Common questions

Is Garnier Pure Active Anti Blackhead Charcoal Peel Off Face Mask fragrance-free?

No. Fragrance (listed as "Parfum/Fragrance") is the 18th of 18 ingredients.

Does Garnier Pure Active Anti Blackhead Charcoal Peel Off Face Mask contain alcohol?

Yes. Alcohol denat., a drying alcohol, is the 2nd of 18 ingredients, high enough to be a main ingredient. It makes products feel light and dry quickly, but can dry out or irritate sensitive skin.

Is Garnier Pure Active Anti Blackhead Charcoal Peel Off Face Mask safe for fungal acne?

It contains 2 ingredients that fungal-acne (Malassezia) guides usually avoid: fatty-acid esters & glycerides (polyglyceryl-10 myristate, polyglyceryl-10 stearate). How much they matter depends on the amount and the rest of the formula. The evidence comes mainly from lab studies of yeast growth, and fungal acne needs a diagnosis from a GP or dermatologist.

Is Garnier Pure Active Anti Blackhead Charcoal Peel Off Face Mask suitable for sensitive skin?

It contains fragrance, drying alcohol high in the list and salicylic acid, an exfoliating acid, which can bother sensitive skin. Patch-test it before using it all over.
