Overview
A 13.5 fluid ounce clarifying lotion from Clinique's 3-step skin care system, formulated as an alcohol free exfoliating toner with witch hazel and salicylic acid for sensitive skin, marketed as step 2 after cleansing.
Despite the listing's item form field showing cream, the product title and description make clear this is a liquid toner, the second step in Clinique's long running 3-step routine, and Clarifying Lotion 1.0 is the mildest formula in that line, intended for sensitive skin rather than oily or combination skin. It combines witch hazel with salicylic acid, giving it both a soothing base and a mild exfoliating component.
- 13.5 fl oz liquid toner
- Alcohol free and fragrance free
- Witch hazel and salicylic acid formula
- Step 2 in Clinique's 3-step routine
Who it's for
Fits people already following or starting Clinique's 3-step system who have sensitive skin and want a gentle, alcohol free toner. Not the pick for oily or acne prone skin needing a stronger exfoliating toner, since the 1.0 formula is the gentlest in Clinique's toner lineup.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Alcohol free and fragrance free formula
- Combines witch hazel with salicylic acid
- Large 13.5 fl oz size
- Dermatologist-developed for sensitive skin
- Formulated as the gentlest option, so limited exfoliating power
- Intended to be used within the full 3-step system
Performance notes
Salicylic acid provides mild exfoliation while witch hazel is included to soothe skin, and the alcohol free base is meant to avoid the stinging or drying effect that alcohol-based toners can cause on sensitive skin. As step 2 in the 3-step system, it is designed to follow a cleanser and precede a moisturizer.
