Very Good

This scrub is very good. It leaves your skin feeling very fresh and clean. The charcoal does not feel to rough. Overall consistency is gel-like so it is easy to use. The exfoliants leave the skin feeling incredibly soft.

Blackheads - There is a visible difference IMMEDIATELY after using this scrub. The amount of blackheads decreases and remaining ones turn white and become easy to squeeze out using your fingers.

Garnier Pure Active Intense Charcoal Scrub

I was intrigued by the 'Charcoal' scrub as I hadn't seen any other product before with it.

I am in love with this product. It has been awhile since I had a good face scrub product that leaves my skin feeling fresh and also clean. Previous products I had felt like it left a layer of oil on my face but after using this my face just feels "brand new". I use this in conjunction with the Garnier Deep Pore Unclogging gel wash to get best results.

Unfortunately, it doesnt get rid of my blackheads - it would have been a miracle cure if it has as I haven't found anything that could battle them but it does make my skin soft and smooth, I dont have as many blemishes and also dulls my shine - so a great product!

Have you tried Benzoyl Peroxide for your blackheads? That cleared up years worth of blackheads for me practically over night :)

Garnier Pure Active Intense Charcoal Scrub

I love scrubs, and I love cheap scrubs - compared to all my other skincare products, Garnier always comes out the cheapest. It isn't your normal supermarket scrub (that normally doesn't do anything) - it actually scrubs down all your dead skin, and if you scrub more than needed, your face will instantly become red.. but not a dry, scratched up red, but a new skin glowing kind of red. I love using this, but it definitely isn't an every day scrub; would be good to use 3-4 times a week at night before bed. I also didn't feel that it got rid of any black heads.

Tips: You only need to use a small amount, and you definitely shouldn't use it everyday. I think you should put on a nose strip after usage to really get rid of your black heads.

Deserves a place in beauty emergency kit

This has been a life saver for me l had my skin undercontrol with Oasis products few months before my wedding. Then bam two weeks out (think due to Ozzy holiday que heat ) major flare up of whiteheads and red pimples. I saw on forum someone mention this scrub (thank you) checked out reviews and thought I need to try this. I had used Garnier as a teen and I liked it. Plus its made in France , how many low cost skincare products are made in France.

The scrub has a gentle fresh fragrence, a large number of scrub particles of the plastic bead type variety, its not the charcoal that scrubs.

I don't know if charcoal is the magical ingredient as all my washes have the sacyalic acid in but Wow over night my acne had signs of improvement and skin super soft.

This stuff is a true gem, anyone with break outs please try.

Tips: You need to use a fair amount else you dont get enough froth and its a bit harsh.

gentle on sensative skin!

I have very sensitive skin and this scrub is perfect for it! I do not react to it at all! and the best part is it actually works! After using it for a week I can see a big difference all ready, I have less backheads around my chin and nose area aswell as less pimples sprouting on my face when they're not wanted. Or if I do get the one on the odd occasion, this face scrub fights it right away! The tube is a great shape and makes it easy to control how much product you are getting out at a time, this is great especially if you don't want to waste it!

Skin care at its best!

This scrub is amazing. You can feel it scrubbing away all of your dead skin, and it leaves your skin feeling soft and clean. The charcoal is a wonder ingredient because it absorbs all of your impurities and leaves you looking fresh. It has really cleared up my skin, specifically my blackheads, and I would totally buy this again!

Skin Saviour!

This scrub by Garnier is my holy grail for my skin! It works so well to exfoliate your skin and clear dirt and blackheads. Before i began using this scrub i had bumps and blackheads all over my chin! This scrub began to clear these up so quickly! The charcoal in the scrub has also helped with my oily skin by decreasing my oil production. I use this scrub everyday and it doesn't irritate my skin at all. I will continue to purchase this scrub forever as it has saved my skin!

I use this product at night time as I use the morning burst cleanser in the morning. This scrub washes the day off my face and leaves my skin feeling soft and blemish free. This scrub has also reduced the amount of oil on my t zone which has lead to less breakouts. The added charcoal works better than their usual facial scrubs! I was worried at first about the little bits in the scrub as I have quite sensitive skin but this product didn't cause me to have a rash, reddened skin or any reaction at all. I love this product! I will continue using it until my skin stops breaking out!

Tips: it helps get rid of blackheads but using this and another blackhead removing product such as the blackhead strips would probably work faster to help get rid of them.

Garnier Pure Active Intense Charcoal Scrub

I love this product soooooo much. I have been forever trying out different exfoliators for my skin to get rid of acne. This scrub does what it says it would do in the packaging. This product is my holy grail product, loved it from day one. The exfoliating beads work on removing blackheads, dead skin cells and what-not and leaves your skin feeling amazing and smooth. After a few days i could definitely see a major improvement in my skin >~<

Tips: Apply moisturizer after you have used this product.
