Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector, Daily All-In-One B.B. Cream Review
Wednesday, November 09, 2011
I requested a free sample of Garnier's Miracle Skin Perfector, Daily All-In-One B.B Cream after
seeing it advertised and used it for a few weeks.
It promised to unify, illuminate, hydrate and help protect skin with SPF15.
So, I decided to forgo my trusty moisturiser and put my faith in these
claims (although I wasn't 100% sure if this was meant to be used as an alternative or alongside your daily moisturiser).
Using it alone, I didn't like it as an alternative to my moisturiser as my skin didn't feel as hydrated as it normally does. It did give a mattified finish and the colour was subtle even though at first sight I was concerned about the colour of the cream. I am very pale and was sent the medium shade (it is also available in light, which probably would be much better for me) but it does melt into the skin nicely, giving me a bit of a 'glow'.
The left handside of the photo is without the BB cream, the right is with. Can you see a difference?

As
for giving me a perfect complexion? It
didn't. Imperfections do seem slightly reduced but not hidden entirely.
Illuminated? A little I suppose... but not the WOW! factor result I
had expected.
Anyway, I persevered and started to use it over my normal daily moisturiser, the result is a little less matt but my skin did feel nice to the touch. However, for me, this isn't the miracle all-in-one cream that it claims to be. It's nice enough but I have to wonder about the reason for using it if I have to use moisturiser anyway and the results are barely noticeable.
Before this I had been using Avon's Magix Face Perfector over moisturiser, which gives me better results, although it has no colour. I have however just discovered that Avon's Cashmere Finish Foundation has the Magix formula in it... if this is as light as the face perfector I could easily be persuaded to use it. I have some samples to try so I'll let you know how I get on...
Have you tried Garnier's B.B Cream? How did you get on?
