Clinique is known for offering high-quality skincare that’s gentle on the skin, and this 2-in-1 mask scrub is no exception. It’s formulated with charcoal, a well-known ingredient for drawing out impurities, and it works in two ways: as a scrub and as a mask. You can use it as a scrub to gently exfoliate and buff away dead skin cells, or leave it on as a mask for a deep detox. The formula is fragrance-free, paraben-free, and phthalate-free, making it suitable for those with sensitive skin. The product’s goal? To clear up excess oil, remove pollution, and leave your skin feeling refreshed and smooth.
I’ve been using this mask scrub for about a week now, and I’ll say this—it’s easy to incorporate into my skincare routine. I love how it doubles as a scrub and a mask, so it really saves me time. When I use it as a scrub, I massage it gently into my damp skin, and it feels like it’s doing a solid job at exfoliating without being too abrasive. The texture is creamy with a slight grit, perfect for sloughing off dead skin.
When I let it sit as a mask, it dries down pretty well without feeling tight or uncomfortable. My skin feels instantly cleaner, and the matte finish it leaves behind is a big plus for anyone who struggles with oily skin. But, there’s a slight downside. If you have extremely sensitive skin, the scrubby texture might be a bit much for daily use. I’d recommend using it two to three times a week, depending on how your skin reacts.
Let’s break it down. Here’s what I liked:
It’s quick and effective. The dual purpose saves me time in my routine.
My skin feels noticeably smoother after each use, and I’ve seen a slight improvement in the texture, which is great for a product that combines both a scrub and mask.
It’s gentle enough for sensitive skin, but still tough enough to make a noticeable difference in how my skin feels.
Now, here’s where it could be better:
As much as I love how it works, the scrubby particles can be a bit too much if you have really sensitive skin, so I wouldn’t use this daily.
The charcoal formula could leave your skin a bit dry after use, so be sure to follow up with a good moisturizer.
So, is this worth the price tag? Absolutely, if you’re looking for something that pulls double duty—cleansing and exfoliating in one step. But, if you’re on a tighter budget, you might want to look at some of Clinique’s other products or more affordable alternatives that also offer exfoliation without the higher price tag.
The product’s build is solid—well-packaged, and the 3.4 oz container will definitely last a while. As for longevity, it seems to stay effective over time, and I’ve had no issues with the product breaking down or losing its texture after several uses.

I haven’t had to contact Clinique’s customer service, but given the brand’s reputation for reliable and helpful service, I’m confident they’d be responsive if needed.
Now, I won’t get into product updates because there haven’t been any major changes to this formula recently, but I’ll keep an eye out for any updates that might affect its performance.
If you’re looking for cheaper alternatives, there are plenty of charcoal masks and scrubs out there that could fit your budget while still offering similar benefits. For example, a few drugstore brands offer charcoal products that work similarly but at a fraction of the price. You just might not get the same high-end formula that Clinique provides.
Overall, the Clinique All About Clean 2-in-1 Charcoal Mask Scrub does live up to its claims. It’s perfect for those of you who need a quick, effective solution for clear, smooth skin. Just be mindful of how sensitive your skin is when using the scrub, and maybe reserve this for a couple of times a week to get the most out of it without over-exfoliating.
