Clinique 3-Step Clarifying Lotion 2 | Face Exfoliator & Toner with Witch Hazel for Dry Combination Skin — 16.5 oz

Clinique 3-Step Clarifying Lotion 2 is a daily exfoliating lotion designed for dry combination skin. As part of Clinique's iconic routine, it helps remove surface debris and excess oil that cleansing may miss, leaving your skin feeling fresh and renewed. This formula sits as Step 2 in the 3-Step system and is powered by actives that vary by skin type, including witch hazel, BHA (salicylic acid), and acetyl glucosamine. The result is a gentle, twice-daily exfoliation that prepares your skin to better absorb moisturizer and treatment products.

What makes it different from a toner

While toners generally focus on rebalancing after cleansing, this Clarifying Lotion is formulated to exfoliate the surface, helping to clear dull, flaky areas and refine the look of pores. Clearing debris can help subsequent skincare step perform more effectively.

Who it's for

Designed for dry and dry-combination skin, Clarifying Lotion 2 is one of five formulas tailored by skin type. It’s fragrance-free and allergy tested, with dermatologist testing to support sensitive skin users.
