Garnier SkinActive Pure Charcoal Tissue Mask with Black Algae Review

I was lucky enough to receive this as part of the trial team. I'm normally a mud-mask type of person as tissue masks have never really been my 'go-to'.

I tried this out yesterday and was quite surprised how nice it was, the tissue mask had a neutral smell to it, it was black which was cool and had plenty of "goop" to move down my neck while I was waiting for it to do its thing!

Directly after, my skin felt clean and hydrated, and a full 24 hours afterwards my skin still feels hydrated and quite smooth—I also have a spot of psoriasis in the middle of my forehead, and I've noticed that has helped it in such a small amount of time, which is exciting!

I can confidently say that I would be interested in purchasing this product again, I am still very much attached to my mud masks and how they pull everything out, however, I feel this would compliment it nicely to bring back some hydration to my skin.

This made my skin feel so soft and hydrated after just the one use! I went out and bought a couple the day after I tried it. At first getting it out of the packaging was abit weird as it was so slimey, but thats what you get with a sheet mask I guess lol

With the sweltering heat my skin has been a little worse for wear so when this arrived I popped it into the fridge to make sure it was extra cold before applying to my face.

The mask itself is really large which is great because although I love face masks I often find they are too small for my face! (Which is quite small).

I also liked it had extra essence at the bottom which I put on my hands and neck after.

I left the mask on for 20 mins and noticed that my skin looked plump and bright which I really liked. It also soothed my hot summer skin!

All in all I would try more from the range.

This mask was awesome! I was definitely sceptical when I read that it would stay on without me having to stay put, because other masks I've used have slid straight off my face the second I stood up. However, this mask went on easily, and stayed on so well that I managed to get a whole bunch of chores on while I was wearing it!

Another issue I normally have with sheet masks is that I have quite a small face so I find them really uncomfortable to fit. I had absolutely no problems with this mask, and once I smoothed it onto the right places, it stayed there.

I left the mask on for longer than the recommended 15 minutes and thought it had great results! My skin felt a little sticky so I just massaged in the extra product and it absorbed really quickly. I thought my skin looked plumper and brighter, and it lasted through to the next day.

I'm not sure if the charcoal actually did much as my pores didn't look or feel particularly different afterwards, but I wasn't too fussed because the rest of my skin felt so great.

Overall, I would recommend this mask if you want to give your skin a lovely hydrating boost, and make it look and feel smooth as!

I absolutely loved this. I usually have combination skin, however lately my skin has been extremely dry, this mask was like a godsend, my skin soaked it all up and almost immediately felt refreshed, it still felt amazing a day later. There wasn't a strong scent that I noticed, the mask itself was easy to apply, I didnt even use a mirror although I did find it a little diffucult to unfold initially. It immediately felt cooling and soothing and i really didnt want to take it off. I am definitely adding this to my beauty regime.

I'd originally received the Garnier SkinActive Pure Charcoal tissue mask in a beauty subscription box. I love a good sheet mask so was very excited to try this one and it did not disappoint. In fact, I was so impressed that I went out and bought every type of Garnier's new tissue mask range.

While the Charcoal mask is probably my third favourite of the range, it definitely does everything advertised and is loaded with serum which leaves your skin feeling absolutely amazing and refreshed.

There is so much serum in the package that I typically use the mask, throw it out, and then use the leftover serum in the package later that day just to keep my skin feeling extra plumped and refreshed. Highly recommend!

I've tried the blue and black ones so far and I can honestly say the charcoal sheet mask is the way to go if you have normal skin with the very odd, minor breakout or dry patch. The blue one upset my skin and dried it out on my cheeks around my nose and mouth. It was quite sore and uncomfortable. Therefore ill be sticking to this charcoal one

Absolutely loved using this mask! Left my skin feeling cleansed and not at all dried. Would 100% recommended it and can't wait to use again.

This is a great mask. I love the affordability and simplicity of the Garnier sheet masks range, being able to pick one up from the supermarket where ever you are is awesome.

The packet is easy to rip open and the mask is easy to remove. I did find unfolding the mask a bit more difficult than usual but I think this is because of how much serum is packed in there. The mask was easy to put on my face and stayed on well, even in the bath.

I left the mask on for the recommended time then removed it. It did not irritate my sensitive skin at all, or leave it feeling dried out. I kept the packet to use the leftover serum later on - there is a generous amount in there. My skin was left feeling moisturiesd, firm, fresh and nourished. I don't think my pores look any smaller but my skin does look hydrated and better overall. Would definitely use again.

I also love that the mask is home compostable! If only the packet was too!!

I love me a good sheet mask, when I saw this at The Warehouse I just had to have it. It was $4.95 which is a good price.

Upon opening I realised the mask was black which suprised me, but as it is a charcoal mask I should have expected it. I had a bit of a chuckle when I had it on as I looked quite funny.

It is the same as the hydra bomb masks where you peel off one layer, I actually find it easier to peel the layer off before I apply it. It fits well and lines up quite good to my eyes, nose and mouth.

It is drenched in product so is very cold when you apply, not the best on a cold winters night, would be lovely and refreshing in summer for sure. 

I have dry, sensitive skin and get no irritation at all, after 20 minutes my skin is left feeling super hydrated and plump. It gives my skin a great glow and appears brighter. It does not cause any breakouts.

I absolutely love these masks and highly recommend for a pamper night or for a bit of a pick me up. Nice one Garnier!
