My review of the Clinique Pep-Start Double Bubble Purifying Mask.
🍏 Main info:
Price: $24.50
Size: 50ml
Skin type: any
🍏 Packaging: the mask is housed into a handy tube with a dispenser which is a plus. I need 3-4 pump presses to apply the mask all over my face. I can’t say that spending is minimal.
🍏 Consistency and aroma: the product is rather runny and it’s a gel of pink color. When it’s on my skin for some time, I can see and feel that it “blooms” and lathers. The smell is typical for many Clinique products and it’s barely noticeable.
🍏 Ingredients:
Water\Aqua\Eau, Disiloxane, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate, Decyl Glucoside, Glycerin, Pentylene Glycol, Acrylates Copolymer, Sodium Chloride, Morus Nigra (Mulberry) Root Extract, Scutellaria Baicalensis Root Extract, Vitis Vinifera (Grape) Fruit Extract, Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7, Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1, Acetyl Glucosamine, Peg-6 Caprylic/Capric Glycerides, Ethylhexylglycerin, Butylene Glycol, Polysorbate 20, Peg-150 Pentaerythrityl Tetrastearate, Potassium Hydroxide, Coconut Acid, Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer, Carbomer, Xanthan Gum, Disodium Edta, Phenoxyethanol, Red 33 (Ci 17200)
Nothing natural here.
🍏 Product promises:
Refreshing gel-mask bubbles away debris to purify and energize skin.
A pep rush for skin. In just 2 minutes, this refreshing pink gel mask transforms into a blanket of tiny, debris-lifting bubbles. Add water and it becomes a deep-cleansing lather. Skin looks energized, radiant, feels deeply purified.
🍏 My skin: mixed, dehydrated. It’s dry and flaking on my cheeks when it’s cold. When it’s hot, it’s more oily in my T-zone.
🍏 Impressions of use:
I apply it over my clean skin and I don’t even have time to apply it all over when it starts lathering.
I leave it on for another 2-3 minutes and then rinse off with water. This foam feels strange on my face: as though a tingling sensation. 
The mask washes off fuss-free and it doesn’t require any additional tools.
The mask doesn’t do anything about my blackheads. In the picture, you can see that my pores remained as clogged as before.
I haven’t noticed any deep cleansing from it. I can see that my complexion is smooth and even lighter a little. My skin is glowing with health but this is where the advantageous results of the mask end. My skin is soft and smooth after any face mask. As for the good, I can list the non-drying effect.
🍏 Overall impressions:
No impressive results from this mask. The cleansing is overall and the results from the mask are poor. I haven’t noticed any accumulative effects from it.
In fact, I’m good with Clinique brand but I think that this product is a failure.
