Fabulous . Love the standing bottle with pump. The design and wording and colour of branding is very appealing and nice. Even my teenager is using it too. Tje smell is lovely and fresh. Smells manly fragrance but that doesn't matter. . It's the WONDERS it does to my sk8n. My whiteboards cleared. Blackheads gone. No excess serum on face or oily face No adult acne popping up. Love it. Esp. With the cream that was sent with this cleanser .it deeply moisterises after the lovely foamy wash on face. I love that u only need a tiny squirt of 10 cent coin on wet hands n it creates loads foam when rubbed on face. I am very happy with this charcoal wash . It's not a tube one.but one that I cam press on to dispense

Yes, I recommend this product.

Amazing for breakouts

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is such a good face wash if you suffer with blemish prone skin. Ive been using this now for a week and i have recently been having a few breakouts that haven't been going away. Honestly after a couple of days of using this i noticed my skin was looking alot clearer and after a week its completely cleared my blemishes, i was very impressed with the results. You get a really good size bottle and only have to use a tiny amount for it to clean your whole face so it will last you ages and when you wash your face with it you get that super vlean tingly feeling which i personally love. I will definitely be gwttjng this again.

Yes, I recommend this product.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Garnier Anti-Blackhead BHA Charcoal Face Cleanser worked so well for my skin and really helped reduce my blackheads, especially around my nose and chin. It did take around two or three uses, but it has really reduced my acne with each use without drying my skin out. The application process was easy and the cleanser itself lathered really well. I was able to add it into my routine easily as it didn’t contain anything that didn’t go well with my other products or cause any irritation. Overall, I would say this is one of the most efficient cleanser I’ve used as it gave me the most result so I definitely recommend it!

Yes, I recommend this product.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Garnier's Anti-Blackhead BHA Charcoal Cleanser is a game-changer for my skincare routine. The powerful combination of BHA and charcoal effectively targets stubborn blackheads and unclogs pores, leaving my skin feeling deeply cleansed and refreshed. I love how gentle yet effective it is, and after just a few uses, I noticed a significant improvement in the clarity and smoothness of my complexion. Plus, its mattifying properties help control excess oil throughout the day, giving me a fresh, matte finish. Highly recommend for anyone looking to combat blackheads and achieve clearer, healthier-looking skin.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Clearer and Healthier Skin!

AnaSo

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been using the Anti-Blackhead BHA Charcoal Daily Face Cleanser at least once a day for the last week and can already seen a difference in my skin. I had oily skin with a few blackheads and a very noticeable blemish that I have been trying to get rid off for a few months. Since start using the cleaner the blemish is almost gone, I saw a reduction in the amount of blackheads and my skin looks brighter, cleaner and healthier! The product is very easy to use, it is initially black but once rubbed into the skin it becomes a white foam that comes off easily. I would recommend it to family and friends!!

Yes, I recommend this product.

Great charcoal cleanser

Ehra055

Left my skin feeling refreshed and cleaned. Only need small amount and it lathers well. It has a cooling effect which feels great after use. It does not leave charcoal mark. Only thing is, my face feels tight a bit after use but in a good way. I think I need moisturizer after use. I would definitely recommend this product to others and is quite affordable. Will definitely buy this product.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Garnier PureActive BHA Purifying

Steven4

This cleanser is a great option for blemish-prone skin. The BHA (Salicylic Acid) and Charcoal effectively reduce blackheads and purify pores without over-drying. The recycled plastic bottle is a nice eco-friendly touch. While the scent might not suit everyone, and the pump can dispense too much, it’s a reliable, gentle cleanser for daily use.

Yes, I recommend this product.
