Did you know Clinique’s 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 helps allow your skincare to work better

After using Clarifying Lotion, your skin can more readily absorb moisturiser and other treatment products

Preps my skin for ddml/ddmg

Originally posted on Clinique UK

Love this exfoliating lotion which ensures face is clean and ready to absorb moisturiser. Been using for 25 years so would find it uncomfortable if I didn't use it before moisturiser now

Perfect exfoliation

Have been using the 3 step routine for a couple of months. I love sweeping this over my face after cleansing. My skin feels fresh and clean ready for my moisturiser

My go-to as part of 3 step skincare routine

Originally posted on Clinique UK

I have been using the Clinique 3 step products for many years. I have super sensitive oily-combination skin and this keeps my skin clear with no reaction. I have tried many other products but cannot find better.

Always make my skin feel fresh

Originally posted on Clinique UK

Tried a fair few different products but this is the one. Nothing cleans my skin so well as this product. No awful redness or after effects that you can get with other products. Would recommend

Nothing exfoliates my skin like this. My skin feels so much cleaner and fresher yet it is still gentle.

Leaves skin fresh and clean

Originally posted on Clinique UK

I've been using this lotion since it's inception. I have sensitive skin and a lot of other manufacturers Toners I have tried in the past have been far too harsh and strong and completely dried my skin out. This leaves my skin feeling refreshed and clean, but not at all dry and tight. It reduces pores and provides the perfect start to applying moisturiser and foundation.

I'm furious about discontinuation of Even Better Glow!!

Originally posted on Clinique UK

I learnt the dreadful news that Even Better Glow Foundation has been discontinued when I went into my local department store to buy some. There was no advance notice at all. I was given a sample of the replacement (Even Better Clinical Vitamin) which is nothing like as good and has absolutely no 'glow'. OK, it has SPF of 50 which is good, but that's absolutely the only plus.

Trusted Cleanser

Yes, I recommend this

Over the years I have tried other cleansers but this is the only one that is affective for my skin. It works well with other facial products not just Clinique.

Great product

Originally posted on Clinique UK

Great product used for many years. Purchased the jumbo size in the sale - slight change to bottle design needed as it's easy to pour out too much from the open top.

Clear Glowing Skin!

Originally posted on clinique.co.uk

Yes, I recommend this

Having used virtually every brand both less and more expensive I have found that CL2 is the absolute best product on the market for my Menopausal skin. My skin has been really "acting out" with painful breakouts. I have used Clinique in the past and cannot remember for the life of me why I stopped!! I was gifted a 3-Step system for my birthday and I haven't looked back. Thank you Clinique for giving my my confidence back!

Used for years glad I can now purchase from m and s and no need to travel 30 minutes to get. Handier for me too when I am purchasing from m and s to include this when I need. It does last a long time make’s moisturising cream absorb better

Harsh Clinique cleanser. It must be out of date

This lotion smells sour and stings when applied to face. Thinking of throwing it away.
