Garnier Pure Active Intense Charcoal Scrub Review

I have been using this exfoliating scrub for awhile now and I think its fair to say that it definitely is true to its word. The scrub has helped clear my skin from blemishes and blackheads (which I am prone to, especially with daily exercise). My skin looks and feel so great! The exfoliating beads gentle act to scrape away any dead skin cells or sweat/dirt that make be clogging pores, thus helping to clear skin and leave you feeling fresh! Definitely recommend this, especially for those with oily/combo skin.

Love the product, I think the Charcoal addition does do wonders to skin. When I did get to try this product I had just broke out into bad acne on my skin so I couldnt wait to try this product out. It scrubs into skin nicely, leaving skin black, can be messy but in my case I just use a small amount. After using I felt my skin feel quite refreshed and hydrated. After 2 washes I found significant results and ended up getting rid of my acne.

I bought this a few days ago my pimples and spots have already dried up. My pores look a little less open.

I love how this is a wash, scrub and mask in one. The texture is nice not to harsh either. Smells nice and my skin feels great after using it.

Don’t get it on your lips though or in your eyes it kinda stings! Whoops

I like this scrub, i like how it has salicylic acid in it as i have oily acne prone skin. My skin is rough and this leaves it feeling much smoother. I would defiantly buy this product again as it is affordable and does exactly what it says. I use it like every 2nd day in the shower.

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.

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.

This also has a tendency to dry out my oily skin and makes it more oily, so I do not use it more than 1-2 times per week. And everytime I do, I make sure to extra moisturise my skin with a serum followed by a rich moisturiser. This product has a cooling effect to it and I loved that fact. It feels lovely on the during summer. My hubby also love to use this in the summer mornings because of the cooling and wakeup effect it gives.

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!

Now my skin is like the fussy 5 year old that only eats chicken nuggets. It's ultra sensitive and gets irritated at almost everything. I had read a couple reviews on this and didn't see any mention of people getting hypersensitivity or break outs from this, so I didn't even bother patch testing. BIG MISTAKE

This was the perfect scrubby consistency for a facial exfoliater, the charcoal did seem to draw out the toxins from my skin. And then I tried it as the leave on mask, and spread a generous amount over my whole face. It dried completely within 10 minutes and during that time I could talk without feeling restricted. Then I washed it off and used a soft flannel to make sure it was all gone. I felt really clean, like all my pores had been unclogged and the dead skin was lifted off my face.

But the next morning I woke up with lots of little bumps that developed into full blown pimples throughout the day. which itched and felt hot. Really sad because I wanted to love this and it felt so good when using it. By the sounds of it I'm the only one that's hit such a major hypersensitivity reaction too. I guess be cautious if you've very sensitive skin, but it would be a great scrub for those without such picky skin!

I found that this was good at removing the dry skin on my face and cleaning it also and was gentle on my skin. I found that it didn't remove or prevent me from getting blackheads though which was disappointing
