    I 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!

    I’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.

    Step 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.

Product Description

Exfoliation is the difference-maker for great skin. For gentle, daily exfoliation, use Clarifying Lotion twice a day. Clarifying Lotion is Clinique’s dermatologist-developed liquid exfoliant available in 5 skin-typed formulas. Sweep it over skin with a cotton ball to lift away pollution, dirt, impurities, and excess oil that cleansing may have missed. Our facial exfoliator sloughs off dead cells and excess oil that can dull skin, cause breakouts, and clog pores. Leaves skin looking fresh and renewed. Use this exfoliating lotion after cleansing and before moisturizing. 5 skin-typed formulas are powered by actives*—like witch hazel, BHA (salicylic acid), acetyl glucosamine—for just-right, twice-daily exfoliation. For drier skin types, exfoliation whisks away surface flakes, clearing the way for moisturizer. For oilier skin types, exfoliation helps minimize excess oil and keep pores clear. Did you know our exfoliating lotion is different from a toner? Toners are primarily used to help rebalance skin after cleansing. Clinique Clarifying Lotion is formulated with exfoliating ingredients to help remove dead cells on skin’s surface. Clearing away that debris allows your skincare to work better. After using Clarifying Lotion, your skin can more readily absorb moisturizer and other treatment products. Clarifying Lotion is Step 2 in Clinique’s iconic 3-Step skincare system. The routine is scientifically designed to create healthy skin. Just 3 steps, 3 minutes, twice a day: cleanse, exfoliate, moisturize. It’s that simple. Available in 5 skin-typed formulas. Clarifying Lotion 1.0: Sensitive Skin, Clarifying Lotion 1: Very Dry Skin, Clarifying Lotion 2: Dry Combination Skin, Clarifying Lotion 3: Combination Oily Skin, and Clarifying Lotion 4: Oily Skin. *Specific ingredients vary by skin-typed formula.
