I haven't actually tried this on my face, only on my wrist - and I'm glad I didn't put this on my face.

I tried it out on my wrist in the store, because this product have been (and still are) very popular in Sweden (were I live). The first thing I noticed about this product is that it's way too dark, even the "light" one. The second thing I noticed is the scent of this product. It is heavy perfumed and it didn't smelled good at all! The texture of this product is kind of sticky and it feels like it doesn't soak in that well.

But the worst thing about this product is what it did to my skin. My skin got red and irritated so i immediately washed it off.

This product just doesn't work.

i've been using the maybelline bb cream for like a year now and never tried other bb creams until i ran out and couldnt find it in my color at my local walmart so i tried this.
im a medium/deep in maybelline so i took the medium/deep in garnier. big mistake i look so pale! when i wore it there were flakes on the t-zone and around my nose... i regret buying this i absolutely hate it! but i gave it 3 lips becaue it has good coverage and it looks natural (other than my t-zone and around my nose) and it stays on pretty well. if i got it in my color i think i would've loved it more.

I recently got a sample of this in the mail, so I gave it a try.
I actually prefer this to the BB cream that I've been using, which is a Tony Moly BB cream that I got from Korea. Korean BB Creams are really great and high-quality, and I was surprised that Garnier did a pretty good job. This one, I found to be super watery, so I was doubtful when I squeezed it out, but it applies very evenly on the skin (but don't overapply as you may get a 'vampire-effect') and makes the skin feel very smooth.
I ran out of the sample of course, but I'll be getting more of it!

When I heard about bb creams I wanted to try one just to see what the hype was about, and garnier oil free (the long skinny tube) was the first one I grabbed off the shelf. This product has changed my life!!! I don't have oily skin at all in fact I'm quite dry but I got the one for oily skin anyway just because I don't like putting products with oil on my face. It is amazing, the coverage is light but you can totally build it up to full coverage sometimes I use it instead of my foundation! Love love love it already stocked up!

I bought this when it first came out because I had a coupon and there weren't many "BB" creams on the American market yet. When I got it there were only two options, so I went with Medium to Dark. I've used the whole tube, so I can't complain too much. I have flaky skin, but this felt really greasy to me and was so shiny that I had to wear a powder over it. Even then, it came off on EVERYTHING. I'm going to keep trying new creams. This one served its purpose. Light coverage, evened my skin tone, but just too messy. Now there is one that features shine control, but is designated for "oily skin", and mine is dry. Under mineral foundation, it was terrible, but under liquid foundation (I used Revlon Photoready) I actually liked it the most.

I bought this just because i wanted to try a BB cream that was also pretty cheap. I don't remember exactly what I paid, but it was somewhere around ten dollars. I also bought this in light/medium because they didn't have any in the fair/light color.

The color turned out to be awful on me-I looked like a fake Snooki orange. This stuff is also pretty creamy; you really don't need a lot at all to get coverage. I really did like the creamy texture until I saw the effect it had on my face. It looked really sticky, like a donut glaze, and the small red spots on my face still showed through. But if you apply more it just looks worse.

The one thing that's good, I guess, if you do end up liking this is that you get a lot of product for your money. It's a 2.5 ounce bottle, and you really only need a small drop to cover your face. That being said, I hadn't worn this a lot because of the sticky orange-ness of it, but I wanted to get my money's worth. So I mixed it with my Mary Kay matte timewise liquid foundation that I already had in ivory 3, and now it's just great! I get the coverage i like, the texture I like, the matte properties I like, and a color that is the natural color of my skin.

Decent overall. Oh, and there is a scent that can be strongish. To me it smells fresh and citrusy, and I like it, but I know some people can't stand scented makeup.

I really like this stuff. It smells fantastic and blends very easily into my skin. I went out in the sun for a few hours one day and got burned all over my chest, but my face was completely protected everywhere that I was wearing this product. It doesn't clog my pores or make me break out, and it's sheer enough that I can just slather it on with my hands in the morning then immediately start layering bronzer, etc. over it. I like to blend it with an illuminator (I use Prescriptives Magic, which I think is discontinued now) to give my skin a glow. My only complaint is that you have to wash your hands before touching literally anything else after using it or it transfers.

there are a lot of bb creams in asia and i have tried more than ten and this is a very average bb cream but easily accessible in UK, there are many asian brands not accessible in uk or europe unless you buy it online and willing to pay for shipping fees

It has a natural look, I liked it. I only need a light coverage so it works out well for me. It was not greasy.

I actually thoroughly enjoy this BB cream. Although it's nothing like the amazing Asian ones, this one is pretty good for being western. It makes your skin dewey, and Light/Medium matches my NC20 - NC25 skin ton very well. It feels very light (I have combo skin). It is a little greasy(?) after a while, but if you set it with a good powder you'll be set for 6-7 hours. It is very creamy.

Overall, I really like this BB cream. It could be better, however, because it does tend to get oily after a while.

I like this product overall, coverage was good for my skin. I did find it a little sticky after apply so I did have to buy a finishing powder. Very moisturizing. I am not sure if I would repurchase though.

I wanted to try a tinted moisturizer and this was on sale. I'd heard that it did have some coverage and when I tested the light (as opposed to the light-medium) colour, it was a good match.

It does have a perfumed scent though I didn't notice the scent once it was on my face. Unfortunately, I have a feeling the scent ingredients were what caused my skin to react to the product.

My 52 year old face is covered in spots/pimples/rash...whatever term you want to use. The silly thing is, a few days before someone complimented my skin. If they saw me today, they'd ask for that compliment back!

I really wanted to like this product but unfortunately, it is a bit thumbs down for me...and yes, it did highlight my pores ...did it ever.

Oh my gosh I had to return this right after one use!!! The formula is just terrible and is so thick and oily. I have normal skin and made my skin all shiny and oily so I I know for a fact this isn't a product for people with oily skin! Another con is that smell it has. This scent is pretty much in every product garnier has and I just can't stand it. It is so strong you can smell it on your face. Ugh. The worst. I'm still on a mission to find a good bb cream and this is defenitely not a bb cream I reccomend but each to their own I guess.

I used this cream one time and I would never use it again. Right after I bought it I tried it on about thirty minutes later. I had no other products on. The smell was strong but it didn't stop me from putting it on. After I had it on for about fifteen minutes I started to get a headache. I don't get them that often, when I do it is due to allergies to a product I use. It was not that bad of a headache until about an hour and a half after I put the bb cream on. I got in the shower and washed my face really well to make sure I got it off. The headache got more intense anyway and I felt quite sick with nausea. In the morning I felt better. If you have allergies or can be sensitive to products stay away from this! I was able to get a refund.

Love this product so far! The first time I bought it in medium because light coloured foundations usually make me look like a vampire but with medium I looked like I had a horrible orange fake tan but I loved the feeling of the cream so I decided to try the light version and it was perfect! I suggest if you're medium usually then go for the light and same with the darker version :)

I really enjoy this. I probably will not be repurchasing only because its not as full coverage as I need. But I really love this. Yes it is orange like everyone claims but on me i fade after a couple minutes. I do feel its a little pricey but I don't regret trying it out.

I used this 2 times and threw it away. It is too pinkish orangey based, also it made me look súper greasy and didn't notice any help hiding ir blurring my imperfections. I have to a cousin, she tried it and didn't like it neither my aunt and mom. Horrible product! It is not like a bb cream should be.

I am on my third week with Garnier bb cream. So far I am still using, I will give it a few more weeks. I do like on it goes on, and I see a change in skin look. But, my oily skin still a big problem. Although, I don't blot as much as before Garnier BB cream use.

This product is really, really awful. I purchased this at the beginning of the B.B craze as there was nothing else available in stores at the time. For starters, I bought mine in the colour "Light" and it is far, far too orange looking for my skin, I would describe myself as fair but there are many many others walking sound with fairer skin than my own. It is extremely thick and never feels as if it drys, meaning it always feels tacky and heavy on the skin. It settles into pores and clings to any areas of dryness. Even when set with a powder it's staying power is absolutely nil. I would never recommend this product.

So I bought this product awhile ago and i loved it and then I ran out of it. I just repurchased it and I love it again! I love the coverage, how natural it looks, and how moisturizing it is. The price is a bit expensive for a drugstore Bb Cream but it is definitely worth it. I would definitely reccomend it.
