I have combination skin that gets really shiny around the T-zone. The Clinique products I like to use are:

1. Hydrating toner - toning lotion with moisturizing properties, good exfoliant for problem skin (better than physical exfoliating scrub). This is different from their normal toner (the Clarifying Lotion) which is alcohol based. My fav product of theirs.
2. Anti-blemish pressed powder
3. Pore minimizing base - good makeup primer, helps control oil and foundation/powder stays on longer. It doesn't visibly minimize pores though.
4. Deep cleansing mask (white clay)

I find their soaps and liquid soaps are too harsh for combo skin. And the super moisturing lotion is way too strong for combo skin. I use this Vitamin E moisturizer from Guardian (forgot the brand name, comes in a brown pot), it feels much lighter on my skin.

You can also check out MUA (http://makeupalley.com), click on product reviews and search by brand=Clinique.

Currently still using Clinique product, which ive started using it for the past 1.5 years.
Really satisfy wif its product, so have no intention to change it.
Since you wanna make comparison then ill juz specify those which i think is the best within its product ranges.


1) 7 days Scrub: De-flakes, polishes, clears pores, refines and helps lessen fine lines.
[Absolutely soft & smooth after using, imagine urself touching a baby's face or backside >.<]

2) Clarifying Moisture Lotion Type 2 (Blue bottle): for sensitive and to moisture skin
[Nothing really special from other brand, juz tat its rather cheaper and larger in terms of bottle when compared]

3) Clarifying Lotion Type 2 (Purple bottle): Sweeps away dead surface skin cells on normal to oily skin. Skin appears smoother, softer, with more light-reflecting qualities.
[I think this is the one which ppl have been complaining that it consist alcholol. But to tell you the truth ITS REALLY SUPER. jus tat don use it as often. After applying u really can feel that ur pores does breath, bcos its really freshen up!! For me i interchange wif Clarifying Moisture Lotion Type 2 to meet up the balance]

4) Turn around concentrate:Prompts a continuous renewal process that is multi-level, time-released. Helps speed fresh, vibrant looking cells to the surface.
[This is a highly suggested serum from me. Ive tried it & i jus LOVE it!! trust me its worth trying]

5) Moisture Surge: Moisturizing which is much similar to Biotherm Aquasource Non stop(transparent flat "bottle"). Both are recommendable.

For mask~ Do you insist to use either one of this 2 brand?
Well if not, i can suggest you Biotherm Aqua Source Non Stop (Pink tube), also known as emergency hydration mask. It really makes ur face feel: ahhh~ finally with water
This really works well on me
Actually it depends on what advantages you are looking for from a mask. Whether to moisture, whitening, anti-aging, etc.
And i usually don stick to a specific brand of mask, bcos
1st: it can be expensive to only use high end product, especially for mask, example Clinique paper mask x 6 piece = RM 180
Why not mix it, say 1 week use this and another use that, you will be surprise the effect is even better
p/s im also having sensitive skin but it works well
suggestion of other cheaper yet effective mask --> skinlite (available at SASA, Rm 6.90 per piece) / The face shop

Clinique pore minimizer is as well effective.

Hope my opinion helps
