Let’s be honest – many of us are lazy when it comes to skincare. Who wants to spend an hour and about 10 products just to have clear skin? Having pimples doesn’t seem so bad when you think about all the effort you have to put into your skincare routine. However, there are products that make skincare as easy as 1,2,3. I’m talking about 3 in 1 products and particularly, the Garnier PureActive 3 in 1 Wash, Scrub, Mask.
I’m a big fan of products that do more than one thing. They’re not only cost-effective but also time-saving. Since I fall in the percentage that would rather have pimples than spend more than 10 minutes on skincare, such products are a lifesaver for me.
I’ve been using the Garnier PureActive 3 In 1 Wash, Scrub, Mask for as long as I’ve had a consistent skincare routine. I found that it was highly effective in catering to my skin type, and sorting breakouts quickly.
The Product
This product is specially made for oily skin prone to imperfections. I feel like that perfectly describes my skin type. I have fairly unproblematic skin but if I go for days without skincare, then problems arise. The Garnier PureActive 3 In 1 Wash, Scrub, Mask works well for me since it caters to all my skincare needs. It contains Eucalyptus extract, salicylic acid and zinc which offer a deep cleanse. According to the manufacturer, they “remove excess sebum and eliminate impurities”. Further, it contains pumice volcanic rock that acts as a natural exfoliant and white clay that purifies the skin. The product is white in colour with a slightly rough texture that glides easily giving the skin a gentle exfoliation. The eucalyptus extract gives it a mild, fresh scent.
You can use it as a daily cleanser but if you don’t have excessively oily skin, you can use the product 2 to 3 times a week and it will still be effective. If you have sensitive skin, you don’t have to worry about irritation since the product contains natural ingredients.
Once it dries, you can feel it tighten the skin and it becomes solid. If you use it as a mask, leave it on for 3 minutes then rinse thoroughly with cold water. It leaves my skin feeling silky smooth and refreshed every time I use it.
The Package
Most Garnier products have a similar look. They’re not big on aesthetics but that doesn’t mean that they’re not attractive. The Garnier PureActive 3 In 1 Wash, Scrub, Mask comes in a sleek, white and blue tube that’s both durable and easy to use. The cover fits tightly to ensure that it doesn’t come off in case you carry it while travelling. Speaking of travelling, the package is quite compact so it will fit well in your travel bag or overnight bag.
There are instructions, ingredients, and other manufacturer’s information written on the package to guide users.
The Verdict
I highly recommend purchasing the Garnier PureActive 3 In 1 Wash, Scrub, and Mask whether you want a product that offers multiple skincare benefits or you’re simply a lazy skincare enthusiast like me. I have religiously used this product for years and I have nothing negative to say about it. It’s simply perfect. You can get the Garnier PureActive 3 In 1 Wash, Scrub, and Mask on Jumia for Ksh. 900.
