Garnier Pure Active 3 In 1 Cleansing Mask Review

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.

•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 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.

Finally a face cleanser that’s gentle on my face, is affordable and is readily available.

Love how it’s three products in one a cleaner a Scrub and a mask, saves buying three different products saving me money. The best part is how effective this product is, my skin feels softer and smoother than ever. I have experienced acne clearing up in the few days I have used this, redness less noticeable and overall my skin seems to have a healthy glow to it. So glad to have trailed this product otherwise I might not have ever found it.

I am definitely a fan of this 3 in 1 product! I have very oily skin and require a face scrub that will help to keep this under control and prevent me looking shiny, this product did just that! My skin felt baby soft after use and I could go to bed with a face feeling clean and fresh. I did not find that it helped dislodge any blackheads (hence why I gave it 4/5) but it did help to mattify my skin.

This is my number 1 facial product, i have it used it throughout all my teens and even no into my adult hood. It is the only product that kept my acne at bay and still does. The packaging is your standard cleanser bottle with a squeeze nozzle at the end. I use this as a daily wash in the shower, ive used it as a maks a handful of times and even then it was great! This product is super affordable and i continue to purchase for all these great reasons!

I purchased this along with the charcoal one to do a comparison.

I love the concept of this product being used for 3 different functions. The blue colour is quite cool and makes for a fun mask. It cleanses and exfoliates well and leaves the skin feeling really really clean. I’m not overly sold on the benefits when using it as a mask, other than extra cleanliness.

Personally I have found this to be too drying on my skin, and using it anymore than once a week, strips my skin leaving it feeling really tight. It’s been great for my teen daughter, but even then she can only use it once or twice a week and has to moisturise really well afterwards.

The 3 in one function attracted me to it. Unfortunately something in this cleansing mask irritated my skin. It’s been palmed off to my man who thinks it’s “an okay cleanser” for his oily skin.

It has 3 uses but i only really used it as a mask and scrub. I left it on to dry and would then gently scrub with water as i rinsed it off. It would leave my skin feeling fresh and clean and i used it till i finished the tube but didn't repurchase it

I have super duper oily skin and this is perfect for people like me. Just be sure not to use it more than once a week or this will dry out your skin. I always have to deeply moisturise my skin after using this.

Pros: A good mask/ scrub that would remove all the dead skin.

Cons: Suitable for oily skin and has a tendency to dry out the skin and make it more oilier in the end
