My Opinion: - I have been reviewing many a Garnier products of late, so I thought why not review their hit product the newly  (ok not very new) launched BB Cream. I have been using the Garnier BB Cream since last December. At that time I bought the smaller tube as I wanted to experiment with it first. The first time I applied it on my face, I was in for a surprise. Coming to the packaging first, this BB Cream comes in a beige-gold plastic tube with a white plastic screw-on cap and a nozzled neck to dispense required amount of product. Its packaging is similar to the Maybelline Clear Glow Bright Benefit Ceam. 

                   The fragrance is very sweet, like that of roses. It lingers on for a about 5-7 mins before fading off. Its a thick-ish cream and looks like foundation. Its light-weight and spreads on easily on my face. It blends like a dream and I  do not have to keep massaging the cream. This BB Cream sinks into my skin and does not sit on top of it. It gives enough moisture to my skin which I love.

                    This BB Cream gives a matte finish and stays put that way for a long time. In an Air-conditioned environment, this BB Cream stays on matte for about 6-7 hours after which it gives a glow to my T zone. But in a non air-conditioned environment it stays matte for around 5 hours and then gives a subtle shine to my T zone. This cream does not makes my skin greasy. During the winters (December/January) I had to moisturise my skin before applying the BB Cream. But now I do not need to apply a separate moisturizer underneath this BB Cream.

                   This BB Cream comes with SPF 24 and photographs well. The coverage is sheer but can be built up to medium. It does not looks cakey on my skin even after building up a little. This BB Cream from Garnier evens out my skin tone, hides my light under eye circles and also conceals minor flaws like spots. It also gives a pore-less finish to my skin and works as a great base for foundations. Its one product I reach out when I am in a hurry.





Pros: -


* Affordable (compared to Maybelline's 18 ml for INR 199) and Easily Available

* Blends like a dream

*  Stays matte for long

* Does not make my skin greasy, just gives a subtle shine/glow towards the end

* Stays put till I take it off myself

* Washes off easily with any face wash, no need of makeup remover

* Little goes a long way, I am using this since first week of January and the tube still has some product left in it

* SPF 24 plus UVA/UVB protection is always appreciated

* Travel-friendly and gets into most purses

* All claims are true (partially)




Cons: -


* Only 1 shade has been made available by Garnier in India, too fair or too dark skin tones will not be able to carry it I suppose

* Miracle Skin Perfector is rather a tall claim


          I rate Garnier BB Cream SPF 24 4.75 out of 5. I recommend this BB Cream to all girls try it out atleast once. But dry skin beauties please moisturise skin properly before using this BB Cream. Also think twice before purchasing if you are a little too fair or too dusky a beauty. Absolutely recommend to 'oilies' like me.

(F.I.L. B43449/1)

My Opinion: - The product that I am going to review today is Garnier Light 3 in 1 Facial Fairness. I like this kind of multi-tasking beauty products as I am always on the go and its easier to carry 1 product rather than than carrying a face wash, a scrub and a mask. I love the tube packaging as its positively travel-friendly. This fairness facial comes in a white and yellow plastic tube with a white plastic screw-on cap, very hygienic. 

                        The fragrance of this fairness facial is a mixture of clay and cucumber with a touch of Eucalyptus oil (if that makes sense), nothing very strong or undesirable. The texture is dry-creamy and the consistency is thick. Its non-gritty and very gentle on my skin. It does not lather at all though it contains SLS. I like to use it as scrub and mask but not as face wash. This cleanser is a white thick cream with bright blue micro particles which are not gritty or harsh on my skin.

               I wet my face and massage a little on my skin and it scrubs away all dullness and dead cells, this I do 3 times a week. It leaves my skin radiant and much brighter. Once a week I use it as a mask all over my face and neck. The advantage of this mask is that it dries within a few minutes, great for winters :P It washes off easily and leave behind a soft glowing skin. But I am not comfortable using this cleanser as a face wash, I have used it for a week as a face wash but it didn't work for me. Firstly, it didn't lather even a bit, secondly it leaves behind some residue and doesn't give me squeaky clean skin.

                    One big advantage of this product is that its multi-tasking, it works as face wash, scrub and mask. And therefore, it is very convenient to carry one tube instead of multiple tubes while travelling. It controls the greasy-ness and shine of my skin to some extent. It didn't break me out or irritated my skin in any way. A must have product for all skin types including sensitive skin as this product is very mild and gentle.



Pros: -

* Affordable and Easily Available

* Multi-Tasking cleansing product

* When used as mask, it dries off within minutes

* When used as scrub, its mild and gentle on my skin

* As mask and as scrub, works great for me, does not make my skin red

* Travel-friendly



Cons: -


* When used as wash, it leaves behind some residue

* Does not give that squeaky clean feel when used as wash




                   I rate Garnier Light 3 in 1 Facial Fairness 4 out of 5. I am liking it as scrub and mask but not as wash. I recommend this cleanser to all skin care freaks and I suppose this product will work for all skin types.

Company Says: - 

* Why do I need Garnier Light Overnight Peeling Fairness Cream?

       * Away from external aggression, night is the ideal time to reinforce whitening action. Light Overnight Cream has special natural micro peeling fruit extracts that help peel away dark cells and lighten the skin while you sleep.

        * Your day cream should be designed for the harsh outdoors. During the day use Light Daily Moisturiser SPF 15, which provides protection from UVA & UVB rays, and helps prevent appearance of dark spots.

* How does it work?

         * Peels off dullness overnight thanks to an intensive exfoliation action to help remove dark cells.

         * Whitens the skin to reduce dark spots and further skin darkening.

         * Its melting texture moisturises and nourishes your skin overnight, leaving it smooth with a satin finish.

Visible Efficacy: -

* Products have been dermatologically tested to ensure respect to your skin.

How do I use Garnier Light Daily Moisturiser?

* Apply daily in the morning on perfectly cleansed skin.

Ingredients: - Water, Cyclohexasiloxane, Glycerin, Hydrogenated Polyisobutene, Octyldodecanol, Aluminun Starch Octenylsuccinate, PEG-20 Methyl Glucose Sesquistearate, Methyl Glucose Sesquistearate, Ammonium Polyacryldimethyltaurmide, Ammonium Polyacryloyldimethyl Taurate, Sugar Maple Extract, Alcohol, Ascorbyl Glucoside, Benzyl Salicyclate, Biosaccharide Gum-1, C13-14 Isoparaffin Capryloyl Salicyclic Acid, Cetearate-20, Citral, Orange Fruit Extract, Lemon Fruit Extract, Lemon Peel Extract, Disodium EDTA, GentianaLutea Root Extract, Geraniol, Laureth-7, Limonene, Linalool, Phenoxyethanol, Polyacrilamide, Sugar Cane Extract, Sodium Benzoate, Sodium Citrate, Sodium Hydroxide, Stearyl Alcohol, Vaccinium Myrtillus Fruit Extract, Fragrance (B32168/2)

Shelf Life: 36 months from the date of packaging

My Opinion: - After not much satisfaction with the Garnier Light Daily Moisturiser, I am here with the review of Garnier Light Overnight Peeling Fairness Night Cream. The packaging is similar to that of the day cream, outer carton is blue and white while the cream is contained in a pretty yellow plastic jar with a white plastic screw-on lid. There is no stopper or protection lid inside to avoid contact of cream and lid, hence it is not travel friendly. 

                      The fragrance is very mild, lemony-minty which disappears after a couple of minutes after application. The texture is soft buttery but non-greasy and the consistency of this night cream is that of a light-weight cream. I use it on my cleansed face every night (since last 1 month) and its easy to spread on my skin. It gets absorbed into my skin within say 5 mins without leaving any greasiness.

             

                  In the morning I wake up with radiant and well moisturised skin. My skin looks plump and healthy, but then the night cream vanishes somewhere during the night as I do not see any trace of the cream on my skin. Since I have oily skin, I am enjoying the light weight formula. This night cream is very affordable and easily available. It makes my skin look white immediately after application. I would not expect this night cream to fade spots but definitely it peels off the dullness of my oily skin. 

                  This night cream is mild and light-weight and hence it did not break out my skin or irritated the skin. Though the 'suitable skin type' is not mentioned anywhere in this product, I would request dry and normal skin beauties to stay away. I don't think I will be able to use it in the peak of summers but for now I am liking it a lot. Also very little product is required for each use so it will last me another 25 days I guess.

Pros: -

* Easily Available & Affordable

* Didn't break me out, am using it since 1+ month now

* A little product goes a long way, half of the cream is still left in the jar and I would be able to finish it off in another 1 months time I suppose

* Gives a healthy glow to my skin in the morning

* Skin looks fresh and radiant

* Does not make my already oily skin any more greasy

* Mild lemon fragrance, goes away after application

Cons: -

* Garnier does not mention anywhere in the pack as to which skin type it will suit

* It whitens my face but that's temporary




                  I rate this Garnier Light Overnight Peeling Fairness Night Cream 4 out of 5. I would recommend this night cream for combination and oily skin types. Its a okayish night cream that gives adequate moisture to my oily skin and truly peels off the dullness giving my skin a radiant glow.
