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.’

For the price this is a good option but I was a little disappointed with the product. It feels quite thick and sticky when you apply it and it didn’t make my skin look noticeably better than plain moisturizer.

Let me start off by saying that this is the first bb cream I’ve tried, but I was rather impressed by it. I think it’s suitable for people with fairly good skin, keep in mind the coverage is very light. If you are looking for something to cover all your imperfections you might want to switch to a light-medium coverage foundation.

This BB cream has been sweeping South Africa off their feet, everyone wants to get their hands on this product. I agree it is an amazing product but I suggest you apply a loose powder over the BB Cream if you have oily skin else you could end up with a really oily look.

I bought this product for one reason, it says that it blurs out blemishes. I thought by using this product that i wouldn’t have to wear such heavy foundation for full coverage. I used the “light” and personally, it does not live up to its promises. In fact, it made my face look more red, and oily. VERY disappointed…

I was looking for something to replace my foundation with in summer, and I’ve just started using the MySkin tinted moisturizer from Essence. Would a BB cream offer more coverage? It sounds like it cover blemishes a bit better. I have a few that my tinted moisturizer does not cover. Would like to try this product when I’m finished with it. :) Sounds good, apart from the oily bits. I do have combination skin.

I love this product, but have to add if you have a combination skin your face will get a bit oily on the forehead, nose and chin, but still a lovely product to use and really affordable

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.
