    I really wanted to love this product. It heats up on contact with wet skin which I thought was pretty amazing and even did a demonstration with friends. After using it for almost two months, on...

    Clinique claims that this scrub which heats with water contact will open pores, thoroughly clean them and make them visibly smaller with twice weekly use. I was sceptical that any product could...

    I tried this as a sample, thankfully! It really stung my fingers, I thought for sure it would burn my face but it didn't. My nose didn't go red or anything it was just the burning sensation on my...

    I used this in conjunction with the Pore Minimiser Instant Perfector for 3 months. This did leave my skin looking very matte, but could not control the shine by mid day (because it is not balancing...

    Felt like molten lava on my face but afterwards my skin felt incredibly smooth and my pores really did look smaller! I have combination skin, and I'll probably only use this once or twice a week.

    This made me break out the first time I used it, then I had to wait weeks for my skin to recover. I will never buy this again.

    I love Clinique products, but this one was aweful! I used it for the first time tonight and it stung my face. It wasn't the heat from it, but something else, it really really hurt, so I immediately...

    I think this is the thing that is making my sensitive combination skin clearing up from blackheads. I use it sparingly on my t-zone once a week for about 30-60 seconds, and I have no problems with...

    Love this product! I've used it now for several months. I only use it once a week. It's not an all-over mask. Just intended for major pore zones, nose and cheeks. It heats up, so I wouldn't...

    As others have said, the name of this is VERY misleading. It's basically clogging the pores by filling them in. Doesn't work well under makeup and gave me white heads. Will not be repurchasing.

    I received a large sample of this as a GWP. As other reviewers have noted, it does get warm and can make skin red and irritated. I have sensitive fair skin that is prone to such reactions. ...

    If nothing else, I would buy this just for how good it felt on my face. It heats up instantly but never too hot and after a long day it's a very relaxing treat! I really don't see it doing anything...
