My new fave!

Garnier Pure Active Charcoal Peel-Off is just awesome. I tried using it in my whole face because I feel like my face is clogged and it was sooooo good! When the mask has dried, I peeled it off and I can see the blackheads coming off and not only the blackheads but also my facial hair. It hurts a bit when you peel it off but I like it because you know that it's working.

I usually break out when I use product with salicylic acid but not with this one! Simply amazing and will definitely use again!

Tips: Apply a thick layer of the product to make it easier to peel

Gentle but effective!

I love the Garnier charcoal range. I often use the scrub/mask. It does wonders for my skin.  When I got a random invite to this trial I was super excited. It comes in a box which has directions on how to use and what the mask does. The mask itself comes in a 50ml squeezy tube with a flip top lid. It is a thick, black sticky consistency like tar lol and has the same masculine scent like the rest of the range.

After washing my face I apply a generous layer on my T-zone as directed. I get no stinging at all.  It has a tingly, cooling sensation but it feels comfortable. I put this on too thick the first time and it took forever to dry, so I put a much thinner layer on now. Just experiment with the thickness until you get it right. Now for the fun part! I gently peel it from bottom to top. This feels satisfying for me. It is not painful at all, athough if you have a hairy face you might get a free wax job lol.

I have blackheads on my nose and cheeks specifically and this definitely drew some of them out. There were little bits of gunk stuck to the mask! I could tell a difference especially on my nose. Thankfully my skin did not breakout. My face felt incredibly smooth and clean. It did not dry my face out at all. I like how you can just put it wherever you have blackheads, I will probably just target my nose and cheeks from now on as they are what annoy me most. It says to use 2 times a week so I have now incorporated it into my skincare routine. I love trying new products and this was definitely a nice mask.

Best Black Mask Ever

Garnier Pure Active Charcoal anti blackhead peel off is the best black mask I have used. I have tried a number of other products similar to this and have found them very uncomfortable to use and hard to peel off. After washing and applying a generous even layer to the t zone and allowing the product to completely dry the mask was easy to peel off and you can see the amount of impurities it has pulled out from the pores. I have noticed a visible reduction in blackheads too. I like that the product doesn't smell horrible like I have found similar masks and the use of Charcoal and salicylic acid. The 50ml tube is also a great size in which you can get multiple applications from.

Tips: I noticed a bit of residue after peeling off the mask so I would follow up with Garnier Pure Active 3in1 Charcoal wash, scrub and mask. Also ensure you avoid eyes, lips and eyebrows as the product will remove facial hair too.

GARNIER Pure Active CHARCOAL peel-off

I was a bit worried to try another charcoal peel off as I've had a bad experience before...But this was so good!! I've used it twice for the review as it says on the pack use 2 times per week and have had good results both times getting black heads out :) I found it very easy to apply to my skin, was just the right consistency. Has a fragrance to it which is not to harsh as other brands I've tried have been quite smelly. You don't have to use alot to cover the areas on your face so the tube is going to last a while. The packaging is good, explains well how to use it. Over all I'm happy with this brand, it left my skin nice and soft after it came off, and it was very easy to peel off. I will recommend to try this brand !!

Tips: Make sure its completely dry before trying to peel off :)

FINALLY the nose mask I've been waiting for!

I have spent more money than I'd like to admit on nose masks and pores strips with minimal satisfaction, I'm afraid to admit how much money I've spent on them so my expectations of this product were reasonably low.

Yet again Garnier have blown me away with this charcoal range, I have repurchased multiple items in this line and this one will be on my list also!

The mask goes on smoothly, it doesn't separate like other masks like this that I have tried.

It had a cooling effect and a pleasant fresh smell.

It took a wee while longer than expected to dry but that's no issue.

The fun part - peeling it off. Oh this was so satisfying! It was not painful and did not grab onto hairs like other nose masks do yet it still miraculously cleared more from my pores than I've ever seen before!

I had no redness afterwards and I could visibly see a difference in the cleanness of my pores - as a daily makeup wearer I do like to deep clean every now and then and this was amazing!

The amount of...gunk...on the back of the mask was quite impressive for lack of a better word.

Now to convince hubby to let me use it on him...

Tips: Let it dry completely and peel upwards

Blackheads Be Gone!

The mask is easy to apply, it's a bit sticky, but it does smooth out well.

It doesn't have too much of a scent, which is good as you have to leave it on for 30 minutes or so. (Until it's peel-able)

It dried pretty much evenly, and the peel off process was simple and easy to do, I didn't find it painful, less uncomfortable than pulling off a pore strip!

After use my skin was a little red, not from irritation, more a post-facial redness. This faded after about an hour. My skin after use is noticeably fresher and clearer, with a reduction in blackheads

Will continue to use.

Tips: You can wash it off with warm water instead of peeling if you prefer

Everything you want the internet black mask to do!

Without the icky stuff!!

I've been seeing those peel off black masks on Facebook for a while now. And I almost wanted to try them, but I just couldn't get passed two things; 1. The masks are from unknown brands and could contain all manner of yukky things 2. Anything that hard to rip off, can't possibly be good for your skin!

The fact this is from a brand like Garnier immediately put me at ease.

I found it easy to apply, no tingling, but a slight tightening as it set. The peel off was nothing like the FB videos, it wasn't overly painful (around my nose did make my eyes water a bit!) and it peeled off in smaller chunks.

I've used this a few times now and each time I'm amazed at how soft my skin is, it's like I've gone for an exfoliation treatment. The blackheads around my t-zone have pretty much disappeared after maybe 4 uses.

I'll continue to use weekly to keep my skin clear and fresh.

Pain free and fascinating

To review this product I decided I should do my due diligence by testing it on my husband first. You know, just to make sure it really works. Who am I kidding? I just wanted to see him squirm as I peeled his skin off. Don’t judge me! It was a bit messy to apply but smoothed out easily, and took about 30 minutes to dry completely, Unfortunately, the mask peeled off his face easily causing no discomfort whatsoever which was a major let down for me! However, it did have a lot of blackheads on it which was gross but fascinating. I used the mask myself and found the same results - no discomfort but a lot of blackheads.So i guess it did as promised. My skin felt smooth and hydrated afterwards. I would definitely buy this product again.

The perfect peel off product

Wow I was very impressed with this product!

The packaging is excellent quality and well made. It is a pop off lid and it is a squirt bottle. The product colour is black and it is a medium liquid consistency. It has a scent to it, so if you don't like scents this may not be for you. In saying that I personally do like it.

The product goes on smooth, opaque, glossy and is cooling once applied. It drys fast and stays the same colour just less glossy. The peel off was a beautiful moment, I say that because it did NOT hurt at all. Not one little bit! It did remove sebum and black heads and was very easy to wash. My skin is so so so soft afterwards. I would highly recommend this product. (I will also update to see if it breaks me out in a few days.)

Tips: -Use hot water or steam to open up your pores first so you are more likely to get more out. -Do a small patch test on your face first away from your eyes. Don't do it on your arm because your face is alot more sensitive. -When removing the products pull upwards, this removes sebum, black heads better. -Don't peel it to fast because all may not come out. -Don't worry if it all doesn't come out, you can do it again.

Garnier Pure Active Charcoal Pull Off

I love the charcoal texture that smears on your face. It's easy to apply. Just put it on your fingers and smear away. Once applied leave it till it feels dry, then peel off. This makes your skin feel so soft and refreshed like you've just had a facial. I love this new product and will continue to use this on a regular basis.

Tips: Before applying on your face, dampen a flannel with Luke warm water and pat on your face. This makes applying the product easier and smoother.
