It is white. Not much to the texture either. If you ever used the Noxzema that came in the tub back in the 90's, that is the texture. Thick, white, but no real harsh grain or anything.

This mask is an opaque white upon application and when dry. Not the best option for the plane.

it is white

Its not clear! Its white.

Drink Up dries kinda clear and is really moisturizing which will be excellent for plane rides

Clear Improvements is more drying as it is a clay based mask with charcoal, so it absorbs the oils in your skin. Out of Trouble is more "medicinal" as it has salicylic acid, which is one of the many key ingredients to treat and prevent acne. I own both of them and have noticed these different results, one being more drying than the other, but as I use them in rotation with a multitude of other masks I can't pinpoint specific differences.

Bottom line, I would not repurchase this item as I believe I can get the same effect from applying serums to my face that actually remain on my skin rather that get washed off. I prefer masks that exfoliate and/or absorb oils and this one just doesn't do it for me.

I own both of the masks, and they totally solve different problems. For me the clear improvement masks helps so much on my pores, but not so much on my breakouts. The Out of Trouble helps with the blemishes but not the pores.
Also I find that Out of Trouble is way more gentle, and I can use that more often than Clear Improvement. I would really recommend getting both of them.

these 2 mask have 2 separate functions the "out of troble" is for clearing acne and the clear improvements is for pulling out impurities in the skin,such as the dirt/oil in black heads and minimize oil

I have used the Clinique mask that you are asking about and the Origins Out of Trouble mask and I think the Origins mask is better 10-fold. I saw improvement immediately with the Origins product and with weekly use, have seen continued improvement long term.
In my opinion, Clinique offers a good product, but it seems that sometimes their products are just too timid for real skin issues.

I like this better than Clinique. I believe it works better too! Good luck!

I really think this is way better than the clinique one. They are quite similiar, but I just think clinique is too harsh. This mask works AND is really gentle. Lisa Eldrigde, said that acne-prone skin is per definition way more sensitive than other skin types - I totally see the point in that. So I tend to stay away from harsh products.

I put this on a couple times a week sometimes. I wouldn't use it anymore than that bough. Good luck!

I use a mask daily (usually), I switch it up between different products that I am testing out. This one in particular I would say you can use on a daily basis, or as needed. For me (I have very oily skin and prone to breakouts) it's not the best mask out there, but it's a nice budget item. It has a slight tingling sensation (which is refreshing) and doesn't dry my face out the way a clay mask does (which I'd prefer it did). Use it as much as you feel you need it, spot application is also always an option.

Hope that helps...

Use this at the recommended two times a week. I have oily skin as well and I find that after using this product, my oily skin is controlled at a manageable level. Good luck!

I found that I didn't need to apply this product to my entire face after experimenting with it for a few weeks. When I tried using it on my entire face, it dried certain parts of my face. Now I use it as a spot treatment and apply moisturizer where I use it, and it works wonderfully to zap zits quickly.
It's a great product, so I recommend trying it as a spot treatment and experimenting a little to see what works best for your skin.
