Clarifying Lotion 3 Refill

I use this as part of the 3 step routine and my skin is oily-combination - hands down the best routine I have ever had. I stick to the routine day and night and my skin is visibly in better condition - quality is better, feels softer, pores minimised and everyone comments on how lovely my skin is. My makeup is going on better too. I was unsure of whether this was really worth the money - worth every penny. But you have to stick to it religiously! I was looking for a good skin routine with 30 coming up and I was getting confused with all the different beauty bloggers of exfoliating every day then some advise twice a week - very annoying. Whatever this is, it works for me.

This makes you feel thoroughly clean. I've used this for years and noticed it's less alcohol astringent than it used to be, but still does the job!

I used clinique in my late teens and early 20s then stopped due to not being able to afford it anymore. I treat myself for my birthday last week at the counter and told the staff member that I suffer with hormone acne round my jaw. She told me to get this in 3 and the wash and moisturiser (couldn't afford all 3 till this week). Within a few days I went from having a lot of acne on my jawline to just have a few small spots in total, which are shrinking daily. The only things ive changed are my cleansing products for clinique from soap and glory and my skin feels amazing! Thank you clinique!

My skin is combination oily, but in winter especially, I can get really dry flaky skin along with acne which is extremely hard to hide under makeup! I had been using products referred to me by a dermatologist, but found that my adult acne was returning - I decided to overhaul my routine and bought the three step programme along with the turnaround overnight moisturiser and City block. Within 3 days my skin was looking better - the flakiness had diminished and the spots were less aggravated. I have been using this religiously for approx two weeks now and couldn't be happier.

This product is very good at removing dead skin cells and dullness from my face and it feels squeaky clean and tingly after use, it also helps my moisturiser absorbed better. The only downside is the smell... it smells of alcohol which can cause irritation . All in all very good

I went into a Clinique store and was recommended this lotion for my combination/oily skin. I only get the occasional blemish on my t zone which I wanted to reduce even more, however as soon as I added this into my routine I got a major breakout on my forehead.(Only use once a day) Really unhappy, as nothing in my routine has changed and woke up next day with tiny little spots. Switched to skin type 2 hoping it will not be as harsh, even if my skin is not sensitive at all.

I originally went to a Clinique counter because I had woken up a couple of nights before to serious painful bumps on my left cheek and dryness which is very odd for me as I have combination/oily skin. I have never broken out like that befor on my cheeks ever! Went to a counter to see if they could help sort me out ! I received the facial soap oily formula and the clarifying lotion 3 as a sample and have used them together for just 2 days now and I have seen the best results! I feel so much more confident now and people are saying how they did notice my breakout on my cheek but now it's really cleared up! I also purchased the dramatically diffrent gel and that's made a huge difference my flaky dryness had cleared within the first night! Brilliant! Thank you Clinique my new skincare ! Xx

Since I started using this a few weeks ago my skin has become sooo much smoother and clearer I am very impressed. I used to have lots of little blackheads etc but now each day they becoming less and less. The best £27.50 spent on skincare x

This is by far my favourite product out of the 3 step system! People often mistaken this as a toner, it's actually a liquid exfoliant. It has tiny little micro exfoliants in it to clear away any dead skin and dirt from the face. It helps to reduce the appearance of any scaring or discolouration. It can slightly sting in any sensitive areas such as open spots. It's only momentarily and for me it just feels like it's really cleaning out the spot. My skin feels amazing after using this and when your moisturiser is applied after it goes on super smooth.

If you want clear skin without break outs, which is very soft to touch, this is the ONE product you need. It clears the skin, exfoliate any dead skin while it is very gentle and does not dry your skin. You only need one word for it - PERFECT.

I've never used any Clinique products before and I thought that the 3 step kit (number 3) wasn't too bad for £20 for 3 items. I've heard great things about Clinique and thought it would be good as I normally stick to drugstore products. I have really bad combination skin, where its so dry but as soon as anything like makeup touches my skin, my oils are just uncontrollable. So, I thought that this kit would help. I've been using the kit for a few months now and I thought it made a difference, but honestly, my skin still breaks out and I still have problems controlling my oil. However, the toner does last you quite long as so does the cream. The gel like cream keeps me matte for like 30 mins unless I put makeup on ... so not that great to be honest. The kit isn't bad for price, but if you have skin like me... I'd say save your £20 because you might just be better off with drug store products :-/

The product didn't do anything special to my skin. It feels cleaner, but other than that, nada. It might work for others, but it did not do the trick for me :(

I am an advocate of the 3 step system after using it for only a month. At first I was jubious about a cleanser thinking it would take too much time considering I've already washed my face?! However I was totally wrong, it's scary how much make up and yuck stays in your skin even after washing it with the face wash, particularly at night! The smell isn't the best. However it leaves your skin feeling so refreshed and cleansed and it's the best bit about the 3 steps! Would recommend this to anyone with oily combination skin and I've noticed a difference, I rarely get a break out now!

I recently bought this and used it as part of the 3 step cleanse. When I used this is stang which I was told is normal? However it then began to burn and my skin swell up and went red. I never normally have sensitive skin or reactions to anything so this surprised me. My skin is still hurting later on in the day and is still red.
