Hey Guys!
I'm back with another Farewell Friday, and this product I am really going to miss! Because of my Spending ban I am going to try and not repurchase it for a while, and see if I can survive without it!
The product is Garnier Pure Active Exfo Brusher Wash. Bit of a mouthful!
As you can see from the pics above- the face wash features lots of rubbery bristles to help exfoliate your face. When I first bought this, I was abit scared of them, but they're really soft and actually feel very nice on the face! The main reason I bought this product was that it claims to help fight spots, and fade the marks left by previous blemishes, two problems I suffer with. I didnt particularly notice that it faded any marks, but it definitely helped to dry out spots.
It also claims that are visible results from day one, which I personally didn't notice, and that it reduces shine, but I don't tend to get very shiny anyway.
Although I didn't notice anything spectacular with this face wash, I really loved it! It feels really refreshing when you use it and leaves skin super soft and clean, without that tight feeling.
I tended to use this every other day, any more than that and it dried out my skin a little.
The face wash is a bright green colour, looks (and smells!) abit like washing up liquid. The bottle has a twist top, so that you twist it to dispense product from the hole, then twist back to lock it, so that you don't waste any product. You then work it into your face with the bristles, which help to lather up the wash.
The twist top works really well, and is great for travel!
Pros:
Feels nice and tingly on the skin
Helps to fight spots
Foams up really well
Bristle brush feels nice, and helps to exfoliate
Lasted absolutely ages
Clever twist top means you don't waste any product
Cons:
Didn't notice any fading of marks
Didn't completely clear up my skin (that would be asking alot!)
Could be abit drying if used to much
Smelt like kitchen cleaner
Stings really badly if it gets into the eyes, and also tastes vile! (I'm clumsy with face wash!)
On the pricier side
Would I repurchase? Definitely.
I know that there's quite a lot of cons, but I did really love this product. Sometimes it's just nice to have a product you enjoy using! It does seem quite pricey, but lasted absolutely aaages!
I'm not going to repurchase yet, as I have a Boots own brand face wash to finish first, but I will in the future! I also think they're missing a trick with this wash, I think they should sell re fills without the bristle top applicator, then you'd be able to fill up your own bottle instead of buying more!
At the moment, I'm still using the bristle top to lightly exfoliate with the other face wash that I am using, which works really well.
The Garnier Pure Active Exfo Brusher Wash is £7.99 (now on offer at £5.99!) from Boots.
So, has anyone else tried this? Or thinking about trying it?
Thanks for reading, hope everyone is well! :)
It's nice to read a review on this product. I always walked past it and thought the bristles looked rather violent!

DeleteI had this a long time ago and found it didn't really do anything to my skin :( I prefer to use a scrub for exfoliating :)
