What has changed is the branding and packaging:
- Old name: Garnier BB Cream Beauty Benefit Cream
- Current name: Garnier Skin Naturals BB Cream (sometimes also marketed as Bright Complete Vitamin C BB Cream)
- The tube has been updated, and the packaging now emphasizes Vitamin C, SPF 24, and Bright Complete branding.
I'm a big fan of BB creams because they provide natural-looking medium coverage while enhancing the skin's overall appearance. They do a great job of evening out the complexion and concealing minor blemishes, acne marks, and dark spots without feeling heavy.
Over the years, I've tried and reviewed several BB creams, including The Body Shop All-In-One BB Cream, L.A. Girl Pro BB Cream, and Maybelline New York Clear Glow Bright Benefit Cream. This time, I finally got my hands on the Garnier BB Cream. After using it consistently for the past 15 days, I'm ready to share my honest thoughts and experience with this popular beauty product.

MY OBSERVATIONS ABOUT GARNIER BB CREAM:
This cute, compact tube is lightweight and easy to carry, making it perfect for travel or everyday use. Garnier claims it is suitable for all skin types, and since I have dry skin, I was happy to find that it suited my skin well. It has a mild, fresh citrus-like fragrance with a hint of lime that isn't overpowering. The BB cream is also quite affordable, making it a great budget-friendly option. Its texture is just right—not too thick and not too runny—so it spreads smoothly and blends effortlessly onto the skin.

Sometimes, the BB cream takes a few minutes to settle into the skin, but once it does, it gives a natural-looking finish without leaving a white cast. In terms of coverage, I would say it offers medium coverage, which is slightly less than the L.A. Girl Pro BB Cream. However, for everyday wear, the coverage is more than sufficient and helps even out the skin tone while giving a fresh, healthy look.
If you're looking for a product to wear to parties or special occasions, this may not be the best choice. The coverage isn't high enough to completely conceal dark spots, acne marks, or other blemishes. This BB cream is better suited for daily use when you want a lightweight, natural finish rather than full coverage.
The finish is neither completely matte nor overly dewy—it's somewhere in between, with a soft, natural glow that makes the skin look fresh and healthy. If you prefer a more matte look, you can easily set it with a compact or loose powder. It keeps the skin looking radiant throughout the day while subtly blurring minor imperfections.
One thing to keep in mind is that it is available in only one shade. Fortunately, because of its light-to-medium sheer coverage, it blends well with a range of skin tones. However, if you have a very fair or a very deep complexion, the shade may not be the perfect match.
WHAT I LIKED ABOUT GARNIER BB CREAM:
- Light weight travel friendly packaging
- Medium coverage
- Affordable price
- glowy finish
WHAT I DIDN'T LIKE ABOUT THE GARNIER BB CREAM:
- No colour options available
- Not covering the blemishes and other spots
