Hi all! In the Ruble Boom store, my attention was drawn to an acne remedy with an ultra-cleansing effect.
I couldn’t pass by, because... Unfortunately, my skin is problematic in places. The bottle, made of white hard plastic, is quite weighty (I would like something more sleek). The lid is transparent bluish with holes. Underneath is a white brush consisting of soft rubber micro-bristles.
.
Their touch is very pleasant for the skin of the face. In the middle of the brush there is a dispenser hole. The jar has very detailed instructions in pictures, explaining how to use the gel and what to do to remove it from the bottle.
When I first got acquainted with the opening system, I was a little embarrassed by the need to unscrew the lid 180*, but then it stopped annoying, because... it's become automatic =)
When rubbed with a brush, it forms a light white foam on the skin. The smell of the product is specifically menthol, similar to the smell of shaving foam. But this is not yet a reason to be upset, because... The gel is unisex and, moreover, the smell on the skin does not last long after washing off the gel. The composition contains a lot of chemistry (well, where would we be without it?) =) The result promised by the manufacturer from the use of the ultra-cleansing gel: “Thanks to blueberry extract and salicylic acid, acne, blackheads and excess sebum are reduced.”
The product is offered for daily use and promises that the gel is suitable even for sensitive skin. My skin is combination (closer to dry) with greasy “islands” on the wings of the nose, on the skin next to the nose and on the chin, where pimples and blackheads accumulate. For two weeks (but not every day), I applied the gel specifically to these areas of the skin, after wetting them (manufacturer’s advice). Since salicylic acid dries out the skin (and this is one of the ways to get rid of acne), after washing off the gel, I applied a little moisturizer. But maybe I was overzealous when rubbing the gel on the skin or didn’t rinse the brush enough after the next use, but inflammation appeared on my chin and. A new pimple is “born”! It is clear that if there are fresh inflammations on the skin of the face, then you cannot use such a brush - you risk spreading this trouble all over your face and getting a new set of pimples ((. And the black dots on the nose and nearby, even after using the gel, “impudently” stuck out in their places ! It would be more useful to remove them if you choose a suitable scrub. But the proposed brush, in my opinion, cannot perform this function due to the softness of the bristles. It makes a good facial massage. Here is one more detail - when washing off the product, do not allow it to get into eyes. Salicylic acid, even diluted with water, irritates the mucous membranes. For me, this purchase turned out to be a waste of money =( I will not recommend the gel as an ultra-cleansing agent for acne and blackheads. Nor will I discourage you from buying it, because perhaps it’s my skin turned out to be so capricious, but will it be useful for someone? You can experiment. But the volume is too large for an experiment - 150 ml. Half would be enough. Good luck with your experiment
/ easy to use brush
/ on my skin it didn’t cope with pimples or blackheads / it can dry out the skin / I think that the price is too high (relative to the result that was not obtained)
Anti-acne gel “Clean Skin Active” from Garnier is one of the most popular products, which already has many positive reviews. Although there are a lot of negative words about this product.
Let's try to figure out how this gel can be useful for treating teenage acne, and how quickly you can get rid of acne if you use it every day.
Attention! Use only for oily skin!
Compound
The composition of the gel is simple - it is salicylic acid and a phytocomplex, although the manufacturer does not specify what it contains. So it is impossible to give the exact composition of this gel. Maybe one of the readers can do this?
Salicylic acid is an excellent remedy for fighting acne and acne. But it helps only at the initial stage of acne, when only a few pimples appear on the face. This means that with acne of the second, and even more so the third degree of severity, this gel will be completely useless.
Also on the packaging there is information that the composition contains blueberry extract . This berry has not only antioxidant but also anti-inflammatory effects.
Composition of the series products
To combat acne, Garnier specialists offer two series of cosmetics - Clean Skin and Clean Skin Active. These are specialized products, the composition of which is specially selected for complete care of problem skin. It contains the following ingredients:
- Oils (eucalyptus, castor, jojoba, passion fruit).
- Plant extracts (blueberry, eucalyptus, menthol).
- Mineral components (kaolin, zinc spar, smithsonite extract, perlite, charcoal, pumice, copper pyroglutamate, zinc gluconate, pigments).
- Organic acids (salicylic, citric).
- Fragrances (citral, geraniol, eugenol, citronellol).
- Vitamins (tocopherol).
Most of these components are of natural origin, which makes Garnier products high quality, safe and popular. Of course, the composition also contains other substances necessary to create a cosmetic form (emulsifiers, stabilizers, moisture-retaining agents, etc.), but they are completely harmless to the skin and the body as a whole.
Garnier products for fighting acne on the face are high-quality cosmetic products from a well-known global brand.
What does the manufacturer promise?
Ultra-cleansing gel with anti-acne brush from Garnier is a unique development. With regular use, it is possible to achieve deep cleansing of the facial skin, eliminating acne, pimples and blackheads on the nose. But dealing with them is not so easy.
The first thing the manufacturer pays attention to is efficiency. The gel copes well with acne, excess sebum, and most importantly, removes all dead skin particles.
The second thing the manufacturer of this gel with a brush reminds you of is practicality and hygiene in use. In this case, you will touch your face not with your hands, but with the bristles, which after use must be rinsed under running water.
Third, comfortable and efficient use. The brush not only opens and cleanses the pores, but also provides a light facial massage, which significantly increases blood flow. This means it will be much easier to get rid of acne this way.
Garnier Chit Leather Active
First, I purchased this particular product from Garnier and decided to try this cleansing gel. Moreover, on the packaging there was bold text that the gel is suitable for those girls who want to deeply cleanse their pores and get rid of impurities deep in the pores and give their skin beauty.
That same evening, after purchasing, I decided to use Garnier Clean Skin Active gel. I will say, yes, I liked it the first time. After some time, probably about a week, I noticed an improvement in my skin. The gel really cleanses pores well and prevents the formation of pimples and their marks. I was delighted, I thought that it had become my favorite skin care product forever. But soon I decided to try, so to speak, an “improved” model of this gel.
How to use
This gel, which is used against acne “Clean Skin Active” from Garnier with the original brush, should be used twice a day.
First of all, you need to squeeze a small amount of gel onto the brushes. Then bring the brushes to your face and start massaging the skin. This must be done very carefully, do not press too hard and avoid causing pain.
It is recommended to massage the skin for no more than a couple of minutes. Afterwards, wash off the gel from your face, dry your skin and apply your usual cream.
Garnier Clear Skin Active, ExfoPro
This is the same Garnier Chitsaya Skin Active gel, only with an innovative brush that consists of 170 elastic bristles.
I liked this cleansing gel much more, because the ultra-effective, but soft and elastic bristles exfoliate dead cells on the surface of the skin and eliminate imperfections. After several days of use, as with the previous effectiveness of the cleansing gel, I noticed that there were an order of magnitude fewer blackheads and sebum production also decreased. The acne marks gradually disappeared.
Flaws
Perhaps the main disadvantage is the high price compared to other products that have a similar composition.
Other disadvantages include:
- To achieve results, you need to use it twice every day - morning and evening. Some people may not like it.
- If used on dry and sensitive skin, you may experience a tight feeling.
- Addiction. If you use salicylic acid to treat acne for a long time, it will simply stop working.
So be careful, especially if your skin is dry or sensitive. In this case, you can do more harm than good to yourself.
How to use Garnier Clear Skin Active, ExfoPro:
I would like to describe step by step how to use this gel.
- Wet your face.
- Then you need to remove the cap and turn the nozzle. Then adjust the bristles, holding the bottle upside down, you need to press on it so that the product comes out.
- Return the nozzle to the closed position. Apply the product to a damp face using circular movements using the bristle attachment.
- Then thoroughly rinse the product off your face and rinse the nozzle completely.
I liked both cleansing gels. Both of them do their jobs very well. For those who need deeper cleansing, it is better to use Garnier Clean Skin Active ExfoPro with an elastic brush. Those whose skin conditions are much better can limit themselves to Garnier Pure Skin Active. At the moment I have both products and alternate them as needed, which is what I wish for you!
And remember, clear skin with Garnier is so easy!

How Inblanc changed my life
Hi all! My name is Marina, I am 23 years old, and I am the mother of a charming daughter. But my motherhood is overshadowed by one unpleasant circumstance - every day in the mirror I see ugly pigment spots on my cheeks and forehead.
I tried everything I could to get them out! I tried both celandine and chamomile, and even signed up for chemical peeling, but thought better of it in time.
And then somehow my husband, quite by accident, came across this amazing article on the Internet, which described milk for the treatment of age spots. And knowing about my problem, without saying anything, I ordered this product.
I received my unexpected gift literally a week later. And on the very first day I smeared the hated spot on my forehead and a couple of spots on my cheeks 5 times a day. I don't think it was much - the hyperpigmentation on my face was too strong.
This went on for a week. And literally on the 10th day from the start of use, it began to seem to me that my spots began to lighten. I immediately questioned my husband, and he confirmed my joy. And to accurately confirm my guess, I went to my friend. And do you know what she said?
- What happened to your spots? They are no longer so noticeable, my dear! Let me try to cure my freckles with this drug!
I showed her website, where I first read about Inblank after my husband ordered it for me. And then we placed an order with her here.
Surprisingly, Inblanc has made my motherhood even more wonderful, and now I am actually happy!
Inblank against hyperpigmentation
Hello! Not long ago I went to the dermatologist because a dark spot appeared on my cheek. The doctor told me that this was increased pigmentation and advised me not to get too upset.
The beach season is starting soon, and you really want to be beautiful! And then such a misfortune! I didn’t believe that nothing could be done about this spot and went to read about what hyperpigmentation is on the Internet. More precisely, I wanted to know only one thing - how to get rid of this scourge.
And quite by accident, I read this article, which described in detail and with reviews an amazing product - Inblank cosmetic whitening milk.
I had never used this drug before, but decided to try it. I ordered one bottle to try. And I was right!
I started smearing my unattractive spot 5 times a day, each time after washing my face. I approached the treatment according to all the rules, because I really wanted to get the desired result.
And you know, my efforts were crowned with success! After a week, the spot began to lighten. After three weeks it decreased in size. and then it was time to order a second bottle of milk for age spots Inblanc, which I did.
As a result, now my skin is completely clear, and only a small reminder of the stain remains. But I continue to use this product and would never trade it for anything else!
How I got rid of acne
My name is Elena and I am 20 years old. My first pimple appeared at the age of 14 and since then I have learned all the delights of this disease. But for a year now there hasn’t been a single pimple on my face. And the whole secret lies in the unique drug Aknelocin.
If you had seen my face 5 years ago, you would have been simply horrified! There were all kinds of pimples - big and small, they were everywhere. I was ashamed to go out. I was treated with available folk methods - chamomile and celandine. They didn't help as much as I would have liked.
I developed complexes, my mother tried to help me, but the acne didn’t want to go away. It seems that I have already come to terms with my problem. And I even learned to live with acne.
But one day a friend of my mother came to visit us. And seeing the terrible state of my face, I was very surprised that we still haven’t bought an amazing product. She gave us its name - and that’s how I learned about Acnelocin. I read reviews about it and decided to try it.
How do they work against acne?
Each product included in the series of cosmetics for problem skin has a certain set of qualities. At the same time, there are basic properties inherent in all anti-acne products. The main effects include:
- Cleaning.
- Antiseptic.
- Anti-inflammatory.
Products from the Pure Skin line are designed for daily step-by-step care for problem skin prone to acne. They are designed to qualitatively cleanse the epithelium of impurities and sebaceous secretions, while penetrating the pores and removing blackheads.
The main ingredient of anti-acne cosmetics is salicylic acid, which inhibits the development of the inflammatory process and has antiseptic and healing properties. In addition, it softens the stratum corneum of the epithelium, promoting the further removal of dead cells.
The Pure Skin Active series contains products with a more pronounced therapeutic effect, which fight both the preconditions of acne and act on the inflammatory elements themselves. They not only remove blackheads and oily shine, but also reduce the severity of formed acne and promote their reverse development.
