BB cream (the abbreviation “BB” means “blemish balm” - “remedy for deficiencies”) was originally created by German cosmetologists as a therapeutic product - it was prescribed to patients who needed a serious restoration of facial skin after surgery.
Asian manufacturers 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 issue their own product variations almost every month. One of the first was the 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 accessibility, and the company itself is responsible for 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 moisturizer. It can also be used as a base for makeup. The official annotation reports that the cream performs six functions at once: it moisturizes and evens the skin, gives it radiance, protects against ultraviolet radiation, prevents the formation of wrinkles and corrects complexion. Lightweight, non-clogging and containing vitamin C - all this is cream BB Garnier. Product reviews confirm and refute some of these properties.
According to buyers, the cream has a moist finish, that is, it gives the skin a radiance, but it does not seem oily. The product is distributed without problems by
face thanks to its light texture. The coating is loose - the cream is suitable only for those who need to disguise no more than light redness. It is also confirmed that the product does not clog pores and is safe for daily use.
However, not all BB Garnier cream is suitable. Customer reviews point out some product flaws. The already mentioned loose coating and wet finish will not suit everyone: the product is definitely not suitable for people with problem and / or oily skin. In addition, the cream has a degree of protection against solar radiation, equal to only SPF15. This is not enough to use the product in summer and spring, when the skin is most at risk.
To summarize: “BB Garnier” cream, reviews for which are mostly very positive, can be a good purchase for your cosmetic bag. Holders of dry or normal skin, not prone to noticeable imperfections, will appreciate its pleasant light texture and moisturizing effect. Among other things, the price of the product is quite low: depending on the store, it can vary, but never exceeds 500 rubles. If you are not satisfied with classic Asian BB creams with their dense texture and whitening effect, or you have never used such products at all before - try Garnier cream, it may be perfect for you.
