WHAT MADE ME BUY IT....
Clinique says.....
Soothing, natural clay-based mask helps heal blemishes, prevent breakouts and keep skin shine-free. Medicated formula goes deep to clean and unclog pores, rid skin of excess oil. In just 5 minutes, skin looks clearer, smoother, less acne-troubled. Gentle, non-drying formula won't irritate skin. Oil-free.

MY EXPERIENCE....
Wow, with so many good things written over the box and after reading all the amazing reviews about it, how could I resist it. My skin is problem skin (sob, sob....).... it's oily, blemishy, acne- prone, frequent breakouts.... so it did seem a good option. Let's tick one by one whatever it claims it does...
- Heals blemishes... Major disappointment in this area. I don't see any change in my dear blemishes.
- Prevent breakouts... A BIG NO!!! I had such a major breakout not once but twice :(((
- Keeps skin shine-free... mmm, yes, it does keep my skin shine free (BUT not for long though).
- Clearer, smoother skin... Yup, you do feel your skin is much smoother and fresher.
- Won't irritate... yes, won't irritate.

| With regular usage of Clinique cleansing mask! |
It's just another plain clay mask. I might as well make a home-made mask! It does make my skin look matte and smooth for a while but that's not the only thing it claims to do... Will I be re-purchasing? No... I'm going to stay away from Clinique for a while until I forget abouth this mask.
My next on list is Queen Helene Mint Julep Masque... Any experience with masques?
Love you all,
Farah.
ohh not the best of experiences i guess, its such a surprise since ive always heard raving review about cliniqus skincare! hope you find something better soon! hmm i have heard alto of youtubers rave about the mint masque so maybe that will work out for you :)
ReplyDeleteYes, that might work,let's see:)
Deleteohhh very big disappointment!!! i am agree with nayab... thanks for honest review :)
ReplyDeleteOH my hate when this happens :S. Stay away from oil controlling products since most of the time,if you have combo skin, they'll break you out like crazy.
ReplyDeleteYeah, u r rite but I have oily skin,choosing products is a big issue for me. Sometimes I have to throw away whole bottles of stuff if they don't suit me :(((
DeleteFarah i would suggest you to consult your dermatologist before applying anything on face i had very bad acne problem last year and now my face is clear after one month treatment :)
ReplyDeleteyeah... I have. I cant do that treatment coz im planning for pregnancy and that drug is strictly contraindicated.
DeleteOH God! Thats bad such a bad experience ...

ReplyDeleteHey Paul... This mask isn't meant for treating Acne but for preventing Break-outs and keeping your face oil-free, but in my experience it didn't help me much,( had acne break-out while using it)... hope it clears everything. i agree,... for proper treatment of ACTIVE acne one must consult a dermatologist.
DeleteClinique is good with its product :)
