Clinique Acne Solutions Clarifying Lotion with Salicylic Acid | Reduces Oil & Unclogs Pores | 6.7 fl oz

Overview

Clarifying Lotion from Clinique is a dermatologist‑developed exfoliating toner designed to fit into a simple, results-oriented routine. Guided by skin‑type formulas, it uses active ingredients such as salicylic acid (BHA) along with supporting botanicals to lift away surface debris and excess oil that cleansing may miss. The goal is to help skin look and feel brighter, more refreshed, and better prepared for subsequent moisturizers and treatments.

Choose a formula that matches your skin’s needs. The line includes five variations, from extra‑gentle options for sensitive or very dry skin to formulas built for oilier or combination skin. While the product is not a medical claim, many users find that consistent, twice‑daily exfoliation can contribute to clearer‑looking pores and a more even texture when paired with a complete skincare routine.

Key Benefits by Formula

• 5 formulas tailored to skin type: 1.0 (very sensitive), 1 (very dry), 2 (dry combination), 3 (combination oily), 4 (oily).
• Dermatologist-developed and allergy-tested; fragrance-free options available for low irritation.
• Exfoliates surface cells and helps remove pollutants and excess oil that can dull skin.
• May improve the skin’s ability to absorb moisturizer and other treatments after application.

How to Use

Apply after cleansing and before moisturizing. Use a cotton ball to sweep Clarifying Lotion across the face twice daily. This simple Step 2 fits into Clinique’s classic 3‑step routine: cleanse, exfoliate, moisturize.

Who It’s For

• Dry and very dry skin types seeking mild exfoliation plus moisture preparation.
• Combination and oily skin types looking to help minimize excess surface oil and support pore clarity.

Safety and Science

Clinique emphasizes safety and skin compatibility, offering fragrance-free and allergy-tested formulations. The brand’s approach centers on dermatological science and a careful balance of active ingredients to suit different skin needs.
