I have normal-dry skin but I have a big issue with those annoying little black dots on my nose. I have tried strips, peel-off masks and also scrubs to remove them but either they didn’t work or my skin didn’t like them. I waa thrilled to be able to try the Garnier Pure Active 3 in 1 mask. Finally something that is light om the purse strings and focuses on grtting rid ofbthose annoyinf blackheads. This comes in an economical 150ml squeeze tube making it easy to control how much you need and minimise wastage. It is easy to apply but can be quitr messy to remove. It made my skin noticeably cleaner and softer AND the little black dots reduced over the 2 weeks I trialled this. I did like the fragrance - It is a clean kind of aqua scent although it did remind me of men’s shower gel. Overall this product does exactly what I wanted it to and worked a treat. It is excellent value and I product I will purchase.

This product more than delivered as promised. I used as a wash twice weekly and a mask once a week, I have blackheads over my nose and chin area so ensured I was especially generous in these areas. This product is minty fresh and definitely reduced the number of blackheads u currently have and seems to have stopped any new ones popping up.
After use my skin felt soft and looked refreshed I had no redness whatsoever, it was however quite messy and I found the shower the nest place to use it..I made the mistake of using it over the sink and made quite a mess due to its black colour so spent more time cleaning the sink then I did cleaning my face.
I love this product and will be buying more once finished thanks for the introduction!
Tips: I found as a mask I needed to leave it on for 10 minutes to get it to.dry proprrly
Garnier charcoal face wash / scrub / mask
My first impression of the packaging were that there was a lot of information, it seemed crowded and complicated but I sat down and read the whole label, it has some pretty big claims - neutralising shine being the main point to spark my I interest, my skin can get quite oily, especially my forehead and chin.
This product is black and inky and has a slightly bitter sweet odour, I was a little apprehensive it would stain my skin but my worries were unfounded.
The product states it can be used as a wash, scrub and face mask, I decided to use it as a face mask once every 3 days for 9 days. I applied all over my face, gently massaging in with my finger tips and left to dry for 5-10 minutes, it is quite gritty. In this time I could feel it tightening quite quickly and by the 7th minuite it was completely dry and very tight, not at all unpleasant, it felt like it was actually doing something. I felt no discomfort.
After washing off the product my skin felt fresh and smooth. The next day, I noticed my makeup applied smoother and my acne had significantly calmed down, in particular I had a couple of blind pimples on my chin and they were no longer painful and had a head on them - like the mask had drawn them out. By the third day my blemishes had virtually gone, I eagerly reapplied the mask that night.
My skin has only gotten better with every day, the effects of the shine control lasts about 2.5 days before my skin gets oily again.
As a mask, I cannot recommend this product more, my skin is the best it's been in years and I have now started using daily in the shower to enhance the effects. If you have oily blemish prone skin, try this product! Especially for this price point and volume, it is unbelievably good value for money and it actually works. 5 stars!
Tips: Let it dry on your face completely.
This product is the best... did what it said it would do by clearing up the oils that my skin produced and clearing up my current family of blackheads on my chin and nose. I washed my face twice a day and have noticed a big change..my face is clearer and feels clearer.. i used it as a mask a few times but preferred it as a face wash.
Tips: Dont leave it on to long and offen as can dye the hairs on face black..
I was so impressed with this product! The packaging is very eye catching, it has a good study cap so the product with not dry out and it has a good weight.
I love that you can use it multiple ways. I have not had any breakouts with this product and it's a new staple in my Skincare regime.
The product is very thick and dark grey in colour.It smells amazing and has exfoliating beads in it. The grit does a good job at exfoliating and is not abrasive. The mask does a good job of absorbing oils, it dries down nicely and it's fast to remove; it leaves my skin feeling very soft and oil free.
This is a brilliant product, I highly recommend. It's very good for oily to combination skin types. But if you added a facial oil or moisturiser to the product someone with dry skin could use this too.

I was super happy to pick this up in the Beauty Vault! I had never used a charcoal product before and had read a lot of great things about this. It comes in a squeezy tube with a flip top lid which I love.
When my usual cleanser ran out I started using this, it says it can be used 3 ways, a scrub, cleanser and mask. I'm unsure what the difference is between a scrub and cleanser when using this as it scrubs every time you cleanse lol.
The consistency is semi thick, it spreads easily and has a very fine grit which gives a great exfoliation. At first it felt quite harsh and it made my skin tingle and had a weird cooling sensation. I thought I was having a reaction but my face wasn't red and after a few uses this feeling was barely noticeable.
The smell is very masculine but as it washes off it doesn't bother me. I like using this in the shower because boy it is messy! A dark grey colour which goes everywhere and stains towels if you don't wash it all off properly. So make sure you give your face a good rinsing. I used it over the sink once and never again lol I made a huge mess and it is too time consuming to clean up.
My favourite way to use this is a scrub, it leaves my skin feeling amazingly soft and smooth, it stops any breakouts and heals any existing ones fast. I have blackheads on my nose mainly and this has helped reduce them significantly, yay! I use this daily and it doesn't leave my skin dry or tight however I do moisturise thoroughly afterwards.
This is a lovely product and I would definitely repurchase once it runs out. Highly recommend this!
This stuff is a must have for those people who don't like to clutter their space with multiple products because it does it all. Firstly I would like to rate the smell on this product, as it was definitely not what I was expecting. Actually I don't know what I was expecting but it was so lovely and fresh, almost slightly minty. It made me feel so awake and fresh and when it comes to face wash in the morning there is nothing better than that feeling. I particularly like the intensity of the scrub, because of the fine beads you can do just as it says, use it as a standard face wash which is gentle of really get stuck in with the scrubbing turning it into a good exfoliator. Lastly as a mask it's fantastic, I always enjoy the feeling of clay type masques as they make me feel like the oil is really pulling from my skin. Over all I was definitely by this again, for the low price point which folk out on 3 more products when 1 can not only do the job of 3 but excel at it!
Tips: Use sparingly, a lot actually goes a long way so resist the urge to squeeze out a hefty amount like I normally do with face washes. Also with the dark colour it will be a bit messy so i use it in the washer mostly.
This is by far the best cleanser I've ever used, I got one in one of the best ever beauty boxes and I've been buying it ever since. Packaging is sleek, the cleanser itself is thick, black and gritty, a little goes a long way. I have oily skin and this dries it out without overdrying and leaves my skin feeling soft and supple. I use it daily as part of my daily skin care routine and even my husband is hooked on it :) It has a lovely smell thats not too overpowering , great price as well!
I seem to be very prone to getting blackheads so i am always looking for a new solution, and this is defiantly a solution for me. It deep cleans my skin really well and leaves it feeling very smooth. I use scrubs about 3 times a week because my skin is very rough. I use this in the shower as it can be messy, but i also use all scrubs in the shower.
This is quite good stuff. Its a good thick consistency so depending how you want to use it, for a wash or scrub start off with a tiny dot then gradually add more if your going to do a mask. Im not fond of the smell but you get that from charcoal or clay so i can handle it. This surprised me i have been using for about 2 weeks now, ill do my face about 2 maybe 3 times depending how oily my skin is but my nose and chin are always prone to blackheads and this did wonders after the first use of this my skin was softer but after awhile my skin was starting to clear up too and i am seeing less black heads. This is good stuff and i will continue to use this. I highly recommend.
Tips: I have to say this may be the biggest tip if your going to use this i recommend using it in the shower as it can get very messy and get black water everywhere lol so USE IN THE SHOWER...
