BB cream (the abbreviation "BB" means "blemish balm" - "remedy for imperfections") was originally created by German cosmetologists as a medical product - it was prescribed to patients who needed a serious restoration of facial skin after surgery.
Asian manufacturers have popularized the miracle remedy and made it available to ordinary people. The prevalence of BB creams in the East could not go unnoticed by Western brands for a long time: now various companies release their own variations of the product almost every month. One of the first was "Garnier". Moreover, their tool is quite popular. What is good and what is bad cream "BB Garnier"? Customer reviews and manufacturer promises are compared in this article.
Garnier cosmetics are known to the consumer for their availability, and the company itself for its responsible attitude to the environmental situation in the world. The brand does not specialize in the production of decorative cosmetics - this can be considered an important detail when evaluating the resulting product, since BB cream is a kind of replacement for foundation.
Garnier BB cream combines the properties of foundation and moisturizingcreams. It can also be used as a makeup base. The official summary says that the cream performs six functions at once: it moisturizes and smoothes the skin, gives it radiance, protects against ultraviolet radiation, prevents the formation of wrinkles and corrects complexion. Light, not clogging pores and containing vitamin C - all this is BB Garnier cream. Product reviews confirm or deny some of these properties.
According to buyers, the cream has a wet finish, that is, it gives the skin a radiance, but it does not seem greasy. The tool is distributed without problems by
face thanks to its light texture. The coverage is loose - the cream is suitable only for those who need to mask no more than slight redness. Also confirmed to be non-clogging and safe for daily use.
However, BB Garnier cream is not suitable for everyone. Customer reviews also note some product shortcomings. The loose coverage and wet finish already mentioned above will not suit everyone: the product is definitely not suitable for people with problematic and / or oily skin. In addition, the cream has a degree of sun protection equal to only SPF15. This is not enough to use the product in summer and spring, when the skin is most at risk.
To sum it up: BB Garnier cream, reviews of which are mostly very positive, can be a worthwhile purchase for your cosmetic bag. Those with dry or normal skinprone to visible imperfections, will appreciate its pleasantly light texture and moisturizing effect. Among other things, the price of the product is quite low: it can vary depending on the store, but never exceeds 500 rubles. If you don't like classic Asian BB creams with their thick texture and whitening effect, or if you have never used such products before, try Garnier cream, it might be perfect for you.
