Good for simple guy, maybe not for sensitive girl

7 years ago
I was happy to test this #freeproduct from Topbox, but I was left a bit underwhelmed. First of all, the scent is very manly, although luckily it doesn't linger. The whole time I felt like I was smearing guys bodywash on my face, as the texture and scent are very much like that my boyfriend uses. Secondly, there are no usage instructions, and with an abraisive product I would like to know how often to use and avoid inflaming my senstive skin. It's difficult for me to add this to my routine, as I don't know how often to use it, and I also do not find it any more effective than any of my other drugstore facial scrubs. This would likely benefit a guy with a simple routine who just needs a good scrub a few times a week.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Favorite

This is my favorite face wash. I have been using it or various versions of it) for for at least 10 years. The scrub is perfect for making my skin feel clean and soft. I have not found a scrub anywhere on the market that compares. Please never get rid of this product.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Gentle scrub for smooth skin

7 years ago
I received the Garnier Charcoal Impurities Eliminating Scrub as a #freeproduct from Topbox to try. I incorporated the scrub into my skincare routine, using it 2 to 3 times a week at night after cleansing. The scrub contains micro beads, which made me feel like it was cleansing my skin effectively, and provided some physical exfoliation, which allowed me to apply my serum and moisturizer on smoothly afterwards. The scrub is also very gentle; however, it is fragranced, which took some getting used to for me as much of my current skincare routine is fragrance-free. Overall, this is a nice affordable product that leaves skin feeling clean and refreshed. #freeproduct

Good simple scrub

5 years ago
I leave mine in the shower to use a couple times a week at night, just a nice no fuss scrub as I prefer a more gentle daily cleanser. When travelling I mix a little of this into my regular gel cleanser instead of making things complicated, so I just get a little tiny scrub every wash instead of a good scrub at home! My skin type is oily with hormonal acne. I see other reviews stating this has a strong scent - I bought mine YEARS ago (I use a very small amount per wash) and have never noticed a particular scent, so this must have been added later? That's too bad since I live with someone who has sensitivity to scents ):

Yes, I recommend this product.

Parfait pour ma peau!

6 years ago
En 12 années avec de l'acné, c'est le premier produit que j'utilise et qui m'a enlevé jusqu'à 80% de mes impuretés. J'ai une peau très grasse, et j'utilise ce produit seulement en tant qu'exfoliant lorsque je prends ma douche. Je recommande ce produit pour ceux qui ont une peau grasse et beaucoup de points noirs. Par contre, il ne faut pas l'utiliser si vous sentez que votre peau est sèche, prenez une pause de ce produit pour la journée et optez pour un produit hydratant sans huile. Le seul point négatif est que le produit est très dense, il devient alors difficile d'ouvrir le contenant après quelques utilisations.

Crack in a Bottle

10 years ago
I'm 22 years old with a medium dark complexion. I have what I would like to call combination skin but its seasonal. In the winter my skin is super dry and gets patchy. But once spring comes along? Oil city. I have shopped around endlessly, become a product junkie, discouraged, and nearly gavel up until I tried this little gem. The wash clears my skin of all its excess oil and impurities. My skin is nice dry and soft all day until about 4 or 5pm. No more blotting or swiping at my face to check for shininess throughout the day. All in all I think its safe to say I'm set for the warm weather now and as long as this product keeps working the way it does, I will never switch.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Blackhead Eliminator

11 years ago
Hello, I would like to let you know about how fantastic this product is. I used it once and i thought Hmm..I can see a difference. Maybe it's a coincidence? Turns out when I ran out I found another product for a lesser price. I tried it. I believe it not only brought back my blackhead issue but it multiplied it! I got blackheads where I never had them. I went back to get this product and can't wait the 1st week for the difference. Boy would this have made my life easier as a teen!!! I will never sway. I shall only use this from now on. If I can ask for coupons that would be great. I have a teen who uses this too.

Yes, I recommend this product.
