The Garnier, not so much, though it is a nice tinted moisturizer it's not a true BB cream. With BB cream I don't have to use under eye concealer, primer, moisturizer or SPF before going out. The Skin79 I'm currently using has an SPF of 50 which is pretty much unheard of in Western foundations or bb creams.
BB creams are supposed to make your skin BETTER while wearing them unlike foundations that just sit on the skin. It's one stop makeup because it's about 5 products in one. Hope that's not too confusing!
