This product is definitely my favorite scrub. It is a bit aggressive, so if you have a highly sensitive skin I wouldn't recommend it.
The product gives you a tingly feeling when you use it. I use the product almost daily. It burns a bit when you apply it, but it doesn't hurt. My acne has definitely reduced and I've noticed that when I don't use it for a long time, I do get more spots. So I'd definitely say it is effective (for me)!

The only big fat con for me is that Garnier tests on animals.

I really like this product. It doesn't irritate my sensitive skin and it's great at drying and clearing up spots although I didn't really see a huge improvement on my blackheads. After using it my face feels really fresh and smooth and doesn't feel dried out. I changed to another Garnier face wash but I think I will go back to this one. I always apply the Garnier Pure Toner after.

I have really stubborn blackheads on my nose, even the pore strips can't budge them. So I tried this product, and I think I gave it a fair go.

I saw maybe a small reduction in the appearance of blackheads but not a huge one.

The product is tingly and almost minty, which I don't really like for my sensitive skin.

I tried using this product all over my face and it gave me the worst acne! I have NEVER before had an acne problem in my entire life. I'll get an odd pimple once every few months kind of thing. I used this for a few weeks thinking maybe my skin will get used to it or something, but nope. Acne all over my chin and forehead.

I have now stopped using it and my sudden acne problem has gone away.

I believe there is some kind of ingredient in here that really doesn't agree with my skin!

It cleanses really well and helps dry pimples without drying the face. Also, the beads it contain are not too rough. My only complain is the weird fragrance it has.

I absolutely LOVE this scrub. My boyfriend got it and I tried it, and it is awesome for my combination-oily skin. Though it can be a little drying, so do remember to slap on your moisturiser after using it.


I always notice a difference after using this scrub, skin now feels super soft and smooth and glowy, and I feel like my pores are thanking this product. My boyfriend also suffers from major blackheads around his nose, and there is definitely a huge improvement there.


Would definitely repurchase.

I bought this almost by mistake one year ago, and it lives ever since in my shower. Oh well, I have been using constantly, say twice a week.
I have a combo skin wiht occasional beakouts. I like this scrub, beause it cleans well and I love the minty, cooling effect it leaves for a few minutes.
As per the claim, well it will clean your skin but be sure the NO effect whatsoever will show on blackheads.
I have been using his for a year and the dready blackheads are still there, no more, no less. Hate them!
Be sure not to massage close to your eyes though (it will burn like hell).
it's a nice scrub, good if you are on a budget.
What I strongly dislike is the pacaking, it's ordinary bordering to gross....so inelegant compared to the other products that live in my bathroom!
Please Garnier revamp the visuals of the entire line, thanks!

I love this scrub. I have been using this for about a month now and I've noticed a huge difference to my skin.
I have oily skin, and I think this scrub works a treat. I have noticed a reduction in spots, blackheads and redness.
I have noticed that my skin is a lot smoother and looks a lot nicer.
The scrub has small grains, but not too many, so the scrub is not too harsh for my skin.

I have purchased this 5 or 6 times, but wouldn't purchase again.
I have normal-dry skin (oily before), now pretty sensitive, troubly in the girly time of the month.
I really liked this before, because it kept my skin blackhead-free, BUT I found out (yea, only now...) that my skin doesn't really like it. I have been using an AHA-cleanser and toner, which made my face look really glowy (NOT the same as greasy!) and healthy, but I wanted something to clean my pores with (being paranoid... not that I really needed it), and used this again. I did this right before I went to bed. When I woke up in the morning, I really understood what "dull skin" means; my skin looked dehydrated, with all of the small lines being way too visible, very matt and flat, paper-ish. I was kinda horrified... Although this cleanses, it strips my skin of moisture - almost like it sucks it out from all of the skins layers, which makes it sensitive and not really good looking.
This may suit an oilier skin type, but it's just way to harsh for me. I was actually probably experiencing this before too, when I had oily skin, but I ignored that fact, because it kept my skin free from blackheads.

A product that actually does what it claims! I initially bought it to use on my t-zone when I get get hormonal breakouts but now I also use it it to prevent shaving rash on my legs. It works! Priced at about £5 but is usually on offer so I consider it a major bargain.
