I have to admit, I was initially drawn to this product because I read that Charcoal is a ‘dirt magnet’. The three hero ingredients in this are: Charcoal – Absorbs oil and excess sebum. Salicylic Acid – Helps to eliminate blemishes, and reduce long-term scarring. Micro Beads – Helps deeply cleanse the skin
The packaging for this product is gender neutral, this product is perfect for women and men...

I was reccomend we this by my waxed and the first time I used this I saw a change. There is a small amount of salicylic acid and the beads and charcoal provide not only a scrub to remove dead skin and build up. It works wonders and I would reccomend it to anyone especially those with dry acne skin. You can use it as a scrub, face wash or even mask.

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...

I don't think there are that many charcoal based facial products on the market at the moment, and this one is especially very black! I know charcoal is a popular ingredient in cleansing products in Japan and Korea and I've come across this one which is just as good.<br />I can only say positive things about this product. It has exfoliating particles that act as a scrub and make my skin feel super clean but is gentle enough for daily use. I absolutely love the tingly feel it leaves on my...

Thank you Beauty Heaven and Garnier for letting me trial the Garnier Pure Active Intensive Charcoal 3-in-1 product.
Overall impressions: This product is an excellent exfoliator for all skin types, and a great mask and cleanser for oily / acne-prone skin.
Cost/packaging: The product is eye-catching with the blue and black packaging, and,at approximately $12, it is very affordable.
How the product smelled: the Garnier Pure Active Intensive Charcoal 3-in-1 product has an initial strong smell ...

I was really intrigued to try this product, as charcoal seems to be all the rage at the moment. I was especially keen to try the product in each way: as a mask, as a scrub and as a face wash. I have a couple of blackheads on my chin and nose, so I was also keen to see if this product would make a difference to my normal to combination skin
I first tried this product as a mask. It is a thick and very opaque product. There is no apparent smell. I applied a layer that was not too thick or thin, ...

Similar to Garnier's other 3 in 1 wash, scrub and mask this intensive charcoal product is only good for 1 use. I like using this product as a charcoal mask as I feel like it really does draw out my impurities and leaves my skin very soft and clean. However using it as a wash and scrub I'm not really enjoying it. It feels kinda...sticky when I use it as a wash and scrub and is harder to wash off the skin. The smell is pretty average, not my favourite scent but also not bad. I guess it would be...

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...

While I have been using the Garnier Pure Active Intensive Charcoal 3-in-1 I have not noticed any difference in my blackheads and I have continued to get pimples. Though it has been hot where I live and I have an active job where I am constantly running around, so I am not surprised I have continued to get pimples. But I was hoping I would see an improvement with my blackheads
When I used the product as a wash/scrub it made my face sting a little bit. When I used it as a mask it made my face s...

First off a huge thank you to bh for letting me trial this product!
Garniers intensive 3-in-1 has easy to use packing which is in a soft and squeezable tube. The scent of this 3-in-1 product smells fresh with a hint of men’s shaving cream which doesn’t bother me at all and is quite pleasant actually! The texture itself I found quite jelly like so a little goes a long way.
I have been using this every night instead of my usual sensitive skin face wash and...
