This is possibly my favourite cleanser for 2018. After trying many cleansers and scrubs to remove my blackheads and shrink my pores I had quite low expectations for this product. But this product blew me away. After my first time using this product my skin felt smooth and most of my blackheads were gone. I've been using this product for about 3 weeks and I will definitely repurchase. I use it either every second day or whenever I wear makeup. The scrub feature is my favourite part as the particles are fine enough that it can be used every second day without damaging the skin, but is also coarse enough that it exfoliates the skin leaving it nice and smooth while removing your blackheads. This product also helps reduce shine which is perfect for me who personally has oily skin. I love how this product doesn't leave the skin feeling tight and dry. I also tried this as a mask on my teenage brother's chin after seeing he had a couple blackheads. I left it on for about 5-10 mins and after washing it off most of the blackheads were reduced.

Tips: Always follow up with either a moisturiser or the rest of the 10 step skincare routine like I do.
This is defs a great product for me, it is for oily to combination skin prone to imperfections which is me to a tee. You can use it as a mask, or scrub, or facial wash daily, it has a slight scent which i dont mind and has a slight tingley feeling when applied, It is a dark slightly thick consistancy, (obvi as its a charcoal anti blackhead 3n1). Its very cooling and works as it describes. It purifies, unclogs resistant blackheads and neutrilizes shine. My skin feels smooth and clean. I have noticed the more i am using it my blackheads are near non existant. YAY. And my T zone isn't shiney. I definately reccommend this product and have put this in my skincare routine.
Tips: Less is more. It dries fast when using as a mask which is great.
I was excited to try this product and I found it really good for my skin, I noticed the difference after a week of using it, also my 10 year old daughter is using it and likes it. I have tried all 3 steps, and I like the mask because it just washes off, unlike a charcoal mask I have used before and really hurt to peel off. I would recommend this to others that want a good face cleaner, it's easy to use and leaves your face nice and soft. Small negative I didn't find it smelt that great but I love the product.
Tips: Don't squeeze the bottle to hard it comes out fast.
This is quite good stuff. Its a good thick consistency so depending how you want to use it, for a wash or scrub start off with a tiny dot then gradually add more if your going to do a mask. Im not fond of the smell but you get that from charcoal or clay so i can handle it. This surprised me i have been using for about 2 weeks now, ill do my face about 2 maybe 3 times depending how oily my skin is but my nose and chin are always prone to blackheads and this did wonders after the first use of this my skin was softer but after awhile my skin was starting to clear up too and i am seeing less black heads. This is good stuff and i will continue to use this. I highly recommend.
Tips: I have to say this may be the biggest tip if your going to use this i recommend using it in the shower as it can get very messy and get black water everywhere lol so USE IN THE SHOWER...
I have normal-dry skin but I have a big issue with those annoying little black dots on my nose. I have tried strips, peel-off masks and also scrubs to remove them but either they didn’t work or my skin didn’t like them. I waa thrilled to be able to try the Garnier Pure Active 3 in 1 mask. Finally something that is light om the purse strings and focuses on grtting rid ofbthose annoyinf blackheads. This comes in an economical 150ml squeeze tube making it easy to control how much you need and minimise wastage. It is easy to apply but can be quitr messy to remove. It made my skin noticeably cleaner and softer AND the little black dots reduced over the 2 weeks I trialled this. I did like the fragrance - It is a clean kind of aqua scent although it did remind me of men’s shower gel. Overall this product does exactly what I wanted it to and worked a treat. It is excellent value and I product I will purchase.
This product more than delivered as promised. I used as a wash twice weekly and a mask once a week, I have blackheads over my nose and chin area so ensured I was especially generous in these areas. This product is minty fresh and definitely reduced the number of blackheads u currently have and seems to have stopped any new ones popping up.
After use my skin felt soft and looked refreshed I had no redness whatsoever, it was however quite messy and I found the shower the nest place to use it..I made the mistake of using it over the sink and made quite a mess due to its black colour so spent more time cleaning the sink then I did cleaning my face.
I love this product and will be buying more once finished thanks for the introduction!
Tips: I found as a mask I needed to leave it on for 10 minutes to get it to.dry proprrly
Garnier charcoal face wash / scrub / mask
My first impression of the packaging were that there was a lot of information, it seemed crowded and complicated but I sat down and read the whole label, it has some pretty big claims - neutralising shine being the main point to spark my I interest, my skin can get quite oily, especially my forehead and chin.
This product is black and inky and has a slightly bitter sweet odour, I was a little apprehensive it would stain my skin but my worries were unfounded.
The product states it can be used as a wash, scrub and face mask, I decided to use it as a face mask once every 3 days for 9 days. I applied all over my face, gently massaging in with my finger tips and left to dry for 5-10 minutes, it is quite gritty. In this time I could feel it tightening quite quickly and by the 7th minuite it was completely dry and very tight, not at all unpleasant, it felt like it was actually doing something. I felt no discomfort.
After washing off the product my skin felt fresh and smooth. The next day, I noticed my makeup applied smoother and my acne had significantly calmed down, in particular I had a couple of blind pimples on my chin and they were no longer painful and had a head on them - like the mask had drawn them out. By the third day my blemishes had virtually gone, I eagerly reapplied the mask that night.
My skin has only gotten better with every day, the effects of the shine control lasts about 2.5 days before my skin gets oily again.
As a mask, I cannot recommend this product more, my skin is the best it's been in years and I have now started using daily in the shower to enhance the effects. If you have oily blemish prone skin, try this product! Especially for this price point and volume, it is unbelievably good value for money and it actually works. 5 stars!
Tips: Let it dry on your face completely.
This product is the best... did what it said it would do by clearing up the oils that my skin produced and clearing up my current family of blackheads on my chin and nose. I washed my face twice a day and have noticed a big change..my face is clearer and feels clearer.. i used it as a mask a few times but preferred it as a face wash.
Tips: Dont leave it on to long and offen as can dye the hairs on face black..
I was so impressed with this product! The packaging is very eye catching, it has a good study cap so the product with not dry out and it has a good weight.
I love that you can use it multiple ways. I have not had any breakouts with this product and it's a new staple in my Skincare regime.
The product is very thick and dark grey in colour.It smells amazing and has exfoliating beads in it. The grit does a good job at exfoliating and is not abrasive. The mask does a good job of absorbing oils, it dries down nicely and it's fast to remove; it leaves my skin feeling very soft and oil free.
This is a brilliant product, I highly recommend. It's very good for oily to combination skin types. But if you added a facial oil or moisturiser to the product someone with dry skin could use this too.
Tips: It's very good for oily to combination skin types. But if you have dry to normal skin and you want this product you can add a facial oil or moisturiser to this product.
I can’t seem to find my original review so I’ll try again. I was lucky enough to be picked to trial this product and within the first week I noticed a massive difference in my skin. I tried using this daily but found it was a wee bit drying so I decided to use it 3 x a week and WOW. This 3 in 1 charcoal powerhouse literally halved the amount of blackheads on my face. As soon as I applied it I could feel my skin getting a deep clean and it was left glowing. As a mask it was ideal for those extra oily days (for me once a month) and really did leave my skin feeling squeaky clean. It is a thick charcoal paste with a pleasant earthy smell, easy to apply as it’s really thick and washes off with ease. I love this scrub so much I have given my other almost full scrubs away! It is definitely more suitable for an oily/combination skin tone but could be used by teenagers right through to someone with aging skin. Thanks Beauty Crew I don’t think I’ll ever use pore strips again after trialling this amazing scrub.
