Why charcoal may become your new skin care staple
Here’s what our Review Crew® members thought of this multitasking skin care product
The product
It’s no secret that charcoal has built itself quite the reputation for its ability to detox skin and draw out impurities. Garnier Pure Active 3-in-1 Charcoal takes this a step further and simplifies your skin care routine by tripling as a wash, scrub and mask in one. It has been specifically formulated to target imperfection-prone skin, reduce shine and eliminate blackheads to clear the complexion.
Our panel of Review Crew® testers put this product to the test.
The panel
Beauty Crew sent Garnier Pure Active 3-in-1 Charcoal to a panel of women and men aged between 18 and 30 with skin that’s prone to spots and blackheads.
The lowdown
Here’s what the Review Crew® loved about the Garnier Pure Active 3-in-1 Charcoal:
How the product helped tackle imperfections: A majority of the Review Crew® testers reported that many of their breakouts and blemishes cleared after regularly using this product, with some noticing a minimised appearance of pores after a few weeks. Members also found their oily skin was more controlled, without leaving it feeling dry or tight.
How refreshed it left their skin: Members found that the formulation left their skin feeling fresh and clean. Some testers commented on the deep clean the exfoliating beads gave, which left their skin feeling smooth, soft and revitilised.
How versatile it was: A majority of Review Crew® testers enjoyed the ease of use and versatility of this product, specifically how it simplified their skin care routine. Many praised the benefits of having one product like this that offered multiple possibilities for their skin care routine.
Good to know: Some reviewers did mention that due to the rough consistency of the exfoliating beads, they were using it between 2-3 times a week, rather than every day.
This may not be for you if… you have sensitive skin. If your skin is prone to reactions and redness, we recommend conducting a patch test on your skin 24 hours before trialling any new skin care product.
