Common questions

Is Garnier Pure Active Anti-Blackhead Deep Pore Face Wash Oily Skin fragrance-free?

No. Fragrance (listed as "Parfum/Fragrance") is the 32nd of 32 ingredients.

Does Garnier Pure Active Anti-Blackhead Deep Pore Face Wash Oily Skin contain alcohol?

No drying alcohol (alcohol denat. or ethanol) is listed.

Is Garnier Pure Active Anti-Blackhead Deep Pore Face Wash Oily Skin safe for fungal acne?

It contains 3 ingredients that fungal-acne (Malassezia) guides usually avoid: fatty-acid esters & glycerides (peg-60 hydrogenated castor oil); plant oils & butters (hydrogenated castor oil, hydrogenated jojoba oil). How much they matter depends on the amount and the rest of the formula. 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 Deep Pore Face Wash Oily Skin suitable for sensitive skin?

It contains fragrance and sodium lauryl or laureth sulfate, a strong cleansing agent, which can bother sensitive skin. Patch-test it before using it all over.
