Garnier Pure Active 3 In 1 Cleansing Mask Review

I was excited to try this product because I have just recently started experiencing some stubborn blackhead breakouts on my forehead. Garnier claims that this product is a 3-in-1 mask, scrub and wash. Personally, I wouldn't recommend to use this as a wash as I felt that it left my skin looking right, dry and redder than before.

However, I did enjoy using this as a mask, and found that it did a good job of reducing my pimples if I left it on as a spot treatment overnight. Again, I did think it was a bit too drying for the whole face but definitely worth trying on active breakouts (if you haven't squeezed them!!)

I probably wouldn't repurchase just because I didn't feel that I enjoyed my experience outside of using this as a spot treatment, but it definitely didn't seem to do any harm and could be good for once a week use if you have a lot of stubborn acne.

This product didnt seem to do alot for my skin. I didnt feel it exfoliated very well and my skin had that slightly tight dryish feeling afterwards. I didn't see any good changes afterwards to my skin, just felt a bit cleaner. I wasnt a huge fan of the texture either. I feel it as just more like a face wash not a 3 in 1.i havent repurchased.

I'm all for an all-in-one product if executed well, but I feel like this product lacked on the cleanser and scrub aspects and felt like purely a clay mask. The application is a little sticky as you would expect a mask to feel when applying it (but with little scrub beads in it). I applied it to a wet face and used it as a scrub/cleanser. It instantly made my face feel really cold because of the Eucalyptus ingrediant. I didnt really like the feeling (some may like it). Its kind of like having Vix Vapor Rub on your face. I rubbed it into my face and then once I went to the rinsing off part it was as difficult as when you try to rinse off a mask - quite a few goes at it before it all came off. My face however did feel very clean after the fact, and didn't feel too dry afterwards. I still always apply a moisturiser anyway. In conclusion I wouldn't buy this again as it was too much mask for me, not enough cleanser/scrub - and also the cold feeling wasn't appealing. They have another all in one product that is based on Charcoal which in my opinion works much better at all 3 of its uses than this one.

As a general rule I love garnier skin products, however this is the exception to that rule.

I had high expectations for this product based on my previous experience with Garnier. This product is advertised as a face wash, scrub and mask.

Face wash: I did not enjoy it for this purpose, the grit makes it too harsh to use twice a day in my opinion and it also strips all the moisture of my skin. It's also difficult to remove which I personally dont like especially of I'm not washing my hair at the same time.

Scrub: I found it to be more effective however would not want to use more than twice a week due to the above drying effects, I have quite oily skin and found it dries it out and because of this my clever skin produces even more oil to compensate which was quite counterproductive!

Mask: No. I did not like this at all. It feels very uncomfortable on the skin when left for more than a few seconds and the smell is overpowering and very chemical smelling. At first whiff I thought it had a cucumber scent but once it was on my face it really bothered me.

Overall, I'm sorry to say I would not reccomend this product, the charcoal version is 100 x better.

I like the packaging, it's clear and not too busy so I can see exactly what they're selling. Directions are also very clear. At first the smell seemed nice but when I put it on my face it smelt kind of like herbs, not in a bad way, it was just something I noticed. The consistency was quite thick which is good if you want to use it as a mask so it won't fall off your face. One thing I didn't like was the tingly, cooling feeling; it felt kinda strange and it lingered even after I washed it off. I used this for just over a week and hadn't noticed much of a difference; maybe I need to use this for longer but I'm not keen as my skin feels quite tight and dry after I use this. All in all I don't think this is a great product for me, if I had oilier skin I would rate it higher.

Unfortunately this product did nothing for my skin! I believe it actually made my skin worse.

For starters the smell is very weird and a bit chemically. Didn't make it nice to use.

It was thick consistency which made the mask element easy to use. I did like that it's 3 in 1. I used it mostly as a wash. I wouldn't say the scrub was very effective.

Unfortunately I would not buy this product again as it didn't have many positives. Hey it could just be my skin that doesn't like it.

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.
