This exfoliator contains menthol, glycerin, salicylic acid and also alcohol. But because is intended mainly for type 2 skin - mixed to dry- also contains delicate moisturizing ingredients such as witch hazel extract. Description says to apply this lotion 2 times a day, but I personally recommend it only once a day or even once every second day if you have really dry skin. The package of the product is a matte, transparent, plastic bottle with a green stopper. The liquid itself has delicate, slightly purple color, I think because of alcohol denat.

THIS TONER HAS COMPLETELY DESTROYED MY SKIN! I received it in a holiday kit for a 3 step skincare ritual. The smell was extremely strong but I tried looking past it. At first it worked well. I was noticing improvement in the size and cleanliness of my pores within weeks. Fast forward 5 month later and it has destroyed my skin. It has completely irritated and dried out multiple areas. I have never had an issue with irritation on my face until I incorporated this product into my skincare routine. After researching and looking at the ingredient list alcohol is the 3rd ingredient listed. No thank you! I expected better from Clinique. I will be using cleaner products from now on.

I started using clinique products 4years ago when a friend swore buy it. I was always changing to different makes of exfoliation, cleansing etc. My friend bought me the trial size pack to try it and I absolutely love it. Iv got combination skin but using the 3 step treatment everyone comments on my skin. I even had a hormonal breakout and after 3 days it totally cleared up. So impressed with this and it last ages. You really do only need a little, I got the largest bottle 400ml in May last year and still have a little bit left. I use it twice daily. Highly recommended especially now im 37.Now im using a lot more clinique products especially the foundation and powder. Ur makeup even lasts longer as you you use next to nothing after uv cleansed ur face. I will always ... MoreI started using clinique products 4years ago when a friend swore buy it.

No, I do not recommend that you buy this tool, because. the price is ten times higher! Buy salicylic and boric alcohol, add menthol extract, your favorite hydrolat and you get the same CLINIQUE ClarifyIng Lotion 2. Result: black dots, dirty pores remained in place. The effect is even less than from the usual pharmacy salicylic acid for 0.50 cents. But the skin became thinner and even drier. There is no gentle exfoliation. It's not an exfoliate, it's stupid menthol alcohol! Well, instead of the promised cleansing - the opposite effect, because. the skin begins to produce even more fat, which clogs in the pores and gives rise to those same black dots and subcutaneous tissue.

I have always used a toner after washing my face, however I didn't realize how much the ones I was using were drying out my skin and making it worse. I had used toners for acne prone skin in the past, because I do have that however my skin is also very dry. I had received a free small sample of this Clinique Clarifying Lotion 2, and I couldn't believe how much of a difference it made! It didn't make my skin feel tight, dry and flaky afterwards. I follow it up with either the Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion+ or the Dramatically Different Moisturizing Gel, depending on if it's day or night - I love both and typically use the gel during the day and the lotion at night. I was so happy with this Clarifying Lotion 2 that I purchased it in jumbo size, ... MoreI have always used a toner after washing my face, however I didn't realize how much the ones I was using were drying out my skin and making it worse.

I love the pump, I feel it is very convenient and I haven't had any issues with it. I would definitely recommend this to someone who has dry or combination dry skin

Clinique is one of my all time favorite brands! I’ve yet to try a product I doubt like! This luxurious skincare/makeup Brand is one of the best! The Jumbo Clarifying lotion is perfect for removing Makeup cleansing your skin after a long day! It has a light refreshing scent, removes makeup, dirt, oil impurities with ease! My skin is left clean, makeup free, hydrated glowing! This is a go to staple in my skincare routine! This product has quality ingredients which is why it’s on the pricier side, but very much worth it! I will always recommend Clinique Products to everyone!

Clinique Clarifying Lotion (1) 400Ml

I have to admit that I had my doubts about this product the first time I bought it. When I hear the word exfoliate I think of little grains that scrub my skin to get rid of flakes and impurities. I wondered how a liquid that called itself a lotion would do this, but once I gave it a chance, my doubts were put to rest.I noticed that the flaky areas on my cheekbones were gone and as much as this might be TMI, I realized that the gray tinge on the cotton ballpad was actually dead skin. So in a way, it actually DID exfoliate, just not in the way I was expecting. It also does a good job of removing any makeup that might have gotten missed or left behind and my face always looks finer pored after I use it. More importantly, my skin does not feel stripped or tight. My face ... MoreI have to admit that I had my doubts about this product the first time I bought it.

Even though it doesnt last as long as the other two, it does a great job.

Clinique Cleansing Range Clarifying Lotion 200Ml 4 - Very Oily

I moved back to the desert after 13 years in the PNW. Im also turning 50 this year and my skin has changed from having children and a husband and just aging in general. I needed a new skin lotion that could help with the obvious desert dryness. The reviews on this product were impressive. And while the name is French, and the price tag much steeper than I would typically spend on a skin care product, I thought Id give this a try and hope I would be pleasantly surprised. The reviewers said it lasted a long time and was amazing. I respected that the product was made in Japan. That probably also accounts for the higher cost of the product, but from my own research, the Japanese do a really good job on their beauty products so I thought Id give it a go. Of course, this ... MoreI moved back to the desert after 13 years in the PNW. Im also turning 50 this year and my skin has changed from having children and a husband and just aging in general.

Of course, this could be a situation where its only manufactured in Japan and Japan has nothing to do with the actual formulation of the product.The instructions say to use 3 pumps worth on a cotton ball per use. The first time I tried that, I found most of the product repelled off the cotton ball and onto the bathroom sink vanity.I must be using the wrong brand of cotton balls...Instead, I carefully do one pump into my hand and use my fingers to lightly spread it all over my face. It feels like youd use a lot more product each time if A. you used 3 pumps and B. you used a cotton ball or cotton pad to wipe it on your face. So, less waste of the product itself and having to buyusetoss cotton ballspads if you just use your hand and fingers. But you do you.Like I mentioned above, I only need one pump of the lotion in my hand and I can easily cover my entire face, under my chin and neck, and have enough to smooth over my ears and the backs of my hands. This lotion is very thin, its not thick at all like other products Ive used. To me, it looks and feels a bit like gelatinous water. Does micellular water feel like this, too Ive never tried it.Also from the product listing information and the reviews, I couldnt exactly tell if I could truly use this as a stand alone face lotion or if this was more of a toner andor if I needed to use this with multiproducts to get my intended outcome. I just want one product I can slick on my face after I get out of the shower or before I got to bed.I have only given this four stars because I havent had it for very long and I dont ritually use is every day morning and night. Its too early to know if this is going to work for me over the long haul. When I have used it, its been fine, but I wouldnt say yet that this is the holy grail of face lotions. Ive used drug store products that have been a lot less expensive and my face felt more moisturized but not greasy after Ive applied them. Maybe this is a product you need to apply daily and you notice the results over time I dunno.YMMV. Your mileage may vary.P.S. Ive posted a photo of me holding the bottle in my hand so that you can see how large the bottle actually is. Youre welcome Also, reviewers mentioned that it smells really nice but I can barely detect any scent at all.

Huge help for Rosacea

I have been using Clinique products since I was 10 when my mother got me started on a skincare routine back in 2006 and have always kept a Clinique product in my routine. Since 06' specifically I have always used the clarifying lotion 2 (purple liquid) but back in May switched to 3; I have sensitive, non-acne prone skin with rosacea patches all over my face and neck. It was recommended to me to switch to the clarifying lotion 3, as even though I do not and have not suffered from acne (besides a brief period of hormonal acne as a result of health issues for a few months, which has since cleared up) I was told this could help with my rosacea - other rosacea treatments I currently include in my routine is the use of an azelaic acid serum at night and BHA serum in the ... MoreI have been using Clinique products since I was 10 when my mother got me started on a skincare routine back in 2006 and have always kept a Clinique product in my routine.

It was recommended to me to switch to the clarifying lotion 3, as even though I do not and have not suffered from acne (besides a brief period of hormonal acne as a result of health issues for a few months, which has since cleared up) I was told this could help with my rosacea - other rosacea treatments I currently include in my routine is the use of an azelaic acid serum at night and BHA serum in the morning. Since the switch back in May (this purchase is my second bottle) my rosacea has almost completely cleared up and this is the longest I've ever gone without a flare up (summer is the worst and I would have one almost weekly). The patches on my forehead have completely cleared up, only half the patches on my cheeks and one patch on my neck is red - but significantly lighter in color; but for my whole face and neck - all of the other physical side effects of the rosacea has cleared. I can't speak on behalf of people who suffer from acne, have oily skin or dry skin; but I can say that this has been a drastic positive change for my rosacea. The product also has not dried out my sensitive skin - but I have always followed the clarifying lotion with a hydrating essence before any serums, a thick moisturizer, and sunscreen.

completely changed my skin

For those who said this product negatively affected their skin, they most likely didnt use the right one for their skin type. There are 4 different versions of this clarifying lotion from very dry to super oily so its important to really assess your skin type/get the right one to see the best results. with that being said, I love this product!!!!! In the morning i wash my face with a gentle cleanser, sweep this across my face with a cotton ball, then let dry and follow it with an acne lotion (i use the mattifying one from cetaphil). My skin looks so bright and smooth all day long! It also doesnt affect any of my skin makeup if theres a day when I want to look more done up, however, lately all ive had to do is sweep some blush on my cheeks, mascara, and a lipstick ... MoreFor those who said this product negatively affected their skin, they most likely didnt use the right one for their skin type.

At night I do the same but instead follow with my night time serums. I think this helps everything absorb much better than it did before. I havent had any of my occasional breakouts that i usually get like clockwork since adding this into my routine and im even getting compliments. My skin has never been this clear and smooth, especially this effortlessly!
