Overview
Clinique's Clarifying Lotion 4 is an exfoliating toner formulated for oily skin, combining salicylic acid with witch hazel to sweep away surface oil after cleansing. It's the second step in Clinique's 3-step system, sized at 13.5 fl oz.
Sold as the step-2 product in Clinique's long-running 3-step routine, this liquid toner leans on salicylic acid and witch hazel rather than a scrub to clear residual oil and debris left after cleansing. It's fragrance free and paraben free, formulated specifically for oily skin rather than combination or dry.
- Salicylic acid and witch hazel exfoliating formula
- Fragrance free, paraben free, phthalate free
- 13.5 fl oz / 400ml bottle
- Step 2 in Clinique's 3-step skin care system
Who it's for
Suits people with oily, breakout-prone skin who already cleanse and want a liquid exfoliating step before moisturizer. Not intended for dry or sensitive skin, since Clinique sells separate Clarifying Lotion numbers for those types.
Pros and cons
- Formulated specifically for oily, breakout-prone skin
- Fragrance free and paraben free
- Large 13.5 fl oz bottle
- Single-step liquid, not a full routine on its own
- Only suited to oily skin types
Performance notes
The salicylic acid and witch hazel combination works chemically rather than through physical scrubbing, meant to loosen debris in pores that leads to breakouts. Because it's a liquid swept on rather than rinsed, the effect depends on consistent daily use as part of the full step sequence.
