Garnier Pure Active 3 In 1 Cleansing Mask Review

This face cleanser is a white clay with little speckles of blue throughout it. It’s very easy to use and simple and clear instructions on the back to the bottle. I found the easiest way to use the cleansing mask was in the shower. This products can be used in 3 different ways which each method achieving different results. After trying each method, I preferred to use it as a scrub as I found this achieved the results I was looking for, but this took a while. Initially, my face broke out in pimples and each day it seemed to be getting worse. After day 5, things settled down and started to see improvements. My face is less shiny but I haven’t seen any difference with blackheads, especially around my nose. Maybe with more time I will be blackhead free.

•This is fantastic as a mask and face wash! Scrub?...probably not so much as it feels there are only a few exfoliating bits per one use. •It comes in a large squeeze bottle and has a tight snap clip lid. •I would say this item would fare well in the hands of an oily faced gal. It has ultimately left my face ‘ish’ dry throughout the day. Personally I like this because it appears to have held back the oil, making it easier to wear foundation and even concealer. • I don’t know if it’s just me, but I feel the redness in my cheeks has calmed down a tone (still there, but definitely down a tone). This may relate to the clay content / eucalyptus / salicylic acid. •On that note...this is best to use in the shower or when you have time to meticulously rinse off at a hand basin. It is very white, and drips everywhere when water hits it. •The Eucalyptus & salicylic acid ACTUALLY does it’s thing. It cools your face and you can ‘feel’ it working. You know what I mean. If you are someone who likes the feeling of a tingly face wash, you will find this one good! •Overall, this face wash is very wholesome, does what it says but is nothing fancy. May buy again, may not depending on ingredients list.

This trial was perfect timing for me. I had just run out of my usual scrub and am always keen to try new products.  I love the Pure Active range, so as soon as this arrived I used it that night in the shower.

It comes in a squeezy tube with a flip top lid. Really easy to dispense the right amount of product with no wastage.  You really only need a small amount as a little definitely goes a long way.  The scent has a bit of a medicinal smell to it, it's not too bad. When applied it has a cooling almost tingling sensation, nothing uncomfortable and you get used to it.

It is a thick clay like consistency. As a scrub it has really fine particles in it, I would say it is definitely a gentle scrub. I do prefer something with a bit more oomph however it leaves my skin feeling smooth and soft. Gentle enough to use every day.

As a wash it does a good job at making my face feel clean and keeping any pimples at bay. It feels a bit weird to me to use this as a wash because of how thick it is. This is my least favourite way to use it.

As a mask I like to apply while in the shower then I let it sit as I go about my routine. I really don't time it, when I am ready to rinse it off I add a bit of water and massage it into my face to get a scrub in there then wash it off. It leaves my skin feeling fantastic! Super smooth and healthy.

I really quite like this product. My skin is definitely clear and I have hardly had any new spots at all. I have been using this daily and it hasn't dried my skin out at all. I do however always follow up with a moisturiser. I think this will be awesome in the summer when my skin gets a bit oily. Overall this is a wonderful product and I would definitely repurchase.

Garnier Pure Active 3-in-1 clay is a Wash, Scrub and Mask. The formula contains salicylic Acid to regulate skin tone, eucalyptus to soothe irritated skin and clay to purify and tighten pores. The product delivers the benefit of 3 different products for the price of 1 and in a 150ml tube. -as a daily face wash -as a daily scrub -as a mask used up to 3 times a week As a cleanser I think it did a fantastic job at removing excess sebum and cleaning the skin. The scrub is also great as the beads aren’t too rough but not too gentle at the same time. The clay in the mask really helps to draw out impurities which has reduced the appearance of blackheads on the t-zone and has my skin feeling and looking softer. This is the perfect for those who struggle with super oily skin or with acne. This would be the perfect addition to for those looking for a quality product on a budget.

I really loved using this product, I think it is the best one yet that I have tried from the Garnier 3 in 1 range!! I am a regular user of the Garnier Pure Active 3 in 1 Charcoal and found this product to exceed my expectations. I love that the product is a 3 in 1 so I can use it as a wash and scrub in the shower for my morning cleansing routine and a mask a few times a week. The mask dries extremely quickly (in 3 minutes) which I like if you have a busy schedule and need some pampering on the go!! It is also one of the easiest masks I have tried to remove, no more face cloths required! It has a thick, creamy consistency which makes application a breeze. It is easy to apply to the face and neck and requires no applicator. I use approximately the size of a 10 cent piece for a mask and less for a face wash/ scrub meaning that in the long run this product is going to be more cost effective than buying individual masks. I have been using the product every day for the last week and there is plenty of product left. The Garnier Pure Active 3 in 1 charcoal would last me several months and the product is the same size so this is highly worth the price of $12.99! It is definitely worth the money and I am already suggesting it to my friends. The packaging looks fresh and clean which is how I want my face to feel. It is in a tube with a sturdy lid for ease of application. Since using the product I have had no new breakouts, which may be due to the purifying clay, Eucalyptus and salicylic acid and my skin feels smooth and fresh. I have also noticed an improvement in texture, my skin isn't as oily and love the way the product has a tingling sensation when applying it as a mask. Overall I'm in LOVE with this product and it is one I will be adding to my daily skincare routine.

Consistency: Thick with small exfoliating beads. Good consistency for wash, scrub and mask. It dries well as a mask and feels like a regular clay mask (as opposed to a 3 in 1).

Application: Very easy to apply. It spreads well as a mask and can easily be applied using fingers. I noticed that you don't even have to look at a mirror and you can still get full coverage as it spreads well. After it dries you have to carefully wash it all off and it is easy to miss spots if you're not looking in a mirror. As a wash and scrub it is easy to apply all over your face and wash off.

Fragrance: Smells leafy, smell goes away after you wash it off. Makes my face feel minty and refreshed when applied.

Coverage: You don't need to use much if you use it as a wash. As a mask you need to use more - around the size of 2 peas for a thin layer.

Usage: I've been using for over a week with other members of the family using it also. The bottle still feels full. I think it will last a long time.

Price: The price is standard for this kind of wash. Not expensive, not cheap.

Packaging: Standard design, maybe a bit too similar to their other product offerings which makes it harder to find information about the particular product.

Results: Definitely helps to mattify my skin. I've also noticed that my skin doesn't get as oily after using this wash.

I don't think it has helped reduce the impurities on my skin (pimples), the appearance has stayed about the same. The mask however, I believe has made my underlying pimples come to the surface which will help them go away faster. It is okay at exfoliating and gets rid of blackheads. My skin feels soft after use (though it feels as if there is a waxy layer on my skin when I first wash it off; but it goes away quickly).

Recommend: I would recommend it for people with oily skin, but don't expect it to magically get rid of all the impurities on your face. Overall a good wash.

Skincare is something I've always found Garnier has done pretty well, for a brand you can pick up at the supermarket you get good quality products which work. This 3 in 1 Cleansing Mask is no exception.

The tube packaging is convenient and good for ease of use. First thing I noticed about the actual product was the scent, like most Garnier products it is very strong particularly being an acne fighter, if you don't like a heavy scent then this won't be for you. I think of this more as a 2 in 1 product than a 3 in 1. This is as a cleanser it is exfoliating, so having them listed separately seems like an extra claim. It does work hard as both. This is definately an active not a gentle product. As a cleanser the small exfolliating beads buff away and leave your skin feeling very clean and smooth, but I did find it left mine feeling quite tight so was too harsh for me to use daily. I also found it quite messy and so preferred to useit on yhe shower. I did try this as a mask and found this was very drying but I used to during a breakout and it helped to clear my skin up.

Overall I probably wouldn't use it again as I found it quite harsh on my combo skin but I would recommend it for those woth purely oily skin types, particularly younger acne prone skin. It would be a great entry product for those starting out in skincare too.

The packaging is eye catching and easy to use. It is a squeeze bottle/Tube. Fantastic price for a Fantastic Product!

The product is thick, white with small blue beads. It has a nice fresh scent to it, that is cooling and smells like cucumber and eucalyptus. I've tried this all three ways and they are all amazing. The beads gently exfoliate leaving your skin nice and smooth. The mask dries down nicely and is easy to remove. Using this product has not dried out my skin and has not broken me out; I was so impressed by this! It mattified my face and took away oils. Fantastic for combination to oily skin.

I was excited to try this product, as I struggle with oily skin and acne. The first thing I loved about it was that you can use it as both a scrub/face wash and a mask. The product claims that you can use it as a face wash and as a scrub as two separate things, however I found this boundary quite blurry. I found it definitely worked as more of a soft scrub, rather than a simple wash. The product has a lovely fresh smell to it and is cooling when applied to the skin. This is especially lovely when applied as a mask and makes your skin feel quite fresh when using it. Once rinsed, my skin felt a little tight, but this soon went away with moisturiser. After using it for just over a week, I didn't notice any particular long-term effects on my skin, but still enjoyed using it as a refreshing scrub or face mask. It seems like quite good value for money, as you don't need to use a lot of the product since it has a fairly thick consistency. Overall, I have enjoyed using this product, although the long-term effects have been a bit hard to see. I'm looking forward to seeing if I notice any positive skin changes after using it for a longer period of time!

I Found this to be a good everyday facial wash. My Daughter and I have been trailing it and we like it. I found the description on the bottle easy and very helpful . We like that it can also be used as a mask aswell as your everyday wash/scrub. It has a nice smell to it not to strong just right, easy to apply and rub on your face,its a nice thick cream to apply, I felt like it really gets in to the pores and you get a good clean and fresh feeling after using it. My Daughter skin has improved alot from using it . I think that it does what it specifies on the bottle. We didn't have time to do the mask but we will and I think it will be great. Another good Garnier product!!
