I was lucky enough to be given the opportunity to review Garnier pure active intensive charcoal 3 in 1 as part of the trial team. I was required to use this product twice a day, both morning and evening, concentrating on the T-zone. After using the product as a cleanser twice a day and as a scrub and mask twice a week I noticed a huge difference within the first week. My pores had reduced in size, break outs decreased and my t-zone did not produce excessive sebum. My skin became noticeably c...

I was very excited to try out the Pure Active Intensive Charcoal 3-in-1, that I actually tried it out the night it arrived! I thought the 3-in-1 was a great idea, and seeming that I had not done a mask in about 2 weeks I thought I would try out the mask first, as my skin defiantly needed it.<br />The product smelt refreshing, kind of like a men's perfume (I think cool water lol). When applying the product, a little does go a long way. The colour of the mask is dark and when applying it...

I used this product at night, over the span of a week or so.<br />I absolute love the deep cleansing side of it. it really make my skin feel clean an fresh, and the charcoal actually helps combat oilyness!
I sometimes get reactions to products due to my skin being sentitive, but to my surprise I did not react to this. the beads give a gentle exfoliation that isn't too rough or harsh like other products I've tried. my skin feels refreshed, and has started to clear up already!
the scent i...

After using the Garnier 3 in 1 Charcoal Anti-Blackhead scrub for two weeks I started to notice a difference in my skin. I felt like I wasn't suffering form as may blemishes and my skin was smoother and not as oily.
It comes in a great size squeeze bottle of 150mls which should last at least 1-2 months when using every day. The lid is think sturdy plastic which seals well for no leakage.
It has a rather strong smell, of charcoal with a hint of blueberry extract. It is not a horrible smell e...

Having tried a few charcoal products previously I was keen to trial this new Garnier product. It’s quite a generous size product (150ml) which looks to be available for between $10 - $13 depending on where you buy it. This makes it a very cost-effective competitor in the charcoal based market
I quite liked the packaging, being a squeeze bottle and a flip-top lid. Thanks to the squeeze bottle design I think it will be easy to use the full product
The formula itself has quite...

What I like most about Garnier Pure Active Intensive Charcoal 3-in-1 is its function as a mask. I apply it to my face with a foundation brush (that I no longer use for foundation), and even coating of the thick black product all over, except my delicate eye area, it is too rough for that and not necessary. After a few minutes (usually while sitting on the couch watch some episode of trashy day-time TV), the magic starts to happen and I feel the tightness that I want from a mask. I find it ver...

Overall impression:<br />The Garnier Pure Active Intensive Charcoal 3-in-1 is an excellent cleanser and scrub, and gentle enough to use daily. It left my skin feeling clean, soft and smooth but not irritated. I did not find any long term benefits however, with regards to a reduction in my blackheads, and thus found it unnecessary to use as a mask
Packaging / Cost:<br />I liked the look of the product and the upturned tube made it simple to get the product out even when running low...

I saw results with this after my first use!<br />The blueberry smell of this face wash is gorgeous. The packaging is cute and simple and it literally does what it says on the tube. I have tried it as a face mask and scrub. My skin feels very smooth after washing with the garnier pure active charcoal face wash. I find the scrub to be fine to use as a daily face wash and that's exactly what I do! It makes my skin feel amazingly smooth afterwards and it helps as my make up works better as ...

This is a product I was really keen to try because charcoal has been all the rage as brilliant for your skin. I must say, I really liked the idea of a three in one product, and I like that it feels really nice on the skin, and the exfoliating beads are of a good coarseness to really get in and remove all the build up and gunk from your skin. However, this product is exceptionally hard to wash off. I feel like it sticks to my skin and just doesn’t want to be washed off. It t...

Such an amazing product at an amazing price!
I tend to always buy scrubs as I have an oily t-zone and find they clean my skin better than just a normal cleanser, and this product is one to have on your shelf!
The packaging enables you to control how much product you squeeze out even though a little goes a long way!
Easy to use and apply – with a lovely grit which when you massage into your face, is a lovely tingly sensation.
When I shave my legs, i’ll us...
