Garnier Pure 3-in-1 Wash, Scrub & Mask

This Works!!!!!

I've been having breakout on my forehead and chin area lately. Not a lot, just one or two but whenever this pesky things appears, they sure are HUGE and they linger for weeks! At first I thought it was hormonal, but after some reading, I realize only chin area breakouts were due to monthly hormones, forehead were mainly caused by dehydration and stress, digestion problems will attack your cheeks while dirt and sebum will give you a nasty nose breakout.

So I went looking for ACNE TREATMENT. I re-tried products that worked during my high school time, OXY Benzoyl Peroxide, Clean and Clear Treatment Spot Gel, DIY Bicarbonate Soda paste etc. but none of these worked! I've later learned that I'm allergic to benzoyl peroxide as its making my skin peel until a state that it bleeds! * YUCK*

One day, I was roaming (literally) in Watson's and I stumble upon this

Garnier Pure 3-in-1 Wash, Scrub & Mask, RM15.90 / 150ml

On the label

Who is this for? 

Oily to Combination Skin prone to imperfection, shine and blackheads.

What's in it?

Zinc to regulate sebum, purify and eliminate impurities.

Pumice Stone to exfoliate dead skin cells and unclog pores.

White Clay to sooth, absorb excess oils and mattify skin. 

Salicylic Acid to fight bacterias

Mineral Complex

The Verdict, does it works?

YES! It does live up to its claims. I had a red bumpy zit on my chin, I dab some on for 15 minutes and after rinsing, the redness did reduced and the bump went down, NO MORE RAGING PIMPLE! It doesn't flake out my already delicate and sensitive skin, I guess its because it doesn't contain benzoyl peroxide. My skin got slightly brighter too thanks to the pumice stone. I used this as a mask only because I don't like washing my face with exfoliants daily. 

PRO's

Cheap

Easily available

Reduce redness and bump

CON's

might be too mild for severe acne

pumice stone are too harsh

- WARNING -

Nor suitable to be used daily as frequent exfoliating will cause thinning of skin, giving bacteria an entrance.

Pumice stone particles are too harsh so be gentle while rinsing.

NEVER leave it more than 20 minutes as it does dry your skin out of all its natural moisture.

Overall, its a good product and I will repurchase it when I'm done with all my clay mask stash. * GUILTY*

Its very worthy for that price and if it works, why not right!

Any good secrets on acne products to share?
