Just a little warning if you are using Pure Active!
I wanted to let you all know that I have been using the whole Garnier pure active range for a couple of days now and I have had a bad reaction.
My skin type: Dry & sensitive, (If this isn't your skin type don't bother reading this post)
Initially it was looking good, and I'm all like yeah I think this is my HG skincare, but all around my mouth and chin area has become SO dry with patches that look like wrinkles. This is not new news for me as I suffered from the same thing whilst on my honeymoon when I was using a similar spot fighting range from Clearasil.
I will no longer be using the range as a whole, but only parts of it as it really calms down my spots. I will discontinue use of the moisturiser and continue using the wash and toner. Instead I will be using a more moisturising cream like... drum roll please: the Neal's Yard jasmine enriching cream as this really rescues my crap skin.
I must say however, if you have oily skin, the pure active range by Garnier will probably be your new best friend :) but stay away if you have dry and sensitive skin.
I will be steaming my face and massaging Neal's Yard orange flower oil into my skin to correct the texture of my skin.
Have you used this range? What are your thoughts?

Such a shame this didn't work for you. I have never tried Neals Yard but it seems lovely! Was nice to see you at the Garnier event by the way! xxx
The range does sound really good for spots though, but maybe not when using everything all at once.
