Dermatologist-developed formula. Our bestselling exfoliating lotion for dry-combination skin sweeps away dulling flakes.
Dermatologist tested. Allergy tested. 100% fragrance free.
Gentle exfoliator is the difference-maker for healthy skin.
- Sweeps away pollution, grime, dulling flakes to reveal smoother, clearer-looking skin.
- Preps skin for moisturizer—exfoliated skin is more receptive to hydration and treatment products.
- For drier skins, exfoliation whisks away surface flakes, clearing the way for moisturizer.
- For oilier skins, twice-daily exfoliation helps minimize excess oil and keep pores clear.
- Clarifying Lotion is Step 2 in Clinique’s 3-Step skincare system. Cleanse with Facial Soap, exfoliate with Clarifying Lotion, moisturize with Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion+, oil-free Gel, lightweight Jelly, or rich Cream.
Clinique Clarifying Lotion is available in 5 skin-typed formulas.
Our liquid exfoliators are powered by actives*—like witch hazel, BHA (salicylic acid), acetyl glucosamine—for just-right, twice-daily exfoliation. Which formula is just right for your skin?
Clarifying Lotion 1.0: Extra-gentle, alcohol-free formula is safe for sensitive skin.
Clarifying Lotion 1: Mild for very dry skin.
Clarifying Lotion 2: Gentle for dry combination skin.
Clarifying Lotion 3: Great for combination oily skin.
Clarifying Lotion 4: Formulated for oily skin.
*Specific ingredients vary by skin-typed formula.
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 with Clarifying Lotion makes skin more receptive to moisturizer and other treatment products.
How To Use:
- Use twice a day, morning and night.
- Apply with a cotton ball, sweeping gently over face and neck.
- For external use only. Avoid eye area and lips.
- Follow with Step 3, moisturizer: Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion+, oil-free Gel, lightweight Jelly, or rich Cream.
