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.’

I started using this BB cream about 3 months ago and it has been my go to BB cream. It has a very cream texture and applies very easily. It has even coverage and covers up most marks. It leaves you with a glow to your skin. It lasts very well with minimal fade. The only thing I didn’t like was toward the end of the day left my skin looking every oily and you need a powder just to soak that up a bit. Other than that I’d recommend this product (in fact I got most of my friends to use this now :)

This is the 1st BB I’ve tried. It has great coverage, evens out skin perfectly & leaves you glowing. I’m usually a huge fan of Garnier products but this BB left me looking like a grease ball and I had to constantly blot my face. I think it would be awesome for people with dry/normal skin cause this makes your skin glow. I hope they create one for people with oily skin.

After all the time BB creams have been in the shops, I still have not tried one. Hard to believe but true. Garnier sounds as if it can be a problem for my combination skin, however at that price I am willing to try it.

This was the first BB cream I have ever tried, and I love it. The coverage isn’t that great, but my skin looked fantastic after using it for about 2 weeks.

After much raving about BB Creams I tried out a sample in Cosmo and boy was I pleased. I went out and got it the same day and have been using it since. Sure it has pros and cons though. It leaves your skin flawless with a healthy glow. My skin is a bit on the dry side so I wouldn’t recommend it for someone with oily skin. I must add though – I have acne prone skin and it hasn’t caused me to break out ever, despite my sensitive skin. I hardly ever use foundation anymore as just a tad bit of the cream is enough. It lasts forever as well. Still have my bottle. I don’t think I can emphasize how much I love this product and I sure am hard to please.

A few weeks ago I decided to give BB cream a try because I was struggling to find a moisturiser that didn’t make my skin oily, dry it out or cause a break out. I tried the Garnier BB cream and I have definitely noticed an improvement, even over such a short period. Some days I even go without foundation now, which I would never have done before. I love this product!

BB stands for Blemish Balm. I love this product. I’ve tried BB creams from Korea and Japan, where it’s been a big deal for years. This product is very light, and provides minimal, but very natural ‘coverage’ which is more like a ‘healthy glow.’ Suits me fine, and I feel like that it is benefiting my skin at the same time.

Unfortunately, even though it blended in well with my skin and covered some of my blemishes, I woke up the next morning with a little pimples all over my face. Sigh, so much for BB creams.

Mildly oily, certainly not for oily skin. Good for dry skin and provides substantial coverage with spf :)

I was very excited when Garnier released this BB cream and when I used it, I was so disappointed. It offered medium coverage and left my skin looking shiny. The consistency of the cream was like that of a good moisturiser but it made me look too pale.
