Does not deliver on promised results.
Unfortunately this product did not deliver on the promised results. The only noticeable change from using this product was a reduction in oily skin. This product whilst easy to use does have a not pleasant smell. Once applied you smell like you have covered your face in spray and wipe cleaner. This product may work for some people but it did not work for me so I would not recommend it given there are more effective products on the market.

Good mattifying cream
Garnier AHA + BHA Charcoal Daily Mattifying Air Cream is a light textured moisturizer which helps reduce the oiliness in the skin. After applying with a little amount, my face feels smooth, and pores appear minimized. This cream blends into the skin well and does not leave residue. I have combination of oily and dry skin, and this have helped to reduce oiliness on my T zone. However, I feel like I need to apply other moisturizer on top of this cream as my face feels tight on areas excluding T zone. Other than that, good mattifying cream. I would recommend this to friends and families.

Beautiful feeling cream
The Garnier Pure Active Air Cream has a really nice soft light texture and left my skin feeling very soft. I honestly really struggled with the colour though and as an early starter to the day had to really make sure I rubbed it in properly or my face looked grubby on the edges. Slight improvement with my skin texture (thanks hormonal pimples making its job a bit harder) but my skin felt soft, hydrated and not as shiney. Would love this more if it wasn’t black but then it wouldn’t be charcoal. My sensitive skin also didn’t get any worse with it.

Matte charcoal cream
The Garnier air cream was surprisingly black in colour but worked well with my skin giving it a less shiny more matte look when applied. The only issue I have with the air cream is the smell. It's more a cleaning products/chemicals smell than any face cream I've used before and the smell is quite strong.

Ok product for hydration
I think this product is ok. It works OK as a primer for under make up and gave a boost of hydration to my face. However, I thought it would minimise my pores on face, which it didn't do and also stop breakouts. It actually moved my breakouts to the parts of my face where I used it and also didn't make my pores any smaller. The product is grey in colour, as you can see in the picture, and sometimes it didn't rub in properly and left grey streaks on my face. Unfortunately I wouldn't buy this in the store.

Face cream
Absolutely love the face cream. It is so light and soft on the skin. There has been no skin irritation even after I got sunburt. My face just drinks it up and feels more hydrated. Has made a difference to the outbreak of pimples our my nose.

Charcoal gel like cream
This air cream appears dark grey as it is infused with charcoal. Charcoal gently refined your complex. I like the gel like airy texture which lives up the name air cream. However, I do notice that given that the air cream is super dark grey, eventhough the dark pigmentation gradually dissolved upon rubbing onto your skin, you can still see a small tinge of grey on your skin. It’s good for girlies with red cheeks which can act as an offset but I do feel that it doesn’t brighten my complexion due to the colour. I give this 4 stars overall.

Light and moisturising cream
I've have been using this cream for a while now and it has been great, has reduced my acne and leaves my skin feeling refreshed without being oily or sticky. Would definitely recommend

Very light cream
This Garnier pure active air cream feels amazing on my face. It’s very light and absorbs nicely into my skin without leaving it feeling oily, it leaves an almost matte feeling to your face at first but then leaves it feeling fresh. This black charcoal cream may look daunting, but once rubbed into your skin it’s no longer black and you wouldn’t know any difference. I haven’t had any blemishes or breakouts since using it, so it’s working wonders for me. Very happy.

Garnier Daily Mattifying Air Cream
This moisturiser does what it claims and definitely dries down to a matte feel. The consistency was surprising at first and the I wasn’t sure about the colour since it is enriched with charcoal so it was black in colour but once you apply the moisturiser, I did not notice any of the black colour left on my skin. My skin did feel quite smooth after applying and was a nice base before makeup. The smell did remind me of a manly cologne or deodorant so I wasn’t too sure about that. Overall, it was a good moisturiser and it did its intended job but the consistency and the smell weren’t the best.

Amazingly light
I was so impressed with the feel of this product on application - definitely a beautifully light and airy cream which absorbed quickly into my skin and didn't feel the slightest bit greasy. This effectively moisturised problem dry areas through my eyebrows and around my hairline without clogging my skin or making it too oily.

The most incredible texture
I've recently been using this moisturiser and the texture of it is next level! It's so perfect for my skin type. It's light and airy and absorbs instantly without leaving my skin feeling greasy, heavy or looking shiny. Infact it keeps my skin matte all day which is great as my skin is usually shiny by the afternoon. It has a light minty scent that's so refreshing and awakening. I love how moisturised and plump my skin is when I'm using this cream and I have noticed a reduction in breakouts over the past few weeks which is extremely exciting too. There is no black residue left on my skin and it doesn't dry in my pores black either. My pores actually have begun to look refined. Can't get enough of this cream.

It's black!
This moisturiser is quite a light and airy moisturiser. I was very surprised to see that it was black/grey in colour, but once i rubbed it into my skin, it went translucent. Initially my face felt quite matte, but after a few hours I noticed my face was more oily than usual. Unsure if it was the moisturiser or the hot QLD days.

Not great
Found that the cream didn’t really make any change.
