A new affordable all-in-one technology that instantly evens skin tone, blurs lines and imperfections, a boosts healthy glow, offers 24hr moisture and has UV protection of SPF 15. The formula was developed based on Garnier’s skincare philosophy of providing exceptional sensorial quality in richness, pleasurable application, sensations of comfort, fragrance and nourishment.
What we say:
‘If there was ever a product that I could say makes me feel like I’m literally glowing, it would have to be the Garnier BB cream. When I apply a thin layer onto my face using my fingers, it simply glides onto my skin while the pleasant smell makes me feel refreshed. It blends so well into my skin and gives that luminous look. I feel like I can conquer the world!
‘I am not a fan of thicker foundations so this product really is my new favourite. The BB cream, which is actually known as a blemish balm, is used to treat, protect and even skin tones. The Garnier BB cream has an SPF of 15 and offers 24 hours of moisture. My skin never feels dry at the end of the day.’

Absolutely love this product. The smell cheers me up first thing in the morning. The light coverage is so natural. It can be slightly oily, but I have extremely dry skin so its fine for me. If you need a “foundation” effect in 2min, with a smooth application and an uplifting smell…this product won’t disappoint.

I had not used a BB cream before I purchased the Garnier BB cream in Medium, Since my skin is not too problematic I thought a light covering day cream would totally rock instead of a base,
In reality I was not that impressed with this product, it firstly did not blend or absorb well into my skin and it left my skin with an oil feeling, and shine that I just did not dig
I will definitely try another bb cream just not this brand.

Wow this affordable dream in a tube is absolutely incredible after seeing it advertised I went straight out and purchased it and I was also give a free tube from Clicks and Rubybox this cream goes on so finely and lightly and does exactly what it says it covers every imperfection etc I use the light during the day at work and the medium if I go out at night I even went and bought my mom a tube and my mom in law they both raved about it aswell. absolutely stunning product.

The BB idea is great as it is an all in one product at a really affordable price. Saves time and money. This one works really well to cover up marks but is still lightweight.

Have heard so many good things about it that I have to try it.

Since being new to this fad, I don’t have anything to compare this too, but I will take a shot. I got this BB Cream for R70, so it was not THAT expensive. I tried this BB Cream for a few days, and I was not impressed. If it claims to be a foundation, why is it not covering) my face like a normal foundation? So I packed it far, far away. But on came summer, university started again, and I had very little time to do makeup, and out came my little BB Cream bottle (after I did some research on BB Creams).
Long story short, after just a day of using it, I was in love with this little ‘miracle lotion’ of mine. It moisturized my skin during the day and offered the acceptable amount of coverage for summer. It is quite a thick product, but it glided on smoothly with my little triangle sponges. All I added was a dash of mascara, a brush of blush and a swipe of lipgloss, and I was ready to go.
After about a few hours, my face got a bit oily, but I just took a tissue and dabbed the moisture of, and I was ready to go again, looking fresh and summery.
For a night out, I would use my ‘miracle cream’ as a primer for my makeup, and it really did wonders. My makeup lasted the entire night and looked perfect. I was almost sad to wash my makeup off at the end of the night.
All-in-all, apart from the little oil reisdue at the end of a hot day, I do recommend this product. It’s cheap, and it does it’s job. I will definitely repurchase this product.

I bought this product in September and I have been wearing it everyday since. My first tube is nearly finished. I love it. It makes me look naturally tanned and blemish free in Summer. When I want to look more polished and less shiny I cover it with mineral powder. At this price I recommend it to everyone. My one concern is that the medium is too dark and that maybe 2 in between shades are necessary.

Love this review

The reviews seem to be very good for this product, although I have been researching BB creams trying to decide which to get, and apparently the ones by ‘Western’ companies don’t really live up to the Korean BB creams. I think the SPF on the Garnier one is too low, so even though I would be tempted to try I’m going to first try the Eborian BB cream.

I received this in the Dec Rubybox. The LIGHT matched my skin perfectly! I expected far less from something so well-priced. I was pleasantly surprised! This cream evens out the skin tone, gives light coverage and feels very soft and silky. It gave my skin a very natural looking glow. I will definitely be buying this.
