Product Information
Full details
The Clinique Clarifying Lotion 3 is a dermatologist-developed exfoliating toner specifically formulated for those with combination to oily skin types who want to achieve a smoother, clearer complexion. Its primary benefit is the removal of surface debris, excess oil, and dead skin cells, which effectively preps the skin to better absorb subsequent moisturizers and treatments. However, users with highly sensitive skin should exercise caution as the inclusion of exfoliating acids may cause dryness or irritation if used too frequently or without adequate hydration.

FAQs
How often should I use this clarifying lotion?
It is recommended to use the lotion twice daily, morning and night, as part of your regular 3-Step routine.
Is this product safe for sensitive skin?
While it is formulated for combination oily skin, those with sensitive skin should perform a patch test first due to the exfoliating salicylic acid.
Do I need to rinse my face after using this?
No, this is a leave-on exfoliating toner. It is designed to be absorbed into the skin to prep it for your next skincare step.
Can I use this if I am using other acne treatments?
Consult with a dermatologist if you are using prescription acne medication, as the combination of ingredients may be too harsh.
What is the difference between this and a standard cleanser?
A cleanser removes dirt and makeup, while this clarifying lotion removes the dead skin cells and debris that cleansers might miss.
Does this refill come with a pump?
No, the refill format is designed to be poured into your existing, full-sized bottle that already includes a pump or dispensing lid.
Troubleshooting
Skin feels tight or overly dry after application
Reduce usage to once daily, preferably in the evening, and ensure you follow up immediately with a hydrating moisturizer.
Difficulty decanting the refill into the original bottle
Use a small funnel or pour slowly over a sink to prevent spilling, ensuring the receiving bottle is completely dry before filling.
