Highlights
Clarifying Face Lotion 2 for dry-combination skin is Clinique’s bestselling exfoliating lotion. Dermatologist-developed formula sweeps away dulling flakes.
Benefits

- For drier skin types, exfoliation whisks away surface flakes, clearing the way for moisturizer.
- Dermatologist developed and tested
- Allergy tested

- 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 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.
- 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.
- With less-noticeable pores.
- *Clinical testing on 20 women.

I use this product consistently.
Since I like Clinique products, I always purchase the Clarifying Lotion for my skin type.
Saved my skin
Ive used this for years and decided to switch to another brand recently. I immediately started breaking out. I started using this again, along with the 100HR moisture surge moisturizer, and my face is comepletly clear. Could not recommend enough.
I would most definitely buy this product again.
I have been a recurrent user of Clinique skin care products for nearly 40 years. I love every product I buy.
I have bought this product x2.
This product leaves my skin feeling soft, smooth and does not dry it out, especially after removal of facial hair.
Always a good toner
I always use this as part of my three step Clinique skin care. It smoothes the skin very nicely.
