Garnier Pure Active 3 In 1 Cleansing Mask Review

Smells nice like cucumber citrus. This is a multiple use face product and I like it. Multiple use products can save you time and money. This is a scrub mask and face wash cleanser. It has little exfoliating granules made from pumice stone so it is good for the marine environment alot of scrubs are actually plastic granules. Additives in the product are Kaolin clay to fight acne deep clean and clear pores, and purify skin it also reduces skin from oils and sebum has a mattifying effect. There's jojoba oil listed for hydration and globulus leaf extract - like aloe Vera. The product has scientific evidence that you will see Improved skin. On my skin it had a softening effect, slightly firming at first seemed slightly drying but not overly. I didn't have much acne at the time so I cannot really comment specific to improvement there personally but I do know this has salicylic acid and Kaolin which will help reduce it. I would probably buy this product. I noticed a slight cooling sensation in the shower when I used it which is probably the eucalyptus in it. The cooling feeling is not strong though it's gentle so it's slightly invigorating with the cucumber citrus smell with it and exfoliating element and fresh yet still relaxing. I have tried the charcoal 3 in 1 product too and I prefer this one it seems less harsh. In contrast the charcoal one is like a dark grey colour with a different stronger scent and this one is white and seemingly more gentle. I recommend both products for oily blemish probe skin but this one too works in normal and combination skin too.

I have combination skin, more oily T-zone in the summer , but during winter I get more dry patches around my nose, chin and forehead.

Packaging: quite hygienic, squeeze tube with a snap cap/ lid.

Smell: not overpowering, it just smells fresh and a bit minty.

Consistency: cream like and the beads are not to hard and harsh on the skin. I have used this as a mask once a week because my face felt too dry already afterwards, so I didn’t want to do twice per week as per the instructions. However, I have also used this as a daily wash/ scrub when I am in the shower, I even use as a scrub to exfoliate my body. My skin felt/looked healthy/supple afterwards. Compared to other facial scrubs I’ve used, this doesn’t dry my face out when used this way, my facial pores are visibly more refined.

As a busy mum, this is something that I will definitely keep repurchasing when I run out, easy to use and I don’t have to have multiple products . I don’t have time for actual beauty spa/facials, but this will certainly suffice!

I might change up how I use this in the summer time, maybe a combination of daily facial wash and at least scrub twice a week and then possibly just do the mask fortnightly depending on my skin behaves.

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.

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!!

Great packaging on this garnier pure active product! However I think maybe they tried to add too much for one product? Good to use as a weekly exfoliant but I wouldn’t be using everyday for fear for drying out the skin. I have been using the ordinary products daily so this was used inbetween my routine. You only need a little bit of product don’t use too much, the beads gently exfoliate your skin and do not feel harsh, a thick cream cleanser. The scent is similar to other garnier products perhaps it’s the Salicic acid or citric acid slight menthol smell/ refreshing feel afterwards. I would say this product is best for acne skin with lots of breaskouts.

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!

Seeing this on BR bought me back to my high school years, when I would religiously use this and Neutrogena, and I thought it was the coolest ever because they were "expensive" brands... Cringe.

As I remember, I bought this face was because it was *gasp* 3 in 1!? It was a face wash, or a scrub, or a mask! It was actually really cool, I can't say my current face wash is nearly as cool, but it's a lot better smelling. This was kinda medicinal, kinda earthy but it wasn't really that off putting.

I usually just used this as a mask, then when it was dry I would wet it and wash it off, giving me the scrub part, as well as cleaning my face. It was a pretty good mask, too, drying within 10 minutes. My skin was left feeling super smooth, buffed and polished. As I used this daily it took a while (like, my adult years) to realize that this was the reason my face skin was so bloody dry all the time. It is definitely a once a week thing, not an every day face wash.

However, that doesn't put me off from repurchasing, as I know I did several times in my youth. However next time I do buy it, I won't be using it as a mask and scrub - just the mask and then letting the warm water wash it away will be enough exfoliation for me!

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

Garnier pure active 3 in 1 mask is the first clay mask I've ever used and it was surprisingly easy to apply. The smell hit me straight away, the smell of jif. I noticed after applying, my face felt like I had rubbed something minty all over my face and then realised it has eucalyptus in it. Second night of washing my face with this it kind of burnt. It did leave my face feeling super smooth and clean so I will still use this product for that reason. If you have sensitive skin I probably would not recommend this product.
