tried a few BB creams and Garnier's Miracle Skin Perfector is my favourite. I tried these in Light and Medium and found that both adapted well to my skin. The tubes are 50ml and a great size to throw into a handbag. The fliptop lid makes it easier for application. The cream applies easily and doesn't require blending like other BB creams I have used. The cream itself only After applying the cream I had nice natural glow. I applied the cream twice in order to cover redness and spots better. I do like the fact that the BB Cream is designed for sensitive skin. By the end of the day it had worn off a bit but it's a BB cream for light coverage. If you want something more go a foundation.
Only downside to this BB Cream was that I found it really clung to dry patches on my face so I would recommend exfoliating well if using this. Good product for a great price.

lovely

Feels smooth going on, skin looks even toned and fresh once applied. Skin feels like nothing is on no cakey feeling. Packaging was typical garnier styled but not eye catching. Product has no apparent smell. Product was lightweight, easy to use and apply, which I apply with hand. Product easily applied, I felt relieved to find a easy way to apply makeup daily, it saves time to. I apply the bb cream then on spots that need more coverage I use the mineral makeup I have.

BH Trial Team - Miracle Skin Perfector for Sensitive Skin

I'd like to thank Beauty Heaven and Garnier for inviting me to participate in this Trial Team.

I was sent both the Light and the Medium shades of this new, Sensitive Skin formulation of their BB Cream.

I believe that the packaging is nearly identical to the other formulations - being in a squeezable tube which can easily dole out a particular amount, which is a pretty good design.

My primary problem with this product is that despite being the "least orange" BB Cream I have ever tried - it is unfortunately still too dark for me (being MAC NW 10-15).

The formulation smells nice, it prevents sunburn and doesn't really need powder applied over it (in terms of oil etc.) but whilst inside it looked as if it may well be the right tone for me, when I went outside it was apparent that it was a bit orange on me and in fact when I was wearing it several people asked me if I was feeling unwell...

best out of all!

I've tried bb creams from L'Oréal to maybelline to garnier and garnier definitely wins.
I dont suggest this for oily skins because it can get oily. Thats why they made the oil free one. But other than that, its easy to apply and great for a basic day when you just want to cover up basic imperfections but cant be bothered to apply full makeup. It gives you a natural glowing look.

Great light coverage

I received a sample of this product from Garnier a year ago, but for many reasons (buying a new house being one) was unable to afford this BB cream at full price. Coles had Garnier products for half price last month and I jumped at the opportunity. I LOVE this product. It provides light coverage, so it won't hide everything like a foundation will, but it smooths out skin tone especially when you have red patches like my skin does. Only a little bit is needed. My skin hasn't broken out and I feel like it still allows my skin to breathe.
I gave it a 4 out of 5 because sometimes (and it could be me not drinking enough water), my skin can get a bit itchy later in the day but I learn not to scratch.

Dewy and glowy

This was a great BB cream which gave my skin a lovely, dewy finish. it didn't have a whole lot of coverage, but that's alright as it is a BB cream and not a foundation. The colour was a little light for my skin tone (I had the medium shade), but it could be blended into my skin since the pigment was so light. It is a great look for summer time and for teens who don't want to cake their face with makeup!

A miracle for reducing redness

2 days before receiving this my skin had been in distress with a red rash and inflamed forehead. This BB cream came just in time for my distress and from reading the descriptions it was perfect for me

The creamy formula blended seamless onto my lightly moisturized skin although I would give a tip of using a water based cream as oppose to oil as I found that it streaked and just was messy.

The smell was slightly faint which was bearable on my extreme sensitive skin and I found the coverage was build-able with one layer being sheer coverage but my redness was reduced within 5 minutes.

I loved that it had a build in SPF as it was made for troubled skin. It saved me from piling on layers of cream.

Perfect for any one who wants a simple sheer coverage

BH Trail Team - Sensitive Skin BB

I was really excited to try this as i love my asian brand bb cream but i was quite let down with this product. It didn't cover blemishes in the slightest if anything it emphasised them. The light shade was way to orange for my skin. Normally a light shade suits me well. I found I needed to use some powder as my face became quite shiney and oilly after 3 hours of wear, I think it is for dryer skin types and not my combo skin. It didnt irritate my eyes or skin as the product claims, but the cream is very greasy and caused me to break out. As for the skin correcting properties this product claims to have I didn't see any benefits. I wouldn't purchase this as I needed concealer to cover my blemishes, and powder to stop the shine. This product requires far to much effort to wear so I will be sticking to my normal foundation.

Light and easy

Garnier's BB cream felt like nothing was on my skin but it gave my overall complexion a more even toned canvas. After application I noticed the coverage over blemishes wasn't the best so I cheated and used powder on the top in some areas just to get rid of redness from blemishes.
After application, my skin felt hydrated while being protected with the SPF in the product.
The packaging showcased the product on the box so it was ok.
This BB cream is easy to use and a great alternative to foundation during the warmer months and through out the year.
This product makes my life easier by combining more technologies such as being an illuminator, moisturiser and corrector.

Good BB cream for drier skin types

I tried this BB cream and it suited my skin colour very well without an obvious difference in tone. There was a slight fragrance but it faded quickly plus it didn't irritate my sensitive skin. I only used a pea size for my whole face, so I assume the tube will last quite a long time.

As my skin is a bit on the dry side, this was great in autumn by providing a bit of a dewy look all day without looking 'greasy'. I would definitely recommend this if you only need minor coverage to even things like bit of redness or scars.

Much prefer the combination version. Much too oily this one!

i have owned both the original and the combination/ oily skin version. The clear winner is the combination version. 1st of all i prefer the packaging, its much more classy and less cheap looking. secondly, the coverage is much higher, where as with the original i believe has barely any coverage, and leaves your skin looking pink, and oily. You had to use a setting powder and throughout the day you begin to look greasy and sweaty.My skin after two weeks use became very oily and pimply so i dis-continued to use it. Garnier has created two very dffierent products and both are on very different ends o the scale! One is a very good product at a good price, and i will be re-purchising soon!

Thick Consistency - Light Coverage

I bought this bb cream as it was on sale for $7 at coles this week. I didnt expect much out of it because its a bb cream, but even though it is light coverage, the shade for me was a dead set match. However, i found that it would make my skin oily in a matter of 2 hours and the liquid was a too thick for my liking.

The packaging is great, its compact, easy to carry around and doesnt leak unlike the garnier combination/oily bb cream.

I would recommend this for normal/dry skin consumers who want a light and natural coverage. I think it would go well in spring.

Only one real flaw...

This was actually the first BB Cream that I experimented with and started my love of all products BB. However, despite being amazing with coverage, UV protection and evening my skin tone, it had one flaw which really stuck out for me and that was how oily the product made my skin feel after an hour or so of wear. By the end of the week, it got to the point where I couldn't wait to get home at the end of each day just to take the product off. I've given this 3 stars though because its other benefits were amazing and luckily they brought out an oil-free one which is A LOT better for my skin.

Couldn't ask for anything better

This BB cream is great for a light coverage that feels as though it's barely there. It covers imperfections lightly but not completely - it definitely does make them not as red and obvious. The product has a mousse-like texture and applying the product is easy and quick. The flip top lid makes it easy to use and apply.

Not a real BB cream and not great either

I recently ran out of my Skin79 BB cream which is a proper BB cream from Korea. I decided to try the new local versions to see what they are like.

I eventually bought Garnier's original BB cream over the oily skin version as that one was so runny. This had a thick consistency when it came out of the tube, but as soon as I put it on, it just disappeared. There is absolutely no coverage whatsoever despite the thickness of the cream. It's not even a tinted moisturiser! It also made my skin feel shiny and greasy all day. By the end of the day I also had a big deep pimple starting to raise it's ugly head - I'm blaming this cream (it's receded today now that I'm not wearing the BB cream).

Those used to true Asian BB creams - don't bother! Back to ebay to get my REAL BB on.

Perfect for hot weather

I purchased this BB cream in Light before a trip to Thailand. This cream turned out to be even more amazing than I was expecting. Light is a great shade for my fair skin. It blends really well and gave me fantastic coverage. And it didn't sweat off at all. It gave me a "done" complexion without the cakey, powdery finish. I just finished with a swirl of bronzer and lip balm. It lasted from am to pm. Very impressed and use frequently.

Simply Fabulous

I was recently introduced to BB cream by the BH team whose skin glows daily. This is a quick fixer for those days you need a bit of a pick me up. In my (early) 30's sometimes you just don't get the glow you used to and this has restored it. I have found it can leave some shine around my nose area but gives great coverage and is a great skin match.

Good product but too moisturizing

I was lucky enough to receive the Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector BB cream to trial in the shade ‘light’. The product comes is a small cute, slightly fat tube with a flip top from which the product can be dispensed. The shade of the product suited my skin quite well, as I am on the fairer side of the spectrum.

The BB cream itself is quite light in texture. I can easily apply the bb cream onto my skin and it blends out fairly well on my face. Although the product is quite light, it does provide adequate coverage to hide most of my blemishes and redness. When I first applied the product, there was a sunscreen like fragrance common to many bb creams. The scent was not too overpowering and faded quickly after application.

The product is also extremely moisturizing, as I do not need to use an extra moisturizer underneath my bb cream. However, the product can be too moisturizing – leading to oil developing on my T-zone during the day (I have combination skin). Thus, I have to rely on powdering my face or blotting regularly to prevent the development of an oily sheen. This does mean, however, that the bb cream would be good for those with dry skin.

I had to powder the product to ensure the bb cream would not slide or fade off my face during the day. I would have preferred not to use any powder, as when I use bb creams, I am aiming for a simple, natural makeup routine. Luckily, the product did seem quite natural on my skin when first applied, and did not feel uncomfortable or heavy.

I would greatly recommend this bb cream to those with drier skin types but not to those with combination, or oily skin. Since I did like the formula of the product, I am looking forward to trying the oil free version of the garnier miracle skin perfector bb cream in the future.

BB Cream Face-Off

It is easy to see why this is a much-loved and award-winning BB cream! It really gives you that ‘my skin but better' look.

I received this in both the Light and Medium shades, and opted for the Light shade. My skin is light, but by no means pale, and I found the Light shade to be a great match for my skin. I will be honest and say this might be a tad dark for those ladies who have very fair skin.

The BB cream itself has a light texture which blends easily into the skin. A little product goes a long way, and about a pea-sized amount is enough for me. This BB cream is very hydrating and is particularly good for dry skin as it tends not to cling to dry patches. True to its name, your skin is left perfected, your own skin but better! The finish is glowy and dewy; and your skin looks nicely hydrated, even and, free of redness.

Given this BB cream is hydrating and gives a dewy finish, this BB cream is most suited for those with normal, dry or dry/combination skin. Those who are prone to oiliness would definitely require some kind of mattifying powder over the top, or would need to blot away any shine that appears.

You can wear this BB cream on its own for light, skin-perfecting coverage, or you can wear it under make up as a hydrating base. When used as a base, I find my mineral make up applies smoothly and effortlessly, and it lasts longer throughout the day.

This is a great BB cream which provides light coverage and hydration. If you want perfected skin which is left dewy and nourished, this is for you! It has SPF 15 sun protection which is a nice addition, but it would be nice if it were a little higher. However, SPF aside, this is a very nice BB cream for daily use It is easy to see why this has a Best in Beauty and Glosscar award to its name!

Road Test Review

A bit of background of my skin, I have a light-medium skin tone with some pigmentation my forehead, redness around the nose and cheeks and smallish pores. While testing out this BB cream I had a breakout of hormonal acne.
This BB cream comes packaged in a cute, fat tube with fairly simplistic packaging and contains 50ml of product, more than your run of the mill face products.
Garnier claims that this BB cream hydrates, evens tone, correct blemishes, boosts a health glow and provides UV protection.
The received both shades to trial which are Light and Medium. At first I though medium would be a good shade match but it much too dark when applied and oxidised to an even darker colour. Light was a great match, even though it appeared a bit pale at first application however it oxidised to match my skin very well.
The BB cream has a very unique mousse like texture. It is very light and fluffy and blends like a dream, I used just my fingers and didn't see the need to use a brush at all.
The scent reminded me of sunscreen but it was not all overpowering and I could hardly smell it once I'd applied it.
The coverage it gave was very light and sheer. I liked that it blended into my skin so well that I could keep layering it up and it wouldn't look cakey in the slightest. I was a bit hesitant at using this on my blemishes as this is a very moisturising formula so I used it sparingly there. It didn't quiet cover up all my redness and I could see it peeking through so I did use some extra concealer over those areas.
It provides some level of sun protection with SPF 15, however I personally prefer a higher SPF factor in my face products so this wasn't quiet there for me.
In terms of benefits, this product is ultra hydrating, dry skin users this could be your Holy Grail BB Cream! It moisturises very well, you can very well skip your moisturiser and just use this. It does not cling to any dry or rough patches of skin. However the finish it left behind was very dewey, bordering on greasiness. As someone with dry-combination skin I would definitely recommend the use of a setting powder to ensure it lasts throughout the day. For oily skinned gals, I wouldn't recommend this BB cream at all, but luckily Garnier do an Oil Free version!
Overall Garnier has come out with a great product that I will definitely be using on more dry skin days.

Oily skin - needs to blot but good BB cream

Im so happy i was sent this product from BH to try. It gives quite light coverage, but at the same time, looks really natural and is almost unnoticeable on skin once blended.

I found this BB cream blended really well. Light consistency, and good colour match. (im the colour light/clair) it didnt correct all of my blemishes, but did a pretty good job of making them lighter. Im impressed that it comes with SPF 15, dont have to put on a separate sunscreen. Wish it came in a higher SPF, but still impressed with the level it gives.

In terms of packaging, its a squeeze tube with lid, quite easy to use, comfortable size to pop in your handbag in case of touchups and the product didnt go all over the lid. It has a strong scent upon application, but you dont smell it on your face/skin afterwards.

If you have really oily skin or an oily T-zone like me, i do recommend you blot right after you apply this. It worked better for me if i blotted with tissues right after application.

In all, the BB cream blends like a dream, has quite good coverage, was a good colour match, and most importantly, made the complexion look natural and glowy. Would recommend this as a foundation alternative, great for summer days!

Fantastic Go-To Product!

I have been trialling both the Light & Medium shades and have loved them both. The light shade is more suited to my skins natural colour so this would have to be my favourite. I found mixing the medium with a bit of thick sunscreen can help lighten the shade with does make it more greasy and you really need to use a good powder over the top to stop the shine. But in the warmer months this shade would work well on its own for me as it's not that much darker.

This product gives great coverage and smooths out the surface of your skin giving you a flawless finish without looking fake. The scent is really beautiful actually, it is like a light fragrant perfume which is quite slight but very pretty and non irritating.

I adore the lovely golden brown tube and find it super easy to use and apply. It is very affordable and I would purchase this in the future as it is my go to BB Cream for almost everyday.

It minimises my pores and doesn't make me break out even though it contains SPF and moisturiser which can feel a little slick at the end of the day. But a little powder touch up only once throughout the day is all you need and it does a great job at lasting the whole day.

A fantastic product that is great value & agrees with my skin. It is almost like the Light shade was specially formulated to exactly match my skin's colour. Amazing!

BBcream

I had a sample of this in medium, it blended in really nicely and felt really moisturising. It has very light coverage and I like medium to full so its not really for me. Also the colour was about 3 shades to dark for me and it oxidised a shade darker.

Can't Live Without The Original

I first bought the Garbier BB Cream in light shade in the short, fat tube and loved it - it covers beautifully, it was the perfect tone for my skin and it never felt heavy or oily. My skin is pretty normal, if anything it tends to be dry so I used it over a daily moisturiser and I always had comments on how healthy my skin looked and how natural a face full of make up was.
I then bought the long thin tube when my local Coles ran out, thinking the light shade couldn't bee to different, but it must be a full three shades lighter, I look like a ghost and have to use bronzer to get that natural glow back! I've since tossed that one and gone back to the original and am really glad I did.
Works well with Nude by Nature mineral powder to fix as it takes any shine off the liquid foundation.

My go-to foundation!

First of all, I am aware that this is not actually a foundation - but I much prefer BB cream anyway!

I don't like full coverage products and nor do I need them, but I think this is the perfect amount of coverage for complexion perfection. It feels very lightweight, and I am more than happy to wear this all day. Unlike some other foundations, I don't feel the need to take this off the minute I get home - since it sinks into the skin so well and you can barely tell it's there!

I know this product is supposed to contain moisturiser as well, but I've found that it doesn't apply very well on its own. If however, I used my regular moisturiser beforehand (or even combined half and half together in my hand) then this BB cream applies like a dream!
It leaves my combination skin glowy and fresh, and if I skip powder, I'll have a lovely, slightly dewy (not oily) finish for the rest of the day.Concealer is still required for the odd pimple or two, but I don't think this is too much to ask.

I initially bought the medium, but found it way too dark, so I exchanged it for the light and it's a great match. I have half-asian skin with yellow undertones, so it can be a bit tricky trying to find suitable foundatuions, but the Light shade is perfect for my slight summer tan.

If you don't already own this product - what are you waiting for?

Oil crazy

Ive just about completely finished my tube of this, i bought it when it was first released (the packaging was slightly different) and the lightest shade was far too orange for me.

Since then they have changed the packaging and there is a better colour range (light shade is actually light).

I found that this has decent coverage and feels good for the skin, only issue is it makes my T zone extremely oily and shiny even after powdering- but none the less a good everyday makeup option if you don't have much time to apply a full coverage foundation.

Easy glow and dewy finish but can get oily

I have had compliments about how my skin glows when I have only had this bb cream on. It was moisturizing and had a nice texture. I have south east Asian complexion and the medium colour was a good shade. However, it did make my tone really oily even after I use a primer. Still I have bought this twice, then I bought the oil free one which I'm still using but like less. The oil free is drying and too matte for me.

Good value for money

I apply this everyday, and it has been working well. It has a delightful, refreshing smell (like most Garnier Products) and evened out my skin tone. My skin was hydrated for the morning, by lunch my skin felt dry and rough. The texture of the cream is light, a bit runny than others but smooth on the skin.

I recommended this product to both my sisters and they use it both religiously. On one of my sisters it looked like she was wearing foundation.

The best

Garnier's BB Cream is by far my favourite product in my make up bag at this moment.
Although its coverage is limited, if your feeling less then perky and can't be bothered with your usual routine of makeup, using this BB Cream gives you an incredible glow, and enough coverage to make people believe you've just been on a holiday. The packaging is pretty, it smells amazing, and using the medium, I find it sits well on my face and matches my colouring to a tee.

I would definitely recommend this to all!

Feels nice but OXIDISES like hell

To be honest, the ad for this really drew me in. Despite the claims, this is a good product, particularly for the dry or sensitive types but not for my combination, acne prone skin.The coverage isn't too great, but I like using it for school, especially sports. It is very hydrating and I do notice a distinct glow after application. Unfortunately, it does slip and slide throughout the day, but maybe that is because I need to try the oil free variety.

The Light/Clair was better than the Medium!

OKAY..so I've previously reviewed this product and the last time I did, I had mentioned how I was going to trade in the Medium I got for a Light.

I am happy to report that once I purchased the Light/Clair, it was A LOT BETTER than the Medium. I found that it gives alright coverage and that I can build it up it certain areas.

It's definitely gives a very natural and effortless look and for whatever reason, I no longer feel it gives a really oily texture to my skin. Although, this could be due to the fact that I only use this cream when I am freshly showered and my skin hasn't had enough time to become oily or sweaty from the sun or that I apply it all over my face, but not as much in my T zone area, and only apply more in certain areas where I want more coverage.

Not the thickest coverage, but nice for sensitive skin

Having used a couple of Korean BB creams previously (which can get pricey if you don't know where to look), I was excited when a friend told me about Garnier's BB cream, which was the first cream released in Australia by a Western brand (to my knowledge). I was even more curious when I saw a tube in my grandmother's bathroom cabinet - she is the type of person that sticks to one brand, so when she changes to something else, it's because it's better than what she was using.

There are two types of cream (standard and oily/combination), in two shades (Light and Medium). Application is nice and easy, and the cream smoothes on nicely with fingertips. I have sensitive skin, and was impressed by the lack of itching upon using it.

For those used to Asian BB creams, this product can come as a bit of a shock, as it's not as thick, and doesn't have the coverage that Asian creams tend to have. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, in my opinion. It makes a nice base to build upon with other makeup if you need slightly heavier coverage - I use mineral powder as a concealer, and balance the tone out with the tiniest amount of bronzer.

While I'm still on the hunt for the perfect BB cream and foundation to use, Garnier's BB cream makes an excellent substitute, combined with other products. If, however, you're really lucky and don't have red blemishes or heavy acne, you're probably onto a winner with this. And with a decent price tag on it (definitely less than $15), it's worth a try.

I find it a little oily so better for people with drier skin. I have combination skin so use it quite sparingly on my chin and forehead and apply it mainly over my cheek area. A little facepowder over the top helps to set it as it seems to stay sticky alld ay without it.

Not great for my oily skin

My face is usually oily and wanted to try a different BB cream.

The product packaging is convenient - compact and easy to travel with.

So, I bought the Medium tone. When I applied it on my skin first, the cream was easy to apply on my skin, it gave me some coverage but not really great. The odour of the cream was strong and I didn't like it at all. Since I have oily skin, this BB cream didn't really work for me. After a few hours, it seemed like I had to reapply - however, what I like about it is the UV protection SPF 15 and easy to use.

Surprisingly good coverage

I bought the oil free version of the Garnier cream only because my retailer was out of stock of the Light colour the day I went in to buy it. I'm 35 and although my skin isn't dry, its certainly not oily either so I thought the regular version would be best for me.

However I quite like the oil free cream. Even with the matte finish when I apply it, I am still finding I have shine by lunchtime, so I am guessing the regular cream would just slide off my face. I do find its more of a light foundation though than a BB cream, I guess because when I tried to use this as a proper BB cream my face felt absolutely parched - I now use it with moisturiser underneath and its fine, although I guess it defeats the purpose of a time saving, all in one product.

Still, its fairly good coverage for a day to day light foundation in that it evens up my skin tone nicely and disguises my pigmentation. The Light colour is a reasonably good match for me, and fortunately does not oxidise to an orange colour unlike other BB creams I've tried.

A little goes a very, very long way. The first time I used this I squeezed way too much out of the tube as I assumed it would be a regular cream consistence, however its actually a runny lotion. The oil free version contains 10ml less of product than the regular, however I suspect this watery consistency spreads further so you probably would use both products at the same rate.

I will probably continue to purchase it to use as a light summer foundation, but certainly not in winter (it would dry me out too much) and not as a proper BB cream in its own right. I imagine teenage skin would love this stuff, with no need for a separate moisturiser, a matte finish and a very tidy price point.

I really wanted to like it!

I bought this BB cream yesterday in the Medium, because I am Filipino and while I am not very dark, I'm not completely fair either.

It was my first time trying a BB cream because I really wanted something that I could wear when I couldn't be bothered or didn't have time to apply a lot of make up to cover my skin.

I applied the tester at the store in the Medium shade to my hand and I thought it was perfect as it blended right in. However, once I purchased it and actually applied this to my face, I had found that it left my skin too oily and really dark. Mind you this was the first time I had applied it. The second time, which was today, I tried to apply less of it than I had yesterday (I thought perhaps I had applied too much yesterday, hence the oily texture it left and the tan colour), however this time I tried it with my MAC Studio Fix Powder and it left my skin VERY orange and unnaturally dark.

I'm afraid I'm relatively disappointed because I really wanted something I could apply quickly for some coverage when I have lazy days or just when I don't have enough time to get all my make up done.

However, I am going to try the Light shade tomorrow in the hopes that it will be better. Or if not that, I might try the Oil Free version of this as I have read the good reviews it has had on here.

Prefer the oil free version

Personally, this bb cream did not work for me at all! (although i did love the packaging)
For starters, i have fair skin so i bought the lightest shade and yet it was too dark for my skin. When i applied it to my skin it made my skin very shiny and felt very greasy on my face. I also was not very impressed with the coverage either; i know that bb cream is meant to be light on your skin but this was just too light because i had to apply a lot just to get decent coverage.
I gave this two stars simply because i love the packaging and because it has moisturiser qualities and also contains SPF.
If you are wanting to by a great bb cream from garnier, buy the oil-free version.

Its a Winner!!

I bought the medium tint and i must say this bb cream took me by surprise. The packaging of the product, is simple and mess fry. I mean with a flip up cap, and a tube makes the product is super travel friendly. You throw it in your handbag and you are good to go.

First and foremost I have an combination skin type and I need not mention how much I would like to embrace water based products, exclusively the base products. This one is a water based BB cream. The texture of the product unlike the other products of the range is thick and creamy whereas the other are quiet watery and emollient. The product blends into the skin seamlessly and gives a very natural finish to the skin. It is not a full flat matte product, and gives a little dewiness to the skin. The coverage of the cream is a little above expectation, I expected it to have a sheer coverage, but this is totally a buildable product; you can build it up to a full coverage from a sheer one without any problems. It covers those blemishes and acne marks gracefully, without being to heavy on the skin. It has an indeed light feel whereas I am a little doubtful when it comes to those extremely oily skin types. It also contains SPF 15 which protects you from the harmful sun rays. Its lightweight, smooth textured and mildly scented. The best part of the product is that it hydrates the skin and also gives it a luminous natural glow as per its claims.

Not great at all.

This was a very hyped up product and tried with high expectations, only to be disappointed. The product was easy to apply but felt really thick and gross on, which only got worse when I got hot and sweaty (unavoidable in the tropics!). I couldn't stand how the product felt on and it caused my skin to break out (which it very rarely does!). This formula is definitely not for me, but it seems other people have had great success with it?

Buildable coverage!

When this BB cream first came out, I was so excited to try it especially after using a few of the Asian BB creams. At first I was so disappointed, NOTHING like the Asian BB creams as this was thick and resembled more to a tinted moisturiser but more greasy. However after using it a bit more, I loved how the thick texture moisturised my dry skin! Loved its buildable coverage too which is fantastic. It made my skin glow and no dry flakes could be seen (which can happen with more dryer formulas of BB creams). Definitely really happy with this product and will repurchase!

Lovely coverage for the winter months

I received this product in the second beautorium. I used this product all throughout winter, where my skin doesn't mind the extra moisturise. I loved the coverage, and I found the formula to be very thick, but easily blendable. It gave my skin a nice glow, and provided natural coverage. I would always set this with a setting powder though, as I wanted the product to last all day. This is a fantastic product, as it provides coverage and moisturises skin from the cold winters air.

I would use this product in the colder months hands down. However, as my skin gets very oily in hot weather, I have found that wearing it does no favours for my skin. The 'moisture' is not needed, and just creates more oil on my face. I have heard there is now an oil free version for this, so I am interested in trying that for summer. Overall, this product was a winter favourite for me, so I recommend it to all during the winter months.

Original formula is Horrible!

Everyone I have spoken too either seems to love or hate this original garnier bb cream, and unfortunately I am on the hate side myself!
After seeing this in stores, as one of the first prominent "drugstore" brand BB creams in Australia, I really wanted to try it out. I have dry skin so I thought it would hydrate and provide nice coverage.
I applied this to my face around 9am. The first thing I noticed was that it did not cover ANY imperfections on my face, left it a strange colour, and took a lot of rubbing in before it seemed to actually absorb into my skin. I went to class (mind you this was in autumn, cool weather!) and when i got back to my car 3 hours later and looked in the mirror, my face was a shiny disgusting mess!!! Tried it with powder the next day but the same thing happened! No product has ever done that to my skin.
Then on the third day after I started using the product I got the worst breakout I think a product has ever given me.

That really put me off the garnier BB cream but I have since tried the one for oily skin and the formula & coverage are miles better!

A Miracle for Me!

I think I'm really late in trying out this product since everyone and their mother has either loved it hated it.
I have dry sensitive skin so one of the main things I look for in a foundation/BB cream is hydration and sheer to light coverage. This product does all that and more for my skin!
The packaging is a basic tube that is 50ml, so you do get plenty of product compared to the standard 30ml of foundation. The texture is very thick but has a light mousse-like feel to it, so it spreads very easily on my skin.
Warning, use a little at a time, otherwise you'll end up with way to much on one area, which I learnt the hard way.
The scent of this product is amazing! Smells fruityish but doesnt linger on the skin and doesn't irritate it either.
Don't be scared by the bright orange colour, it blends well into your skintone and after about 10 mins or so you can't even tell your wearing anything. This product has never looked cakey on me.
It lasts for pretty much the whole day for me, and thats without powder, towards the end I can see some of my natural facial redness peeking through, which is usually covered when I first apply the product.
Even though BB creams are supposed to be used in place of your moisturiser, I still use on beforehand, as my skin is really dry. But this product also does a good job of hydrating throughout the day.
I'm happy that my hunt for a good foundation is over and that I found something so affordable. This is definitely a staple in my makeup routine now.
For dry skin, you will absolutely love this product! However if you have oily skin or are looking for full coverage then this may not be the best product for you.

Great at first, after a while though...

This was my first go at a BB cream, or tinted moisturiser.
It took me quite a few practice-gos to get the application right, I just kept applying way too much.

Once I figured out how to put it on, I quite liked it. I wasn't caked on my dry skin, provided just enough coverage and made my skin look all dewy and fresh.

I did find it stung my eyes like crazy though, so I couldn't put it within an inch of my eyes all around. And that sucked completely, if it got in my eyes and I was tearing all day even after flushing out. So, do keep that in mind.

Also, after a week or so I broke out like CRAAAAZZZYYYYY.
I'm not a person go usually gets pimples, apart from one or two on my chin. But this made my skin insane. It was awful.

After that incident, I stopped using it this straight away.

Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector - No Miracle

The Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector is a BB cream that is meant to even out the skintone, cover all blemishes and enhance your natural beauty. It comes in two different shades, Light and Medium (I haven't seen a dark shade, however I hear there is one). The benefit of this cream is that it contains no nasties (paragons etc).

The texture of this cream is quite thick, however it spreads nicely. After many uses I would suggest only using a little amount and spread it evenly over your face. At first the cream seems quite orange and it is a bit of a worry. I do find that, on a good day, it adapts to my skintone. If my skin is irritated or sunburnt, the cream won't cover it and the coverage looks quite fake. On these days I prefer to use concealer and a foundation.

Irritation of my skin when using this product is quite mild, however I find that is I spray my face with Avene Thermal Spray after applyling that it calms it down.
Also oily skinned girls can use this product, however a transcluent powder is definitely required.

All in all, once this product is finished I won't be repurchasing. I don't think this works with my skin as well as I hoped however it is okay for a good skin / lazy make up day.

Little bit too oily!

Using this BB cream, I was thoroughly impressed for a first go of this kind of product. The coverage was even and matched my complexion closely enough, and helped to hide a lot of my imperfections and uneven skin tone without having to go through an entire makeup regime.

The only downside to this product is how shiny it makes my face, and that it doesn't have the lasting power for a product that promises such results. By the end of the day, most of the cream had rubbed off, leaving me looking pretty plain and drab, and my predisposition to oiliness towards end of the day was kind of accelerated by this product... Not too pleasant!

I have tried the oil-free version also by Garnier, and I recommend that you try it instead if you suffer from an oilier complexion like me!

As soon as this product was released I was apart of the trial team. This BB cream has a very nice coverage but due to the lack of colour choices if i am to use it I have to blend it with something to make it more suitable as I am not medium nor light. I have quite oily skin which this does not work with but it didn't make it worse than it is. I would recommend if you have oily skin like myself to get the oil free version of this BB cream!
The oil free one also provides better coverage. The one thing I absolutely adored about this was its scent though, I fell in love when I used it for the first time.

Good but formula could do with some tweaking

I know this product has plenty of raves but I think that may change a little now that the market is saturated with BB creams, many of them far superior to this. I like that this is extremely hydrating and offers a few different beauty benefits however I just find it to be way to heavy which translates to a very shiny unattractive face an hour later. It is also a very unflattering shade of orange which I don't understand at all. It would have been a much better product if it had more of a universally flattering beige undertone.

A little oily

My skin is a little oily usually, but this tends to make it worse.
That said, I often use this (light) with a finishing powder for everyday wear, and it's pretty good. Perhaps a little too orange?

Makes my skin oily

I have oily skin so after a few hours of wearing this my face became quite oily. If you are going to use this and you have oily skin I recommend using it with a powder to reduce the oiliness. The oil-free garnier bb cream is perfect for my skin type, so if you have oily skin it would be better to buy the oil-free version. This version is also quite thicker in texture than the oil-free version.

I like it more than foundation!

I have oily/combination skin and I got this sometime last year. At first I really liked it, it definitely does even skin tone and give you a natural 'glow', but by midday, my t zone was quite shiny which was not good at all. However now I use an oil free moisturiser in that area (its the Neutrogena Oil Free Combination skin one) which helps to eliminate the oil, so this product is fine now, but I would like to try the new one for Combination skin. I also like how this product is cheap and it provides nice coverage (but you really have to use a concealer for blemishes) without looking cakey.

Best in Beauty 2012 – Even, smooth, and fresh complexion

The Garnier miracle skin perfector BB cream is the first drugstore bb cream that I ever tried. BB creams, or blemish balms and beauty balms are marketed as having a list of the following functions usually: a primer, a foundation, concealer, moisturiser, sunscreen, and skin refining properties such as whitening or lightening. Those functions are typical of the Asian BB creams, however the ‘western’ Garnier version of a BB cream is quite different.

To start off with the packaging, the bb cream comes in a golden beige tube with a flip top cap. The squeeze tube is great because it gives me control on the amount of product that is dispersed, and the secure cap makes sure there is no spillage. This means I can keep the bb cream in my bag and have peace of mind that it won’t leak or spill. The first thing that I noticed about this BB cream was that it had that signature Garnier scent. It is sweet and fruity without being overpowering at all.

The formula of the BB cream is quite a heavy liquid. It has a slight mousse texture to it in the way that it feels quite fluffy. With there only being two shades to choose from, light and medium, I was quite worried that either shade would not be suitable for my skin. I picked up the BB cream in the shade light as I am quite fair. When I applied it directly from the tube, the product looked a little too dark for my skin. This was not an issue though as the BB cream blends seamlessly into my skin without making my face look like a different shade from my neck and chest area. The BB cream does not have an overly strong warm tone or cool tone to it, it lies somewhere in the middle and it is almost a tan colour. This is great as it ensures that the cream accommodates so many different shades and tones of skin.

In terms of coverage, I love the Garnier BB cream because it provides more coverage than any tinted moisturiser that I own. While it does not have the coverage of a foundation, it is much more lightweight on the skin than a foundation has ever left my skin feeling. The coverage of the BB cream is sufficient to even out my skin tone, diminish any redness, and it covers any minor blemishes that I am experiencing on the day. I do not need to apply as much concealer as I do with a tinted moisturiser. I usually set the BB cream with a loose powder because it can look a bit shiny on my t-zone throughout the day as I have oily combination skin.

The Garnier BB cream manages to add a small amount of moisturise to my skin. It leaves my skin looking smoother, more even, and brighter which I put down to the fact that it includes Vitamin C and mineral pigments. I am comfortable wearing this every day because it also offers UV SPF 15 protection. This BB cream does not rub or wear off easily and transfer is very minimal.

Best in Beauty 2012 (NOT)

Garnier's Miracle Skin Perfector BB Cream has had such mixed reviews that it's hard to believe we're all reviewing the same product. I think this has a lot to do with the skin types that it's more suited to as well as customers expectations, I think a lot of customers were sold on the hype rather than the product when it was first introduced. I also think that since it was the first BB style cream in Australia people had nothing to compare it to, now that the market is being saturated with similar products I think a lot of opinions have changed.

I'd never tried a BB cream before this one so for me there was nothing to compare it to and I believe this may be why some reviewers were so disappointed as we'd heard so many good things about BB cream although I'll admit they were mostly Asian products. For me the biggest issue is that it's just tooe heavy for my combo skin so if I'm going for a really glowing look then it's fine as my base otherwise I have to set it with powder or I can end up shining just a tad too muc and by the end of the day I'd look like I'd been working for hours at a deep fry. Now that there are other BB creams available in Ausrtalia I've been able to find products that are far more suitable for my skin type and my Garnier BB has been relegated to the back of the drawer.

On a positive note I do find the flip-top lid on the tube extremely convenient and wish more products were like this, it's also very hygenic as you are squeezing out the product and not dipping into it. As I've already mentioned this cream is quite thick so it needs a bit of rubbing in to distribute evenly although I guess a thicker layer may help hide imperfections and it does have a pleasant scent. Sadly these few positives do not outweigh all of the negatives.

Garnier makes a lot of claims about this product and it just doesn't lives up to them. I guess if you've started out with good skin with just a few minor blemishes or pigmentation marks then it probably does brighten, conceal and all of the rest but for me with my large pores, more than the occasional spot plus uneven skin tone it does very little. In my opinion Garnier's BB Cream is just a heavy, tinted moisturiser and nothing more.

Fabulous, except for the oily feeling

When I heard about BB creams I wanted to get my hands on them. I tried a few of the Asian branded BB creams, but they were too light for me unfortunately. This one was great! It provided light - medium coverage and it makes my skin look so healthy and radiant. I love the smell of this product too and the texture is quite nice. What I didn't like about this product was that it made my skin looking oily towards the end of the day, so I decided to use pressed powder over it to lessen the look of greasiness it tends to do.
This is a great alternative to foundation (that is, if you only require light to medium coverage, you can definitely build it up).
Since it was launched, I have tried the oil-free version of this BB cream and I must say it is A LOT BETTER than this one. It suits oily/combination skin better and doesnt make u look like a grease ball by the end of the day. And best of all, more coverage than this one!

needs sunscreen

As a tinted moisturiser, this is nice - as a few others have mentioned, the 'light' shade is still a little orange for ivory skin. Two things are very problematic - the SPF is not broadscreen, and the active ingredient is not present in enough quantity to protect skin in the Australian climate. Also the product is very high in alcohol, so any benefit you might get is cancelled out by the long term damage being done to your skin by that. I will probably use up my tube (with a proper sunscreen underneath) but will not search out an alcohol-free tinted moisturiser.

Best of Beauty 2012

I'm re-reviewing this one for the Best of Beauty Awards 2012. It really deserves this award, in my humble opinion. While it may not be the most spectacular moisturiser on the planet ie. It won't fix super dry skin, it is a great multitasker.

While I am probably preaching to the choir here, given the number of positive reviews already posted for this product. Nice pleasant scent, as with most Garnier products. Easy to smooth on and provides an even finish with sufficient moisture for day use. I found this product especially good for the summer/tropics but not really moisturising enough for winter use. No worries, different products for different seasons anyway. The coverage provided was light - more like a tinted moisturiser than a foundation, which was fine for me. Found it to be a very good travel product since it had built in SPF protection as well. It was the only face product I used, other than a night moisturiser, when I went on a tropical holiday. Recommended if you don't like loads of foundation and don't want to mess with moisturiser + powder + sunscreen for daily use.

Matte Finish, Shiny Shine Diminished

Garnier Skin Naturals Miracle Skin Perfector Daily All-In-One BB Cream is enriched with Vitamin C and mineral pigments.
I have medium shade to help even out skintone and freckles which are sprinkled across my nose.
In looks, it is similar to make-up / foundation.
I cleanse, tone, and moisturise prior to applying the BB Cream.
I do not apply primer.
The Garnier BB Cream has a light texture once it has settled on skin.
The blemish balm cream in medium helps me to acheive an even skintone with fine lines camouflaged, the texture light and matte with shiny shine diminished.
The BB Cream can be used with or without foundation.
I prefer using the cream solo without foundation to create a natural day look.
The BB Cream is easily removed with a make-up wipe and nightly cleansing wash.

Best product!

I usually don't bother with foundation as it is too heavy and I can never find one that perfectly matches my skin colour within my budget. However BB cream is really perfect, it has amazing coverage to cover my uneven skin tone without the cakey look or feeling. People don't even notice that I'm wearing it because it blends in so well and looks natural. Not only that it's cheap and in my budget but since you only need a small amount to cover your whole face it lasts much longer than other foundations.

Makes me shiny

I was really excited to try this product out as so many people have raved about it in reviews and as someone who doesn't wear make-up, bb creams are a great alternative. Unfortunately, I was really disappointed as it didn't suit my combination/oily skin and the shade wasn't quite right. It made my skin look shiny (even my cheeks which normally aren't oily as I just have an oily T-zone). When I gave it another go recently I accidently used too much and saw in my car window that even the tip of my nose was shiny (which is a bit amusing but mostly just embarrassing). The new oil-free one might be better for oily skin types. Another con is that there are only two shades and the medium shade made my brown skin look a bit dirty.

The packaging is one good thing about this product as the flip-top lid of the tube is really easy to use.

Generally I'd say this is not for combination/oily skin and the shades may not suit everyone so try out a tester before you buy it (unlike me).

Can't belive how fantastic this product is

I tried this product for the first time today after I got a sample in a showbag and I have to say I am gobsmacked. I don't wear foundation except for some powder but am very curious and would like to try to wear foundation in the future. Given this, I tried this cream and loved it. It looks and feels like chocolate mousse, airy and creamy. It goes on so easily, is sheer yet effective in giving color and a smooth smoft complexion. It's not heavy at all and it hasn't moved all day and has settled beautifully. Even on fair skin like mine it does't look like I've done anything but been out in the sun. It has no foundation type smell which I find usually a bit like clay to smell. I am most definitely going to buy this product!

GARNIER BB CREAM gets a " C " from me.

I love BB creams, I own approx 20 BB creams. The majority of my BB creams have been purchased in South Korea and I love most of them.
After reading all 282 reviews for Garnier BB cream on Beauty Heaven I will find it hard to add something fresh to my review, but I will try.
I have been using Korean BB cream for a number of years and was curious when Garnier launched their BB cream here in Australia.
I did not purchase Garniers BB cream until all the lauch hoopla died down as I really wanted to form an unbiased opinion.

About six months after the official launch my local Coles were selling Garnier BB cream for $6. The Garnier stand did not have a tester so I purchased both the light and medium shades.
I really wanted to like this product but unfortunatley neither shade was right for me.
Garnier's packaging was good I like to buy products in tubes rather than jars to avoid contamination.

I have combination skin and both shades were too heavy for my skin.My skin felt oily after application and this was still the case 2 hours later.The BB cream slid off my face.
The BB cream did not oxidize to match my colouring and made my skin appear dappled.
I am glad I tried the Garnier and got it at a bargain price, I prefer my South Korean BB's.
I will be buying the Loreal revitalift BB cream that Megan Gale is advertising in a few months to compare to my favourite Korean brands

No stars, EVER.

Like many other cosmetics enthusiasts in Australia; I eagerly awaited the arrival of BB Creams on our shores. I literally rushed to purchase this, I've never been disappointed with Garnier before. There's a first time for everything!

I got the lightest colour, and it was SO dark on me! To be fair, I am very pale, but seriously! The colour range is just laughable.

My second problem (and boy, was it a big one!) was that it broke me out in a way that no other beauty product has. Ever. I'm talking that kind of acne that makes you cringe to look at (think the very worst of those before pictures on the Proactiv infomercials). I couldn't let anything touch my face because it hurt so bad, and I even had to go to the doctor! I know that mine was a severe reaction, and considering the amount of rave reviews; I'm clearly a bit on an extreme. But still, it was horrific.

Best In Beauty Nominated Product Review

This is an essential item in my make up bag. I’ve owned a few tubes now and I’ve recommend it to my family members to try. There are many reasons why I love this bb cream. I have quiet uneven skin tone with dark circles and freckles and there are days when I just don’t feel like wearing a heavy amount of make up for an even skin tone. After reading so many great reviews on beauty heaven about this product I decided I needed to give it a try.
I love that it comes in a handy squeeze tube with a flip lid. It’s perfect for my handbag and never spills. The cream itself is quiet thick yet smooths effortlessly over my face. It doesn’t make my face feel heavy and weighed down. It just feels light and it keeps my skin feeling moisturised throughout the day. I notice the results from this cream immediately after application and my face always looks flawless. I chose the shade light and it suits my pale skin perfectly. It’s not noticeably dark and it doesn’t make my face look paler then what it already is. This cream just gives my skin the hint of colour that it needs. It covers all my imperfections and gives me an even skin tone complexion that makes me feel very comfortable in.
It’s also SPF 15 which is fantastic as I get the added protection I need when I’m out.
One application in the morning gives me day long wear. This product is also easily removed with a make up wipe when I’ve finished for the day.
My mother asked what I was wearing on my face one day and she said it looked nice and natural, and now she uses this BB cream also. It’s extremely affordable and I recommend it to all as a necessity.

Best in Beauty nomination

My skin is prone to looking horrible without makeup, but I apply this daily just to make myself feel better. I find that it is a bit oily once applied, but the oil factor disappears shortly after application.
It's breatheable on my skin, and also looks like I am wearing foundation (So thats a bonus if I do run out of foundation before I get to the store!)
The only thing I don't like about the product itself is when it starts to get low, it is extremely hard to get out of the tube.

B--B 2012- My staple everyday coverage

I've always enjoy Garnier products. I know some products have their misses and hits. For me,this product is a definite hit!

i've used the original one for few months to a year now. i am on my 2nd tube in the medium as i love it so much. The product do offer only 2 colours.

I like the tube, it is hygienic and just a little squeeze offer the right amount of product to be applied all ver my face. The BB cream has a tinted moisturiser texture. It is sheer, not overly thick and creamy, and it is very easy to spread.

i usually apply sunblock first before i apply this tinted moisturiser. Despite the BB cream having the SPF value(which is a plus), but the low SPF means my face wouldnt be protected enough from the sun. The bb cream has just a tiny scent, reminds me of floral, but it doesnt really bother me as it is not strong.

The sheer coverage of the cream helps cover my blemishes, and able to hide these imperfections without making my face looks caked on. It even out my skin tone and helps in giving me that radiant look. I look fresh everytime and it doesnt slide off my face despite having oily/combo skin. This being said, is also because i apply translucent powder after the BB cream application.

May i also add that this product also (thankfully) doesnt break me out despite having acne-prone skin! In fact it gives natural, dewy looking skin without clogging my pores. I look like a natural beauty without make up on.

no miracle in a tube

I purchased the Garnier BB cream thinking " Finally a BB cream mass produced and easily available on the Australian market" unfortunately I was very disappointed. Firstly this is not a true BB cream, more like a tinted moisturiser. To understand why I was disappointed you must take a look at what a BB cream is supposed to be. Traditional BB creams date back to Germany in the 50's where they were created to be both a salve for healing in laser surgery patients who also wanted coverage to hide the visible effects of the laser and to sheild the newly sensitive skin from the sun.

Most traditional BB creams have a very thick, very moisturising finish and can easily be used alone for the multi purpose of moisturising, sun protection and concealing blemishes.

The garnier one however has a very thin consistency with barely a hint of colour, nothing like a BB cream should be. It is also very oily leaving a sticky shiny finish on my skin rather like an oil slick. The oiliness of the product also gave my spot pimple breakouts almost immediately, and that is saying something seeing as I have mature skin verging on dry which can handle the richest of moisturisers with almost no side effects at all. The lack of coverage means I have to then still apply foundation and if I use a mineral foundation I end up with dry cakey looking skin UGH.

To apply you use the smallest amount over freshly cleansed skin and although it didn't work for me I can still see how it may have its use on skin that is young and blemish free, however due to the extreme shininess it needs to be set with a powder to matte it out, then you get cake face. Unfortunately not the solution I was looking for, and it wont be making it into my skincare routine anytime soon.

Best in Beauty 2012- Best Day Moisturiser

Nice and affordable

I surprisingly like this product considering I have oily skin. It is not really a true BB cream as it does not offer any treatment as such but more of a primer/light foundation/sunscreen. I love using this on days when I just want to zip down to the store or if I'm going to be at the gym as it gives a slight amount of coverage to even out my skin one and a dewy finish. I prefer to top if off with a light dusting of some pressed powder on my t zone and it is really nice and simple.

I purchased the lightest shade (I am NC25 for reference) and it's still a bit too dark so it also acts as a bronzer on me. This could be an issue for fair or pale skin tones as this product does oxidize further throughout the day so even the lightest shade would be way to dark.

It is quite affordale and comes in convienient squueze tube packaging. The lid secures firmly so it's pretty safe to travel with in your bag without spilling.

I do find this product can be greasy and heavy on my oily skin if over applied. I think it would be great for dryer skin types or for combo skin during the winter. I think I will try the oil free version for the next purchase.

It's ok...

I have very oily, pale skin with pink undertones. As in, theres no yellow in my skin AT ALL. I bought this, and while its ok, I find that it makes my skin look very yellow/bordering on orange, which means it looks completely different to my neck/décolletage, so I have to blend really really well to avoid looking silly. I also find it still doesnt stop my skin from being really oily, which is a big pain. There isnt very much coverage either, Ive been using the BB cream, then concealer then a mineral powder. Overall, it would be good if you had a yellow basek skin tone with only a few light blemishes, but its ot right for me. Th search contiues!

When applied to freshly cleansed skin, I found it easy to apply and get a flawless coverage.
At first I wasn't sure about trying it as previous brands had been too dark for my light skin tone but I found that this was different and did not look too heavy or dark. I liked the fact that I could blend and hide my bags as well as add coverage to my dark spots without using a traditional foundation or powder.

Excellent coverage with glowing skin

This was the first BB cream I tried and still feel it is the best in performance as well as price. It covers up pretty well, so is an excellent moisturizer/concealer with SPF and Vitamin C too. It gave my skin a nice healthy glow and evened out my skin tone. My skin stayed moisturized all day. The tube had a pop off cap lid which allowed me to use just how much I needed with no wastage. Perfect for summer when heavy foundation are not preferable. And have also used it under makeup and my makeup did stay in place without any issues. This was a plus as though it does provide some coverage it is just a light cover. Especially during the summer months a wonderful product to use. I have combination skin and it didn't cause any acne or irritate the existing pimples.

Best in Beauty 2012

Garnier’s Miracle Skin Perfector BB cream is available in TWO SHADES: LIGHT and MEDIUM and is housed in a tan coloured and convenient SQUEEZE TUBE with a flip lid. To get an idea of what BB cream is, it stands for BLEMISH BALM and was initially used by dermatologists to help patients who have undergone laser surgery to help conceal their post-laser scars and blemishes. BB creams typically contain a range of ingredients designed to hydrate, protect and repair the skin, even skin tone and may contain brightening and whitening properties as well as sunscreen. It’s VERSATILE SKINCARE and MAKEUP product that can be worn alone, be used as a primer or foundation itself.

Garnier’s version of a BB cream is more like a TINTED MOISTERISER and offers the following BENEFITS:
- sheer coverage
- even skin tone
- give the complexion a healthy radiant glow
- moisterise and hydrate the skin
- conceal minor blemishes
- provide sunscreen protection
I have this in the light shade and would describe it as a CREAMY moisteriser that’s EASILY BLENDABLE. It suits my skin tone quite well (perhaps just a tad yellow/tan) but close enough. It feels MOISTERSING without feeling sticky and instantly gives my face a HEALTHY GLOW and NATURAL FINISH. Whilst this cream gives me a nice DEWY FINISH and feels hydrating throughout the day, it can also leave me looking a bit SHINY even though I have normal skin, therefore this might not be suitable for those with acne prone or oily skin. I would also RECOMMEND a light dusting of translucent or blotting POWDER to eliminate the shine and keeping a powder compact handy. Also, this product has quite a STRONG FLORAL FRAGRANCE which may irritate those who are sensitive with scents or have sensitive skin.
Overall, I am happy with this product, as for me, it DELIVERS WHAT IT CLAIMS to do but perhaps the name “BB cream” may be a bit misleading. In my experience and what I’ve researched online, BB creams are generally a lot thicker in consistency and offer better/full coverage, whilst Garnier’s version is more like that of a tinted moisteriser. However, for those looking for an AFFORDABLE 2-in-1 skincare and makeup product that’s quick and easy to apply and offers sheer coverage, this might be a good product to try.

Not good for blemish prone skin

If you have blemish prone skin, this is not the product for you. My sister gave this product to try after she had a bad reaction to it (massive breakout). As my skin is clearer than hers i though it would be OK, bad idea, 3 big pimples came up after 2 days of use.

Glosscars Best in Beauty 2012 - Miracle in a tube!

Unless you have been living under a rock, or are a creature belonging to the male species you would have heard about Garnier's Miracle Skin Perfector or to be put more simply, BB cream.

Essentially BB creams, or blemish balm creams, are a Korean concept. They are supposed to be multi use products combining moisturization, anti ageing, concealing, mattifying properties, as well as giving you all the benefits of SPF and a tinted moisturizer... all in one!

Garnier's Miracle Skin Perfector BB cream comes in a simple, yet cute tube with a pop-top cap lid that is the perfect size for your handbag. It is available in two shades; light and medium.

There are a tonne of unique things about this cream. First of all, I use the light shade which is a really good shade match for my skin. The consistency is slightly thicker than other tinted moisturizers I have tried but it's super easy to blend out as it's incredibly silky and smooth.

The BB cream lasts me an entire day out of about 8 hours and makes sure my skin looks dewy throughout. I love the fact that it has an SPF, and yet still manages to photograph pretty well so thumbs up for that. It has quite sheer coverage though, I'd say low to medium. so if you're in the market for more coverage then look elsewhere.

Overall, Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector BB cream stays true to its claims of 5 benefits in 1 and is great in terms of being fast and simple to use. It's excellent for girls who are running late in the morning, keep one in your handbag for no-makeup / no-sunscreen / no-moisturizer emergencies!

Has very light coverage. Doesn't work well with my skin as it makes it seem very oily and it stays oily all day. Not the best when my skin is already oily.

Would be great if it had better coverage and if it was less oily.

I have the one for oily/combination skin

I took a real chance on this as the original broke me out so bad!!
I'm glad I did though.

the light shade suits me very well.
when I first apply there is an alcohol like smell which I don't like much but it dissipates soon.
I find it very easy to apply with my fingers or a foundation brush.
it dries matte. I like the dewy look but know if I had it from the start it just would not last so I apply a little silica powder on my nose and forehead.
I find after like 5 hours my oil starts to come through and it looks so nice!! and thankfully, it actually still lasts the rest of the day.
the coverage is actually really good too.

the best thing about this though is the cheap price and the fact it did not break me out at all and did not give me a reaction on my sensitive skin :D

Pleasently surprised but still unsure.

I was surprised and the level of coverage that this product has. I was expecting something along the lines of other tinted moistures which are so sheer you cant tell the difference. This product definitely helped to even out my complexion, though not as well as a foundation. The product has a clean smell and A very creamy, moisturising texture. It leaves the skin feeling well moisturised. I don't particularly like the dewy finish so I top this product off with my compressed powder. This product would definitely work for me during the colder months where my skin is prone to dryness...However, I cant see myself using this in summer as it may be a little too heavy for my skin. I would be tempted to replace this with my usual base of foundation during my 'good' skin days where I don't need full coverage.

Nice and affordable

I surprisingly like this product considering I have oily skin. It is not really a true BB cream as it does not offer any treatment as such but more of a primer/light foundation/sunscreen. I love using this on days when I just want to zip down to the store or if I'm going to be at the gym as it gives a slight amount of coverage to even out my skin one and a dewy finish. I prefer to top if off with some pressed powder on my t zone and it is really nice and simple. I purchased the lightest shade (I am NC25 for reference) and it's still a bit too dark so it also acts as a bronzer on me. This could be an issue for fair or pale skin tones as this product does oxidize further throughout the day so even the lushest shade would be way to dark.
It is quite affordale and comes in convienient sneeze tube packaging. The lid secures firmly so it's pretty safe to travel with in your bag without spilling.
I do find this product can be greasy and heavy on my oily skin if over applied. I think it would be great for dryer skin types or for combo skin during the winter. I think I will try the oil free version for the next purchase.

ALright

This product provides a lot of coverage, considering it being a moisturiser and not a full coverage foundation. Yet, it manages to cover up pretty good. Although I love using this product, and will continue to use it. I still find it a little bit too greasy and sometimes take a bit long to set. But I have a trick to fix this problem. After applying this bb cream I would use a piece of tissue and just pat it on my face. I find that doing so illuminates the shine and removes all the excess product that is leaving my face feel thick and heavy. After im done, i would just apply concealer for better coverage.

Perfect coverage for glowing skin

I usually wear tinted SPF moisturizer with foundation over the top because I hate the red blotchiness of my cheeks. I LOVE this product! It is thick and creamy but goes on smooth to even my skin tone, moisturise and leave my skin matt, glowing and smelling great! The light shade suits my complexion perfectly and I no longer wear foundation :)

This is going to be part of my everyday regime

The best thing about this cream is that it provides quite a lot of coverage for a tinted moisturiser. The colours blended in really well too. I use 2 layers for days I don't want to use any foundation. It also preps the skin for make up. Unlike foundation, it does not cake at your spots.

not the product for me.

I have combination, oily skin and am prone to breakouts if I don't take care of/clean my skin properly.
I don't like the consistency and feel of this bb cream. It feels quite heavy on the skin (but most bb creams I've tried are similar to this), but considering the low to medium (when builded up) coverage, I'd rather wear a thin layer of foundation on the areas of my face that I need coverage.
The colour selection is much too small.
Since my face is oily, I set it with a translucent powder, but still found my skin to look oily and slightly greasy after a few hours. The staying power is average, and is slightly extended when using a setting powder.
I also noticed that the product oxidised to a slightly orange, and noticeably darker tone.
This product was definitely not right for me, however, if you have dry skin that only needs light coverage, and do match any one of the colours available, I think it would be an okay product.

I AM IN LOVE!

Honestly, I was not expecting much out of this product because I had seen some very bad review, especially about the oilyness that it brings to this skin. As someone who has skin that tends to get oily, i wanted to try it out for myself. It feels amazing on !! your skin can breathe and its very hydrating! it also blends very well into the skin, though the colours are a bit funny so even though i have olive skin and i would usually go for a medium colour, i use light. But apart from that it does everything it claims to do! I even hav scarring from past acne on my cheeks and its barely visible once the cream is blended in to the skin! Plus, the spf factor is a bonus! This product will definately be my best friend in summer when i dont want to wear foundation but want my skin to look fresh and glowing!

Broke me out

I do not recommend for sensitive skin as there is fragrance and it is very strong. The minute you open the tube, the wiff of strong perfume-fruity/floral scent just comes right out. It gave me a headache. It also broke me out badly and I still have acne scars from it.

I don't recommend for oily skin either because it has a very dewy, sticky finish and feels greasy.

Feels heavy on the face.

Has very light coverage but does even out skintone.

Worth 3-5 stars depending on skin type - XLNT Colours & Natural Look

My daughter and I both tried this product - she uses the one that suits a 'greener', olive skin tone and I use the one for the warmer skin tone. These colours are excellent because they look quite natural on even though they provide good medium coverage.

I can hardly tell that my daughter is wearing anything except that her skin looks really good! So there is no mask-like effect at all with this product. Easy to apply for beginners and old-timers alike! My daughter isn't allowed to wear make-up to school but with this product she actually can get away with looking natural enough that you wouldn't know (unless you were her mum or best friend of course!).

The skin's moisturisation is well protected with this product.

So the colours are fantastic and the formula looks really nice and natural. The only thing I don't really like is that, with my oily combo skin type, I tend to find that it feels a little too heavy for my liking - but I'm pretty fussy - and I like to feel like I'm not wearing make-up even though I am! I do think it feels 'too much' for my skin type. I've tried lighter-feeling products and I just prefer those to this.

Then again, my dryer and sensitive-skinned daughter finds this not heavy-feeling at all. It seems to soak in and blend quickly with her skin. I actually think it's a beautiful product on her.

I'm probably being a little harsh giving it a three rating - but that's for me and my skin type. For my daughter I think it could easily be a four star product - maybe edging up to a four and half star product. It'd be more useful with a high spf in it too which I need in a product.

Very well worth a try if you have the opportunity - just make sure you pick the right 'colour' tone for you own skin colouring. The one that suits my daughter looks a shocka on me and the one that suits me looks way to warm for my daughter.

I can certainly understand why some beauties have give this a four star rating and even a five star too.

Quite nice

I got this bb cream for a bargain a few months ago, and I'm kind of glad I did. I love the creamy consistency of this bb cream, it blends in seamlessly and gives a nice even coverage. My skin looks radiant and glowing when I use this.
The only downfall was that it took a long time to settle on my skin compared to my regular foundations, and kind of felt like it was just sitting there waiting to slide off. This feeling does subside after about 20mins for me unless i use a setting powder which stops that feeling straight away. Also the fruity-like scent does linger all day long so it's probably a good thing I don't mind it!
For it's price I think it's a good purchase for those looking for a cheap tinted moisturiser with extras. I however don't think I will repurchase as it does tend to cause a few pimples if I use it more than once or twice a week.

Loved it in the beginning, but now I'm not so sure.

I wear the light shade of this product. At first I loved this product. I started wearing it in Summer and I found that it gave my skin a really good dewy effect. Some people even commented on how my skin looked. In my excitement, I went and bought quite a few bottles (Read: 8 bottles) when it was on special for 50% off. But now that it is winter, something is not quite right about this product. It doesn't seem to match my skin anymore (it looks too dark/orange).
I'm hoping that it will start suiting my skin again as we come into the warmer months.
Overall, this product gives more coverage than a typical tinted moisturiser, but not enough moisture for someone with dry skin.

alright

It's a nice, light product that does give me a bit more coverage than just my Swisppers tinted moisturiser. I find that if I set it with powder, a lot of the oiliness problems are solved. Not sure if it is a real bb cream though in the sense that it doesn't really add more to the skincare routine other than moisture and a bit of coverage.

Just a note - I've got normal to combination skin and I've noticed I tend to get more spots since using it but it hasn't totally broken me out like some other users have found with them.

its actually pretty decent

I highly recommend this for busy mums.
It’s easily purchased (while you’re doing the grocery run)
It’s very easy to apply, just with old school fingers
SPF 15+
The price is ok (I think I’d be happier around $7 or $8 for a Garnier product though)

This is just the product I’m after. I’m so time restricted with a 19month old. I need something that will do just enough coverage, look natural, has spf and just slapped on in between days I don’t need full foundation.

It definitely loses stars for the colour range. It’s either orange or less orange, and also loses stars because there's no testers at the store so you only figure this out once you get home. I have to use a translucent powder to calm the orangeness down but once that’s on, I find the combination pretty darn good (I use Australis finishing silica powder).

Even though BB creams are to be used just after you wash your face, no moisturiser or powder necessary (as stated on the packaging) I find I DO need to put a moisturiser on just so it doesn’t go on so patchy and the powder just to extend the staying power and to make it more seamless.

I’ve just ordered the skin79 one just to compare and I’ll update the review once it arrives, really hoping for a better colour option.

This is really easy to slap on. I do still use a moisturiser and a translucent finishing powder just for extra seamlessness and lasting power. Its got SPF 15+ so it defintialy earns brownie points for that.

It loses a couple of stars for the colour range. Orange or less orange, and also loses stars because there's no testers at the store. But even though I never touch any warm coloured foundations, always opting for yellows, it actually looks less orange when applied with a white translucent powder (such as the silica finishing powders).

I bought this cream to use at school, as we're not supposed to wear makeup and the teachers are pretty strict. The light colour was not great on my really pale skin, and took a lot of blending. However, it did help to even out my skin tone. I used a concealer on my nose as well, to help hide some of the worst redness. It is quite oily, so needs to be washed off at night like a foundation, but this would be good for summer along with powder to get rid of shine.

Bit of a dissapointment...

I was highly anticipating this product. A drugstore BB cream is very hard to find, particularly in Australia.
I'd been hearing so much about it and the advertising for it was everywhere - in magazines, beauty blogs, even billboards!
I purchased it around a week after it was released from Priceline for $10 (it was on special). I was so excited to use it - but I shouldn't have been because this product does not live up to the standards I had been expecting and hoping for. Upon applying the product I was expecting at least some coverage. But it offered little to no coverage and didn't even do much to even my skin tone. In my opinion, this product is a moisturizer at best. It does make my skin feel a lot softer and smoother, however, it does nothing in terms of offering coverage and giving skin a more even and radiant appearance.

Not a miracle cream, but it does work!

My sister gave me this product to try when I had run out of my foundation and couldn't get to the shops. I think I was expecting the 'miracle' that is promised in the title of the product, so I was dissapointed the next day when I used it and found that the coverage was minimal and consitancy was similar to that of a below par tinted moisturiser. I only used it that one day and then left it in the bottom of my make up bag, never expecting to use it again.

Fast forward a couple of months, and my skin had broken out terribly (and unusually, my skin is normally very well behaved) due to stress and work and I really wanted to give it a break from my heavy daily primer/foundation routine.I decided to give the BB cream another go, and I was much happier with it this time! Although it is not full coverage, it did mask the hideousness of my breakouts somewhat, while also not overloading it with moisture. It gave my skin a healthy glow and I just popped a light dose of bronzer and blush over the top to give my face a hint of colour. Using this product over a few days, my skin began to clear up, even out and look healthy and natural.

While I don't think this is a go to product for me, it's handy to have on hand when you want to give your skin a break from make up and I did begin to see some improvements with regular use.

Depends what you're looking for...

Quite a few reviewers complained about it being the coverage being too sheer. Valid complaint when reviewing a foundation. However, they're missing the point. A BB cream aims to improve skin tone, texture and to give a nice glow. This one ticks all of those boxes.

As I have skin that's quite oily, it was necessary to apply powder, but I would do that anyway. It's a lovely base, and I found the powder set wonderfully, got rid of shine, and still let a "glow" come through.

I used a sample of this to test before i bought it.
I loved the way it applied on my skin at first but then realized it wasn't giving my skin much coverage. I kept applying to try and gradually get some more coverage but it was hopeless. I didn't see skin perfecting at all.
It feel weird on my skin, it was oily, had a greasy feeling and Didn't feel natural.
Someone even commented on my skin saying what did you apply today, it looks greasy. So therefore it doesn't look very appealing on the skin either.
The only pro is that its a good price.

fantastic for light coverage, however not to be mistaken as foundation.

I’ve just purchased the miracle skin protector bb cream from garnier for my very first time.

After reading mixed reviews about this product and I didn’t have high expectations when trying it for the first time.
After my first application I immediately saw an even skin tone, which is a big concern of mine,

However it did not hide or cover any blemishes, which were expected.
The texture of itself was creamy and blended in naturally. It left my skin feeling smooth and fresh,

This is a great day tinted moisturiser, especially for summer if you don’t like wearing foundation.

The moisturiser left my skin feeling smooth and supple.

Good o

This is an alright product, but I probably wouldn't purchase it again. It's quick and easy to apply and I like that it has SPF, but it doesn't say that anywhere on my bottle? I apply this with my hands and blend it into my skin. It smells strongly of sunscreen and I don't really like the smell. It provides light converge, similar to a tinted moisturiser. It does leave my skin looking more on the greasy side, so I like to set it with a powder. Good for days when you just want a very light coverage - but I'm not crazy about it.

makes my skin look orange and oily

I got the light shade (there wasn't anything lighter). I like the consistency but it doesn't cover much and if I try to put more on it goes very orange. It isn't very good for oily skin but it doesn't make my skin feel very moisturised either. When I wear it it sometimes blocks my pores resulting in an increase in blackheads and pimples. If it was a bit more matte finish and in a lighter shade it would look better but as it is it just looks really obvious and fake.

Neutralises skin tone to perfection!

I wasnt expecting much when I bought this because I have quite a few acne scars and redness on my face and generally need a full coverage foundation to actually cover all my blemishes, but when I saw this on sale at coles for $9.95 I just couldnt resist! And I must say I will definitely be repurchasing it again, it is now a part of my daily skincare routine, for reference, I am an nc35 mac foundation shade and I use the light shade in this, it is slightly lighter than my skin but it completely gets rid of all my spots, scars and discolourations! For extra coverage I use another foundation over it, but on days I cant be bothered I just use this with the garnier under eye roll on and some mascara and im ready to go!
Overall, great product, works great for my combination to oily t-zone skin. Will be definitely be repurchasing!

Great foundation replacement

I love this, I have it in the light and haven't touched my bottle of Clarins since buying it. Yes it's a very shiny look, but with powder on the top it looks great. I haven't broken out because of it (which using foundation day after day always did), it's pretty cheap, and easy to use.

I'd prefer a touch lighter, but otherwise I love it.

This was the 1st BB creme I ever tired. So shocked with results!! Products light smooth texture made easily to apply. After layering, flawless looking skin was achieved. Skin appeared moist and still felt protected. I did notice that it wore off by end of day. Loved the vitamin c citrus fragrance and that the creme nourishes while doing its job.

Not sure what all the hype is about

So I bought this at half price from chemist warehouse and prior to this I had a look at the shades and decided to get medium since light was too light. The medium unfortunately was tad dark but it wasn't noticeable. Anyway, I have been using it for the last week and didn't notice any difference to if I have had used my normal moisturiser. There was no coverage at all and I've used BB cream that I bought in Japan before and it had coverage and evened out the skin but not this one. It felt a bit oily too even though my skin is usually dry it felt kind of greasy on my skin and I had to use a powder to set it.

Anyway I don't think I'll be repurchasing this again and I'm glad I didn't buy it at the full price because it's not great at all. I prefer using my Origins Vitazing moisturiser.

BB Cream.

I have never been able to use tinted moisturisers in the past as they are alwasy to dark for me, but when I found out that this came in light I just had to try it. While it did even out my complexion and make it look like I wasn't wearing foundation it did however leave my skin looking oily. However the next time I tried it with a bit of powder over the top to set it and it was perfect. This is now my weekend foundation.

Pros:

Cons:

- It looks oily on my face although it's suppose to give that dewy complexion.
- My face feels literally wet even just after minutes of application.
- Even if I apply a matte loose powder or mineral foundation powder on top, my face starts looking like a runny mess because of this product.

Miracle Skin Perfector BB Cream

I was hesitant to try this based on mixed reviews and my first impression swatching it in priceline was that it was thick and greasy. I did pick it up a while back at Coles when they had it on sale for 1/2 price (clearing out due to a change in packaging, I think).

So I've been using this everyday for a few weeks before making a decision on how I feel about it. In short, it's pretty good. It does have a thick consistency which applies smoothly but with a slightly greasy feel that most would actually call 'dewy' in appearance. The finish is nice, I don't really have many skin problems other than the occasional blemish and dry areas. This doesn't cover up dry areas so be sure to moisturise before applying this as it might actually emphasise them instead. With combination oily skin, I'm not much of a fan of the dewy look so I apply a light buff of Maybelline Dream Matte Powder over the top.

Overall, I think the product does its job in evening my complexion, minimising the appearance of blemishes, while keeping my skin feeling healthy with its moisturising properties.

Tried this product as I wanted a product I could wear everyday to work without putting on heavy makeup. When I first put it on it looks and feels great. If you happen to touch your face then throughout the day you can feel it on your hands. I have quite dry skin and I even noticed my forehead quite oily which never happens to me. Basically it's great if you are popping out for an hour or two. It doesn't last very long on the skin and definitely a winter only product.

Great for what it is

The hunt for a tinted spf moisturizer led me to this. It was on special at woollies so I gave it a go. It's not fantastic for oily skin. But I did find it minimized my pores - quite noticeably. Colour match (I picked light) was spot on, blended perfectly & gave me the light - non make up - coverage I prefer. The only downer was the oil slick by lunchtime. But, given the product doesn't promote mattifying qualities, this wasn't a surprise to me. A quick oil blot and light powder fixed the issue. Overall, a great all-in-one product at a reasonable price - just keep some blotting papers &/or powder handy.

Great for everyday wear but not for going out

I use this product as an everyday gentle cover up in conjunction with Nude by Nature's Finishing Veil. I find the end product once applied to my face can appear too shiny, as though I have really oily skin, but a quick dust of Nude by Nature's Finishing Veil holds it in place and gives me that flawless look without applying too much product to my skin and it will last the day. It haven't noticed any improved in my skin though and I've been using this product for about 6 weeks. I wouldn't use this for a special occasion or if I were going out somewhere but everyday use is great - it allows your skin to breath and keeps it moisturised.

Perfect!

Since I love the garnier undereye concealer so much, I had to give this a go. I'm always mixing my foundation with something to make it more sheer, but have found tinted moisturisers didn't give me quite enough coverage. This cream is just what I've been looking for, my skin looks so fresh and pretty, it has a sunscreen yet isn't greasy or heavy, and it gives a glow without having shimmer or glitter particles. I'd give it 10 stars if I could. (oh, yeah - a tube costs nine bucks...what's not to love)

I recently tried out the Garnier BB cream after being interested in it for so long and I'm glad I did! I have started using this almost everyday instead of foundation because It offers me just the right amount of coverage by evening out my skin tone and reducing any discolouration. The forumla is lightweight and you can hardly feel it on your skin at all. I have combination skin and I found that this lasts pretty well on my skin when set with powder. Highly recommend :)

The best I've come across

I have this cream in Light and Medium. For reference, my skin shade is NC30. Coles are currently offering a special on some Garnier products and I snatched both shades up at 50% off.

I was initially a little hesitant because my skin IS blemished and usually I rely on concealer on top of my foundation to hide the redness on my cheeks, small acne scars on my chin and dark undereye circles. I was concerned after reading some reviews that the coverage wouldn’t cut it for me. My skin is problematic and I’ve been in search for my HG tinted moisturiser which provides decent coverage but enough to let my skin breathe through. I’ve tried MAC, Clinique, Laura Mercier and this wonder-in-a-tube is by far the best. Has anyone ever had moments where you’ve put on your tinted moisturiser/ foundation and it looks good indoors but the minute you step out into the sunshine you can see broken capillaries or blemish marks through your tinted moisturiser/foundation? Since using the Garner BB, I’ve not had that! In addition, I’ve noticed that my skin tone is more even i.e. less red. I’m very impressed!

Colour wise, I still have some tan from summer so realistically; I’m probably a NC35 right now. The Medium is good when I’ve got a proper tan in the height of summer but at the moment, I’m mixing the Medium and Light to get my perfect shade. Yes, it does sit more on the pink scale than yellow and yes, it is scented, but the scent is not overpowering and I’m happy to adjust the tone with loose powder. My skin does tend to get greasy on my cheeks but so far since I started using this product four days ago (I’m on day five now), I have had no problems with the makeup slipping off. I have recently discovered Johnson & Johnsons Clean & Clear Oil-Free Moisturiser which I use under the Garner BB cream and then a pat of loose powder to set everything. In short, I’m thrilled with the Garnier BB cream and with the results I’ve seen!

I have been using this now for the past 3 weeks now and I love it. It does exactly what it says. I love that it not only covers up some imperfections I have but it actually makes my skin better. I can tell I have less blemishes after just a few days. Before buying this I had never used a bb cream or even heard of them. I often use this product on its own without any foundation on and that's another thing I love about this product.

Not long lasting on sweaty/wet faces

for those of you who sweat a lot, are in humid climates or very active do not expect this product to last. Once you sweat or put any kind of water on your skin this comes right off. Even if you set it with powder. I guess it makes removal before bed quick and easy, but if you sweat it definitely doesn't last all day.
I personally like this product, however it gives me a little too much coverage than I want. So when it comes off in the gym I am not too fussed. In Australia they only sell it in light or medium. I have olive oily skin. Medium was a shade too dark but I bought it any way. It is VERY moisturising, perhaps a little too much since I have oily skin. It definitely evens out skin tone and gives a very natural dewy finish.

Wonderful product

I first tried BB cream from a sample i got in the mail, although it was a medium tint which was to dark. I tried it anyway and was amazed how light and lovely it made my face feel. Couple of days after i went and purchased a tube of light, wow it is fantastic, i am 45 but i have quite wrinkled skin becaused of weight looss and having long hair for most of my life then had it cut short, so my face got some extra skin from the stretch of long hair. BB cream makes my skin look wonderful, you can still see some of the wrinkles but after applying it within half an hour my skin feels tight and refreshed. I love this so much i will use it every day, even when i am at home as it seems to give my skin a supple soft and beautiful glow. Thank you Garnier it is so nice to finally have a all in one cream that is inexpensive and smells so beautiful and fruity..Thank you ..

Getting there Garnier

I purchased this in the 'Medium' tone as my skin is on the darker side but after the BB Cream had set, I found that it made me look much, much darker. I don't mind looking darker but it was a bit unnatural (compared to the rest of me and the Oompa Loompa look is no-one's friend!).
My skin is relatively oily but I found that the Garnier BB Cream did help settle this, making my t-zone noticeably less shiny. It also evened out my skin tone but still too dark for my liking.

This product has a really refreshing, invigorating scent to it. I do really like it but it's a shame that the colour isn't perfectly matching or adapting.

I think it's still worth a try for everyone wanting a more radiant look without the cost or the long-term damage of a heavy foundation. BB Cream really is the way to go for everyday, light coverage.

Nothing more than a tinted moisturiser

Before using this product I had never used a BB cream and actually I didn’t even really know what one was before word got around that Garnier were releasing one. I’ve never been a big fan of Garnier products as I find they can be too harsh and the ones I have tried have strong irritating fragrances. I was really keen to try this though because my skin is pretty good and I don’t necessarily need to wear foundation, but something with a light coverage is reassuring especially if it’s going to cover a few of those imperfections up. I got this product in ‘light’ and I did notice it looked fairly dark. The colour was well suited to me, however since my skin is not the lightest of skin out there I don’t think this product would be suited to everyone as there would be a lot of girls out there this would just be too dark for (although I have heard the colours adapt to your skin, though I’m sceptical of just how far this really could go). I found I only needed a small amount of this to cover my entire face and the colour blended in well without leaving lines around the edges etc. The cream did give a nice light coverage however I didn’t notice any skin perfecting qualities which was a shame as I feel that those are the qualities they are marketing this cream on. The cream gave my skin a bit of a glow which I definitely liked however it also left my skin quite shiny, especially on my nose. My skin is not shiny ordinarily but with this cream on it was and this is a big downer on this product for me. It does say you can use this under your makeup so you could put a powder on top or other foundation but I really don’t see the point of doing that. I guess that could be beneficial if this cream really did even complexion and correct blemishes etc and you just wanted a bit more coverage, but in my opinion the cream didn’t perfect or even begin to. The scent of this cream also did bother me a bit but though after application I didn’t notice it too much so I could have got used to this I reckon.
I am a bit disappointed in this product as I find it doesn’t perform how it claims to. I don’t think this product is any better than a tinted moisturiser, and to be honest I own much better tinted moisturisers than this which cost less and have the mattifying look I (and most people) am after.

The cream came in a fawn coloured squeeze bottle with a white cap that can sit nicely on it's own lid so that you never have trouble with getting product out of the tube.
When you open the tube and smell the product it has a very faint beauty product smell that is not overpowering at all.
A pea sized amount was enough to cover my entire face and it applied very easily, smoothly and was absorbed right into my skin leaving me with a nice non oily/shiny finish which I was very impressed with but with a definite feeling of hydration and suppleness.
It also definitely gives light foundation coverage without the heaviness that usually comes with foundation but my main problem is that the ‘light’ shade is way too dark for me and makes it look as if I am wearing a fake tan on my face which I do not like. So sadly I guess I will be passing this product onto someone else who can get away with this shade.
Overall this is an affordable product but I see it more as a light coverage foundation/creme for people with deeper complexions than mine.

Average

After hearing all the hype about this product, I found it rather average, it didn’t really live up to my expectations. I’ve tried it in both light and medium, and have found my skin tone is more in between the two. It felt nice and moisturising when I put it on my face, but was rather greasy, and left my face looking like I had just applied a thick coating of sunscreen. The SPF 15 protection is definitely an important feature of this product, but when it left my face looking like I was wearing sunscreen, I might as well have just applied normal SPF 30, and I would’ve had extra protection that way. It definitely gave my skin some much needed hydration, which was, as claimed, long-lasting. On the other hand, it didn’t do much for making my blotchy complexion look even and unfortunately wasn’t very effective at helping to correct my many blemishes. Overall, it was a good moisturiser, but not very effective in terms of its other claims. It was rather underwhelming, when compared to the great expectations I had.

Fantastic all rounder!

I have tried a number of brands of BB cream and have found many of them too light for my medium olive skin tone. The medium shade of the Garnier one is perfect for me and blends right in to give me a naturally flawless looking complexion. I use this alone on days I want to skip foundation but I have also used it as a daily morning Moisturiser and I found if I apply it and give it a few minutes to soak in, it makes a great base for foundation and almost works like a primer to keep my makeup fresh looking throughout the day. The coverage is better than a tinted Moisturiser but I often still apply a bit of concealer it I'm just wearing it on it's own.

Glosscar Nomination - Not quite the promised miracle.

Garnier's Miracle Skin Perfector BB Cream has had such mixed reviews that it's hard to believe we're all reviewing the same product. I think this has a lot to do with the skin types that it's more suited to as well as customers expectations.

I'd never tried a BB cream before so for me there was nothing to compare it to but I believe this may be why some reviewers have been disappointed as I've heard so many good things about certain brands, mostly those coming out of Asia. For me the biggest issue is that it's a little heavy for my combo skin so if I'm going for a really glowing look then it's fine as my base otherwise I have to set it with powder or I can end up shining just a tad too much.

I do find the flip-top lid on the tube extremely convenient and wish more products were like this, it's also very hygenic as you are squeezing out the product and not dipping into it. As I've already mentioned this cream is quite thick so it needs a bit of rubbing in to distribute evenly although I guess a thicker layer may help hide imperfections and it does have a pleasant scent.

Garnier makes a lot of claims about this product and I just don't think it lives up to them, if you've started out with good skin with a few minor blemishes or pigmentation marks then it probably does brighten, conceal and all of the rest but for me with my large pores, more than the occasion spot and uneven skin tone it does very little so for me Garnier's BB Cream is just a tinted moisturiser and nothing more.

ok

After all the hype about this product i was expecting a lot and i have to say i was quite disappointed. Its definately not a miracle cream but i guess for the price what can you expect. I bought both the light and dark shades to try. I do have reasonably fair skin but use a fake tanner on my face during summer plus its really hard to tell from the box which shade to use. The dark shade is very dark and you would need to have quite dark skin tone. The light shade is also quite dark so i wouldn't recommend this product if you are very fair. As it said it was a tinted moisturiser i first used it as that but found it was very moisturising at all and quite hard to blend. When i used it over the top of my regular moisturiser i found it much better but it doesn't cover blemishes or even out skin tone too well so unless you already have a flawless complexion i would try something else.

Glosscars 2012 Review

I was pleasantly surprised by this BB cream. I have used BB creams/balms before, I really love them but I hadn't tried the Garnier one. I'm not much of a fan of Garnier skincare, they don't use natural ingredients and I find their products (or some of them) to be very harsh for my skin. But after reading so many positive comments from the BH ladies, I thought I had to give it a try. I got myself the light shade as I have very pale skin. I was a little worried when I opened it as even the light shade looked quite dark to me but I tried it anyway. It went on to my face in a dark streak but then as I blended, it turned almost invisible, creating a light even-toned layer over my skin. I had no makeup rings or anything else that was horrible. I think if you were someone that had beautiful skin; no scarring, no redness, no pigmentation, you could get away with wearing this alone, it would be perfect but for someone like me who does have pigmentation/dark spots and uneven skin-tone, I found I didn't get the amount of coverage I desired for a foundation.

Not a miracle cream, but still good

I've never tried any proper BB creams, so when I first tried this product, I had no idea what to expect.
The Miracle Skin Perfect is pretty much a tinted moisturizer... I have it in the light shade, which is a tad darker than my natural skin tone, but it doesn't look out of place (no Snooki-type orange face for me!)...you don't need a lot of product - I made the mistake of squeezing too much out of the tube then had no idea to do with the heap on my hand after I'd finished with it on my face...my mum ended up taking it off my hands, literally! :)
The coverage is what you'd expect of a tinted moisturizer, light, but it odes a pretty good job of balancing out the redness in my cheeks.
Overall, it's a good, inexpensive tinted moisturizer...but it's no 'miracle cream'!

Glosscars Vote - A great tinted moisturiser!

I found this product to be a great tinted moisturiser, but matched with very misleading advertising by Garnier.
The tv ads say it is a BB cream, but then the back of the box calls it "inspired by bb creams" which really makes you wonder is it or isnt it a bb cream?
In my opinion it is a great tinted moisturiser, but nothing more. This product didnt perform any miracles - it didnt get rid of the redness in my skin or even out my complexion any more than a foundation does when applied liberally.
A liked the consistency of it a lot and the way it moisturised my skin. However I did find that I needed to set it with a lot of powder for it to absorb the oily sheen it left.
The colour of the lightest one is still a bit dark for my skin and there was a very slight orangey tinge to it, but a lot less than other tinted moisturisers I have used.
It took quite a bit of work to blend it down my neck, but the effect was a nice colour and it blends well with cream blush. I would use it as face bronzer as I'm very pale.
The amount given is really good for the price and the tube is easy to use.

Like.

After a long time of being curious about BB Creams and hearing people rave about it, I decided it was time to try one and start with one I could easily pick up from my local pharmacy/chemist. Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector.

Overall I think all the rave about BB Cream made he get my hopes up too high, but overall I do really like the product.

Things I don't like:
- Consistancy; for something that is a moisturizer it feels very dry while spreading it over your face with your fingers
- Lighter coverage than expected: I had just expected a bit more, but it's still coverage and better than nothing.
- Shading; this is something that ticks me off about all BB Creams. Why make shades if it mostly adapts to your color anyway (my darker friend and I share the same shade of this product apparently)? Why make shades if you don't let people try testers in the store to pick the right shade?

Things I like:
- It has improved my skin after just two days of using it. My skin seems to have cleared and brightened up already.
- Subtle coverage - in a way even though I expected more, it feels more natural: this cream mostly takes the redness out of blemishes, but does not fully cover that there is something there. I guess that is the only way to keep looking natural.
- Smell and packaging; very pleasant. That is all.
- Price; for something so much more obviously effective than most moisturizers, you'd think they'd up the price-tag on us, but no.

Overall I really like this and it's perfect for people who need only some coverage. I AM going to try Asian BB Creams and will probably like them more, nonetheless this BB Cream inspired Garnier product is no rip off. You might not get everything Missha would give you, but that doesn't mean you get nothing.

Miracle Skin with BB Cream

BB creams are the hype in Asia at the moment and nothing excites me more than being able to access these goodies all the way in Australia. Garnier's Miracle Skin Perfector, lives up to its claims in giving amazing skin, with the added benefits of hydration, SPF and a beautiful glowy finish.

I am currently using the shade 'medium' which is a bronzey beige. At first i was a bit skeptical whether the shade was right for me but never fear, because Garnier's BB cream is super blendable. Unlike other foundations, BB creams are designed to be applied by hand and even so, it gives a flawless, steak free finish every single time.

The texture of the product is similar to that of a tinted moisturser but i think it is slightly thicker. It has SPF 15 making it perfect for the outdoors and everyday use. Personally, some people comment saying how heavily fragranced the product is but to be honest, i am in love with the smell.

I don't usually top it off with powder and even so, my skin doesn't become an oily mess. Instead, it evens out my skin to give an illuminated, dewy finish that is very natural. Even when doing sports outside, my skin continues to look greak and feel great.

Garnier's Miracle Skin Perfector has literally 'perfected' my skin with it's hydrating properties, ability to hide my blemishes, give a streak free application every time and give a super dewy finish. Unlike other BB creams, i have yet to break out and it feels light all day long.

Glosscar review

I haven't used a BB cream before so i can't compare this product with them, BB creams were as i understood more like a foundation which you could build the coverage where you needed it.
For me this product was more like a tinted moisturiser so i will review it as that.
First off i am a real foundation person, i like a good medium coverage set with powder, i use a primer so this set up keeps me going pretty much all day. The only times i use a tinted moisturiser is at the weekends when i am going to be home all day (or when i am going to be lazing by a pool which unfortunately does not happen all that often !)
So with my tinted moisturiser ground rules set i really thought this was a good product for me, i have really dry skin that is screaming out for moisture so i didn't find that it was overly oily on my skin. I used my normal moisturiser/sunscreen combo and once that had settled i used the BB, it went on nicely, smoothly, no rough bits around the edge of my face or temples, i did use powder to get rid of the shine it left.
It actually gave me pretty good coverage (but not enough that i would swap my foundation for it) and felt comfortable, didn't dry out or cake during the day.
A good one for me to have in the cupboard when i just want to have light coverage. And i got it at priceline for something ridiculous like $6.80 ~ for that price it certainly does what i expect :)

I have heard so many great things about BB creams so could not wait to try the first one released in Australia! I used the colour "medium" and this suited my skin tone perfectly. The cream comes in a simple beige tube containing 50mls of product and is a great size for traveling. I only needed to squirt out approximately a 1cm line of product to give all over coverage to my face. 
The cream smells fresh and floral with no obvious sunscreen scent. The BB cream is easy to apply, absorbs quickly with no greasy residue and feels lightweight on my skin. My skin had a healthy glow after applying, whilst not looking like I had makeup on. While it did not eliminate my pigmentation, skin redness etc, it diminished their appearance. I can see this being a bargain summer staple for me. Will definitely purchase in the future.

My opinion has changed a little from my last review.
I'll start with the positives first:
It is very affordable and a product that would not need to be replaced often. The product is very easily dispensed from the tube.
It is applied and blended evenly and provides a little coverage. It adds some good colour to my skin though it is far from a match- and I have the light shade. If they came out with an even lighter shade I'd make it a regular purchase. The last time I had given a review the lighting was bad so it looked like it fit, until I saw it in natural light.
I wouldn't use this instead of a primer, and find it to be too many layers to have a primer, bb cream then foundation on top.

Amazing!!

I LOVE this stuff! It was kind of an impulse buy when I first came across it in priceline one sale for $8, and I'm so glad I decided to get it! I've never used a BB cream before but to me this is the perfect tinted moisturiser. It is soo moisturising that I can even put translucent powder on top to help it stay on longer without it drying my skin out. The coverage is perfect, not too sheer but not heavy feeling. Definitely gives my skin a dewy glow, though I can't really say if it corrects scars or blemishes as my skin is pretty clear. I only wish it came with a higher spf factor.. but that is literally the only down side!

Glosscars 2012

I had the chance to trial this product for the Beauty Heaven trial team and am re-submitting my review for the 2012 Glosscars. I've never tried a BB cream before, so I was really interested to see what this product would be like. Although it has a list of benefits as long as your arm, none of them seem to be related to "blemishes"? Anyway, it does provide spf, is quite hydating and provides reasonably good coverage. I only need to use a tiny amount (it is quite pigmented), so it will last for quite some time. It comes in a 50ml tube, which makes it easy to dispense and safe to throw into my make up bag.
Initially, it feels a little "sunscreeny", with a tacky finish, but it set after a couple of minutes to a more matte finish. However, by the end of the day I find that it gets a bit shiny through my oily t zone.
I have been using it in the "light" shade - it also comes in "medium". I have fairly pale skin but the "light" shade was a little dark for my liking, so I would not recommend it to anyone with very fair skin. I also would not recommend it to anyone with oily skin, as it is a little bit heavy and greasy.
Overall it is a good product for anyone wanting a multi tasker with heavier coverage than a tinted moisturiser.

Worst BB cream...

I did not like this BB cream at all! Of all the BB creams, this one would have to be the worst.. it didn't blend well with my skin tone (I had medium) which is usually alright on my slightly tan asian skintone.. THe other BB creams I've used have done an amazing job of blending in especially when the starting cream is nowhere near my skin tone! It took a while to sink in so my face didn't have that obvious "foundation" look on it... People even commented saying my skin looked oiler than normal. It wasn't thick enough and smoothed my skin out but didn't do well in hiding blemishes. Wouldn't purchase again, I'm probably not even going to finish using it..

Great tinted moisturiser

Over the last few months I was testing different bb creams from different brands. There is so much hype about them, I couldn't resist. However it was really difficult to find the one that will match my skin tone and won't make me look greyish. BB cream from Garnier is so far the best I've tried, but I wouldn't necessarily call it a BB Cream. To me it's more like a tinted moisturiser, I am sure that in comparison to other BB creams, the ingredients would be slightly different.
But the name doesn't really matter, I really love this product. I have it in 02-Light and it's a perfect match for my skin. It blends beautifully while adding a bit of coverage. Not a lot, but enough to even out the skin tone and cover minor discoloration. But if you are a fan of medium to full coverage, you will probably find it too light.
I don't like the cakey look and with my dry skin it was sometimes difficult to avoid. Heavier foundations simply don't look good on me so most of the time I opt for something light and moisturising. Garnier BB Cream is amazing - it looks very natural, doesn't dry my skin and add a nice glow to my complexion. It's pretty long lasting too, good enough for a day at work. I do need to blot it around midday because it can get a bit shiny and greasy on my forehead. But that's not a problem as this is the case with most foundations.
Out of the 5 claims as to what it does, I can easily confirm 4. It is moisturising, it does even out the skin and adds a bit of glow and it has SPF which is a must. Can't say much about blemish correction because I don't really believe a tinted moisturiser can heal my spots. What I can say is that it didn't beak me out and because it feels so light on the skin it allows it to breathe and in that way it can help in clearing the skin.
The easiest way to apply it is by using your hands. It doesn't leave streaks or greasy residue. So if you won't use too much, it should sink into the skin and shouldn't move too much during the day. But of course a bit of powder over the top will extend its lasting power.
I am really happy with Garnier BB cream and will continue using it. Especially that the price is reasonable, comparing to other drugstore foundations and tinted moisturizers.

I first tried Garnier's Miracle Skin Perfector BB Cream around September 2011. It was love at first application with this product and it immediately became my number one quick beauty fix. This product is quick and easy to apply so when I am running late I just apply a small amount of my BB cream and I am ready to go.

The texture Garnier's Miracle Skin Perfector BB Cream is quite thick, it is a very similar texture to a thick liquid foundation, But once this product is applied it instantly becomes weightless and you cannot even tell you are wearing it. This BB cream comes in two shades light and medium, I have quite a fair complexion so I opted for the light shade. Although the light shade is a bit darker than my skin tone it does not make me look orange like a lot of other products do when they are too dark for your skin, I just look like I have a nice glowing tan.

This BB cream provides my skin with a light to medium coverage, which I find fantastic in hot weather as I prefer to wear minimal make up but I do not like to go completely natural as I have uneven skin tone and redness issues with my skin . Garnier's Miracle Skin Perfector BB Cream helps me to conceal my skin issues whilst still letting my skin breath and providing me with a flawless complexion. If you are looking for slightly heavier coverage you can also apply this product as a base for your foundation, I tend to use this method of application when I am going out and want good coverage that will last all night.

Garnier's Miracle Skin Perfector BB cream is quite hydrating but I would still recommend that you apply a light moisturiser before using this product. This product is a bit like a cosmetic with the added benefit of hydrating your skin, but I still think it is important to stick to normal skin care regime.

I cannot find a negative thing to say about this product, I think it is a fantastic multi-purpose product that is a real time saver. I really do not know how I lived without this product before, it is absolutely amazing and I am so glad I found it.

Sheer coverage tinted moisteriser

Garnier’s Miracle Skin Perfector BB cream is available in TWO SHADES: LIGHT and MEDIUM and is housed in a tan coloured and convenient SQUEEZE TUBE with a flip lid. To get an idea of what BB cream is, it stands for BLEMISH BALM and was initially used by dermatologists to help patients who have undergone laser surgery to help conceal their post-laser scars and blemishes. BB creams typically contain a range of ingredients designed to hydrate, protect and repair the skin, even skin tone and may contain brightening and whitening properties as well as sunscreen. It’s VERSATILE SKINCARE and MAKEUP product that can be worn alone, be used as a primer or foundation itself.

Garnier’s version of a BB cream is more like a TINTED MOISTERISER and offers the following BENEFITS:
- sheer coverage
- even skin tone
- give the complexion a healthy radiant glow
- moisterise and hydrate the skin
- conceal minor blemishes
- provide sunscreen protection
I have this in the light shade and would describe it as a CREAMY moisteriser that’s EASILY BLENDABLE. It suits my skin tone quite well (perhaps just a tad yellow/tan) but close enough. It feels MOISTERSING without feeling sticky and instantly gives my face a HEALTHY GLOW and NATURAL FINISH. Whilst this cream gives me a nice DEWY FINISH and feels hydrating throughout the day, it can also leave me looking a bit SHINY even though I have normal skin, therefore this might not be suitable for those with acne prone or oily skin. I would also RECOMMEND a light dusting of translucent or blotting POWDER to eliminate the shine and keeping a powder compact handy. Also, this product has quite a STRONG FLORAL FRAGRANCE which may irritate those who are sensitive with scents or have sensitive skin.
Overall, I am happy with this product, as for me, it DELIVERS WHAT IT CLAIMS to do but perhaps the name “BB cream” may be a bit misleading. In my experience and what I’ve researched online, BB creams are generally a lot thicker in consistency and offer better/full coverage, whilst Garnier’s version is more like that of a tinted moisteriser. However, for those looking for an AFFORDABLE 2-in-1 skincare and makeup product that’s quick and easy to apply and offers sheer coverage, this might be a good product to try.

no miracle cream in a tube

I purchased the Garnier BB cream thinking " Finally a BB cream mass produced and easily available on the Australian market" unfortunately I was very disappointed. Firstly this is not a true BB cream, more like a tinted moisturiser. To understand why I was disappointed you must take a look at what a BB cream is supposed to be. Traditional BB creams date back to Germany in the 50's where they were created to be both a salve for healing in laser surgery patients who also wanted coverage to hide the visible effects of the laser and to sheild the newly sensitive skin from the sun.

Most traditional BB creams have a very thick, very moisturising finish and can easily be used alone for the multi purpose of moisturising, sun protection and concealing blemishes.

The garnier one however has a very thin consistency with barely a hint of colour, nothing like a BB cream should be. It is also very oily leaving a sticky shiny finish on my skin rather like an oil slick. The oiliness of the product also gave my spot pimple breakouts almost immediately, and that is saying something seeing as I have mature skin verging on dry which can handle the richest of moisturisers with almost no side effects at all. The lack of coverage means I have to then still apply foundation and if I use a mineral foundation I end up with dry cakey looking skin UGH.

To apply you use the smallest amount over freshly cleansed skin and although it didn't work for me I can still see how it may have its use on skin that is young and blemish free, however due to the extreme shininess it needs to be set with a powder to matte it out, then you get cake face. Unfortunately not the solution I was looking for, and it wont be making it into my skincare routine anytime soon.

glosscars 2012- I am loving this little help!

I heard the buzz about this product when it just came out and bought it straight away, knowing that it is the first BB cream in Australia too. The texture of this BB cream is tad lighter than normal tinted moisturiser,so it absorbs pretty quick to my skin and one that i can wear without worrying about primer. i slap this on then dust a light translucent powder on top to help it stay on longer,full day to be exact since i dont like touching up my make up here and there. I bought the medium colour, and it is a perfect shade for my skin tone. It doesnt break my skin, giving me acnes and doesnt slide off my skin even when i am sweating. it gives me that dewy complexion that i want and doesnt add to my already oily/combo skin.
It is definitely perfect for that 'natural look- i am not wearing thick foundation look' that i want! :) Definitely a plus when i got my 2nd tube from priceline too for only $10. Now i am stock up for aut/winter too!

First of all I read lost of bad to mediocre reviews about this product online and thought that I'd definitely not like it but then decided to order my free trial anyway.

Why I love it - It makes my skin glow. It doesn't have that weird grey colour that some o ther BB creams have.

perfect!

The miracle skin perfector bb cream by garnier huh?
Thats what i though when i saw this product on tv.
I was like hey that sounds good, but why would i need it?
Then i realised, id always venture out with makeup but then realised it was a bit too much just for the shops and i needed something for the pool and beach of course!
So i thought well, i want my skin to have a least something, maybe just foundation but it looks to fake i thought.
So i got a sample of this product before i bought it because it was a lot of money at the stores i was looking at but although beautyh have stated $13.95, so im not sure now! because that sounds like a good price.
I tried the sample and was happy with it, so i purchased it with a voucher i recieved which i got $3 off (woo!) and i love it!
I use it to go to the beach or pool, you dont want cake of makeup at the beach, you want to look natural and glowing.
It glides on and lasts forever, it covers my blemishes to a degree but.. not full coverage for me which is understandable
other then that it was perfect!

Average - Glosscars

I was lucky enough to receive a couple of samples of this cream a few weeks back. Overall I wasn't all that impressed because it didn't do everything it claimed to. It did really moisturise my skin so I was impressed in that instance. I tend to get blotchy skin and the occassional blemish and this cream really did nothing to correct that. After applying my skin was still visibly blotchy and blemishes just as noticeable as if I had not applied anything. The SPF is a great addition in the product and doesn't leave you with that heavy sunscreen feel which is a plus. What my main issue with the product was how my skin looked after applying. It makes your skin look REALLY dewy almost to the point of looking oily and shiny which I really really hated. A little bit does go along way with this product so I was able to give this product a really good go because I wanted to like it but overall I'm glad I didn't spend my money buying it because it definately didn't suit my skin.

light/medium?

I have both the light and the meduim, and usually medium matches me really well, but this one seemed really orange/tan/pink based so the light was alot better and didnt make me look like a oompa loompa.
For the coverage, this provides less than a TM, so beware if youre optinf for a foundation replacement. Its creamy and slightly oily but light on my skin and didnt aggrevate it at all. It smells natural and really light and the 50 mls is really a great amount because itll last me a while before i go off again looking for something new to interest me.

Tinted Moisturiser in Medium

Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector BB Cream comes in a flick up top squeeze tube. The tinted moisturiser in medium shade is easy to apply, I use a small amount on my skin applying more if I need to. I blend the cream evenly on my face and neck as well as blending into my hair and jawline. It soaks into my skin easily, does not feel sticky and I do not mind the smell of the BB cream.
The end result is a natural looking finish which is smooth and it is achieved instantly.
The daily all-in-one cream can be worn under make-up or on its own.
Mornings can sometimes be hectic and I am stretched for time, the BB cream has been a godsend, being multi-skilled, it is a great time saving product.
It addresses 5 skincare issues in one, hydration, even complexion, helps to correct blemishes, has SPF 15 UV filter and corrects sunspots all the while giving a healthy glow. Vitamin C and mineral pigments in the formula.
This is a fantastic tinted moisturiser and a great Blemish Balm Cream, I love BB.
Garnier is an excellent brand. A cream with rejuvenating functions, well I cannot go wrong.
Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector BB Cream can be purchased in Supermarkets and is Made in Germany.

Still loving my BB!

I first started using this cream in September all thanks to BH for allowing me to trial such a perfect product. I was pleasantly surprised when I first used this tinted moisturiser miracle cream of Garnier's as I had never used anything like it previously. I have fair skin so the lightest shade perfectly evened out my complexion, so natural and undetectable. My skin felt hydrated, smooth and protected. I definitely felt I had a healthy glow to my skin as I have a more dry complexion I can always tell when my skin looks dull. I am impressed by the new generation BB "Blemish Balm" phenomenon which is the fact that this cream can help calm, soothe and heal the skin. There is a unique mix of active ingredients - Vitamin C - anit-oxidant that boosts the skin's natural glow and radiance. Mineral Pigments - gives natural coverage, spreads evenly to give a flawless finish without the heaviness of foundation. SPF15 UV Filters - Protects the skin from the harmful effects of the sun. Lightweight, comfortable and smooths the skin to restore a healthy, natural glow. I have to say I was concerned that this tint would dry my skin out as I have dry skin already but it just wasn't the case at all. I am still in love with BB to this day and make sure I never run out. I even have my mum using it and every time she wears it she asks me to guess what she’s wearing!
I had also received the Medium tint so I had my sister try that shade and also for the fact that our skin types are totally different, she has combination skin and is only 20 whereas I am 33, dry and sensitive at times. This is her verdict: " You can hardly see my spots so that's really impressive. I have a really healthy glow to my skin and I look evened out, unlike when I wear foundation if I don't blend properly it looks obvious, this doesn't. I love the fact that it's treating my skin all day, minimising my blemishes, just treats everything I don't want on my skin. It's great for uni - pricewise - awesome, spf15 is just tops for going in between classes and I can still feel I look decent without wearing foundation if I choose not to. Best of all I don't get greasy, no shine at all ,feels totally comfortable, it's just brilliant. Best tint I have ever tried."
Thanks BH from both of us.

BB-beautiful skin

I am an avid user of tinted moisturisers because they are so easy and quick to apply when you have limited time to perfect your skin in the morning. I love multi-tasking products too, which usually means that I rate moisturisers that have an SPF already included. So this little gem by Garnier fits the bill as far as what I want in a product, all at a pretty affordable price too.
I have the fair shade, which suits my paler skin tone well. The squeezable tube with a flip-top lid allows for easy and no-fuss use. I have simply to squeeze out a blob about the size of a pea on to my hands, then apply to my face by blending outwards from the middle. The texture of the product is quite creamy, thick and rich, although it seems to spread rather easily when in contact with your skin - perhaps the heat of the skin allows it to be more viscose. I found blending to be a breeze, the colour of the product melted easily into my natural skintone, barely no effort required - which is what I like about a tinted moisturiser.
My skin looks radiant and flawless after applying this produt, imperfections like blemishes (don't get a lot of those thankfully) but also redness and pigmentation vanish underneath the sheer veil of this product. It leaves me with a dewy finish, which is pretty and helps my skin to look moisturised and with a healthy glow.
The only downfall of this otherwise perfect skin perfector is that it doesn't fare too well in the heat. Sydney has had a lot of humidity recently and I find that my skin sweats and the product seems to slide off quite easily. I try to rectify this by adding sme finishing powder over the top, which usually does the trick.
I'll definitely re-purchase this product, it is now a staple in my everyday makeup kit!

Won't buy again

I found this product very heavy, hard to blend in, and quite oily. Like other members, I had high hopes for the product, but it is certainly not for me. I have combination skin and the occasional blemish and the foundation didn't give me any coverage or look natural at all. On the plus side, it's cheap, so I'm not too fussed about not finishing the bottle!

Glosscar Review

I was really excited to try this product after the big hype over BB creams late last year. My first impression of this was how nice it smelt. I originally used it in place of a foundation but found the coverage was way too light for what I would usually wear. It really didn't cover any blemishes as a blemish balm should. I then resorted to using it as a primer as some other people had suggested. I found that during the day, it became slippery and my makeup wouldn't stay in place. One day I went for a walk and when I came home I literally had orange lines running down my chest from where my makeup had slid off! I really now have no use for it and have given it to my mum.

Glosscars Review 2012

This product promises 5 benefits.....
1. Hydrates for 24hrs
2. Evens tone
3. Corrects blemishes
4. Boosts healthy glow
5. UV Protection SPF 15

I have the product in the light shade and found that yo be perfect for my skin. I liked how a little goes a long way and it smooths out easily without major effort to blend. Simply smooth it on and its done. It gives me a look as if im not wearing any makeup but to touch my skin it does feel a little tacky. I do like this product but i feel that i would feel much better wearing it in the cooler winter weather as it doesnt seem to hold up well in the heat and i found on super hot day that i had a very shiny T section.
I didnt have any problem with the scent of the product at all.
I would say that this product is certainly worth a try but im not sure that i would say its an essential.
I like it but im not in love with it. Its ok.
Would i repurchase? Undecided at this stage and will see how it performs during the cooler months.

Miracle in a tube

Unless you have been living under a rock, or are a creature belonging to the male species you would have heard about Garnier's Miracle Skin Perfector or to be put more simply, BB cream.

Essentially BB creams, or blemish balm creams, are a Korean concept. They are supposed to be multi use products combining moisturization, anti ageing, concealing, mattifying properties, as well as giving you all the benefits of SPF and a tinted moisturizer... all in one!

Garnier's Miracle Skin Perfector BB cream comes in a simple, yet cute tube with a pop-top cap lid that is the perfect size for your handbag. It is available in two shades; light and medium.

There are a tonne of unique things about this cream. First of all, I use the light shade which is a really good shade match for my skin. The consistency is slightly thicker than other tinted moisturizers I have tried but it's super easy to blend out as it's incredibly silky and smooth.

The BB cream lasts me an entire day out of about 8 hours and makes sure my skin looks dewy throughout. I love the fact that it has an SPF, and yet still manages to photograph pretty well so thumbs up for that. It has quite sheer coverage though, I'd say low to medium. so if you're in the market for more coverage then look elsewhere.

Overall, Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector BB cream stays true to its claims of 5 benefits in 1 and is great in terms of being fast and simple to use. It's excellent for girls who are running late in the morning, keep one in your handbag for no-makeup / no-sunscreen / no-moisturizer emergencies!

It's ok

I love the idea of this product but the light is still a bit too dark for my skin. I have found through trial and error that the best way for me to use it is very lightly as a base under my foundation. I have to use a tiny amount or it is way too dark. When I use it this way it works quite well.

Miracle Skin Perfector - Amazing!

A friend recommended this product to me. I've been using it for about a week and I absolutely love it!
I would previously just use sunscreen on my face, as I need a moisturiser with UV protection. I didn't give any further thought than this to the product I would use.
I have noticed such a difference since I have started using this BB cream - my skin is softer, the colour inconsistencies in my skin are less noticeable, and I feel a lot more confident on those days I choose to venture into the world bare-faced, with no makeup.
What can I say? I really love this product!

Fabulous Product

I was at first sceptical of this product, all the claims I thought it was a little much and probably wouldnt come through with the goods.
I was shocked and so happy when it did!!!
The colour, texture, smell and feel of this product on my face is amazing and couldnt be nicer.
A little goes a long way so it is also great value.
My face is left smooth, gleaming and with a lovely covering not too heavy but still feeling like I am wearing makeup.
I have combination skin with the occasional pimples, this cream feels so nice and not at all heavy like its feeding the pimples like some creams do. I have used this non stop for two weeks using it every day and my skin looks amazing with comments from people at how lovely it looks. So happy I found this miracle cream....have since recommended to everyone I know!!! Thanks Garnier :)

Really disappointed

I was super excited about this product but sadly it didn't deliver what I was after.

I found the colour was too orange for my skin, even with a summer tan I could barely get away with wearing it. It also made my skin extremely oily, you could see the slick after about an hour of wear and I noticed I was breaking out after a few days of wear.

It's a shame really because I love the coverage, it's just right when you don't need a full face of foundation.

Average

After all the hype and great reviews, I was excited to try this product, and to be honest, I was a bit disappointed. The first day I tried it I used it without foundation, and after just one hour, my skin looked really oily and caked. I mixed it with my moisturiser the next day but still had the same problem. I have normal/combination skin, so maybe this will work if you have dry skin, but unfortunately it didn't work for me.

Absolutely AWESOME!

Ok, I have been looking for a tinted moisturiser that has a pretty good coverage but doesn't break me out that I can wear on the weekends and whenever I don't feel like looking 'made up' for a long LONG time so when I heard about this stuff I just had to give it a try .I bought the medium because I have naturally olive skin and HOPED that it would be the right colour for me (SOOO many things are way too light or just the wrong shade!) .. and it was perfect!! Like I mean it PERFECTLY matched my skin tone!! I must say that it does take a couple of minutes to sink in and its not a mattifying moisturiser so by the end of the day i am looking a teeny bit shiny but the main point here is it DOESNT MAKE ME BREAK OUT!! Which to me, is amazing. I bought this to use casually, but I am now wearing it to work every day with a touch of concealer and some translucent mineral powder over the top which gives me a 'dewy' NOT oily fiinish once my natural oil comes through. Its amazing. I might not call it a 'miracle', but it sure does the trick for me.

Love it!

I love wearing this on days I don't have time or don't find it necessary to wear makeup.
I use the light shade and have found its a close match to my skin colour. It applies smoothly and evenly and blends in well. This is the best tinted moisturiser I've used. It doesn't make my skin shiny but it still keeps it hydrated. I would use about a pea sized amount on my face and that would last me most of the day without touch ups. I've found it sets almost like a powder - not too shiny, oily etc.
It also has a decent amount of coverage compared to other moisturisers I've used so definitely a bargain product.

far from a miracle

I recieved a sample from Garnier in the shade light, I usually buy the lightest shade when I purchase foundation as a reference. Upon opening the sample the colour did not appear "too dark" but after application I did not notice any colour/glow on my face. The formula I really, really disliked. It feels extremely greasy and does a poor job at moisturisation in certain areas. I had to follow up with an extra normal moisturiser. I applied my usual foundation (cream based) onto my usual areas (eye area, nose area, any redness/pimples), in these areas I did not have any extra moisturiser on and the BB cream clearly did not sit well with my foundation. It was just too oily and my foundation did not adhere properly. Another area I'm not happy with is the simple fact of feel, I just have a sense of knowing something is covering my face, it does not feel breathable. I'm really dissappointed by the BB cream as I had high hopes but it did not beat, or come close to, my trusty tinted moisturiser. Will not purchase in full size.

Dissappointing

My local Priceline was having a closing down sale and the Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector was selling at a mere $9. I have rather dry skin from using benzyl peroxide for my mild acne, so when I read on the packaging that it's not only moisturising but provides a light level of coverage and corrects blemishes, I was instantly sold. I have used this product a few times now, and unfortunately I am quite underwhelmed. I have NC20 skin and I tried this BB cream in the medium shade, and perhaps the shade is a little too dark however the colour of the product is rather orange! It feels rather heavy on my skin and is also turns out incredibly shiny! After applying some mineral powder on top of this product, the orange and the shine is definitely reduced, however by the end of the day my blemishes are slightly irritated and I can't stand to have this on my skin a moment longer. I believe the name is misleading, and there is nothing miraculous about this product. This product claims to 'even complexion, correct blemishes and gives skin a healthy glow' and I feel it achieves none of the abovementioned claims.

Timesaving multitasker.

I've been using this for a month now and have had great results. The packaging is adequate, no product loss through bad design. On the skin the BB cream looks great, though only if applied using a sponge or brush, I found that applied using fingers there was an orange cakey looking powder left on my skin. I love that there's UV protection and my skin looks dewy luminescent, not oily and shiny.

Perfect for everyday

I was a little reluctant to try this because it claimed to do so much for such a low price, and because it only came in Light and Medium so I expected it wouldn't look right on me, but I bought one anyway because I needed a new tinted moisturiser for the summertime.

I was so impressed! It does almost everything it says it is going to: it moisturises, has SPF 15, a bit of coverage that evens out my skintone (doesn't cover up blemishes, but it is only light coverage) and gives me a really nice glow! Beause it isn't that pigmented, most people will find that either Light or Medium do fit them.

I found the Medium a tad bit dark, and I put in a tiny bit of my everyday moisturiser with it when I applied it and it was absolutely perfect.

I highly recommend not using a brush but using fingers to blend it in like a normal moisturiser, and to do it quickly, because it does set in almost as soon as you dab it on your face. It's not sticky, and lasted me almost all day after I dusted over a tiny amount of transcluscent powder.

I couldn't ask for anything more in a tinted moisturiser!

Just A Tinted Moisturier

I wasn't quite sure what to expect when I purchased this product as I have heard mixed reviews. I found that this product was basically a tinted moisturiser.

Packaging - I love the flip lid it makes dispensing the product very easy

Looks - nice and dewy & has slightly more coverage than the dove tinted moisturier I have been using. I haven't noticed any major changes to my skin since using. I like to use a powder blush or bronzed other wise my skin feels a bit too oily.

Color - I purchased both colors and I mix them depending on if I am wearing tan. The medium looks orange on my pale skin if I have no tan.

Smell - there is a slight smell however this doesn't bother me

a good start into introducing BB cream to Australia...

i tried it after hearing about BB cream in various Asian beauty sites but was hesistant to try something not from Australia. as the first BB cream targeted to Australians, it's a good concept but needs further refining- many BB creams available in Asia have various multiple qualities such as healing the skin and anti-aging properties, whereas this was a basic level BB cream, although a good start to introducing it to Australia. i felt it was a bit too shiny once applied, and the lack of skin colours available was disappointing- i got light on the hunch of the medium being too brown or orange (and i'm certainly not the lightest of skin colours- tanned south east Asian!) and the light was dark enough for me! i had to powder after application.

Works great

I bought this because I was going to be spending the day at the beach & didn't want to do the whole makeup thing. My skin in extremely sensitive & I can't use traditional sunscreen on my face so I rely on my skincare & makeup.

I used only this yesterday it went on smoothly, blended well & left me with a healthy glow. I am quite pale but the light was fine as long as you don't overdo it & blend well. It evened my skin tone a little but you could still see the imperfections. After a while my face was very shiny/greasy but it was a hot day too. I was impressed that I didn't get any sunburn on my face (I did on other areas of my body even with sunscreen on it).

I decided to use it again today instead of my normal foundation but used some concealer and powder on top as well as a little blush. It gives a very natural finish and has stopped the greasiness of yesterday. I put it on 7 hours ago & it still looks good which is a rarity so happy with that. I think in future I will always use this with powder.

Note: The name is a little misleading because this is not like a traditional BB cream and if that's what you want you maybe a little disappointed but as a tinted moisturiser it works well & is good value for money.

just like foundation!

After hearing so many reviews of the Garnier BB cream, i decided to give it a go. I bought the darker colour, which is a bit darker than my skintone and definately not orange. It does have a scent, i'd say it smells a bit like sunscreen, but nothing too strong. The first time i applied this, i applied it with my fingers and put too much on so it looked cakey.. Next time i tried it, i used a sponge and my skin looked flawless! The finish is really dewy, makes the skin look really healthy and glowy, the finish reminds me of MAC face and body (but the texture is definately thicker). I use loose powder over my forehead to set it, but i need to use blotting paper every couple of hours though. It is moisturising, but not like a normal moisturiser, it doesnt really sink into the skin. I do have oily skin, so i was expecting this to break me out but it didn't. The price is great too, so its worth giving a try- it might become a HG product, just like it did for me! I know i am probably in the minority, but i absolutely love it!

It helps to reduces redness give your skin a health glow and keeps it a hydrated feeling with out that oily type of feeling. The fact it has spf is amazing as well keeps your skin protected and also with the great anti oxidant vitamin C this helps prevent further break outs and has a color in there to give you confidence in your skin with out wearing make up !

Perfect for some

This product works really well for me and for some others too who have reviewed it but it's not always the right product for everyone. I have combination skin and find that this product does the job in moisturising my skin but can still be oily in my T-zone areas. I usually wear a primer which I find works wonders for my skin; if I don't I tend to break out! I wear foundation on top of my primer to even out skin tone and cover some blemishes and from that I dust my face with a powder to set my makeup and cover the shiny areas.
Saying that I actually expected this product to be slightly oily on my skin but I fixed it by doing the same thing as my normal makeup routine and dusted my face with some powder! :) I'm actually yet to find a product that won't look shiny on your skin as most products will have some sort of oil etc to make it liquid, smooth or creamy.
What I have found was that from wearing the product especially in summer, my face didn't feel so heavy with make up and clogged, it felt lighter and fresher and I noticed that my skin tone was evening out day by day. I don't wear sunscreen on my face as it makes it oily and break out so a slight SPF15 protection helps as one of the benefits of this product.

Over-rated +++

I waited patiently for this product to hit the shelves (yes, i live in a small, remote QLD town where EVERYTHING takes longer 2 get 2 us!) after reading all the hype about this miracle cream. Now I'm not sure if it's our humidity that affects the efficency of this product, or if it really isn't all that..! Like most BH reviews on this product, I also found it oily & "yes" I did apply it less liberally & still found my Tzone shiny. I honestly can't say anything positive about this product & I had such high hopes for it :(

much better than expected for the price

I read a few reviews and thought it was worth the try. I use the medium, and it does even out my redness, although it is a bit shiny when first on- either wait for a while until it absorbs properly, or use a light mineral powder to 'set' it.

Not a fan

There was so much hype about this product, so I couldn't wait to try it. I was able to secure a bottle from Garnier during one of their promotions.
Having never used a BB cream before I was curious. However, I found the product had very poor coverage when it came to redness. I have dry skin, but after applying it to my face, it felt sticky, so I had to set it with some powder. The BB cream didn't have good staying power, I noticed my redness increasingly showing through throughout the day. Finally, I found the product wasn't too kind to my sensitive skin. My skin tingled after application and when I removed it at the end of the day, my skin was a little irritated.
At first I thought all BB creams were similar, but after trying one from another brand, I have to conclude the Garnier BB cream isn't great unless you're after very light coverage and willing to set it with a good powder.

Not worth the hype.

I purchased this as soon as it hit the shelves and was really excited to use it. I was disappointed though. It is very thick and gluggy. I found it didn't blend well into my skin. It felt like it sat on top of my skin all day. I don't have oily skin but this made my skin look oily even with powder over the top. Whilst wearing this it felt like my skin couldn't breathe. I found it did not miracly make my skin look perfect. If anything it made me look orangey and I was using the Light on my pale skin. It also has a strong fragrance that didn't fade during the day.

It has already been put in the box of products I don't use and don't like. I must say it won't be coming out either until I throw it out. Really dissapointed.

OK.

I was soo excited when the BB Cream came out and i had entered a competition and won a sample of the BB Cream. When i first tried it at night, it looked great. It felt a bit oliy and smelt strongly of lemons.
When i had tried it the next day, i realised it was not the same colour of my skin. it was darker. i was half way between the medium and light shade. This wasn't as good as i thought it would be. It's much to heavy for everyday use and much too oily.

Love it, great for summer!!

This BB cream is amazing. It glides on so perfectly smooth. i find the colour is a little dark for me (in winter) but BB creams are better in summer anyway. I find this really evens out my skin tone, but looks completely natural.

SPF is an added bonus and great for Aussie weather!! I tend to use this on really hot, humid days because I don't want to wear a thick coat of foundation, obviously! or on days i'm feeling a little lazy! And i LOVE that it moisturizes at the same time!

All-in-all this is an amazing product. cheap, easy and amazing for hot summers days! Will definitely be re-purchasing!

Good tinted moisturiser

I was pretty excited when this product came out as it sounded like a fantastic idea and is at a nice accessible price.
Loved:
-easy, blendable colour that actually matched my skin (light)!!! I'm pretty fair skinned but have some pigmentation spots that make finding the right colour difficult.
- toned downed redness - on lazy days I feel I could just use this instead of foundation and it evened out my complexion quite well with just a little bit of spot concealing
-SPF - loved using this on holidays a few weeks ago instead of moisturiser+sunscreen+makeup which gets to be just a bit too much when you're trying to relax and stress less

Didnt love:
Smell - this stuff has an...interesting smell to it straight out of the tube which was a little off-putting. Seemed to go away quickly once applied.
Dry but greasy? - I dont know how to explain this properly. While it did moisturise, it didnt do a great job and my skin would still get a bit dry. While that was going on, after a few hours, it feels rather heavy on my face and sticky/greasy. I guess its sitting on top of the skin instead of being absorbed as much as moisturiser would be?
Did nothing for blemishes - I don't have a lot of blemishes, but I do get a few. I didn't see a noticeable difference using this compared to my regular moisturiser/foundation

Overall this isnt a bad product and I would probably buy again. The price is great. It's perfect for when you're being a bit lazy or don't want to go crazy with a full face of foundation but still want some coverage. It smells a bit funny and its not going to be great for anyone with really dry or oily skin types. Not the miracle it claims to be but definitely worth a try.

Great!

The cream has a thick, mousse-like texture and is very light on the skin.
I really like this product, it evens out my skin tone, reduces the appearances of blemishes (for me anyway) and leaves my skin with a healthy glow!
I am very pale and have been using it in light, at first I was worried it would be too dark for me but it blends in really well - as long as I don't apply too much (and you CAN apply too much).
The only downside is it can make skin a bit shiny, which I don't really mind, except for on my nose and T-zone, but thats nothing a little powder can't fix! Also I think that if you are prone to break-outs this product might just make that worse, so steer clear.

I'd heard a lot of positive press about BB creams recently, and thought this would be just right for summer. Unfortunately, the light shade is still too dark for me, my skin cannot tolerate the fragrance (which I found strong) and it made my face blotchy.

AMAZING!

My favourite new product. The medium shade is perfect for my skin. As I live in QLD I don't like wearing foundation to work; this is the perfect alternative. I have fairly even skin and find that it provides enough coverage unless I have a really noticable blemish. I pair with a lick of mascara and a swipe of blush and I'm good to go. My skin tends to get oily during they day so I do use blotting paper as I shine up under the BB cream. However I love it and will keep using this product for sure.

BB Cream

I was so estatic when this product came on the market and so keen to try it. Lucky for me Garnier gave plenty of opportunities to try out this product for free and I was so thrilled to win a full sized cream (one medium and one light) from a blog I regularly read.

I have acne prone skin so I was very keen to see what was so good about this new Blemish Balm that is taking the beauty world by storm. After trying it for about a week I was not so impressed.

I found the smell was overpowering and a bit off-putting. Also the formula itself is thick and greasy.- For acne skin this is a big no-no as we do not want to encourage breakouts.

The coverage was fairly average and a bit too heavy for everday use. I was very disappointed in this new product that everyone apparently loved.

I found what helped a little was applying a very lightweight foundation powder over the BB cream to help set it and take off some oiliness. I may not re-purchase this one but I would be very inteerested in seeing how other BB cream brands compare to this one from Garnier.

Great for daily use

I read a few blogs/reviews about this raving on how good it was. I was pleasantly impressed, I bought it on special but would not pay $13 for it, as I believe I can buy a foundation for this price. Its main attraction was that it had SP15 and also a bit of foundation. I don't notice a great deal of coverage, still need to use concealer and powder to set, but it is great for every day use.

Oily, made me break out!

Really liked this product to begin with because I'm a huge fan of sheer coverage and sun protection plus I need something that moisturises slightly...

But after a while I noticed it made me break out all over. Really strange because my facial cleanser and normal (untinted) moisturisers are by Garnier.

This product is super greasy so I need to wear it with a Napoleon mattifying primer and Maybelline no-shine powder on top but then it becomes really 'thick' looking.

The colours were also very orangey/dark even though I picked the 'light' shade, and didn't look right on my paler Asian skin.

It is very easy to blend and smells nice though, and very cheap.

So impressed with this product it lasts longer than other tinted moisturiser products I tried, my skin felt dewy and fresh. Liked the slight frangrance, it seemed to even my tone and give me all round improvement to my skin and Ive only used it for a little less than a week.

Natural Make-up Look with hidden benefits

The Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector BB Cream is my secret weapon in natural looking make-up. I have been searching for a long time for an everyday product that will offer coverage for fresh skin and hidden benefits. I use the medium colour and it looks natural but gives me a healthy complexion and feels so soft. I get so many compliments when I wear this.
I have noticed a big difference in my skin. Normally my skin dries and flakes during the day but with the Garnier BB cream my skin stays soft and smooth.

Definately need to set it!

I'm using this currently as an alterntive to foundation. I have been using it for 2 weeks now and I need to mix it with some foundation to get the right colour. The product is oily and you really need powder to set. I'm not noticing any great amount of difference in my skin tone and it doesnt have great staying power.

Leaves great even skin tone

I tried this after it claimed to be heaps of great things in one cream.
I used the light as I am quite pale. I used it after I put on my daily moisturizer and was quite greasy. I found it also was quite fragrant.
It works great as a lighter alternative to a liquid foundation rather as a tinted moisturiser as it quite heavy
and of course it has the SPF 15 in it.
Overall it's is a good as a light alternative to liquid foundation and works great under a pat of pressed powder.

I didn't buy this for the claims of perfect skin it offers, more for the light coverage. I use it as my everyday foundation as my skin doesn't need a lot of cover. I use it over my day moisturiser. I don't find it greasy, but gives a nice dewy finish. It makes my skin feel smooth and touchable. Its heavier than other tinted moisterisers I've used, which gives my face a better coverage. The light shade matches my fair skin perfectly. I am very happy to have found Garnier BB cream!

great alternative to foundation!

I bought this the minute after I saw the advert on tv and was pleasantly surprised by the coverage it provides, yet the consistency isn't thick or gluggy like a much heavier product (like some foundations). I bought the light one which at first was a little dark for my pale complexion but once it's fully blended in (especially around the jawline) it isn't noticable at all. I'd say I probably use this three or four times a week in place of my regular foundation and I like how matte it stays for hours on end. It's nice an hydrating too so it doesn't cake up in corners like make-up sometimes does!

Miracle cream for acne!

Ever since I started using Garnier's BB cream in 'light', I have noticed my face is less oily, I have less pimples appearing, and I am actually wearing sunscreen daily.

I love the fact I can even my skin tone, moisturise, sunscreen and get a bit of coverage all at once. I apply using a makeup sponge, and blend it in.

The one thing I don't like is the fragrance, it is fairly strong, but it does fade away fairly quickly. It looks oily going on, but after a few minutes it is gone, and I top with powder. I just blot away oil during the day if I have to, and re powder if I have to.

I finish with a dusting of powder, and my skin looks gorgeous, not bumpy and lumpy.

Loving it! I never used sunscreen daily, so now I can go in the sun without worrying. SPF30+ would be better, but SPF15 is better than what I was using before.

All in all, a great product at a great price.

Not terribly impressed as a "BB Cream"

I didn't like how this is marketed as a BB cream because it didn't have any of the healing properties that make a BB cream a BB cream. It just felt like a heavy tinted moisturiser and can get very oily and slide in the heat so I wouldn't recommend this to oily skin (I have combination and have problems at my T-zone).

I will start with the positives of this cream. The fragrance was nice and much more easily blendable than the Nivea tinted moisturiser. I purchased this in medium and unfortunately, found that it was too orange and dark for my skin colour. Maybe light would have been better but when swatched, I thought it would be too light and sheer. The medium colour made me look a bit muddy and in the heat, I could feel it was there, which I dislike.

I purchased a 15ml Skin79 Hot Pink BB cream. At first, when we were coming out of winter, the colour was perfect but as spring came through and now summer, my face became tanner. I was able to use this BB cream to darken it and I liked how wonderfully well that works!

Smooth great feeling moisturiser

The cream came in a fawn coloured squeeze bottle with a white cap that can sit nicely on it's own lid so that you never have trouble with getting product out of the tube.
When you open the tube and smell the product it has a very faint beauty product smell that is not overpowering at all.
A pea sized amount was enough to cover my entire face and it applied very easily, smoothly and was absorbed right into my skin leaving me with a nice non oily/shiny finish which I was very impressed with but with a definite feeling of hydration and suppleness.
It also definitely gives light foundation coverage without the heaviness that usually comes with foundation but my main problem is that the ‘light’ shade is way too dark for me and makes it look as if I am wearing a fake tan on my face which I do not like. So sadly I guess I will be passing this product onto someone else who can get away with this shade.

more like a tinted moisturiser

just want to start off saying i dont really see how this is a bb cream because it doesnt make any claims to help fade scars or control acne, only covers them which seems more like a tinted moisturiser, nevertheless..

i love this product. its so affordable and you get a lot more product that you usually would in a foundation. its a smooth creamy texture thats easy to work in and blends into my skin nicely. i havnet worn it on its own yet because the dewy finish is borderline shiny/oily so i always set it with a powder. with the powder it lasts all day but doenst transfer if you rub it

it evens out my complexion, hides the redness on my cheeks and around my nose but doesnt really do anything for my dark circles. i just use the garnier tinted eye roll on for that and it works great

its nice and moisturising which is a plus cuase winter has dried out my skin horribly

This product is not a BB cream

Whilst I don't really dislike the product itself, I do dislike the fact that it is making the claim to be a BB cream when it is really just a heavy tinted moisturiser. If you read the fine print, it does not really have any 'miraculous' properties, it is very similar to most other tinted moisturisers out there and if anything it is a little greasy.

I apply this with clean hands after cleansing, toning and using a serum (all other brands). It blends perfectly when using just your fingertips.

Pretty good!

I won two BB creams in a competition, one in each colour. I must use Medium but for me it's a pretty darn good match!
It's feel very light weight and is also very easy to blend into the skin. I find I have to set this with a powder or I will get a little shiny by the end of the day. As for transferring it only transfers a little, not a whole lot though.
It feels like I'm wearing nothing which I love.
It hasn't broken me out or made my skin bumpier than usual. In fact it feels quite smooth and "supple".
If it's hot it does tend to slide off a bit but I guess that's expected with anything in the insane heat.

I actually really recommend this, also my mother uses the light shade and her skin is the complete opposite of mine. And on her skin it has had only positive effects. So I think this is a pretty good product for most.

Love!!

I'm an NC30 and bought a medium and I thought it might be too dark. The shade suited my skin great! It kinda gave my skin a bronzed glow. The texture is smooth and super thick but it very easy to blend. Coverage is just right for everyday, between a tinted moisturiser and foundation. It doesn't feel heavy or anything and this was a great alternative to foundation. Of course, you would still need to use concealer because it's not gonna cover any blemishes or dark circles up. I use this in place of my moisturiser and because I find that it's hydrating enough. I think it's a little too oily for my combo skin but that's fine as I can just blot throughout the day. This stuff stays on a lot better than a tinted moisturiser. When I pat the blotting sheet on, normally a whole lot of colour would come off, but with this BB cream, it stays put! I also LOVE the scent - its a little strong - but its very pleasant. It would be the PERFECT product if it had SPF 30 and there was more of it! (the tube is quite small, but convenient). Overall, I love this stuff and I don't think I will be going back to tinted moisturises for a while!

Great for everyday use!

This is my first BB cream and I'm loving it! I got it from Coles for $13 and I've used it everyday since. I find it's good to put on in the morning and then if you're going out again at night, just apply another layer. I have pale combination skin, but the cream is so sheer it can be a bit dark and no one will notice. I love the SPF and the fact that although it looks dewy on my skin, it hasn't broken me out and it doesn't highlight any oil on my face. However, I have to use concealer under it for any blemishes or dark circles. It's the first cream I've used that really blends into my skin tone and makes me feel like I'm not wearing anything! Everyone has been complimenting me on my good skin lately and it's all down to this fantastic BB cream. Will definately repurchase but I only have to use a small amount everyday. I know it's my first BB cream but I just can't see myself buying anything else!

Really, really good

I have combination skin and uneven skin tone. I also have quite tanned skin and so bought the medium shade. The first thing i noticed is that is blends into my skin colour...which i didn't expect because my forehead is a few shades darker than the rest of my face. It absolutely evened the skin tone out which is a real issue for me. In terms of oiliness..it didn't make my skin oily but certainly didn't leave it matte. I think thats what makes it ideal for me to use during the day because it looks the way skin should; with some dewiness. Towards the end of the day (7hours later) my oil did start to come through but it still kept the evenness of tone and the actual colour of the product did not change. I just used a tissue to blot away the oil thoroughly and put some powder over the top. Good as new. The ONLY reasons i don't give it 5 stars is due to the fact that i would personally never use something this chemically laden on a daily basis, also, SPF of 30+ would be more ideal. Having said that, I am not at all disappointed in this product- actually pleasantly surprise.

- made my nose shiny within a few hours, and didn't feel like it hydrated the rest of my face well enough; felt a bit greasy overall
- didn't quite cover enough
- I think it made me break out a little bit (but difficult to tell)

Not all it's cracked up to be.

I read all the positive reviews on here over the past few days, so I went to buy some. When I applied it in the morning, I was not happy with how it looked on my skin, I have pale skin and freckles and although it was the light shade and it seemed to match ok, I thought it made my skin look 'dirty'. This may just because my freckles made it obvious that I had 'something on but not enough'. Texture wise, it absorbed into my skin very quickly, which was a good thing. It did give a nice golden glow, but the lack of coverage still stood out more than the nice glow. So no thank you, not for me.

Unimpressed and underwhelmed

After using this product I have realised that there is no "miracle" product that can do it all.First off It smells amazing but it doesnt cover blemishes at all. It also has very limited shades. However I liked the fact it has SPF protection and is more natural than most other products on the market right now.

Happy Chappy!

After seeing the reviews from the trail team, I had to try it as it had all the elements of what my skin needed. The light was the only colour they had left as I open the lid I found it had a beautiful texture and glided onto my skin, thinking it was a foundation the coverage was not as thick as I am use to but reading the instructions it was more of a day cream with a hint of makeup.
In using this for a week I found my skin hydrated an overall glow which felt good and looked good.

OMG - Fantastic!!!

I am in LOVE! This cream/foundation is amazing. Glides on really well, is not oily, but leaves a beautiful dewy finish to your skin. Covers really well but also lets your skin shine through. I have sensitive skin and this did not break me out. I use the medium. I will be stocking up on this.

great smelling product

I love this product. I don't use foundation but this product is more than just foundation and it feels light on your skin so I'm quite happy to wear it. It's very easy to apply and it gives my face a nice healthy glow. You only need to use a small amount so it should last me a while. I don't have major skin problems so I don't know how it works for people who do but it makes my skin look and feel great. This is definitely one of my favourite moisturisers and I will keep using it.
I only just tried it out today so I will have to see how it works over time but so far I'm very impressed.

My very first BB cream & I'm impressed

I decided to get this after all the adverts I saw about it and even had to go out searching for it because it was sold out at my local Priceline!
I bought it in the light shade and I am lucky that it matches my skin tone perfectly. I also have pretty good skin with the occasional pimple so for me this cream provides perfect coverage. It also evened out my complexion which I really like so there is no need to apply foundation over the top.

I love the way that this cream smells and it is nice and thick. I also like that it is very moisturising and when I set it with a bit of powder, it lasts all day without melting away.
I think this is a perfect product for summer although I would have preferred for it to have been a higher SPF as I feel that 15 is too low especially in Australia. Thats why I give it 4 stars and not 5.

I also have pretty sensitive skin and this cream did not cause me any breakouts whatsoever so I will definitely be purchasing it again.

I went out today and bought this and it definately does a great job of evening out skintone but coz my skin is quite oily it makes my skin really greasy after a few hours. I just dont like that feeling of greasiness on my skin. But overall it seemed to make my skin look pretty fresh and luminous.

I like the way it evened out my skin colouring the best. It did that really well. The only flaw I found was that I could still see a few of my pores. But with the light and medium mixed together that colour for my skin was perfect. Its lightweight on your skin and does make quite a big difference in how smooth and flawless your skin looks.

Eh, not terribly impressed

I have this in both the light and medium, and it's simply okay. Nothing fantastic, but not the worst face product I've ever tried. They impart a decent amount of coverage and I can build up colour, but this comes at the expense of a nice finish. A sheer layer leaves me with a greasy shine, to the point where I look like I've smothered my face in Vaseline!.So as you can imagine, layering it on to add more coverage just makes me look even shinier! I can counteract this by packing on the powder to set it, but it's a bit of a fuss.

It does feel lovely and light on the skin, I'll give it that. But unfortunately this means it just slides off whenever I start to perspire in the slightest. I'd been using a Missha BB cream (Asian brand) and that has a thicker texture and hardly budges when I sweat, but both Garnier shades instantly start sliding around my face in the heat. It's mostly a problem on my chin which is unfortunately where I need the most coverage. It looks like I have a beige-y milky substance floating around on the skin. :| Not pretty.

Works well, with very light coverage.

If you're thinking of buying this, don't expect phenomenal coverage, as it has very little coverage but it does work well to even out skin-tone, if your skin is a little patchy. It's really lightweight, feels like a light moisturiser or sunblock, however i did find it a little oily upon application, but it goes away after 20 minutes or so.

Super Hydrating Skin Perfector

Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector BB Cream is a 5 in 1 multi-tasking, skin care, moisturiser and make up in one.
I was eager to try this cream due to all the positive reviews and current publicity. The cream comes in an easy to use flip top tube for $13.95. It comes in two colors....Light and Medium. The cream is a good consistency, not too heavy, very pleasant scent, and a little goes a long way.. I have very fair skin so I picked the Light color which appeared to really suit my skin. It was easy to apply and absorbed really well.
Garnier's Miracle Skin Perfector BB Cream contains Vitamin C and mineral pigments which assist in providing excellent hydration and it also has SPF 15 for UV protection. I loved the feel of the cream on my skin and found that it was easy to blend in. My skin felt as if I had applied a really good moisturiser. It certainly does even out skin tone but I still needed to use a small amount of concealer under my eyes. The cream did give my face a rather healthy glow. I was really impressed with the overall result. The only negative I have is that I would prefer a higher SPF rating. For the price it is a must have and I certainly will be purchasing the cream again.

Show off your natural beauty

What a great product! I've never liked tinted moisturisers, like mineral foundations they've never provided enough coverage to my red blotchy skin and end up making my skin look dirty. The first time I used this I wasn't happy but I tried it again and I'm converted. The coverage is light but I love the surge of moisture it provides my skin and the healthy dewy finish. I've gone from wearing no makeup to wearing this daily to work. It has a thick consistency which blends easily and prevents wastage. It lasts all day, my only concern is that the light shade is a bit dark for my light yet not white skin. I think they need more shades to provide something for everyone. I hope that young women start using products like this rather than hide their beautiful skin behind thick makeup.

Didn't go the distance

In texture and (initial) coverage, this cream sits somewhere in between a tinted moisturiser and a foundation. It's smooth and applies easily, and has a faint floral scent that disappears quickly. I tried the light and the medium, but the medium was far too dark for me.
At first I loved the coverage - it didn't feel 'masky' like a foundation, but it still smoothed and evened out my skin and definitely toned down the redness in my cheeks. It was like wearing a medium coverage foundation that didn't feel like a foundation. However, half an hour later it was gone. Completely! As the girl next to me at work said, it looked like I wasn't wearing any makeup at all... and not in the good way where you've spent hours doing that 'no makeup' makeup look. In the way that looks like you got up late and bolted out the door after barely running a face washer over yourself.
I was really disappointed because I thought I'd finally found a happy medium between foundations (which I find too heavy in Summer) and tinted moisturisers (which don't give me enough coverage over the redness in my face).
Aside from that, it broke me out in pimples. I last wore this on Monday - it's now Saturday and I still have a pimple on my chin! My teenage daughter tried it and it did the same thing to her.
This product interested me enough to try some more BB creams, as I've never used any before, but I definitely won't be repurchasing this one.

Jury still out on BB

I was keen to try Miracle Skin Protector and discovered many stores to be sold out. Picked up through a Coles introductory offer of $9.95.
Firstly I think the color range is a bit too limited as neither really matched my skin tone, which was dissapointing.
Trying to blend the medium shade with my skin meant that I used little if the product to begin with.
However coverage appeared ok and was taken up well.
The BB miracle skin protector did feel greasy close to the end of the day. This was slightly irritating as the dewy look came out from under the fresh matte look achieved earlier in the day.

The tube is a great size, neat for any handbag especially if reapplication is required. The packaging was appealing to the eye, however I would have preferred tips for achieving best results (ie used with concealer). The 15+ rating is good, however if a 30+ BB cream became available (of which there are 30+ products available) it would be much more appealing.

Overall the miracle skin protector does a great job but I am yet to see it live up to its name by reducing sun spots & freckles. It does give a more even complexion so I would love to trial this product more if other shades became available or even a tube which you could customize the shade to suit your skin tone or specific region you are applying.

Perfect Day Wear!

Well its not everyday that I absolutely fall in love with a product but the first day that I used this Tinted moisturiser, well that was it, the rest was history, I have finally found my most favourite day cream, that one, not only helps me fight the suns damaging rays, but it evens out my redness, covers slight blemishes and pigmentation on my face and most of all I don't even need to look at a foundation for the day. How wonderful is that! I jump out of the shower and can't wait to apply this BB cream as I know I am going to be extremely happy with the end result, A little mascara and Gloss to finish and my day wear make-up is done, so appealing since I have kids and don't need to spend a lot of time in front of the mirror to get ready. A non expensive cream moisturiser that works well, how could anybody pass that by!

Wow!!

When I seen the add for this on TV, I didn't stop thinking about having to get some. I was a little unsure which shade would best suit me with summer around the corner but I took the safe option and went with light. Lucky cos it suits for now. I was also a little unsure as to how good the coverage would be as opposed to a foundation. Well for summer its perfect, I like a more natural look and this is great. First application I thought it felt a little weird, really silky although it looked like it was kind if a thick cream. I love how much more even my skin looks without the caked on makeup feel. And whats even better is that I haven't had any new breakouts from this product so it means its not irritating my sensitive skin, and that is not easy to come by. Compared to regular tinted moisturisers that Ive tried this wins hands down. I will definately keep buying.

phenomenal

Words can not describe how much I love this product. this BB cream is my new beauty essential. I recently tried this cream in the light shade and it just suits my skintone so well.

his little beauty product comes in a little tube which would be perfect size for traveling. I found the packaging on this product to be quite attractive and nice too look at.

The formula of this product is quite thick and it resembles a very thick creamy foundation. but once applied to the skin it is very light and you can't feel that you are wearing it.

The shade of this cream really suits my skintone as it does not make me look pale but not orange either it gives me just the right colour. I found the coverage to be quite good, i would say it was light too medium coverage. this product is great for hiding redness or uneven skintone and would be great during the summer months when you want minimal makeup.

It is also great as a base for your foundation if you are after a heavier coverage. when i am going out and want a lot of coverage I apply my foundation over this bb cream and i have noticed i get a very smooth canvas and my foundation lasts longer.

it is also so easy too wash off it just comes off with warm water and leaves no residue behind.

I found this product too be quite hydrating and it does not cause me to break out in pimples. I love that this is such great product and so reasonably priced.

The perfect BB cream for me !!!

First of all this product exceeded all my expectations....I have quite dark skin with a golden undertone(NC 44) and my skin is oily.It is almost impossible for me to find a drugstore foundation/tinted moisturiser, the only foundation i have used is mac and i find it too heavy for everyday wear...i tried the nivea young tinted moisuriser because it says it will adapt to my skin tone,...but it only left a greyish pink mask like cast on my face.After all this when i heard about the garnier bb cream i didnt have much hope but had to try......got it for $9 at target.(Priceline had run out of it.)
Pros:
The consistency was not too thin nor thick,just the right consistency.
The shade "medium" suited my golden warm skin tone well.
I have oily skin but after application there was a matte look.
My face looked dewy and fresh.
I didnt have acne or scars so i cant comment on coverage - gave me a sheer coverage- good for everyday wear.
The scent was the typical "garnier scent" Im not too fond of it but i can live with it .

Cons:
I wanted something which had atleast had spf 15 broad spectrum. I dount know whether this has broad spectrum.It only says spf 15 uv protection.

i had a much better experience with this bb cream than the free sample i received from etude house while i was in singapore. that one was much too light for my skin and made it so flaky. i was planning to buy it in the medium shade, but my friends told me other wise so i bought the light one.
it doesnt cover my redness and blemishes aswell as i thought it would, im not sure if it was the shade being to light or the bb cream its self. but its does moisturise well and doesnt make my skin feel dry. it is very light and the fragrance is pleasant. i havent seen many of the benefits pf this bb cream because i dont think ive been using it long enough. im not sure if i will buy this again, i will see how it goes for a few more tries.

Perfect for dry skin!!

Thanks to Garnier for allowing me to trial “Miracle Skin Perfector BB cream." I was very excited to trial this new product. I'm using it daily for last two weeks, and really impressed. I was given two shades of cream, and I chose to trial with the medium shades closest to my skin tone. The cream is smooth textured, creamy consistency and gets absorbed into the skin very easily. I took a blob of cream and just tapped all over my face and spread evenly out with my fingers. When I first applied this cream, I felt little greasy on my skin, but it settles after few minutes. To minimize the shine/greasy feel, I applied powder on the top to set it for the whole day. The cream gives more or less a dewy finish, which I do like a lot. The formulation of the cream is extremely moisturizing for my dry skin and reduces the visibility of pores. It covers blemishes and any imperfection partly on my skin, and I’m happy with the level of coverage, and it’s around what I would wear daily, and SPF15 is an added advantage. The cream comes in a squeezable tube with a flip-top lid containing the generous amount of product. The price is reasonable for a supermarket brand with loads of benefits. Overall, I love the Garnier BB cream which is perfect for my dry skin with good moisturizing formulations with added benefits. I’m really impressed with the results, and I would happily repurchase.

The BB cream has more of a foundation consistency than a tinted moisturiser, and gives great coverage for those days that you don't want to wear much make-up. At the end of the day, my skin doesn't feel greasy or look shiny - an absolute win as some tinted moisturisers seem to have this affect on me. Definitely a summer staple, would be absolutely perfect if it had SPF 30.

Better looking skin in a snap

I received the Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector BB Cream (in both Light & Medium shades) to trial for the Trial Team. At first I was a little confused as to what 'BB cream' actually was, but quickly learned that it is basically a tinted moisturiser with SPF that makes your skin appear more even and 'flawless'.

I have been wearing Light during the day for work and whilst I can't really say that my skin looks flawless (I would literally need a miracle for that!), I was quite pleased with the product. It has a lovely light fragrance, a nice consistency and the Light shade matches my skin fairly well. When I wear it as a base with my Laura Mercier concealer, some blush, mascara and some translucent powder (this cream tends to give my combo/oily skin the greasies, uh oh), I look pretty decent and my skin does look more even.

As far as tinted moisturisers go, this is quite a nice one. I feel safe in saying that it hasn't caused my skin to break out, which many tinted moisturisers tend to do. It would be so much better if it had a higher SPF rating though as SPF 15 is not nearly enough protection for Sydney girls like me!

Sweet BB Treat

I really like this simple and effective product, I happened upon it at Coles as a 'new item' and I had heard of BB creams but had only tried one once before (A Red Earth one, and it was wayyy too thick) and was eager to try the Garnier one, as I'm a fan of their moisturisers. The great thing about this product, is that it's a bit lighter than foundation, but adds more coverage than normal tinted moisturisers. I'm probably torn between this BB cream, and Dove's tinted moisturiser, but this definitely has a better coverage. I have combination skin, and I didn't find it heavy or greasy at all. I've been wearing it instead of make-up and I've found it lasts nicely for everyday wear, but I would probably use a heavier coverage for the evening.

Love that Glow!

First of all, I love the fresh, fruit smell of the Miracle Skin Perfector All-In-One Moisturiser from Garnier. The consistency, to me, seemed a little thin, but it applied easily and blended well. I only used a small amount at a time and had to blend the product really well because, being very fair, the 'Light' shade was slightly too dark, however this wasn't really noticeable if I used it in the method I described. I loved the glowy complexion this gave me, and it really evened out my skin tone. My face looked glowing and healthy. However, it didn't completely cover red spots and blemishes, so I still had to use concealer over these. But I would have done that anyway with my normal foundation, so that didn't really bother me. I don't mind the packaging except that I did notice when I opened the lid to use this each day, there was a dry crusty bit on top that I had to wipe away to get to the fresh product. Overall, I am impressed with this 'BB Cream' and the results it gave me. If there was one thing I think Garnier could improve on it would be the range of shades. I would have loved to see more than two, an Ivory one would have been ideal, so I could truly see what it looks like when its my perfect shade.

Great for dry skin. Not for oily skin.

Despite having mature skin, I found the cream a little shiny and greasy for all day use. By afternoon my Tbar section was shiny and needed blotting. On young blemish prone skin I feel it would cause breakouts. I was disappointed because the medium colour was perfect. It might be worth a try in winter.

Great all in one product

I like that this comes in a squeeze tube, easy to get the product out. I have been using the light shade and as I am very fair, this is just a tad dark but can still get away with it if blended really well.

The texture of this cream is a thick gel like consistency when applied, feel soft, smooth and absorbs into the skin quickly.
It instantly gives me a feeling of hydration, smooth and fresh/glowy skin. It covers my redness well and evens out the skin tone.

It doesn't cover my blemishes, so a concealer or foundation fixes that.

I have combination skin, so on my t zone it does look shiny but with powder on top it is fine.

It is long wearing and great for those days when I don't want to use full foundation.

The spf 15 is great, would have loved it to have spf 30.

Overall it is a great all in one product - great for days where I have no time or just want 'something' on my face that is lightweight yet gives me a fresh look.

Quick and Easy

I only recieved my product for the trial yesterday so I wanted to give it a couple of tries before writing my review. I found it light weight easy to apply and made my skin look instantly refreshed. I am a very busy women and anything that will save me time in the morning and covers all the bases is my kind of product.Packaging is nice and easy to pop into your bag and would be great for travel also.I will have to wait and see what it does for my skin long term but so far I am impressed.I am off on my honeymoon in a week and will definatly be taking the ganier miracle light (which was the perfect colour ) with me for sure.

Multi-tasking fruity BB cream

So far I have been using this product for a week, since the day I was sent it to trial. Firstly, the packaging is in a small, sleek gold/bronzed 50ml tube, perfect size for chucking into your handbag for touch ups during the day, or for travelling. The features promised by this cream are that it will work as both skincare and makeup, by offering 24hr hydration and added Vitamin C, evening out your skintone with a touch of mineral pigments, and has an oil-free, non-comedogenic base while still maintaining an SPF of 15. All good things for me, as I do prefer a lighter base, and my sensitive skin needs something that won’t irritate it, while still protecting it from the harsh Australian sun.

Luckily I was sent both the light and medium versions of Garnier’s take on the BB cream phenomenon, as neither were an exact match for my skintone. By mixing the two versions, I was able to create a better match for my skintone (which is more medium than light at the moment, but with a pink undertone), however it was still slightly too orange for me once blended into my skin, as compared to my normal foundation mixed with moisturiser combination I use. So how do you use this, I hear you asking? Well, after applying my moisturiser (Clinique Moisture Surge), I let that absorb for about 5mins, then apply the Garnier BB cream to my skin, blending well around my jawline to avoid unsightly lines. As this cream does definitely contain a tint, it is best to treat it as a light foundation, and buy the version that is better suited to your skintone (light for light skin, etc), and not think that it will just magically blend into any skintone, it has too much pigmentation for that. After about 5 more mins, I then apply my MAC MSF Natural, in order to give a mattifying effect and also to blend the colour to match my skin more. For an oil-free cream, this is very emollient, and gives a bit of a greasy effect after application (and I have very dry skin!). This may be down to the SPF I think. I definitely still need to moisturise before applying though, as I tried without doing this step one day, and I had dry flakey patches around my nose by lunchtime. By the time I arrive at work in the morning, this has settled into my skin a bit more, and does give enough coverage for me, although it is a little too glowy and almost greasy. It has a quite strong fruity scent as well which does tend to linger. If you are sensitive to scent, as I am, you will most likely notice this, but it does go away after about an hour.

I do like some aspects of this cream, but unfortunately I will most likely not keep using it now the trial has finished, as the colour does not match my skintone enough, and I can notice a distinct difference between the skin on my face, and the rest of my body after using this, which isn’t a great look! I also find it a bit greasy feeling (and looking by the end of the day), and prefer to use a non-greasy sunscreen under my normal homemade tinted moisturiser. I would definitely recommend trying this out on your face before purchasing to make sure it matches your skin tone and doesn’t look too greasy, and if it looks good – go for it!! It is at a great price-point and another plus is that it hasn’t broken my sensitive, reactive skin out at all, and I think it would work well for some people, just unfortunately not me in this case.

Fantastic tinted number

I have been looking for a tinted moisturiser but haven't been able to find one that suits my skin colour. I was so happy to be a part of the Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector trial which is inspired by the BB creams that were originally developed in Korea. Wouldn't it be great to have the complexion of a Korean movie star, they are simply flawless!

The fact that this cream comes in a few different shades is great, I was given two shades: the light and medium. My skin is quite fair so it was easy to rub in the 'light' version, but even trying on the 'medium' cream it gave me a healthy sun-kissed look. Like I was wearing bronzer, I'm glad it didn't turn out orange, it blended in so well. My skin was instantly moisturised and hydrated, and the packaging says '24hr moisturising results' and this I believe to be true. I have normal skin, and this did not feel greasy at all, even throughout the day my skin felt comfortable. It was quite light and airy when applied to the face.

The packaging is gorgeous, like a metallic beige coloured tube, it is small and neat and has a flip top cap. I would replace this cream with my current moisturiser because I like the mineral pigments, I don't like wearing foundations which are often too oily, cause my skin to breakout and my skin can't breathe. With this product I feel confident about how my skin will be at the end of the day.

I only used it for one week, so I couldn't see that it reduced any of my sunspots, freckles or imperfections. But I will continue to use it to see if this is true. Definitely evens out my complexion and brightens my dull skin.

Great one step product

Thanks to BH and Garnier for allowing me to trial the new Skin Perfector BB Cream. I have used this product each morning since receiving it last week in the colour "medium". The cream comes in a simple beige tube containing 50mls of product and is a great size for travelling.I only needed to squirt out approximately a 1cm line of product to give all over coverage to my face.
The cream smells fresh and floral with no obvious sunscreen scent. The BB cream is easy to apply, absorbs quickly with no greasy residue and feels lightweight on my skin. My skin had a healthy glow after applying, whilst not looking like I had makeup on. While it did not eliminate my pigmentation, skin redness etc, it diminished their appearance. I can see this being a bargain summer staple for me. Will definitely purchase in the future.

Trial Team

I've never tried a BB cream before, so I was really interested to see what this product would be like. Although it has a list of benefits as long as your arm, none of them seem to be related to "blemishes"? Anyway, it does provide spf, is quite hydating and provides reasonably good coverage. I only need to use a tiny amount (it is quite pigmented), so it will last for quite some time. It comes in a 50ml tube, which makes it easy to dispense and safe to throw into my make up bag.
Initially, it feels a little "sunscreeny", with a tacky finish, but it set after a couple of minutes to a more matte finish. However, by the end of the day it gets a bit shiny through my oily t zone. I have been using it in the "light" shade - it also comes in "medium". I have fairly pale skin but the "light" shade was a little dark for my liking, so I would not recommend it to anyone with very fair skin. I also would not recommend it to anyone with oily skin, as it is a little bit heavy and greasy.
Overall it is a good product for anyone wanting a multi tasker with heavier coverage than a tinted moisturiser.

classic Garnier scent

Miracle skin perfector, im not convinced it was a miracle , at least not for me .
The tube is squeeze so your pretty much guaranteed to get every last bit out of the tube , i have found with trialing the two tints , light and medium , using less is best . Which allows you to build up some even coverage .
Garnier creams seem to have a distinct smell to me, almost like a sweet green tea , which is long lasting with this moisturiser and whilst its not unpleasant i prefer my moisturiser for my face to be un scented , or at least for it to disappear after application.
This moisturiser had an almost 'mousse' texture to it , very light and didn't feel too greasy. Long term im not sure this product is best for my skin as its prone to breakouts.

Makes my dry/combination skin actually smooth!

I have been using the Garnier Miracle skin Perfector all in one BB cream since it arrived on my doorstep for trial. Although it has the BB cream name from what I gather its more inspired by BB creams than actually being one. It doesn't contain skin lightening ingredients and the SPF is lower. With that being said I was almost instantly impressed! It builds up for more coverage quite well without looking flaky or dry. The scent is a a lovely floral, it contains vitamin c and does help even out my complexion. Using this and an under eye concealer I have had great results. I've given the product a 4 out of 5 stars because I feel that for it to be perfect it could have a higher SPF, maybe a little more coverage and it is only available in two shades light and medium. For reference I'm between a Mac NW20-NW25 and the light is perfect for me.

Pleasantly Surprised

I received Garnier's BB cream to trial as part of the trial team.
The creamy consistency of this BB cream glides on smoothly and evenly to reveal An even complexion and glow.
I love the fact that it has an SPF 15 to aid in sun protection as well as being mineral based with vitamin c.
I was pleasantly surprised as I wasn't expecting much coverage. I still used a dab of concealer on a pesky spot, but was otherwise impressed with the way my skin appeared virtually flawless.
Originally I was expecting to use this product as more of a primer, however it left my skin feeling smooth and matte yet hydrated covering adequately I didn't need foundation.
This product performs exceptionally well, lasting all day.
This product could easily be compared to high end TM's costing 4-5 times the tiny price this one retails for.

Wonder Miracle

The packaging is cute and with lot of info about the cream.
Great price for the product and you need to squeeze a little amount of BB cream for the whole face. Gives perfect coverage and hides all the imperfections brilliantly. Smitten by it. The best factor is SPF- protection against the sun. Saves time as in one tube tinted moisturizing cream with SPF. The smell is sweet and summery. It is absorbed by the skin beautifully and gives a natural look. easy to carry in the bag and easy to use as glides absolutely in the skin without giving any stick feeling. It makes me feel very fresh and covers up skin imperfections like blemishes without of being using concealer.

Not for oily skin, low coverage, but great to apply

As a long time user of Korean brands of BB cream I was really excited to be a part of this trial, despite never having personal success with Garnier products in the past.

I'll start with the good points.
The BB cream has a nice fresh fragrance and is easy to apply, if a little watery compared to other BB creams. As a result the coverage is quite sheer, but it evens skin tone quite well. The colour choices are fantastic. I have porcelain skin so I have difficulty finding tinted moisturisers that aren't too yellow for my skin. The Light option was a good match for my neutral skintone. The Medium option was too dark for me for the trial, but matched my mother's darker skin and gave it a nice glow. As others have said, the tube is a generous size and easy to control how much is squeezed, while still being a great option for traveling.

However, the Garnier BB cream wasn't for me. Within only a couple of hours it made my face very greasy in texture and comfort. Granted I live in a humid area, I tested the cream in AC, outdoors, with and without moisturiser underneath and with and without powder, but I found myself on all occasions desperately wanting to remove it. The cream actually stayed put really well (unlike foundations that melt), but my skin was just too slick while wearing it... and I don't have oily skin! I also developed a couple of pimples on my chin while wearing it.

I am a long time user of tinted moisturisers and BB creams from a number of brands and in my opinion, or at least for my skin, the Garnier formulation didn't add up. Other TMs and BBs have much higher SPF and coverage without the slick. The remainder of both the Light and Medium tubes I have from the trial are going to elderly relatives as my Mum found the exact same thing and she has a totally different skin type.

I hate to be so harsh but the Garnier BB cream is a great concept, but not quite on par with what is already out there.
