Mild Clarifying Lotion

Love this product! It removes all the dead skin cells off the surface. Perfect for living in really cold areas where the skin dries up and stays flaky. Revitalizes the skin as well! Great on sensitive skin, allergy tested and alcohol free :)

great product and really clears up skin! id suggest getting the value pack that comes with foaming cleanser and clearing moisturizer! soft on skin, not much of a smell but i use it in the shower and love it !

I really like this! After washing my face I would use this and it would remove everything including foundation and other makeup. This is really gentle on the skin had no irritation to the skin.

Completely agree with Meera's review! My skin is a bit breakout-prone (especially on my forehead), so I decided to give this toner/mild exfoliant a try. I avoid toners with alcohol like the plague, so I knew none of Clinique's other toners would work for me (as well as a lot of toners on the market). This one is super gentle and does not leave my skin dry whatsoever (even more gentle than my Lush toner that I was using previously, which wasn't really doing anything noticeable for my skin). I love that this toner contains 0.5% salicylic acid because I don't need a separate BHA/exfoliant in addition to it. I really do wish that it contained at least 1% salicylic acid to help with blemishes, but I still find it to be effective.

I'd been wanting to try Clinique's clarifying lotions for a while, but was put off by their alcohol content. I wanted a toner that would gently purify my skin without stripping it, and the others are so well-publicized that I wasn't even aware of this one until I researched alcohol-free toners containing salicylic acid.

Although my skin isn't highly sensitive, I'm prone to break-outs so I follow as gentle a skincare regime as possible to avoid aggravating it. As I mentioned, this lotion is alcohol-free and contains salicylic acid to clarify and exfoliate gently. It's much thicker in consistency than the other toners in the range, but noticeably milder too. Although I can't feel it working in the way that alcohol-based toners do, I could *see* it going to work in the first week - as is common with many pore-targeting products, this initially broke me out (mildly) before my skin settled down. Now my face is smooth, clear and bright :)

The only thing I don't like about it is the packaging - because of its consistency and size of the bottle, this would really benefit from a pump. It has a cap that is big and clumsy, so every time I use the bottle I feel I might drop it or knock it over while trying to screw the lid back on. So Clinique, if you read this - a pump and a smaller cap, please!
