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.’

It smells yummy and fresh. Love that it looks like your skin just has a natural translucent glow as if you aren’t wearing foundation but still have that even skin tone. Plus you can just add a touch up of powder in the evening if you need a bit more coverage. Best well-priced BB cream to date.

The scent is fantastic. It’s greasy though, and blurs nothing. Coverage is light to non-existant. Was really expecting better.

I LOVE this BB cream. It’s affordable, gives great coverage (not like foundation, but if you begin with healthy skin this will work perfectly), gives you a glow, sunblock and and and…… Really a very good sub for foundation when you’re not feeling like taking time to apply foundation, it’s a lot lighter too.

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
