Garnier BB cream review #1 (all skin types)

This was the first BB cream I tried. My skin is very oily and I have acne so I always use products that give me good coverage. I have alot of red spots on my skin due to some inflamation so I was hesitant to try this, thinking this would not be enough to cover it up.
When I got a free sample, I decided to try it for a few days and I can now say I love this!

I'm using the 02-light/clair and it's 50 ml. I usually apply this with my fingers.

I had seen some Youtube videos of guru's saying this was not great for oily skin, but it doesn't bother me that much. When applying it, my skin feels very refreshed (it smells fresh, kinda like lemon) and smooth. It gives medium coverage but looks natural. I can still see some redness on my face (without using concealer or primer!) and my acne is still visible. I feel comfortable only wearing this, but when I go out I usually put on some powder on top. I'm currently using my Jane Iredale mineral makeup. (LOVE IT!)
With some powder on top, my face looks almost flawless without looking cakey and unnatural.
After a few hours I can feel the oil coming throught a little bit so for those with oily skin that might be annoying. I don't feel like it's really annoying for me because it's not super oily, but I do feel that some people with oily skin will be bothered by this and would prefer to use a BB cream that would controll the oil.

What I like about it:
- not too expensive (around € 9,99 if I'm correct)
- smells fresh but not overwhelming
- natural looking
- when setting with powder still looks natural, not cakey
- not giving me acne or redness
- lasts long: not alot of product needed to cover my whole face

What I don't like:
- for those with oily skin: oil is visible after a few hours
- if you're not using powder to set it, it will get more oily and 'dissapear' after a few hours
