Highlights
Summary
Clinique’s Clarifying Face Lotion 1 is a mild exfoliating lotion for very dry skin. Dermatologist-developed formula sweeps away dulling flakes.
Benefits
- Skin Types: Very Dry to Dry
- Sweeps away pollution, grime, dulling flakes to reveal smoother, clearer-looking skin.
- Preps skin for moisturizer—exfoliated skin is more receptive to hydration and treatment products.
- For drier skin types, exfoliation whisks away surface flakes, clearing the way for moisturizer.
- For oilier skin types, twice-daily exfoliation helps minimize excess oil and keep pores clear.
- Dermatologist developed and tested
- Allergy tested
- Fragrance free
- How does Clarifying Lotion fit into your skincare routine? Clarifying Lotion is Step 2 in Clinique’s 3-Step skincare system. Cleanse with Facial Soap, exfoliate with Clarifying Lotion, moisturize with Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion+, oil-free Gel, lightweight Jelly, or rich Cream.
- Clinique Clarifying Lotion is available in 5 skin-typed formulas. Which formula is just right for your skin?
- Clarifying Lotion 1.0: Extra-gentle, alcohol-free formula is safe for sensitive skin.
- Clarifying Lotion 1: Mild for very dry skin.
- Clarifying Lotion 2: Gentle for dry combination skin.
- Clarifying Lotion 3: Great for combination oily skin.
- Clarifying Lotion 4: Formulated for oily skin.
- Did you know Clinique’s exfoliating lotion is different from a toner?
- Toners are primarily used to help rebalance skin after cleansing. Clinique Clarifying Lotion is formulated with exfoliating ingredients to help remove dead cells on skin’s surface. Clearing away that debris with Clarifying Lotion makes skin more receptive to moisturizer and treatment products.
Key Ingredients
- Acetyl glucosamine: Helps balance and smooth skin.
- Witch hazel: Helps refine skin.
- BHA (salicylic acid): Helps clear and unclog pores.
Research Results
- Clinique’s Clarifying Lotion face exfoliator instantly delivers clinically proven benefits* for skin that:
- Looks more radiant.
- Looks smoother.
- *Clinical testing on 22 women.

Check all ingredients !
I grabbed this off the shelf in Ulta the other day, thinking it was similar to the sensitive version. Got home and read the ingredients, not only isn't it close to the other but it had ethylene diamene in it and other NON-FDA approved chemicals. Do your homework, and your research and see if this is...

Read the Ingredients!! Disappointed
I really wanted to love this. I am 19 years old and have dry skin so I thought I'd give it a shot. I realized as soon as I got it that denatured alcohol is the second ingredient! Not only is denatured alcohol cheap, but is is also not good for your skin at this high of a concentration!! It was okay for a few days of use, but today my face is broken out, red, and very very itchy. I'm super disappointed :(
Makes my skin terrible!!

This has changed my skin

I talked to one of your skincare experts at Ulta about how despite using different moisturizers and exfoliating scrubs, I would still have flaky dry skin to wear my makeup wouldn't apply correctly or stay on well. She told me those items only help them surface of the skin whereas this goes deeper. She recommended this and the Moisture Surge treatment which has helped tremendously! Now, when I do wear my makeup, I don't have flaky patches on my nose, forehead or chin. I will be purchasing more of both to make sure that my skin stays healthy. Thanks Clinique!
NOT a replacement for Mild Clarifying Lotion!!

This is a POOR replacement for the Mild Clarifying Lotion! It dries out my already very dry skin and causes my rosacea to flare up! You can smell the alcohol in it the moment you open the bottle. Why mess with a good thing?!? NRING BACK THE MILD CLARIFYING LOTION PLEASE!!!
NOT Equivalent to the DC'd Mild Clarifying Lotion
Reviewed at
Not even close to the Mild Clarifying Lotion (MCL) for me. I was directed to this product as an equal to the MCL. So disappointed. This product was VERY drying for my skin. Used once per day. I haven't been able to increase to twice per day. My T-Zone constantly flakes & peels even after applying Clinique Moisture Surge. So, I have used the product. The bottle is empty. I will never purchase again. Now, I am starting my search for a truly mild facial toner all over again.

- Q
I've used clarifying Lotion 1.0 and 1 depending on the dryness of my skin. I've been struggling with acne this summer but I feel my skin is still dry. Which clarifying lotion would you recommend?
- Asked by Heather
- Official Answer By Clinique USThank you for your great question! If you have persistent acne with 3 or more pimples regularly, we recommend the Clinique Acne Solutions Clarifying Lotion, as it will help to treat and prevent acne more effectively. In addition, the higher level of exfoliation can also help with dryness, as it allows your moisturizer to absorb more easily and work more effectively. Add an oil free moisturizer to prevent dryness as well. Moisture Surge 100 Hour Auto Replenishing Hydrator is a great option. To see and feel these products, please visit your local Ulta.Was this answer helpful to you
