Garnier Pure Active Charcoal Peel-Off Reviews

Unfortunately as much as I wanted to like this product I didn’t. It was messy with minimal results, I didn’t notice any difference in skin texture after first use. The consistency is thick and black and gets everywhere if your not careful, i made the mistake of not pinning my hair back far enough and all my hairs fliaways got caught and stuck. Removing the mask was easy enough, didn’t come off in one clean go and it did hurt the sensitive areas on my zone. Positives- I love the ritual of a face mask, so I’d say it was nice to take the time out for myself.

I was very excited to review this mask as I have never really tried a peel off mask before. The sent was nothing special, and smelt a little chemically. The product seemed to be of a good consistency, but you needed to use more of the product in order to get a peel-able peel. I noticed that my skin appeared fresher and I noticed that it did remove some dead skin and some white/black heads. My pores did not appear to change in size. In summary, For the price of this product I would use this product again, but not considering this I would most probably reach for another product/ mask first.

Garnier charcoal peel off mask is super easy to apply with either a brush or your hand. The smooth consistency makes application easy and the smell reminds me of a men's aftershave, which I like. It did not seem to remove the blackheads on my nose and chin, but it did remove dry flaky skin and left my face feeling very clean and smooth after. Only downside was I found it hard to peel off, but I will continue to use.

For a mask that was such a huge trend I don't see why it was so popular. It didn't apply evenly and would benefit from having an applicator. It was a horrible sticky consistency that felt more like glue than a beauty mask. It hurt to remove as it stuck to my skin really strong and left lots of residual pieces instead of coming off in larger piece(s). After removal my skin felt really dry and irritated. I won't use this again I would prefer something more gentle.

I was really looking forward to reviewing this mask, and I was so excited to see it arrive in my letterbox, however it has not lived up to the hype. I have used it 4 times to give it a chance but it just has not really done anything... it’s fun to have a play with and feels nice on your skin, the sensation when it dries is very satisfying but when you peel it off it didn’t seem to take anything with it. No satisfying blackheads, no dry skin, it simply peeled off without much fuss. I will say it is particularly hard to get an edge to pull, but when you do it does tend to come off in more or less one piece, but it didn’t seem to do anything for my skin or pores. I tried several different thicknesses to try and get the desired outcome but sadly have given up. You’d be better off using the strip version you can buy that is activated by water. Aside from the product not really doing what I envisaged, it was nice to apply, the smell was a little overpowering, almost like a cologne. The texture was smooth and thick and the packaging was easy to use. For the RRP it is pretty good value for money size wise, but I will stick with my tried and true masks for now.

I think my husband was more excited to try this than I was lol.

I loved the nifty little tube the product came in, making it easy to store and to travel with.

The product itself had a nice scent to it, not too chemically like some others can be.

The product was easy to apply, I did this with my fingers and it was mess free. I applied a medium layer on my T-zone as directed and waited for it to dry, which I felt took some time however this could've been due to the application being thick in some areas.

Once the product had dried, my skin felt tight but not uncomfortable. That was great.

I was a little nervous about removing the product as I had expected it to be painful and uncomfortable but much to my surprise, it wasn't.

The peel-off, peeled off with ease taking away the nasties from my skin with it. My forehead felt smooth and tingled for a bit afterwards.

I found this product to be quite useful for removing blackheads and fighting shine, which is something I suffer with daily.

I was so pleased to be part of this trial and my husband got to try this as well!

The mask doesn’t smell and is easy to apply but you need to make sure to put plenty on so it dries and peels properly. On my first use, it was too thin and it was hard to get a piece up to peel.

The second time, I put a lot more on and I felt like I used a lot of product. I don’t think it will go super far. When I pulled it off, it was a bit painful and I am not sure how I feel about tugging on the skin on my face.

The mask works and pulled a lot of hair off! But I wouldn’t say it was so miraculous that it’s worth the pain and hassle of applying it. It gets everywhere.

Overall, if you like peel masks, you’ll probably like it. They aren’t my jam, though.
