FAQ

What does an anti-blemish moisturiser do?

The purpose of an anti-blemish moisturiser is to provide comfortable, all-day hydration to skin that's prone to blemishes and oiliness, while targeting breakouts with anti-blemish ingredients. It can be tempting for oily-prone skin types to skip moisturiser at times. But the presence of excess oil or mild acne can actually be an indication that skin is lacking in healthy hydration. To support the skin, apply a lightweight yet nourishing anti-blemish moisturiser daily. And better yet: opt for a moisturiser infused with ingredients for blemish-prone skin, like AHA, BHA, niacinamide and glycerin. Learn more about the benefits of moisturising.

What is a mattifying moisturiser?

Mattifying moisturisers can be a gel, cream or fluid texture, and they contain powerful ingredients to curb excess oil, balance oily skin and maintain a shine-free complexion. For oily, blemish-prone and combination skin, shine can accumulate in the T-zone throughout the day and contribute to blackheads. This can be hard to manage, and can have an effect on how you feel about your skin. Swapping a normal moisturiser for a mattifying moisturiser will help to control shine, keep skin looking smooth and soft, and minimise texture.

Who should use mattifying moisturiser?

A mattifying moisturiser could be right for you if you experience high oil-flow, especially around the forehead, nose and chin. These are common problem areas for those with oily, combination or mild-acne prone skin, and a mattifying moisturiser can help keep shine in check. Mattifying properties are typically provided by AHAs, BHAs and niacinamide, which work to balance oil production, reduce excess oiliness and diminish the appearance of enlarged pores.

    Light texture, refreshing feeling on the skin

    2 years ago
    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Intriguing colour, but beautiful texture and feels great on the skin. I was quite dubious of this product when I took the lid off, I guess because the product is grey! However, the smell is gorgeous and very subtle, and the cream is light and cooling. I applied in onto freshly cleansed skin and is smoothed on leaving a refreshing layer on my skin, that stayed there and felt lovely for quite a while before I got used to the feeling. It does take a little while to dry, so don't use it if you are in a rush to put make up on, give it a good 4-5 minutes to dry off first. I really like it, and of course you don't end up with a grey face! phew!

    Yes, I recommend this product.

    Love this really soft on the skin perfect for day

    2 years ago
    Love this moisturiser! I have had mattifying products before but didn’t expect to see how matte the cream was in the jar when i opened it. Usually creams don’t look matte. At first I was concerned it may have a grey cast because of the charcoal colour so i tested in the night but it was perfectly fine so i now use it in the day too. It makes my skin feel really smooth and clear and it definitely mattifies. This is really nice under makeup too, I love it most for no makeup days when i am just focussing on skincare as sometimes skincare can make you look shiny but this allows me to go out with no makeup on and have smooth flawless skin!!

    Yes, I recommend this product.

    Simply the best!

    5 years ago
    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have tried so many facemasks, clay, peel off, scented, blackhead masks, but garnier are the top of my list when it comes to ease of use and results. My favourite thing about these masks is it seems like they were actually tried and fitted on real faces, everything lines up so you get full coverage and product touches every part of your face. With other masks I find its too small around the eyes, too big around the nose and nothing lines up, this isn't the case with garnier tissue masks. I find they aren't ever heavily scented but the product works so well, my skin feels fresh, clean and soft after using and this is my go to when I need 15 mins to relax.

    Yes, I recommend this product.

    Amazing for Oily Skin

    2 years ago
    This face cream does a superb job of firming and plumping your face, returning your skins elasticity back to a more youthful glow. It has an interesting mineral-like texture that reminds me of a clay mask initially, but smooths out once your have absorbed the product. It forms a firm barrier, hydrating and protecting your skin while giving a range of other benefits including a reduction in dark spots and smoothing fine lines. The mattifying effect is instant without drying the skin, and lasts all and forms an absolutely incredible primer before makeup for people with oily skin like myself, ensuring excess oils don't break through your look and cause movement.

    Yes, I recommend this product.

    Great

    2 years ago
    I received Garnier Pure Active AHA+BHA Charcoal Daily Mattifying Air Cream from community to test and review. I was using it only with evening routine. It spreads easily and absorbs quickly without leaving a greasy feeling. It makes my skin feel really smooth and clear and it definitely mattifies. It's perfect for my skin which its combination, providing just the right amount of moisture without clogging my pores. Since using this cream my break outs have calmed down and my complexion is a lot clearer. My pores are less noticeable and I have fewer breakouts. I’m really happy that I tried this and I would 100% recommend

    Yes, I recommend this product.

    Face feels clean

    5 years ago
    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the tissue masks and this one is no exception. Face feels clean, smooth and refreshed. I have started to get clogged pores particularly around my nose. After one use it has unblocked some but not all but by putting this into my beauty routine I’m hoping to see improvements. The smell isn’t to strong and you have to open the mask carefully as not to rip it. There’s plenty of fluid left in the packet to gently rub into your skin after taking the mask off. The moisture off the mask soaks into your face really well and you can see that from there being barely any left after taking mask off. Would definitely use again.

    Yes, I recommend this product.

    Lovely moisturiser!

    2 years ago
    I was gifted this product as part of the Garnier community to test and I'm super glad that I was as it's earned a place in my skincare routine! I love how lightweight it feels on my skin leaving no greasiness or sticky texture which also means it works well underneath make up without clogging up or defining any pores. I've visibly noticed a difference in my blemishes - I do have acne prone skin so this has helped keep those at bay. I was a little skeptical about the colour at first but it fully aborbs into the skin leaving no black residue. A little bit also goes a long way so this tub will last a super long time!

    Yes, I recommend this product.
