Most Helpful Positive Review Amazing Product This toner is a life saver ! ever since starting the three step acne system my acne has disappeared, except for the occasional blemish that will pop up. NOthing like it was, no more deep blemishes that I can't get rid of :) If I do get a blemish it is gone the next day, which amazes me ! What I love about this toner is that your skin feels so clean after using it, makes your skin so clear and acne free. The only down side that I see is that they don't sell a larger bottle ! ! ! I go through the toner much faster then the other two steps, so a larger option would be nice. Also if you are going to use the three step I recommend using the bar soap instead of the foam pump ! I have used both and the bar is much better, lasts longer and is cheaper just fyi !
Most Helpful Critical Review Alcohol I was kind of shocked at the potent smell of alcohol of this product.
I have pretty serious acne for someone over 25, but I also have very dry skin. So alcohol isn't something I trust on my face - no matter what the description says ("for all skin types").
Still, I've been using it for a couple of weeks, because of the salicylic acid. Personally, I use an oil cleanser before my acne steps, to try and avoid stripping my skin of the little moisture it still has. Even so, I have noticed that my skin is drier than before I started using this product - even with the preventative oil treatments, and even though summertime usually brings me hydrated skin.
I wouldn't recommend this product to people with severely dry skins like mine, but I think I would've benefited from this product in my oily teens.
Reviewed by 784 customers Good but poor packaging 2
Alex from Florida
I've been using this for long time I would recommend not to use twice a say in some cases as it has alcohol but helped me a lot. Sad that last time due to poor packaging one boytle came empty as I was not at home my mom received but did not open it was sealed the paper inside and boxes absorved and it evaporated as has alcohol I open and one of the 3 bottles was completely empty as was slightly open, someone didn't check this at fulfillment center. Last time they were packaged in plastic but now they were just placed inside the box without checking please use tape or something in the future or seal them at least the ones to be sent by mail. I am sad more than 15 dollars went to waste because of that.
Helps with inflammation 5
Bree from Michigan
I recently have been experiencing Inflamed hormonal acne so I decided to give this a try.
I use a cotton pad and use a very small amount to pat into my face and neck.
The next day after trying this product my acne was way less inflamed.
I've been using this product twice a day for a few weeks now, and while my acne isn't gone it's definitely helped a lot adding this to my skin care routine.
Psa you will probably experience a little bit of irritation when you first start using this product.
My Ideal Toner 5
Bri_Sunfl0wer from Maine
I have owned a lot of different brands of toner in the past, however no matter their claims it never seemed to clean my face. They certainly never controlled oil the way this one does! I love it's cool tingly clean feeling it provides, and of course if you have an acne area it does burn a little. But enough for me to know it's doing it's job without burning for hours or reddening my skin. Super light weight and always ensures nothing is left on my skin surface. Love this acne system, all I have seen is results whereas other brands would work for a day and than I would be breaking out the next.
Will dry out skin to much 1
Will dry out skin to much from Albuquerque, nm
This product tried out my skin too much. I normally get their other torners. But decided to switch it up. After trying this I will not be using any of the similar items again... I bought the combo pack
Clarify my skin deeply 5
Anet from Claymont
After using this lotion I feel my skin is deeply clarified. I don't like its smell, but it doesn't mean because product is really good.
Amazing 5
SMowatt from Denver, CO
I have been using the acne line for years and this lotion is magic! I recently ordered and it had leaked in the mail, a huge bummer because I don't order until I'm literally out. Clinique customer service was amazing and replaced the product and resent to me within days. When used with the wash and the magic lotion (step 3) I never have any unwanted blemishes popping up. Can't be more thankful for this product, it changed my life!
Favorite for oily skin and breakouts 5
Tammy from Wilmington Nc
I've used Cliniqe for 20 years or more. Its 3 step skincare is the best. And can be customized for you skin.

I'M ALL CLEAR!! 5
Clwilson72 from Bowie, MD
I'm in my late forties and I began to experience hormonal acne especially around my chin area. I began using the Acne Solutions Clarifying Lotion and saw good results. So then I began incorporating other Acne Solutions products (soap and hydrating clearing jelly) and NO MORE STUBBORN ACNE! I may get one small bump or two in the summer—especially when wearing face masks but it clears quickly with consistent regimen. I have been using Clinique for over 30 years and as I continue to try new products they never cease to amaze or disappoint me! I'M ALL CLEAR thanks to Acne Solutions Clarifying Lotion! You've done it again, Clinique!!!!
Ance Good Bye! 5
Dannie G from Florida
This is worth the try. There are tines in the months when your skin needs something more tyan the clariying toner to get the ance out. This is it!!!!!! It saves me during the most difficult times. This drys the ance up in a gentle way.

I don't like the smell 5
CkB from Pennsylvania
The matte smell I just don't like.. it does the job though. I'll only use it at night & the #4 toner during the day after cleansing.

Effective! 5
Ann from MA
I bought this lotion for my partner, as he has had quite a lot of acne on his upper arm lately. Used after shower with cotton balls, and then layering it up with the gel, it worked amazing and we could see the redness fading away already. Great product!
Makes my skin feel so clean! 5
Morgan from Tampa, Florida
I have combination skin and I'm also prone to having occasional small breakouts. I started using this toner along with the face wash about a year ago and my skin is so much happier! I rarely have a breakout and my skin is so soft and glowing! I love this toner! Highly recommended.

Works!! 5
Becca from Pennsylvania
I have extremely oily skin. This has helped immensely to control my shine. I didnt realize just how much it helped. ....until i forgot to use it one day. Omg....by lunchtime my face was SO OILY. I looked and felt gross. I was powdering alllll day. When i use this....i might only have to powder once. MAYBE twice in an 8 hour workday....which is GREAT for me. This has become a permanent part of my morning routine.
Very strong 4

Salicylic acid 3
Perla from Las Vegas nv
The bottle I have states it contains 1.5%salicylic acid. Not 2% like you are stating on ingredients
Very good 5
G from NJ
I've been using it for a long time now. I use it every night and after workouts. Keeps my skin from developing acne/helps treating it. It's pretty strong so make sure to not get too close to your eyes.
