Review of Garnier PureActive INTENSIVE spots and blackheads triple action (week 2)

As I had promised to give you guys an update about how the Garnier products are treating me ... this is it. For "approximately" two weeks now I've been using the Garnier PureActive INTENSIVE Daily Gel Wash and the Triple Action care Moisturiser for spots and blackheads. The two products claim to: unclog pores, target spots and blackheads and reduce the appearance of marks which is why I decided to try it out in the first place.




On the back of the gel wash it is stated that if you have oily skin prone to spots and blackheads then pure active daily gel wash is right for you. It further claims are that it helps reduce the appearance of spots and blackheads while mattifying and purifying your skin, and tightening the appearance of pores. Well😏... I don't know, maybe it's still early days for me to be in a position to verify the claims, after all it's hasn't even been a month since I started using the product.

The face wash does mattify I guess, because after washing your face it leaves it squicky clean and dry (which I figure is from the Salicylic Acid) but as soon as you apply the moisturizer the face just gets that moisturized look which is not necessarily if you ask me. I feel like the face wash stripped my face because an hour or less after having applied the moisturizer, some parts of my face become oily and this was not the case when I was using the moisturizer on its own a few days before deciding to buy the face wash too. With pores I haven't really noticed a difference...they are still as visible as I know them to be. I still get blackheads and two to three pimples here and there but it's not drastic and they seem to calm down after a couple of washes and leave less severe marks. Let me remind you again that it's only been two weeks so I have to keep going.

Here are some pictures to see if there's a difference from last week:

Personally, I feel like the pimple marks have faded quite a bit. Even my roommate said that my skin looks better then when we first met in February, she said that it seems to be getting better. 😂 Not as fast as I want it to though. I honestly do see a little improvement on my the darkness of my marks and the severity of my breakouts has decreased. I'm hoping that as I continue to use these products I'll get more noticeable results with time. I plan to post another update next week as I'll be a week away from reaching the first month target.

Until then ...
