Garnier Pure Active Charcoal 3 In 1 Mask Review

I like how you can use this three different ways. As a face wash, scrub and mask. This would make it especially great for travelling with because rather than bringing three products just can just bring the one. I have been using it as a face wash/scrub, and its done a really good job. I get quite dry skin, and this does a good job of exfoliating those dry patches. I didn't make me break out either. I will continue to use it!

I have really enjoyed using this product and really like the diversity of it and that it can be used as a wash, exfoliator or mask and it works great as all of these. I have noticed that it has visibly reduced some small blackheads that I had on my chin area and has prevented me from having any breakouts over the time that I have been using it. I have very sensitive combination skin and have been able to use this product without any reaction. I have also noticed my face had dry patches before and these have gone and there has also been a reduction in oiliness. The product has a very fresh smell to it and would be suitable for both men and women. As a wash I found that because it has exfoliating beads in it I felt like I wanted to use it more as an exfoliator. It also works well as a mask and dries quickly. I would highly recommend using this product f you have acne prone or blackhead prone skin and it has been suitable for my sensitive skin also.

When i first used this product and saw the charcoal colour, i was a bit worried that it may stain my face. This is obviously not the case. The texture isnt thick like a mask, it actually rubs onto your skin quite easily. The smell of the mask is quite refreshing. You wouldnt think there would be any smell to charcoal, but this has a nice clean refreshing smell to it. Easy to use, just squeeze and place on your face. Scrub for a few seconds, then rinse off. I have used this for the past couple weeks and my skin has felt so much healthier and softer. The scrub from the charcoal definitely gets rid of the blackheads. Whenever i use this, my skin feels cleansed and so soft. Definitely a product i will continue using.

The first thing that struck me about the Garnier Pure Active Charcoal 3 In 1 was that it means business. The packaging with its sleek black, blue and red colouring and graphics makes it look more like a prescribed chemist product rather than one you can buy off the supermarket shelf.

I love that it is gender neutral - it is not dressed up with pink colouring and doesn't smell fruity or flowery (smells more earthy) - it's here to do the job, not just sit there looking pretty. Both men and women can feel comfortable purchasing and using it.

The product is black (from the charcoal) and the texture is quite thick and gritty, but not abrasive. You only need a small dollop to wash your face so I can see this bottle lasting a long time - great value for money. The black colouring makes it easy to see if you have washed it off your face (and got out of your nose!), or if you splashed any around the shower (so you can wipe it off - not that I found that it stains).

After using it, it left my skin feeling hydrated and clean, and surprisingly soft. Using it as a mask (once a week) is really easy to use - and also feels my skin feeling clean and soft.

And the best part about this product is it does what it says it will do - I have no blackheads since using it. Hurrah! I would definitely recommend for anyone with oily/combination skin and/or have clogged pores and blackheads.

I found the consistency of this product to be quite thick, in a good way! It provided great coverage, was easy to blend and the exfoliating beads weren’t too rough. It provided a thorough clean and I really felt When used as a face mask it didn’t entirely dry but I did like that, because it meant it was easy to remove. The product was extremely easy to use for all of its three uses; a cleanser, exfoliator and mask. The instructions on the bottle made it very clear how long to use the product for and for what results you wanted to achieve. I also didn't get that '5 o'clock shadow' which i have experienced with other charcoal face products. The fragrance was pleasant, I enjoyed that it didn’t have an overly floral scent like a lot of other products do. Another amazing positive about this product is that it is going to last me FOREVER. You need the smallest pea size amount for any of its three uses; a little goes a very long way. An extremely economical product. The price is one of the many reasons I would repurchase this product or recommend it to others. It’s very reasonably priced, plus, it really saves money given it’s a 3 in 1 and no need to purchase 3 different products. The packaging is nice and simple. The only thing that would make it a little easier to use would be a pump. When you’re all slippery in the shower trying to flip the top of bottles can sometimes be tricky, and given it’s a thick dark product, the current flip-top lid has become a little messy. However, given the consistency of the product I’m unsure whether a pump would be a possibility or not. Initially I did notice my skin began to break out when I started using this product, however after roughly a week all of my spots began to clear and has continued to stay clear with regular use as a cleanser, exfoliator and face mask, following the instructions on the bottle as to how often each should be used. My skin feels great, is very smooth and not dry at all (initially I was hesitant as I felt this could be a drying product). I usually have oily/combination skin, and I feel that if anything this product has made my skin more “normal”. My foundation applies easier and my pores and blackheads on my nose are clearly smaller. I would absolutely recommend this product to anyone having skin troubles, or those who simply want a clearer canvas to apply makeup on to. This product has worked wonders for me and I intend to repurchase when I run out. I’m reluctant to use anything else after seeing how well it has cleared my skin.

I have been struggling to find a cleanser that gets rid of my makeup as well as scrubbing my pores for that deeper clean. Previous ones have either made my skin too dry or left my face oily after cleansing (I have oily skin already so its annoying). However, this blew my mind.

The Garnier Pure Active Charcoal 3 in 1 Mask has clay like consistency that it quite messy and gets everywhere (kind of like Fudge Purple Shampoo) but when you put it on your face its amazing. It smells really good. The first thing I noticed was the small scrub particles that weren't too big or too small. They cleaned EVERYTHING out of my face. My forehead had bean prone to rough skin and red pimples but they literally vanished after the first 2 washes. My skin is so clear and healthy, it is the best thing I've ever tried. I used it for 2 weeks daily and have noticed a massive improvement on my skin. Barely ANY pimples, not rough skin, and very smooth. I would still purchase this item even if it was double the price. PLUS you can leave it on for a mask as well. The only downside is the mess it makes from splashes if not contained.

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.

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.

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.
