When I received an invite to attend a Bloggers Night event with Georgina Wilson, to launch Garnier Pure Active products, I made myself available since I wanted to meet her in person.
The event was held at the Robinson Equitable Tower at Ortigas. I am one of the early birds at the area, and what’s good about it is I got to be the first one to see all the cool things that they have to offer that day.
The Garnier team asked me to have my “pimple statement” shirts first before the other bloggers arrive. It comes in 3 different colors (red, blue and white). I chose white because it was highly recommended by the t-shirts artist.
I also wrote my twitter name on the Google Map check-in inspired wall, I have put it besides the name of Georgina hehe .
When some of my blogger friends finally arrived, we had our pictures taken at an innovative photo booth with Flipbooks prints. This was my first time to see and experience what it was like. The flipbooks were a series of still photos printed (taken for 7 seconds) on separate sheets that are stacked together and, when flicked through rapidly enough gives the impression of moving images. (check it out HERE)
I realized that the event will be an intimate one since the venue is quite small. And, I was right since the Garnier team were roaming from one table to another and asking us some questions, which made us comfortable.
He said that Garnier Pure Active is made of two powerful acne-fighting ingredients:
• Purifying Salicylic Acid– with proven anti-bacterial properties
• Natural Herbal Repair– from blueberry extracts, which helps repair and regenerate the skin to prevent scarring.
Garnier Pure Active is clinically tested on acne prone skin, and it works immediately on imperfections and delivers multi action benefits from day one.
Since Asian skins are different from European or American skins, the Garnier Pure Active range are different here in the Philippines, we only have two products:
Garnier Pure Active Pimple Roll On– it is concentrated with 2% salicyclic acid. It immediately dries pimples and reduces acne spots. It has the same packaging as their eye roll on. The metal roller ball immediately helps relieve pimples.
I have tried this when I arrived at home since I have a pimple in my forehead and what surprised me is that it doesn’t sting or hurt. I have used the Eskinol Acne Pimple eraser before and I can’t stand the pain and itchiness that I felt after applying it. This Garnier Pimple Roll On is cool on the skin and doesn’t leave any marks after you applied it. I will buy one for my nephew since he is a teenager and he has lots of pimples on his face. So, let’s see if this roll on can remove his face impurities and let’s see the difference.
Garnier Pure Active Facial Scrub– It is enriched with powerful anti-bacterial active with repairing properties and micro beads. It actively fights the 6 skin problems- pimples, whiteheads, oiliness, enlarged pores, impurities and unevenness.
I have known Georgina Wilson through Mo Twister of Magic 89.9. I was an avid listener before (before the controversies) and I always hear Mo admire the beauty of Georgina. That is when I googled this girl to know more about her and why Mo or any other guys admire her. When I saw her in person at the event, I realized how beautiful she really is, that even though she makes funny faces, she still looks stunning.
If you think she never had a bad day in her face, think again. She shared to us that whenever she had a pimple on her younger years, she usually put toothpaste on it to make it dry. Unfortunately, it just makes things worse since it leaves a dark spot afterwards. I think KC Concepcion also said before that she used toothpaste on her face whenever she had pimples.
If you think that simple and unpopular people are odd, well these beautiful celebrities also had gone through things to achive a clearer skin, so we are just the same as them.
It’s a good thing that now, because of Garnier Pure Active products that are readily avaiilable in the market, we can win against top skin problems.
Garnier believes in the power of nature, which is why the brand uses active natural ingriedients in it’s products. Georgina said that compared to other facial scrubs in the market, Garnier facial scrub is so mild that you can use it every day. The Pimple Roll On is also safe for pregnant and lactating moms (but you can consult your doctor if you are in doubt).
I will be reviewing the two products with the help of my nephew to prove its effectiveness, so please watch out for it.
Here is the BEFORE photo. I hope Garnier Pure Active can get rid of his pimples soon.

Wow, I wish Garnier would come up with something for blackheads as that’s my problem forever. But it’s true what you said about Georgina being beautiful, she really is. Her skin looks flawless too! 🙂
Levy says
Hi Sammy, wash your face with the Garnier Pure Active facial scrub. It is enriched with powerful anti-bacterial active with repairing properties and microbeads. Use warm water first to open your pores and then after scrubbing use cold water to close and tighten the pores.

Hey Levy! I also used toothpaste on my pimples before..so I could definitely relate. And cguro I’ll consider using garnier.. sobrang sensitive kasi ng skin ko kaya extra careful ako with the products that I use. Kahit nga organic, ang sama na ng reaction sa skin ko. =(
Levy says
ako I remember I used lipstick naman 🙂
Issa says
