Garnier SkinActive Pure Charcoal Tissue Mask with Black Algae Review

I absolutely love a tissue mask so I was so excited to get this as a trial! I'm not absolutely sold on some of the things it says it does, especially how it says it refines pores, although I'm not keen to write it off completely as it might take a couple of times and also other products from the same range to help it work!

It did make my skin nice and soft and I did like the look of my skin afterwards, but I can't say it really did anything for my pores. My pores aren't overly large but they are still noticable, especially when wearing makeup, so I didn't notice this change at all with the use of the mask.

The smell was really pleasant and I think that the mask fit my face really well and also stayed in place really nicely, so such a plus there! I find others don't stick as well and tend to slide about. There was a lot of serum in the pouch, so there was plenty left to smother on once I was done with the tissue mask. I also really liked the packaging, it was like a matte sort of texture.

So overall, it was a nice mask to use and I would likely use it again, just not for the sole purpose of the skin texture/pores claim :)

I’ve used a tissue mask once before so I kinda knew what to expect but it was still a little weird to start with. So I start with opening the package - which I really liked. Super easy to open, so you’re not sitting there for half an hour trying to tear it open with your teeth. And the colours of the packaging are nice too.

So it’s open and I unfold the slimy mask, trying to figure out the right holes to put my nose and mouth through. It’s chilly and weird to start with but it feels nice, and I think I can feel it working. I take it off, wash off the residue and my skin feels super smooth. It looked nice and fresh and glowing this morning too, will definitely try again

This was an alright face mask. It was packaged well, easy to unfold & had a good amount of moisture. It did leave my skin feeling smooth and hydrated.

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.

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.

I found this mask very easy to use and does not break which is a bonus! The serum that is left on my skin after I have removed the tissue mask feels heavenly and the mask really does help to clear up the odd pimples. I use this mask on average once a week.

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

Got given this as a gift, and I loved it! I have normal/sensitive skin, and it didn't irritate at all and gave me some great moisture

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 very nice and gentle on my skin. I did not get any irritation from this product at all. Very happy. I have purchased more x
