Clinique 3-Step Clarifying Lotion 4 | Exfoliating Toner for Oily Skin — Witch Hazel & Salicylic Acid, 6.7 fl oz

Clinique 3-Step Clarifying Lotion 4 — Exfoliating Toner for Oily Skin

Clinique’s Clarifying Lotion is the second step in the iconic 3-Step routine. This lightweight exfoliating lotion targets oily skin and uses actives such as salicylic acid and witch hazel to help lift away debris and excess oil after cleansing, setting the stage for a more even, refreshed base before moisturizing.

What you may notice is a smoother texture and a more radiant-looking surface as dead skin cells and oil are swept away. The product is formulated to help pores appear refined and to help your moisturizer absorb more easily, so your skincare can do its job more effectively.
