Garnier Pure 3 In 1 Wash Scrub & Mask

I'm onto my second bottle of this stuff, and if something is worthy of a repurchase it is definitely worth a mention!


Garnier Pure 3 in 1  is a wash  scrub & mask all in one product.


'' If you have oily or combination skin prone to imperfections and blackheads, Garnier's first 3 in 1 cleanser eliminates excess sebum, unclogs pores and evens skin tone for clearer skin that lasts.


Now I don't have oily skin, it is quite the opposite actually....dry as a bone springs to mind, but I do get hormonal breakouts on my chin and upper lip area and sometimes blackheads on my nose. I also suffer from flaky patches of skin if I don't exfoliate regularly, so a good face scrub is a daily essential for me.





I was using the Garnier Blackhead Clearing Scrub prior to finding this but the 3 in 1 scrub is way better in my opinion. It is grittier than the blackhead scrub so does a better job of exfoliating my skin. You can see the blue gritty bits in the picture above, which are effective but are in no way harsh on my skin.


Now the scrub contains salicylic acid, zinc and clay, which are usually not the best ingredients to use on dry skin. However, I don't find this scrub drying at all. The blackhead scrub was much more drying to my skin than this one, but I have never used this scrub as a mask. I only use a very small amount, scrub and rinse, so it may be a bit more drying to the skin if used this way.  I have used this scrub each evening for the last 3 months and it has never dried out my skin, although I only use a pea size amount and always give my skin a good moisturise afterwards.



I find the scrub really refreshing and also love the cooling/tingling sensation it gives. It gets rid of any last traces of makeup and gives my face a thorough cleansing. It smells really good too...nice and fresh. My skin just feels amazing when I apply my moisturiser afterwards, so smooth and soft. My skin feels the best it has in a long time actually, and I can't believe it is due to a £5.99 scrub!


Since I started using using this I have hardly had a breakout, and if I have, it is literally an occasional zit. The scrub is doing a great job of keeping my pores clear and has never irritated my skin. I have a lot less blackheads now too. My complexion appears brighter and a hell of a lot clearer. I love this product!
