Garnier have recently released a new addition to their BB cream range, one aimed towards combination to oily skin types. I avoided the original Garnier formula as I find BB creams tend to not last long on my combination skin and often look too shiny, but as soon as I heard that Garnier had released this new formula I knew I had to try it!
The new BB cream formula claims 'Anti-shine, Blurs pores + imperfections, Evens tone + boosts glow, Moisturises and has SPF 20 UV protection.' It is also non comedogenic and oil free. From the claims and ingredients it certainly sounds promising...
After using this BB cream for a few weeks now I'm very impressed. I've used other BB creams in the past and found them unsuitable for my combination skin type, but this Garnier product has everything that I'm looking for! It lasts all day on my skin, has a light to medium coverage and gives me the sun protection that my skin needs - a perfect product for everyday wear, spring, summer and holidays. The only downside of this BB cream is the colour selection. Currently the product is only available in two shades - light and medium. I have the lightest shade which has the perfect yellow undertone for my skin but is still slightly too dark for my pale complexion. However, if it is blended into my neck I can still wear this colour but it would be nice to see more colours in the range.
I feel that this BB cream is suitably catered towards my combination skin and I would repurchase this product as I feel it is the perfect all-in-one solution. The Garnier BB cream is £9.99 for 40ml and is available from both Boots and Superdrug stores as well as online.
I'm glad you like this product! I almost bought it but I went with a tinted moisturizer instead!

I'd say that this BB cream has more coverage than a tinted moisturiser and is better for those with an oily skin as it stays matte! I'd avoid it if you have dry skin though as it would cling in those areas.
