Garnier BB Cream caused breakouts and clogged pores. How can I avoid similar reactions?

Garnier BB Cream often contains thick textures and silicones, which can create an occlusive film—especially undesirable for oily, combination, and problematic skin.

If you notice breakouts, clogged pores, or increased oiliness after several uses, the product is likely not suitable for your skin type.

To determine compatibility:

Check the ingredients — avoid mineral oils, isopropyl myristate, dimethicone (if you are prone to acne).

Look for a “non-comedogenic” label on the packaging or in the product description.

Do a patch test: apply a small amount to an area of your face, such as near the jawline, and observe the reaction over 48 hours.

Consult a cosmetologist, especially if you’re already prone to breakouts.

And don’t forget to always remove BB cream at night using a two-step cleansing routine — first a cleansing oil or micellar water, then a facial cleansing gel.
