“ I received this product for free from Topbox Marketing for testing and review purposes”.
Honestly I did not like this Garnier Skin Active AHA + BHA Charcoal Pore-Purifying Serum pretty much at all. This product has a few stand out ingredients like Niacinimide, Glycerin, Propaneidol, Sodium Hydroxide, Lactic Acid, Salicylic Acid. A little bit goes a very long way. The downside of this product is it is extremely difficult to fully rub into your skin. I felt like I was rubbing it in for 10 minutes. I leaves a black residue all over your face and hands. It also doesn’t dry down immediately, it left my face feeling sticky for a while like 40 minutes to an hour.. What I don’t understand about this product is why it’s black.. This product is meant for refining pores and helping them to look more visible but the colouring actually makes the pores look dirty, like they’re super clogged and congested (the dirt/oil has oxidized). I would definitely recommend NOT using this serum in the daytime unless you want to have a black tint/hue on your skin.. Last call out is the smell, it’s quite strong and it’s not a pleasant smell.. It smells like a household cleaner or car cleaner. Overall, I wouldn’t recommend this product or purchase in the future, there are better products for pores and texture.

Really nice serum!
Received Free Product

For the past two weeks, I was using one full dropper in the morning. This serum felt light, refreshing, and quickly absorbed into my skin. It had a very liquid consistency and had no aroma. When it was completely absorbed, there was only a slight tackiness left behind. One application left my skin feeling softer, smoother, and firmer. My skin tone seemed more even, my pores were noticeably smaller, and overall, my skin improved after two weeks of regular use. I'm really pleased with this serum and my initial outcomes. #topratedbeauty

Pore Purifier!
Received Free Product
2 years ago
I had the opportunity to try Garnier Skin Active AHA + BHA Charcoal Pore-Purifying Serum and I’m a HUGE fan! I was a little worried about how dark and charcoal-y this serum is, but it blends so effortlessly into my skin. I experience blackheads and occasional acne, so this being touted as a pore purifying serum was exciting, and did its job! I’ve been using the serum almost everyday for the last three weeks and my skin looks healthier, and is more even and matte. The pores on my nose have shrunk and the blackheads are nearly non-existent! I’m so pleased with the results! This is a must try!

I'm not going to lie, I was a little worried about how dark and charcoal-y this serum is, but it blends so effortlessly into your skin. I could be happier daily about my pores and the fact that I still get "blessed" with occasional acne, so this being touted as a pore purifying serum was exciting. It legit did its job!

Great serum
Received Free Product

I received this product for free from Topbox Marketing for testing and review purposes.
I got to try the Garnier SkinActive AHA+BHA with Charcoal Serum. I love the beautiful recyclable glass bottle with its convenient dropper. I use this serum every morning. I apply a few drops on my face. I like the fast absorption. This is the first time that I use a black serum and once I gently smooth into my skin, there’s no black residue. My skin feels smooth, moisturized and I have less breakouts.
I love Garnier because of its cruelty free products, its vegan formula and its 100% recyclable glass bottles.
Thank you so much @topbox & @garniercan ❤️

Magic Pore shrinking Serum

I received the Garnier SkinActive AHA +BHA with Charcoal Pore-Purifying Serum with 4% Niacinamide AHA BHA (salicylic acid) from Topbox Marketing for testing and review purposes. I have been using this product nightly around my nose and chin as I have enlarged pores within that area and have noticed that they have most certainly have shrunk and my skin is not as oily within my nose area and T zone area and is brighter. The formula is amazing! And I highly recommend it and has a very light scent and a little goes a long way and easily absorbs into the skin with no residue.
Yes, I recommend this product.

It is truly amazing how this serum has helped my skin's tone and texture. Even though it's a black color. it effortlessly absorbs into the skin, leaving no dark traces behind, and since I added it into my daily routine, I've witnessed a significant improvement in the overall glow and cleanliness of my complexion with its subtle fragrance enhancing the experience, this serum has undoubtedly become a staple in my skincare regimen.
