Common questions
Is Garnier Pure Active Anti-Blackhead Charcoal Nose Strips Pack Of 4 fragrance-free?
Yes. No fragrance, essential oils or fragrance allergens are listed in its ingredients.
Does Garnier Pure Active Anti-Blackhead Charcoal Nose Strips Pack Of 4 contain alcohol?
Yes. Alcohol denat., a drying alcohol, is the 3rd of 7 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 Nose Strips Pack Of 4 safe for fungal acne?
None of the ingredients usually flagged for fungal acne are listed: fatty acids with 11–24 carbons and their esters, polysorbates, plant oils and butters, or ferments. 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 Nose Strips Pack Of 4 suitable for sensitive skin?
It contains drying alcohol high in the list, which can bother sensitive skin. Patch-test it before using it all over.
