My Experience with Garnier Pureactive Intensive Charcoal Scrub:

Packaging: The scrub comes in a semi-transparent tube in white, red and blue. The tube is inverted which makes it very easy to place the tube near my basin. The tube has a flip cap which closes with a click so there is no chance of the scrub squeezing out. It is a little bulky but can be easily carried during travels. The hole in the tube easily lets out the needed quantity. So the packaging is definitely flawless. It also has the instructions written in a very detailed and a clear manner.

Consistency, smell and feel on the skin: The scrub is a clear one with grey and black scrubby bits. The consistency has more of a gel texture which is pretty gooey. The scrubby bits are perfect as a scrub; neither too harsh nor too gentle. It might feel a little harsh for sensitive skin but I love harsh scrubs, so I am in love with it. It feels very exfoliating on my skin and I can feel that it is cleansing my skin extremely well. It has a lovely icy peppermint smell which soothes and relaxes my senses. It gives a very nice cooling sensation on my skin while scrubbing which refreshes me and wakes me up. The scrub creates a nice creamy lather which cleans the skin and the granules exfoliate my skin.

Results: My skin instantly looks fresher and brighter whenever I use this scrub. I can touch and feel that my rough skin surface is gone and it feels a lot smoother than usual. My skin looks healthier and bouncy. I got a very subtle glow on my face after using this which looked very natural. It gets rid of all the impurities, sebum and excess shine. It leaves my face matte and the oil does not gush up on my face for the next 3-4 hours. I could see some acne which means the salicylic acid was not completely effective but the break outs were reduced. It took a long time to fade my blemishes and acne marks, they weren’t gone completely but they seemed to have faded to a good extent. But the results are very slow and I was actually losing my patience level :-P. But overall, it worked really well for my skin type and I do recommend it to people having skin like mine.
