In case anyone was wondering how the Oil Free Garnier BB Cream is...
...I have to say I think I love it.
Even more than the original if that's possible!
The original was great, but it definitely felt a bit oily on my skin. Not bad in the winter, but in summer, my skin tends to get oilier and I'd feel like an oil slick with it on.
So I've been playing with the one for normal/oily skin and I have to say, it's awesome!
It is much thinner coming out of the tube than the other one- to the point of being a bit messy. And at first I thought the color was lighter too- I first put it on and it seemed almost too light for me. But it seems to go on a bit light and blend in to your skin tone in a few minutes.
It gives a nice matte finish, my pores look smaller, and it lasts all day.
I went to touch up at lunch time like I normally do and was amazed that I didn't have to.
I think the other one was greasier and would slide off my skin by mid day.
This one really has staying power.
So if you have oily skin or oily/combo skin- I'd definitely recommend this one!

Yes definitely much better for summer or slightly oily to oily skin.
I also feel like I don't need my mineral veil or any kind of setting powder over it.
It just kind of sets itself to a nice, matte finish!

I have this and I like it! The only thing that I don't like is that its liquidy and the cap comes off in my makeup bag and it gets everywhere.....so just keep it in a Ziplock.

I also really like this one. At first I was kinda skeptical because it is a bit messy but it gave me great coverage all day and it was so light!

Re: In case anyone was wondering how the Oil Free Garnier BB Cream is...
thanks for posting, I use the original as well. It works well in the winter but the past few weeks it's been really greasy on my face. I do need the oil free one.
thanks.

I broke out horribly from it. I'm convinced BB creams are the devil for oily/acne prone skin.

I am wearing this for the first time today and I really like it a lot - thanks! Couple of questions (I am makeup-challenged).
If I were to need undereye concealer (which I do need but don't own) would I wear it under the bb cream?
I shouldn't wear a primer under this right? Or should I?
Thanks

I never wear under eye concealer but if you are going to I would say put it under the BB cream. Treat the BB like a foundation so use the concealer under it.
I was using a primer for a bit, but recently stopped because I feel I don't need it with the BB cream. I do use my Murad Oil Control Mattifyer under it now that summer is here...that isn't a primer but kind of acts as it for me.
So if you notice it wears well and doesn't settle in fine lines etc- you don't need a primer.

The likelihood of my lazy ass buying concealer is pretty much nil anyway, but if I decide to take the plunge I want to be prepared, lol.
