Garnier Pure Active 3 In 1 Cleansing Mask Review

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!!

The Garnier Pure Active 3 in 1 cleansing mask was unlike any other facial mask I have previously used. The three in one part was really ingenious as you just have to have the one product to do a face mask, a scrub and a facial wash. That aspect was totally handy. Now my face type is normal/dry so I found the mask quite drying and it sucked out majority of the moisture in my face and I had to heavily apply moisturiser a couple times the day after. Using the product as a scrub and a face wash suited my skin type better as it was on your face for less time and found it a lot less drying. Overall I found the face wash and scrub really good but I wouldn't use face mask again as it was too drying on my face for regular use.

I enjoyed using this 3-in-1 product. Mostly I preferred to use it as a scrub/wash, as I felt the effects were more noticeable. I liked the fresh scent and the texture lathered and rubbed in well to my face. The results were a clean but not squeaky clean feeling and noticeable decrease in oiliness around my nose and forehead. Will definitely continue to use and recommend to my friends for great value.

This product had me at "3 in 1"!

Being a full time working mum of two littlies, I don't have time for a full skin care regime with loads of different products, so I was excited to try out this 3 in 1 cleansing mask.

This product offers a cleanser, scrub and mask all in one! It was like my prayers had been answered.

The scrub is gentle enough to use everyday and the mask only needs three minutes to start working its magic on your skin.

I generally use this in the shower to wash off my makeup for the day, I just love the smell of the eucalyptus that leaves your skin feeling fresh and smooth. To use the mask, I apply the product and leave it on while I was my hair (or clean the shower lol) and then wash it off after a few mins. I like the little tingly feeling on my face, to me it means the product is working.

I don't really know what the difference between using this as a cleanser and a scrub is but I have been using it as a scrub on the daily and it has kept my skin nice and smooth.

All in all, this is a great time saving product.

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

•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.

Consistency: Thick with small exfoliating beads. Good consistency for wash, scrub and mask. It dries well as a mask and feels like a regular clay mask (as opposed to a 3 in 1).

Application: Very easy to apply. It spreads well as a mask and can easily be applied using fingers. I noticed that you don't even have to look at a mirror and you can still get full coverage as it spreads well. After it dries you have to carefully wash it all off and it is easy to miss spots if you're not looking in a mirror. As a wash and scrub it is easy to apply all over your face and wash off.

Fragrance: Smells leafy, smell goes away after you wash it off. Makes my face feel minty and refreshed when applied.

Coverage: You don't need to use much if you use it as a wash. As a mask you need to use more - around the size of 2 peas for a thin layer.

Usage: I've been using for over a week with other members of the family using it also. The bottle still feels full. I think it will last a long time.

Price: The price is standard for this kind of wash. Not expensive, not cheap.

Packaging: Standard design, maybe a bit too similar to their other product offerings which makes it harder to find information about the particular product.

Results: Definitely helps to mattify my skin. I've also noticed that my skin doesn't get as oily after using this wash.

I don't think it has helped reduce the impurities on my skin (pimples), the appearance has stayed about the same. The mask however, I believe has made my underlying pimples come to the surface which will help them go away faster. It is okay at exfoliating and gets rid of blackheads. My skin feels soft after use (though it feels as if there is a waxy layer on my skin when I first wash it off; but it goes away quickly).

Recommend: I would recommend it for people with oily skin, but don't expect it to magically get rid of all the impurities on your face. Overall a good wash.

This product comes in a generous size that will last quite a while. It looks fresh, has lots of information on it and lets you know the three different ways of using it on the back.

The consistency of this product is a thick white paste with obvious particles that serve as an exfoliant. The smell is fresh, with the eucalyptus reminding me of fresh lemongrass.

The three different uses differ in the way that you apply it. I found that the face wash and exfoliant were much in the same, so would classify this as having two uses rather than three. Even with a wet face, and wet fingertips to thin out the paste it was still exfoliating my face.

After using this product my face was smooth without being overly dry. I look forward to seeing the long term benefits of continued use.

Background to my skin type - I am 26 years old with oily/combination/normal skin that is prone to the occasional breakout. I get blackheads in my chin sometimes, but not often.

The product is a white/grey colour with blue bits throughout. It has a thick consistency with little natural exfoliating particles in it. It has a manly/minty scent to it, but the smell goes away once you've washed it off. It contains eucalyptus extract, zinc, and salicylic acid which are all good for clearing up pimples.

I've now been using this product daily for around two weeks on my face, chest, and shoulders. Although I've only used this wash a short amount of time, I have noticed some improvements in my skin since using this product. I seem to have less breakouts recently and my face also seems to be a little less oily. However, my favourite part about this product is how fresh it smells. It's really nice to use on hot days, as it makes my face feel cooler and its great for a deep cleanse.

This is meant to be a 3 in 1 product, but I think that's a bit of a gimmick as there's really only two ways to use it. It's supposed to be used as a wash, scrub, and mask however the wash and scrub method are basically the same thing. There's no real way to only use this as a wash without it also being a scrub, since it's full of little exfoliants.

The mask aspect of this product was very effective and did properly dry down. This could be due to clay component of the mask. I would only use this as a mask once a week though, as I don't want to strip my skin of its natural oils and leave my skin too dry.

Overall I enjoyed this product. I didn't notice any improvements in blackheads, but I only get small amounts of them anyway. I'll definitely continue to use this until the tube is empty. I wouldn't recommend this if you have dry skin, but give it a go if you have combination/oily skin!
