Product Review: Pure Active Charcoal Scrub by Garnier

My experience with this product

As this product contains both salicylic acid and charcoal, two ingredients I highly appreciate in my face care products thanks to the good experience I've made, I had high expectations of it. However, I got disappointed in the same way as I did using the Pure System "Daily Exfoliating Cleanser" by Yves Rocher (see last post). The problem is that it really is a coarse scrub. Since the product is supposed to be for daily use, when buying it I expected the scrub to be so fine you wouldn't notice it is one. I presume it is as powerful and effective as the "Daily Exfoliating Cleanser" by Yves Rocher, but I am not sure as I had to discontinue use of it as I really did not like the coarse texture of the product and because it dried out my skin. I sincerely cannot understand how someone could use this every day. In my opinion, this scrub can only be used maximum once per week.

Product Review: L'Oréal Men Expert Hydra Energetic Magnetic Charcoal Cleanser

This may seem strange as I am a woman writing a review on a product for men. However, a male friend of mine was so amazed at the product that he insisted on me to try it, and I was totally amazed with the result. That is why I am only going to describe the advantages to this product - as there are no disadvantages! If L'Oréal could launch the same product for women... I would be its first customer! The only reason why I don't purchase it is that it would feel weird to use a cleanser every day which obviously has a male scent to it.

Advantages
This cleanser was specifically created for people who lead a city life and who are therefore particularly exposed to daily pollution. It really keeps its promise and convinced me of the power of the purifying agent charcoal. The formula acts as a magnet to capture dirt, sweat and impurities. Your skin looks so much clearer after using this cleanser. No shine, no dullness, and the appearance of pores is minimised. And the best part of it: it does not dry out your skin. I am amazed and would recommend this product to all men living in urban areas. Finally, at around £4, it is well worth the money.
