Clinique Charcoal Mask Review

How many times have you lost your patience with the endless beauty products with no visible results to offer? In those hard-ridden moments, you want nothing but instant gratification. So leave your worries aside for a moment, and get instantly gratified with a brighter and nourished skin with Clinique’s charcoal mask which refines your pores and makes your skin extra smooth!

The exfoliating and detoxifying clay mask has been made from natural bamboo charcoal and kaolin clay which help in removing pollutants and impurities attached on the surface, in just five minutes. Clinically tested, the charcoal mask uses silica beads which help to refine the texture of your skin and leaves your skin oil-free and refreshed. The paraben-free mask claims to work on all types of skin as it avoids adding allergens or any sort of ingredients that can cause harm or serious damage to the skin.
The mask has to be applied over the face two to three times a week for just five minutes or until the white mask turns into a pale blue color. After its application, gently exfoliate the mask with warm water in a circular motion.

Pros

One of the most impressive qualities of the mask is that it can be used as a mask as well as a scrub. The dual-action helps in detoxifying the skin instantly than any other mask could do. Its fragrance-free quality hinders premature aging or redundant tightening of the skin. It is a gift for those whose oily T-zones never wish to go away! It exfoliates the skin clean and provides extra nourishment by its deep-clean process.

Cons

Although the face mask claims to work on all skin types, it works wonders essentially on oily-skin types, leaving the naturally dry skin more dehydrated and desiccated. Its exfoliating properties are the catch here, as they don’t have any effect on pimples or acne-prone skin. In some cases, it has led to even cause major breakouts and causing even light redness.

Price

Clinique Charcoal Mask + Scrub comes at 4048 INR for a 100 ml tube, which by the conventional standards, is quite expensive! It is prudent to look out for cheaper options with similar results as not to feel guilt-ridden after buying it!

Our Verdict

After reviewing its pros and cons in detail, it is not only better to weigh out different options at the same time but also to consult a dermatologist who could give a helpful insight into whether this product is essential for your skin or not. Better to be safe than sorry!
