- Reviewed in the United States on August 27, 2025Style: 6.7 Fl OzVerified Purchase10/10 product itself for sure the only issue i had was the delivery, it came at a weird time but that may just be where im located! would recommend for anyone with oily skin, i use it twice a day, and i feel so refreshed when i use it and i feel like i'm not a ball of grease!
- Reviewed in the United States on July 22, 2025Style: 13.5 Fl OzVerified PurchaseI LOVE Clinique, my grandmother and mother used it for years when I was growing up so I obviously went to but that first when I started using makeup. It was amazing in my teens years because of acne and sensitive skin. From skin care to makeup, I’m in love with this brand. Everything is worth the price!
- Reviewed in the United States on September 25, 2025Style: 16.5 Fl OzVerified PurchaseClean my pores. Especially for oily skin. Prevent breakout
- Reviewed in the United States on June 3, 2025Style: 13.5 Fl OzVerified PurchaseI’ve tried a dozen toners - from trendy K-beauty to niche clinical—but I always come back to this one. Clinique #3 gives me that clean, exfoliated feel without stripping or stinging. I use it after cleansing and before serums, and it visibly helps texture and pore clarity. Using it twice a day has kept pimples at bay (haha that rhymes) for 6 months now. *knocks on wood*. Highly recommend!!!!!!
Bonus: I took a pic right after using it—no filter, no foundation. That glow? All Clinique #3 toner.
Perfect for combo skin that gets congested but still needs gentle care.

- Reviewed in the United States on August 30, 2025Style: 6.7 Fl OzVerified PurchaseStep 2! It’s a great astringent for your face. I get formula 3 for combination oily skin because I’m oily in the T-zone. I use it after washing with the Clinique foaming face wash (alternate with scrub) and finish with the dramatically different gel.
