Overview

Clinique's Clarifying Lotion 1 is a witch hazel and salicylic acid toner formulated for very dry skin, sold as step 2 in the brand's 3-step skincare system, in a 13.5 fl oz / 400 ml bottle.

It is pitched as a mild exfoliating lotion rather than a strong acid treatment, meant to sweep away dulling flakes on very dry skin specifically, a narrower target than most toners on the market. The fragrance-free, paraben-free and phthalate-free formulation keeps the ingredient list short around its two named actives.

  • Witch hazel and salicylic acid formula
  • Step 2 in Clinique's 3-step system
  • For very dry skin
  • 13.5 fl oz / 400 ml

Who it's for

Suits people with very dry, flaky skin following Clinique's 3-step routine who want a gentle exfoliating step. Not intended for oily or combination skin, since the listing specifies very dry skin type.

Strengths and trade-offs

Drawn from this product's published specifications.

What stands out
  • Formulated specifically for very dry skin
  • Fragrance-free, paraben-free, phthalate-free
  • Large 13.5 fl oz bottle
What to check first
  • Contains salicylic acid, so patch test if skin is reactive
  • Built for one specific skin type, not a universal toner

Performance notes

The lotion combines witch hazel with salicylic acid at a level meant for very dry skin, so it leans gentle rather than a strong chemical exfoliant, working best as part of Clinique's cleanse-clarify-moisturize sequence rather than alone.
