I was very impressed with this product. It covered all my blotchiness and gave me an even skin tone. I could skip my normal morning moisturizer because this product had lots of moisture in it already. My wrinkles looked reduced and I felt fresh and ready to go. It smells fresh, and comes at a very reasonable price. My biggest complaint is that while it moisturizes, it leaves my skin looking a little greasy after it sets in. Also while it evens out skin tone, I still needed to add cover up to the dark circles under my eyes and any blemishes that had popped up.
I purchased Garnier's BB Cream in a light/medium, for about tweve dollars. I purchased this item at Wal-Mart. I love this BB Cream! It is very smooth, thick, and creamy. I love how after it is applied, my skin has that "airbrished" look. I have several dark spots Im always trying to cover up, and this did the trick quite nicely! My only (small) complaint, was that once the BB cream was applied to my face, I did notice my skin was a little oilier than usual. Other than that, great product for a great price! :)
I honestly don;t understand the huge amount of hype that BB creams have received lately. I typically use a face lotion, and then a foundation, followed by a translucent powder. I tried this BB cream instead and found that it was light, but a bit greasy and didn't give enough coverage. I had to apply the translucent powder over it to make sure my face wasn't shiny, but my face still felt too "wet" or slick for lack of better words. I wouldn't use it again mostly because of the coverage issue.
I love the Garnier BB cream! This stuff is great. My skin looks flawless and healthy when I use this. It's not thick and cakey like foundation yet it gives a really nice coverage and leaves my skin glowing! Definitely recommend this to anyone. It is also priced well so there really isn't much to lose when trying this!
I am not a huge fan of this bb cream. I think the coverage is great, good consistency, but the color is horrible! It only comes in light/medium, and medium/dark. Neither if those work for that many people. I have fair skin, and the lighter shade was just way too dark. If you have the right skin-tone, this product would be great for you, but it just doesn't work for me
All in all a very average product. While moisturizing, it does leave my skin feeling a little greasier than it should at the end of the day. The texture is thicker than I'd like but does provide coverage if layered. One layer with powdered foundation works well if you need to leave the house quickly.
The only thing that sort of bothered me was how easily it came off with water.
I recommend this for those who'd like to experiment with Western BB Creams.
Good coverage but always made my skin too oily and caused breakouts or rashes. Unfortunately, I cannot purchase it again - as it started to make my skin break out. I have VERY sensitive skin. The scent also bothered me. Might work better for someone else. I prefer Maybelline Dream Cream BB
I am so excited to share this review with you all today. A few months ago, I found the Garnier Skin Renew BB Cream at WalMart. I had heard that BB Creams were amazing, so I thought that I’d give this a try. Garnier states that this a “miracle skin perfector” that hydrates, corrects wrinkles and imperfections, protects, evens and brightens skin tone. I was very curious to see how my skin would react to this. Some skin care products do a number on my skin.
This product does have a scent, but I did not even react to it. This says a lot because I am the Queen of Allergies ( I always seem to be allergic to everything) . If you like the smell of Garnier products, then you’ll be okay with this.
There are two shades: Dark Medium and Light/Medium.
I have applied this product two ways; with my fingers and with a flat top powder brush (I use the one from ELF). I put a small amount on and blend away. I got great coverage just by using my fingers. However, when I used the brush, it was as if I had used liquid foundation. Seriously. I could not believe how amazing my skin looked!! I received so many compliments whenever I wore this. I didn’t even bother using liquid foundation this summer for two reasons: it was beyond hot and why do I need liquid foundation when this BB Cream gave me not only the same result but made my skin look SO good! I have put quite the mark in this product; it makes me feel great knowing that I have not let this lie around unused!!
This product was $12 and it has become an essential product that I must have in my collection.

I was lucky to receive a few samples of this to try out a few months ago, and although it was a decent product, I don't think it is the BB cream for me.
It apparently only comes in 2 shades, and while I'm sure they work well for alot of other people, the lightest one was still a few shades too dark for me. (It did kind of make me look like I had more of a tan, but not really in a good way lol.)
The coverage and application was nice - it was lighter than foundation, but still made my skin look more even and clear. Plus, a little went a long way for me - one little sample packet gave me enough product to use a few different times.
One thing I noticed while wearing this BB cream, was that it made my skin feel and look more oily than usual, especially the longer I had it on. And as mentioned before it didn't match my skin tone, and there is only one other shade apparently, (which is darker, so it definitely wouldn't work for me).
Overall, I found this BB cream to be a bit too oily for my already-oily skin, and obviously the shades they have available aren't the best matches for me either. I still recommend this product, but I've found another BB cream that definitely suits me a lot better.
I just got a sample of Garnier's new version of this BB Cream for Combination to Oily Skin. I was so happy that they came out with this, because most drugstore BB creams seem to be more for normal to dry skin. This one actually felt more natural and looked much more matte than the normal skin version. However, my sample was for the lightest shade they have (it comes in Light, Light/Medium and Medium/Dark), and sadly it was too dark and didn't look right on me.
Despite it being the wrong colour for me, this went on really nicely with a lighter, more liquid texture than the original, and gave good coverage. I think that the formula for this one is much better for my oilier skin, so hopefully they will come out with a few more shades in the future!
