Will NEVER Re-Purchase

After seeing all the hype with BB creams and the Garnier BB cream, I decided to finally go ahead and purchase it in light/ medium at Wal-Mart for around 12 dollars. This product was a total let down. Although the BB cream has a nice light scent to it (which is probably the only nice thing about it), when applied, it is ORANGE. The consistency is quite thick and it has a dewy finish to it that is c...read moreompletely hate but if dewy is the look for you, then you would love this. By the end of the application, I look like a completely shiny oompa loompa. Ontop of the terrible greasy look, this product made me break out with red dry patches around my cheeks and several bumps. I love Garnier's hair products and skin creams but makeup? I'm going to steer clear from them.

pretty good!

While I don't think any American BB cream is a true BB cream, this is a wonderful drugstore tinted moisturizer. I have combination (re: erratic) skin and this has worked well for me. Just enough coverage to even out the bit of redness I have, but it really doesn't look like I have much (if any) makeup on. I have found that it does nothing for me unless I let it set for a couple minutes. I have to ...read moreset it with powder, but I always use a little powder. Overall: Great drugstore tinted moisturizer. Pretty good coverage and feels nice on the skin. But don't expect any great miracles that you may get from a higher end BB cream.

Great Coverage

I have been looking for a bb cream with good coverage to use instead of foundation. I was super impressed with the coverage of this one. I have fair skin and I chose the light/medium shade (I was looking for light, but didn't see that one existed) and it actually matched perfectly. It smelled a little like alcohol when I applied it. A little definitely went a long way- this tube will definitely la...read morest me a while. I needed to use a bit of powder to set it because it was a tad shiny, not a big deal though. I also noticed my face felt a liiiiiitle tight in my dry areas, so I spritzed over some Rose Water Hydrator Spray. I have combination skin though, so I'm sure not everyone will experience this. I was very pleased with the coverage. Of all the BB Creams I own, I have been using this one daily and really like it a lot.

I love this product!

I bought this BB cream when BB creams were barely becoming popular and I have stuck to it! I got the light/medium tone and it is perfect for my skin. It's not oily, in fact, it gives me a nice matte finish, great coverage, and it does not smear. I apply it with my fingers when putting it on and at the end of the day I simply wipe it off with a towelette. I've never liked and/or used foundation or ...read morepowders on my face...so this BB cream was the perfect way to get that even coverage I was looking for. I simply put this on my face, apply some bronzer, a touch of mascara and I'm ready to go - I love the natural look with the bare minimum make up on.

Good coverage...not worth the breakouts

Evened out my skintone with amazing results and even minimized my large pores. Provided decent coverage...it comes out of the tube with a runny almost watery consistency but goes on surprisingly thick. Provided medium coverage. Has a great scent, like White Tea and Ginger from Bath and Body Works....I was initially VERY impressed. Until about a week later when I began to break out with little whit...read moreeheads on my chin and a few deep cystic zits on my cheeks. I absolutely DO NOT recommend this for anyone who is acne prone. However, if you have skin thats on the dry side and want a decent affordable BB cream with good coverage I would highly recommend giving it a try. Its a decent product....just not compatible with my skin.

a little heavy/greasy

i found the color blended nicely, but it was thicker than i anticipated and sweats off easily in warm weather. i've mixed it with some cornstarch & my regular oil-free moisturizer... works ok, but i wouldn't consider it a primer, nor do i think i will buy this bb cream again.

BB Cream

This is the first BB cream I've tried, I got it in the medium tone. Love that it has SPF. Overall, I think it works best as everyday light coverage. It does help even out skin tone and adds a nice glow to skin, but if you're trying to cover dark circles or blemishes, you'll need regular foundation/concealer. Only thing I dislike is the dewy finish it leaves because it's too much for my combo skin, which is mostly oily at the end of the day. Can't wait to try their new oil-free version!

Happily Surprised

I had reservations about using a drugstore product on my ever increasingly sensitive skin. Due to an autoimmune disease (Lupus), I'm experiencing unpredictable skin issues. I've always taken good care of my skin and normally have a great complexion but do the photo-sensitivity issue... nothing is really normal or predictable. So, upon a friend's recommendation & sheer desperation to keep my skin m...read moreoisturized and 'sunscreened', I tried this product and it's working... thank goodness!! It is a little bit on oily side, but I not too bad... I apply with a foundation brush then give a light dusting with a powder in the t-zone and I look fairly normal.

Sheer

So sheer. All this bb cream hype is killing me. They're just glorified tinted moisturizers!!!!! Almost no coverage and no shades for fair skin. I am very fair and light/medium looks orange on me!!
