This is a lovely, thin watery consistency BB cream. It has a nice scent to it. It has decent coverage. The shade range is absolutely garbage (THIS COUNTRY IS MOSTLY MADE UP OF DARK SKINNED PEOPLE AT LEAST CATER FOR US). It often goes bad before the recommended expiry date and if you use it for close to that amount of time, you will break out BADLY. Just use it for max half the time the packaging says.
This is my favourite bb cream, I use it almost daily. I much prefer this to any of their other bb creams.
Light consistency.
Good coverage.
Can be applied with fingers/brush/sponge.
Applies easily.
Somewhat buildable.
Combats oily areas.
Long wearing.
As a student I try to keep my beauty products cheap but effective, after trying this product, I would say it does it's job quite well.
It's cheap and good to use on a daily basis, my only complaint is that I wish it came in more shades that catered for Indian skin.
The product is very light and doesn't leave your skin feeling clogged and heavy. This BB cream also does not have a white, powdery finish which makes it suitable for people on the go and who don't have the time and money to be buying products to apply after.
I use the Garnier BB cream, Combination to Oily skin in Medium over a light moisturizer. Personally, one coat is sufficient and provides adequate coverage leaving skin looking natural, however if you need more coverage, two applications should do the trick. This product lasts throughout the day and removing it is as easy as putting it on, simply wipe away with a make up remover pad or tissue, a quick wash with your favorite face wash and you're back to fresh, clean skin
Great value for money and perfect for an every day, natural look. Simply pair with lip gloss and mascara for a flawless, effortless look!
I have been using this product for over a year now, and its my absolute go-to product, for price and effectiveness. I have tried the likes of Bobbi Brown and Smashbox BB Creams and in my opinion this one beats them. One: because its literally a quarter of the price of the others and two: because I love its light formula, it lets my skin still breathe.
I find the light coverage suits me perfectly, especially during a hot Durban summer when you really don't want too much stuff on your face. I just put this on with a light dusting of bronzing powder and voila! good to go!
The only downside is it maybe doesn't last the whole day as well as the more expensive brands, but the pro's still outweigh the cons in my opinion.
I have been using this product for a couple of months now and although I thought I would not like it (as most products that claim to be specially made for oily skin usually does not do the job) I am really loving the product!
I have a combination skin with my T-pane becoming very oily during the day, and my cheeks start showing large pores as the day goes by. I was used to much more coverage but decided to go the way of a more shear look and this BB cream really did the trick. Previously I had used the BB cream from Garnier for normal skin, but the one especially made for oily skin is really good. Look, you will find some excess oil as the day goes by, but nothing that a bit of powder or a quick blot won't fix. Another thing to remember, this is a BB cream, not a foundation, so you will find that you can see your skin through this product. What was really nice for me was that I could build the product nicely (not for a full cover face, but a more even toned skin).
If you're looking for something to put on your face especially on weekends when you don't want the full make-up look, I'd highly recommend this product!
BB cream is creamy in texture and offers daily sun protection, extra hydration, and a touch more coverage than a tinted moisturizer.
My beauty secret that keeps my skin looking flawless every time, is the Garnier BB cream, instead of foundation, I prefer to use this.
It’s all in one, anytime, anywhere skincare solution for making your skin perfect. I use it on its own, I use it as a primer, when I get up, going out, a touch up, pre-date beautifier… the list is endless, I mean it’s literally for anything.
This light texture that instantly melts into my skin, the formula with mineral pigments gives an instantly perfect skin, because I have lots of marks on my face, so this helps 100%, even with little pimples. Its sheer coverage, imperfections look blurred. My skin looks luminous, smoother and more even. Its 24hr hydration. My skin feels more supple, smoother, softer. UV protection, SPF15 to help protect the skin.
This BB cream is enough to even things out but not heavy like a foundation, really great for every day use. For me its very natural and covers pimples and acne scars very naturally and the skin even looks much healthier.
For a extra matte finish, I always add on some prime powder, just so it doesn’t look a little oily when I’m in the sun, or for when it’s very hot.
Go B.B! In just one step, even, cover, hydrate, illuminate and help protect your skin.
This was a miss for me. After extensive research on Youtube and so many positive reviews, I purchased this product. Sadly, it did nothing for controlling my oil. Within 2 hours after application, my oil broke through. However, it does apply effortlessly, leaves a beautiful finish, gives great coverage and is really affordable. I much rather prefer my MAC bb Balm which really controls oil and does not require a primer. So in conclusion, I will not be repurchasing this product.
I have been using Garnier's BB Cream miracle skin protector for little under a year now, and it has become one of my everyday essentials. I love that it is so light yet has amazing coverage. This is the perfect alternative for those wanting to cover blemishes without having to wear foundation everyday. It is fairly priced and has the added benefit of spf protection.
The only thing I would change about the product is the fact that it only comes in three shades. While it works for my skin tone, I doubt that the limited options cater for most consumers.

Garnier BB cream miracle skin protector for combination to oily
I received a box from Home tester club full of Garnier BB Cream. I must say i had to give it all away since it did not blend well with my skin tone yet it was for the darker skin tone it did not do me justice, i looked grey. It gets absorbed fast on skin esp when you going to be under the sun, protects from sun rays.
Those i gave it too loved it i guess it was a matter of not blending well on my skin.
I personally don't like regular foundation because of the coverage it offers. This is a fantastic alternative for girls who still want a bit of coverage but still want to look natural. It's also a great price, with SPF added. You cannot go wrong with this.
I have tried a few BB creams on the market and have found Ganier to be the best - in terms of price, quality and effectiveness! For every day application, it absolutely suits my pocket as well as my lifestyle. I find the application time quick and the results fantastic! Light, even coverage and my skin feels moisturised and healthy after use. Just a bit of blush, some mascara and gloss and within 5 minutes i'm ready for my day :)
I tried it, but would not say this is my favorite BB cream.
I found it a bit thick, the coverage wasn't as great but not so terrible that i would not use it again. It does not cover and hide away marks completely as some of it's competitors.
never thought I'd such a cream cos i was always scared of foundations. I preffered powders. and after all the BB creams I used garnier is by the best. It moturises my skin throghout the day n it has UV protection. it blends in pretty quick n nice. My tone hs become more even than i thought.I love garnier face wash toner creams just loving it. Big & lots of thanks to beauty bulletin for giving women such a platform to talk bout anyproblems they have & to also share what helps Cos at times when you are in a dillema u think you are the only 1. some skin problems we scared of talking about so it makes easier when you hear some1 out there has the same problems
This is the BB cream I've found. I tried the Revlon anti-aging BB cream and it was twice the price and literally just crumbled off my face. Garnier's however is amazing.
I was getting ready with the girls one night and we discovered all 4 of us had the same product (never discussed it before with them- purely coincidence). If thats not proof of a good product that works for everyone I don't know what is!
This BB cream is great, the smell is lovely too. The only problem I found was that it tended to leave my skin oilier as the day went on. Problem solved by carrying around a powder compact and blotting my T section every few hours.
Truly a great product. My first thought however was "how good could Garnier B.B. Cream, Miracle Skin Perfector Oil Free actually work considering you can pick it up for just $11.99? I was truly shocked at how perfectly this low priced cream worked. The second I applied it to my face I knew that I may very well have found the holy grail in cosmetics.
Overall I love this one. I will pick up another tube as soon as it runs out, but will seek out a deeper color to match my skin better.
I use this every day. Am on my 3rd tube since it came out. I find it gives just sufficient coverage for a "casual" day - I wear full foundation for client meeting days.
I think, for the price, it is a superb product.
Plus, I saw it on sale yesterday at Clicks - it was dead cheap!!!
This lightweight cream is a 5 in 1 miracle cream! you can wear it everyday without worrying about getting acne (which is what is caused by wearing base everyday)it makes you look and feel great,especially when you are in a rush and still want to feel good when walking out the house. It is every girls must have :)
I have never been a big fan of foundation, I hate that heavy feeling on my face and the idea of it blocking my pores. So when I heard about BB cream, I was very excited to try it, as it provides coverage but it's also good for your skin. Being a stay at home mom I as very happy to see that the Garnier BB cream is very affordable and decided to give it a try! I am happy to say I haven't touched my regular foundation since. I love how light the BB cream feels on my skin, it just feels like I'm wearing a really nice moisturizer. It gives me sufficient coverage for everyday wear and if I'm going out and I need a little bit more I simply use some concealer here and there and it looks absolutely flawless and not cakey at all, I Love this BB cream and I would recommend it to anyone, especially those of us who have dry skin. If you have oily skin you might have to set this with powder.
I recently purchased Garnier BB cream and I've used it thrice and I have mixed feelings about it.
Likes:
- it's not as clumpy as foundation
- it's light
- it creates enough coverage for campus
- it does actually give me some sort of glow
Dislikes:
- it's a bit too oily for my skin
- i'd have to put some powder on my face to make it less oily
- why is the tube so small?? like, i have a big-ish face :| lol.
Overall, I do like this product and I will continue using it.
It's perfect for campus ^_^
I was really excited when I finally saw this on the shelf at Clicks! I'd heard so much about the product and couldn't wait to try it. And it actually delivers what it promises!!! I don't like wearing make up every day, but I have acne and some old acne scars, so going completely bare can be a bit scary. The Garnier BB Cream offers good coverage, moisturiser, contains SPF-15, Vitamin C for blemishes and anti-aging ingredients. So it really is an all-in-one product! I have oily skin and I'm prone to break outs, but this did not leave my skin looking or feeling oily and I didn't have any break outs after using it for a week. My new must-have for the year! I've been suggesting it to all my friends as well!
I got mine in medium and must say it blended well into my skin, no obviously tell tale colour lines. It’s quick and easy to use with your fingers and requires no skill! A plus for girls on the go or those who are not make up fundi’s.
Only negative thing I have to say is that it definitely melts in the african sun and will stain your clothing , luckily it is easily removed by washing powder:).
Garniers BB cream has become and everyday addition to my morning routine and I love the instant glow you have once applied. It’s cost effective at R80 and lasts for more than a two months!
My friend told me about BB cream and said it was the best product to use when on the go or on holiday. I decided to try the product and was very happy to be able to purchase the product at my local grocery store at an affordable price.
I think my skin tone would match somewhere between light and medium, but the medium colour suited fine just after the summer holidays as my skin was a bit darker
The product does not give full coverage like a cream foundation, but it has a light feel and evens out all spots and marks
When I need more coverage, but I'm in a hurry, I combine BB cream and a bit of foundation and smooth it over my face with both hands. If needed I will then only cover up a few flaws with concealer and I'm good to go
I have been using my BB cream for a few days now, I moved from using the Body Shop BB cream, and I must say this one is much better and half the price! I love how my skin looks as I first apply it, wish it would last though as I do have a long days out and about. Find it needs to be touched up often, I look very washed out by the end of the day, and I've had a few break outs with this initial use, but that does tend to happen when I first use a skin product. Im hoping my skin will adjust soon ;-)
Garnier’s Miracle Skin Perfector daily all-in-one B.B. cream is a hard-working tinted moisturiser/treatment with a built-in SPF (15) – perfect for those who like me, don’t like wearing foundation, or struggle to find the perfect shade of foundation, once they’ve found a formula they like.
The best part for me, aside from it being an anti-ageing, tinted nourishing treatment with sun protection, is the price. Retailing at around R79 for 50 ml (available at Clicks), even the most frugal girl can afford this.
So recently I ran out of foundation and decided to mix the last few drops with my moisturizer and loved the effect.
I went to Clicks today and realized I was just making a home made BB cream and decided to get this. At R79.99 it is really affordable.
I applied it as soon as I got home and when it touched my face i noticed it felt quite sticky and I had to blend it in quite a bit before the stickiness went away. I liked the color on my skin, it matched perfectly. I chose the medium shade and I am a NC 44.5
What I didn't like was that this BB cream just seemed to make all my oily areas on my skin shin even more. The dry areas of my skin (I have combination skin) looked absolutely beautiful though.
I needed up applying face powder over the BB cream to get a matte look. After all, I do like the product. Its a quick fix in the morning and its simpler than applying foundation everyday and a lot more moisturizing and good for the skin. Powder can be applied quite quickly so it doesn't add much to my routine.
After all the hype I finally got my hands on Garnier's BB cream. The medium shade matches my skin tone perfectly and it has a lovely scent. It's easy to apply and it was smooth on my skin. This is a great product for women who don't wear foundation on a regular basis but would like to have a light coverage. It' super affordable as well!
I've been using Garnier BB cream for a couple of weeks now, and while it is light on one's skin, especially for work, after application I need to dust my face with power as it makes my facebook look oily and somehow wonder if its not targeted at those with oily skins who need the moisture more. Apart from giving my face the "wet look" I find it quite practical and it saves me a a lot of time before work. It won't cover freckles though, and won't give you added coverage, but if you're looking for a quick fix (and that would be me) and a natural look, this is the product for you.
I cannot live without bb cream since it became a phenomenon a 2 year ago overseas I have been having to importing it from overseas and when garnier released an affordable bb cream in September last year I quickly ran out to buy it and have been using it ever since. Different BB creams contain different ingredients so you can find one to suit your skin concerns but these ingredients suit my skin perfectly. This cream smells amazing and offers a light coverage which is perfect for me. A little goes a long way and it is very hydrating which is great for me since I have very dry skin and gives off a nice radiant glow which I love because it makes the skin look more healthy but if you like the matt look or have oily skin you can always dust a bit of powder over it. My skin has really improved over the time I have used it as I don’t get occasional breakouts anymore so I really recommend you give this one a shot if you haven’t. plus it lasts all day and seeps nicely into the skin during the day while providing a spf 15 protection against harfmul sun rays. it saves time on your skincare routine
would not recommend this product to anyone with oily or combination skin

After hearing raving reviews, I went out to get myself a tube of Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector.
I definitely would not recommend this product to anyone with oily or combination skin. I used very little at first but I found it to go on quite blotchy.
The limited colours made it difficult to get the perfect shade so my face looks darker than my normal complexion.
It looks and feels extremely heavy on my skin.
This is the first BB Cream I've tried, so hopefully the next time will be a better experience.
I had been waiting to test the Garnier BB cream for a while so I was quite excited to finally get my hands on a tube. As I have tried other BB creams before, I kind of knew what to expect.
Garnier's BB cream has a fresh scent and comes in 3 shades - light, medium and dark. This might be problematic for some people, but I find that the shade does seem to 'blend' and adjust to your own skin tone if you pick the shade nearest to your skin tone. I got the light and it matches my skin tone well. The cream goes on well, except that it did feel a bit greasy to me. I set it with translucent powder and it gives a nice sheer coverage for a rather natural look.
For ladies with dry skin, I think that this will work great. I have combination skin so it does feel a bit heavy, but with powder, it lasts well into the day. I think that this will be great for a natural look and for when you just want to even out your skin tone without putting on a whole face of foundation.
The price is very reasonable when compared to other BB creams that are available in South Africa and the quality compares with other BB creams that I have tried.
Overall, it does what it claims to do, and the SPF is a bonus. It also did not cause break-outs on my face which I sometimes experience when trying new creams. I will recommend this for ladies who have drier skin and also those who want sheer coverage and all the benefits of moisturizer with a tint of foundation instead of using foundation.
Not sure if I will continue buying this BB cream as I want to test them all (and ALL the big brands are going to jump on this wagon if they haven't already), and I already have a few that i'm testing out. There are many brands selling BB creams overseas so it won't be long before SA catches up!
After reading all the reviews, I just had to try it out. Its pretty cheap first of all - about R70. I also went for the medium tone which I think is a bit too orange for my skin. Anyway, it smells nice but it burned my forehead a little so didn't put it there again.
It doesn't claim to be a foundation - so the coverage is not great but I do think that it gives a nice, even tone. I wear my foundation over it and it makes the process feel a lot smoother.
I try to only wear foundation where I need it so this helps to just even it all out.
I like the product although I'm not sure if I will buy it again since I wear my foundation over it in any case.
During my last visit to Clicks I got Garnier BB cream in medium. First of all, I really think that they must put up some testers. They were no testers available and it made it a bit difficult to make up my mind on the shade. Got medium, as it was close to my skin tone.
Coming to the texture, it goes on smoothly, but gives a bit of oily finish to the skin. I am sure it would be perfect for dry skin ladies. When finished with some loose powder, I am satisfied with the coverage it provides. All in all a great BB cream which is quite affordable.
Finally got to try this BB cream. I was a little skeptical about it only being in three tones, and sure enough, light is way too light and medium is a little too dark (I bought medium, because it was closer to my skin tone).
Other than that, it is really affordable, considering most BB creams are really expensive. It provides sufficient coverage, but if you want to use it mainly for coverage, add some concealer and maybe foundation too. BB creams are used mainly to create an even tone and a nice make-up base.
All in all, this BB cream is one of the best I've tried. It lasts long, smells pleasant, and leaves your skin feeling moisturised and fresh all day.
Blemish Balms have been all the rage on many beauty blogs for a couple of months now, especially the international ones. Coming from Korea, BB Creams are said to be an all-in-one foundation, moisturiser, serum, primer and sunblock.
Of course I was overjoyed to hear that Garnier SA were bringing the first ones to our shores.
Despite the failed pre order system and very little knowledge from Clicks cosmetics consultants, this product goes above and beyond my expectations.
It goes on a little oily, and at first you think it won't cover or will make you look like a greasy teen, but it soon becomes quite matt and does a decent job at covering. I still use my MAC concealer under my eyes on the dark spots on my chin, but it's perfect for day wear.
If you have combination or oily skin, I suggest setting it with a translucent powder to prevent it from slipping off.
Over all, a beauty staple. I'm looking forward to more brands waking up and stocking up.
I’ve been hearing more and more about BB creams lately and it sounds like the perfect product – a foundation and skincare product in one. What a dream! When I heard about the Garnier BB Cream a couple of weeks ago, I could not wait to get my hands on it! Garnier claims it renews, brightens, evens, hydrates and protects.
I got one at Clicks last week for R79.
What a bargain!I was a bit sceptical about the colour, especially because there are only 3 shades available. But ‘Light’ matches my skin tone perfectly.
I wear foundation every day and I was worried that the coverage would not be enough, but to my surprise it did even out my skin and neutralise some of the red patches. Even though the coverage is very sheer, I am still very happy with the result. It leaves my skin beautifully even and radiant. This product will not replace my foundation but I will reach for it on days when I don’t want a too ‘made up’ look.
The formulation is quite thick and I love the fact that it moisturises my dry skin. It wore perfectly for a whole day after setting it with powder. I tried it on its own on a hot day and unfortunately my skin went from radiant to shiny. Not sure if this product is suitable for oily skin.
I also like that it has a SPF15 and the product has a lovely scent.
I can’t comment on how this BB cream compares to others, but I am quite happy with this purchase.
