Garnier ultra-cleansing gel with brush

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 confused by the need to unscrew the lid 180*, but then it stopped annoying, because... it's become automatic =)

The gel is quite liquid and transparent with a bluish tint.

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 chemicals (well, where would we be without it?) =) The result promised by the manufacturer from using 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 applying the gel, “impudently” stuck out in their places! It would be more beneficial to remove them if you choose the right scrub. But the proposed brush, in my opinion, cannot perform this function due to the softness of the bristles. She gives a good facial massage
Here's one more detail - when washing off the product, do not let it get into your eyes. Salicylic acid, even diluted with water, irritates the mucous membrane.
For me, this purchase turned out to be a useless waste of money =( I will not recommend the gel as an ultra-cleansing agent for acne and blackheads. Nor will I dissuade you from buying it, because perhaps it was my skin that turned out to be so capricious, but for someone else it will be useful ?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
/ can dry out the skin
/ I think that the price is too high (relative to the result 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!

Package

Anti-acne gel “Clean Skin Active” from Garnier is not just a tube of liquid. This is a package that not only has an original shape, but also a brush under the lid.

These brushes are very soft and ideal for treating the skin on the face. They will be especially useful for the forehead, nose and chin, where pimples and blackheads appear most often.

Consistency

The Garnier Ultra Cleansing Gel Anti-Acne Brush has a pleasant consistency. It is thick, squeezes out in a minimal amount, but this is quite enough for washing at one time.

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 – an excellent remedy for combating 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.

The packaging also contains information about what it contains. blueberry extract. This berry has not only antioxidant but also anti-inflammatory effects.

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 truly 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 here is 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.

We were able to purchase the product without any hassle, and at an attractive price. And most importantly, after 2 weeks of daily use, I began to notice that my acne began to not only decrease in size, but also disappear.

As a result, by the end of the full course of treatment there was not a single pimple left on my face. And now for a whole year I don’t know what acne is.

Now I advise all young people with problem skin to use Acnelocin. And even though many people believe that acne can be cured with iodine or brilliant green, only this amazing medicine helped me!

Good day everyone!

I, like many other people, know first-hand what acne is. I have combination skin, which is also familiar to many. The most problematic areas: nose, forehead and chin. As a result, there is a constant struggle with blackheads and periodically “popping” pimples. I have tried many different products, there are even some that I prefer more than others.

But my curiosity never lets me rest, so I constantly buy something new. Deep down, I still hope that someday I will find the ideal remedy that can get rid of acne and blackheads forever.

This time I decided to try the Garnier Ultra Cleansing Gel with Acne Brush. I bought it on Wildberries at a discount for 285 rubles. Yandex-Market suggests that the lowest price in my region is 306 rubles, and the average is 389 rubles. Far from the cheapest remedy.

Briefly about the product. The manufacturer promises that the gel:

- Reduces sebum production.

- Reduces acne and acne marks.

— Eliminates even hard-to-reach stains (thanks to the brush).

— After washing with the gel for 1 month: acne is reduced by 79%, acne marks are reduced by 57%.

— After two weeks of use, Garnier suggests that acne and acne marks are simply noticeably reduced.

I started testing this product a little over a month ago. I wanted to quit after just a week, then after two. But I still decided to use it for a whole month, in the hope that the effect would become noticeable. And now I turn directly to impressions and results.

The advantages that I found after a month of daily use:

— refreshes the skin and gives smoothness;

— immediately after washing there is no “greasy shine” on the face, but after a couple of hours... (more on this in the disadvantages);

— washes away dirt well, for example, foundation residues;

— good composition for the skin (blueberry extract, salicylic acid);

- helps dry out inflammation a little;

— it seems... the skin color has evened out a little and the marks from old pimples have decreased.

Now about the shortcomings, which, unfortunately, turned out to be more numerous:

— Does not get rid of blackheads.

- Does not fight the appearance of new acne.

— It flows down the skin, which means it can get into the mouth and eyes.

— “a continuation of the positives.” When you wash your face with the gel, your skin is really tightened and there is no oily sheen. But literally After an hour or two, sebum production increases significantly. In my case, in areas prone to oiliness (nose and forehead), everything is covered with a thin film of “fat”. Those. it gets worse than it was.

- Slightly stings the eyes.

- Doesn't wash off well. Continued rinsing of the face with water is required to completely remove the gel.

— The brush is too soft.

— The sterility of the brush attachment is questionable. It is recommended to wash with water, but I still washed with soap, since I didn’t want to “smear” accumulated germs all over my face the next day.

— After a couple of times, the bristles became “unraveled” and began to stick out in different directions. This is clearly visible in the photo below.

As a result, after a month of testing this ultra-cleansing gel, I came to the conclusion that its use turned out to be pointless. But a bad experience is also an experience. I will not buy this product again in the future.

After returning to my favorite acne products a few days ago, my skin condition has noticeably improved. New pimples are not appearing, the old ones are almost gone, and there are much fewer blackheads.
