Using this for over 5 years!
To say I LOVE this product is an understatement. Living in Florida, I love using this BB cream in place of sunscreen and foundation most days. It has good coverage for a BB cream (having scars and acne prone skin), but it doesn’t irritate my sensitive skin either! I try to have a more natural look, and this is lightweight, simple and doesn’t require a lot of work. A lot of times I throw it on in the car while driving to work! My only wish is that there was an option for a lighter color! Being fair-skinned, in the winter I get lighter and sometimes can’t use it because it’s a little too dark. But I use it 90% of the year and it has kept me from getting sunburns while staying pretty ✨

Amazing!
This is the second tube I have ordered. I first bought this and tried it because I had heard so much about BB cream and how good they are. I am always hesitant to use moisturizer or sunscreen because I already have oily prone skin. This stuff is very thin liquid..thinner than I thought it would be. But it goes on AMAZING. It is completely non greasy and soaks right into your skin very easily. It is very nice and matte finish, which is very hard for me to find in a foundation. I feel like I am getting decent coverage without using a thick foundation. Also, most foundations give me oily skin as the day progresses, but this stuff helps my skin stay non-oily. I am very impressed by this product. And this also lasts a long time. One tube lasted me months

Favorite foundation
I've been using this product for years. This one bottle will last you forever since the viscosity of the foundation allows for a very large spread. This foundation is light and doesn't feel caked onto your skin. It also doesn't flake, slide, or smell like other products I've used. I especially like this foundation because I have oily skin and this product doesn't transfer to my fingers when I touch my face and leave beige fingerprints all over my white paper like previous foundations tended to do.I find that this product isn't great at covering large spot acne even when applying multiple layers. I usually use a concealer along with the foundation in order to keep that lightweight feel. I have watched YouTube videos of people applying this foundation both with a stipling brush and dotting it on or a foundation brush and swirling it in. I find stipling gives better coverage but takes up too much time in the morning that I just don't have.In terms of the BB cream, I have not found my skin to be brighter, more even, or clear of acne after using this foundation.

Great for Skin Evening
I got this product a few weeks ago, and have been using it every day since.My favorite thing about this product, is how it evens skin tone, without looking like caked on make up. I feel like I have professional make up on whenever I wear it. I have blotchy red skin, and this goes on very evenly, covering the blotchiness with just a thin layer.It also goes on very smooth. I can barely feel it on my face. With that said, it does come off easily (ie, if you hug someone, or brush your face against something) a bit will come off, so be careful!I have very oily skin, and I was worried that this might make me break out, however, I really haven't had any problems! I still need to do a little blotting by mid day, but I don't think that this bb cream contributes to the oil at all. (*NOTE, I have used the regular version of this product, the one that doesn't specifically say for oily skin, and that version leaves your skin very oily. So if you have oily skin, BE SURE that you get the kind that is for oily skin).The only thing I don't like, is how dark the "light" is. I live in Michigan, and after a long winter with barely any sun, I am truly "light skinned." If I hit the tanning bed for a few weeks, then this would be a good match, however with my light skin, I have to do some major blending magic to make it look like I don't have a super tan face and a white neck/body.Also, this isn't great for covering pimples/bumps. I think because it is such a smooth/light/silky formula, it has a hard time covering any kind of bumps. I feel like it almost makes pimples/bumps more noticeable, because it evens out the rest of your skin so well.Overall, great product! I would (and will) definitely buy it again!

I always come back to this
So I used this product when I was in college ~10 years ago. It was cheap and effective and I didn't know any better. When I got a little older, I figured "Why am I still using Garnier, a cheap Walmart brand? I should upgrade to the GOOD stuff!" So I went to Sephora, Ulta, and a few online beauty boutiques. All their reps laughed in sympathy "Oh girl, you're using GARNIER on your face?? Come let me hook you up with BETTER brands!"So I started spending $40-$50 apiece for foundations, BB creams, CC creams, you name it. Sure I liked some, and even still have a couple, but it took me 10 years to realize that none of them came close to providing all the benefits this Garnier BB cream gives. I had separate products for foundation, for SPF, and a finishing powder to mattify and control oil.I regret all the money I spent trying other bougie brands when, just like the cheesy rom-coms, my true love was here all along.The ONLY con to this product: It's still pretty dark for a "Light-Medium" color. I really hope they introduce a "Fair-Light" option in this Oil-Control, Matte Finish formula for us pale chicks. I have to go back to my $45 IT CC cream during the winter months because of this.
