Clinique Clarifying Lotion 1 (400ml) is a mild, daily exfoliating lotion specifically formulated for very dry to dry skin. Part of Clinique's iconic dermatologist-developed 3-Step Skin Care System, this gentle toner gently sweeps away dull flakes and surface debris, leaving the skin smoother, fresher and more receptive to the moisturisers and treatments that follow.

Who it's for
Specifically formulated for very dry to dry skin types — including skin that feels tight or flaky, particularly in cooler weather or central-heating environments. Step 2 of Clinique's classic 3-Step routine, but equally effective as a stand-alone gentle exfoliating toner. Other Clarifying Lotion strengths exist for combination, oily and sensitive skin types — choose Lotion 1 for the gentlest formula.
How to use
- After cleansing, soak a cotton wool pad with lotion.
- Sweep gently across the face and neck, avoiding the eye area.
- Allow to dry for a moment, then apply your usual moisturiser.
- Use morning and evening as part of the Clinique 3-Step Skin Care System.
