Bought this a while ago. It is much thicker than I expected it to be, however thickness in this case doesn't mean moisture. On my skin it turned matte and thick quick. None of this "glow" is claims. I really love the concealer version of this so I expected to love this too but it's the complete opposite.

So today I got this in my GlossyboxI and I was so eager to try it out. I've been hearing a lot about BB creme's lately so it did make me curious. First of all, from what I know about BB creme's this is not one of them. This is just a marketing trick and is actually a tinted moisterizer. This gives hardly any coverage even for girls that only use sheer covering foundations this is on the light side. It has hardly any spf (15), which is suppose to be higher for a bb creme and the thing I found the worst was the Shine. Holy hell this thing makes you shine more than the sun itself :P You really need some powder for this. All and all quite dissapointed, i guess it could work out for girls who only need a very light coverage, but it wasnt for me.

Today is the first time I've tried any BB cream. I am a fan of tinted moistiourizers (however you spell that) I applied this BB cream this morning. Great coverage, no but again it's not make-up. Not greasy for my skin type, applies evenly, a little goes a long way. I guess what really sold me was when my husband asked me what make-up I was wearing and I told him, It's not makeup, It's my BB cream and so on. He said he likes it cause he likes that natural look. I will definately repurchase, about 10$ for a decent size tube. I am curious to see if it truely evens out skin tones over time and smoothness. I love this! My skin has naturally redish pigments (like rosacea but not) My face gets really flustered when hot/cold/ ect, but is not greays. Nice coverage for a cream. Love it!!

I have been using this for about a month, and I'm happy with it so far. This is the first BB cream I have tried. I have dry skin, and it's a bit discoloured, and I think that it generally improves the look of my skin. I only need a light coverage so it works out well for me.
I have not broken out from using this at all. I don't think it's greasy. I'm quite fair, and I think that the colour matches my skin quite well. Like all Garnier products, it has a nice smell.
I would buy this again, I will try out other BB creams as well.

I was really excited to see an affordable bb cream available in the US, but I'm really disappointed with the color selection. I know that most bb creams come in only a few shades, sometimes only one shade, but this product does not come in a shade light enough for my skin. The light/medium option is much too dark, even if I only use a small amount and blend the heck out of it. Maybe it will work better for me in the summertime, once I get more color in my face.

I have this is the colour fair and I'm fairly fair and it's not too dark for me. I use this every day as a moisturizer/primer and I think it works well for that purpose. Doesn't really have enough coverage for my skin to use on its own. It evens my skin out nicely though in preparation for all the other crap I put on top of it.

The main reason I don't care for this is the lack of color choices. I am fair skinned and the light/medium was too dark and orange on my skin. I know I could mix it with something else to tone it down, but that kind of defeats the purpose of an all in one.

I really like this cream and I use it almost every day - alone for a natural look or under Estée Lauder double wear light for a polished look.
What I like about this cream is that it is really moisturising and looks very natural. It adds glow to the skin and although the Light colour looked very pale for me in the bottle, the colour seems to adjust to my skin Color when I put it on and it blends really well.
What it doesn't do so well is cover any blemishes or problematic areas, however it does even the skin tone.
I have actually bought another bottle to have at han when the current one finishes. This is one of those products I don't want to run out of!

I was expecting this product to be a really good BB cream after hearing the raves about it but this product is definitely not as good as Korean BB creams. I have tried Missha's Perfect Cover in shade #23 and I'd say it definitely works better than the Garnier BB cream. I find the texture of the BB cream to be a bit too thick and it doesn't blend as well. In my opinion, it looks a bit too cake on my face and it doesn't look so natural. I like to apply this product with my fingers as it works best. The scent is quite nice but unfortunately, I don't think I'll be buying this product again :(

-SHADE: I think this only comes in light and medium. No dark. i got this in light.(could match NC20-NC30 depending on how light or how heavy it is worn). Its more yellow toned.
-TEXTURE: mousse-like. Kind of like a cream.
-BLENDABLE: Blends well into the skin. I just used fingers
-FINISH: Dewy. If you blend some out into your hand (and if you have very good eyesight) you can see that there are some tiny tiny particles of shimmer to give it the kind of dewy look. Its not overly dewy, its the kind of my skin is moisturised dewy.
-COVERAGE: light coverage. More than what a standard tinted moisturiser gives.
-DURABILITY: Comes off easily at touch. (depends how much you put on too) Definitely set it with a powder and if you're bothered, prime. If i dont at least use primer on my nose it gets pretty oily.
-FRAGRANCE: Probably going to depend on how sensitive your nose is. Its a light fruity fragrance and i like it.
-PRICE: Cheap, in australia, if you wait for the right time you might be able to snatch one up for $7
-BREAK OUTS? None. My skin is fine under this.
I like this. Its cheap, light coverage, and smells nice. I would buy it again just for everyday usage. I dont believe all that BB-cream nonsense that it'll cure all your problems. To me it's just a light SPF tinted moisturiser that smells good.

I gave this product a really good try and it's just a bad product! I use a vitamin A serum at night, so my skin is normal to slightly dry. I purchased this in the lightest shade because my foundation purchases are usually in the ivory/porcelain shades. I applied it over La Roche Posay Anthelios 60+ Sunscreen which is a matte finish sunscreen. I didn't mind the colour. Usually products like these tend to be orangey or the lightest shades are definitely too dark for very pale skin tones. This one was actually quite light and suited my very pale skin. However, this is the only nice thing I can say about it. It is not a BB cream. The sunscreen was useless. It looked and felt greasy and shiny. It did not correct, brighten or protect.

This product is *OK*. To ME, it seems as if I use half lotion/half foundation. It gives your natural skin a better appearance. It is NOT a full coverage product, but, it doesnt claim to be. I would buy it again at a better price, its great for a day at the beach to make you look a little better, but it is not a full on cosmetic, and should be priced more like a tinted moisturizer, 6, 7 bucks tops.

Don't know why everyone's on about it being greasy. Apply a LITTLE bit. Dab a LITTLE big onto your brush and sweep on in circular motions. My pores and redness is gone. YES, it doesn't hide blemishes. It's not supposed to hide them, it's supposed to "blur" them, according to the packaging itself. I have absolutely no oiliness. It doesn't really sink into your skin, rather it sits on it much like a foundation. It looks like I'm wearing full foundation and powder, when I'm just wearing this BB cream. I'm happy and will repurchase.
The packaging is great. The bottle's snap lid closes very definitely and the material is strong. The snap is unlikely to break on you. It also seems unlikely to get clogged up with stray product. Very nice.

This was the first B.B Cream I tried and I was not pleased from the beginning. Not only did it feel heavy and greasy on my skin, but it seemed more like a tinted moisturizer than a "skin perfector". I was not expecting a full-coverage foundation, but maybe something a little more correcting.

I hate the feel of heavy make up so i bought this in the hope that it would be light and look natural, for a drugstore brand its quite expensive and the shade range is terrible! i have very pale skin so i went with the lighest colour. At first i loved the look of this product, on its own the coverage wasent great but when i applied concealer and powder it looked very natural. After an hour or so i was shocked to see that it had turned orange, oily and blotchy, 3 things that my skin never had problems with before. I am really disapointed with this product and really wouldnt recommend!! :(

I was disappointed in this cream. It didn't make much difference to the appearance of my skin - it did not give me enough coverage and I felt I didn't look much different to when I had no make up on.
I also found it greasy and it gave me spots.

I had to write a review on this! I'm actually very impressed with this product, more so than I thought I would be after reading the reviews. My skin is very sensitive, acne-prone and very oily. I was looking for a good skin base that didn't break me out, gave a medium to light coverage and lasted throughout the day. Because my skin is so oily, makeup tends to cake off at noon if applied around 6 AM.
I applied the Garnier BB Cream in Light-Medium (which is a bit too dark for my complexion), but as it settled, it seemed to match better. I applied it over my spf face cream and Revlon ColorStay primer and MAN, it gave me an almost flawless finish and looks incredibly natural! It illuminated my face a tad as well, which is a bonus. I really like this product because it's not too heavy on my face and behaves like a better version of a tinted moisturizer. I previously have used MAC's moisture tint in light, which worked well but didn't blend as well as Garnier's BB cream (which I was not expecting from a drugstore product!) Once set with powder, it really stays put and looks much more natural than foundation.
So overall, I'm quite happy with this product, and until I purchase and try the Asian Dr. Jart BB Cream, I'll continue to keep this in my daily routine.
For oily skin, If combined with a long-lasting matte face primer and face powder, this product really works wonders.

A little bit of this product goes a long way! I use it as my moisturizer on the days I want a flawless base. I originally trired a small sample from a magazine and subsequently purchased the product. I am using the light/medium and is really a lovely item. The commercials for B & B don't describe it as well as they could. continued >>

When I went to Walgreen's to get a picture taken for something, I went into the beauty aisle and saw this so I decided to buy it. I got the shade Light/Medium, because it was the only shade that was available at the moment, good thing that it was my shade tho. It cost me $13.00, the price for an overall drugstore foundation/product is somehow pricey. I have combination skin and the formula seems to be somewhat oily, so I just set this with my Almay TLC Powder or my Rimmel Stay Matte and i'm good to go. The packaging overall is fantastic & I love it because since it's a squeeze-tube, you can use almost all of the product in the package and not let product go to waste. The promises that this product gives in my opinion is somewhat false. It feels very greasy if you don't set it with a powder, it smells really nice, I did see somewhat an improvement in my skin when it comes to discoloration and the fine lines under my eyes. But it was a very small and almost unnoticeable improvement. I do have to admit, for $13 you DO get alot of product and a little of this product goes a very long way. I would buy this again but I would NOT recommend this for people that have acne prone or oily skin. continued >>

I got a sample of this BB cream in a magazine. I was able to use it twice. I have used many other BB cream (the real ones from Asia) and this doesn't compare to them at all! It doesn't cover anything, it just evens out the skin a little. It's really oily and transfers on my clothes really easily. It's definitely not a product that I'll use for the summer because the temperature is still cold over here (Montreal) and it makes my skin greasy and usually I have normal skin that doesn't get oily that quickly.
The only thing that I liked was the color. I got it in light and it was the perfect match for me. I'm around NC25.
I won't buy this product.
