Summary
Clinique’s Clarifying Face Lotion 3 is a refreshing exfoliating lotion for combination-oily skin. Dermatologist-developed formula sweeps away excess oil.
Benefits
- Skin Types: Combination Oily
- Sweeps away pollution, grime, dulling flakes, and excess oil to reveal smoother, clearer-looking skin.
- 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
- Clinique Clarifying Lotion is available in 5 skin-typed formulas. Which formula is just right for your skin?
- Clarifying Lotion 2: Gentle for dry combination skin.

I liked the 3 step system in the past so after some time just not being consistent with skin care, I restarted the 3 step system for Combination Oily Skin with the oil free cleanser and moisturizing gel recently and notice feeling really clean right after washing, but then my t zone is oily 2 hours after I wash. Am I not using the right product, or does this get better as your skin adjusts in the first week? Should I add the moisture surge moisturizer temporarily? Help!
- Asked by Jessica
- Official Answer By Clinique USFor the best results, we recommend using the Clinique 3-Step Skin Care System twice daily. You can follow with the Clinique Moisture Surge 100H Auto Replenishing Hydrator for oil free hydration.Was this answer helpful to you

Customer for life!
I have used Clinique products for a dozen-ish years now, and have no plans to ever change that. They are consistent, and my skin is clear. In the past, I have tried other things from time to time, but have always come back to Clinique because nothing compares.

Clarifying #3
I have been using Clinique for years and am disappointed in the new Clarifying lotion #3 formula which appears to be a watered down version of the old formula.I'm oily and It doesn't exfoliate as well and you don't feel the tingle. I even stepped up to the #4 and it's slightly better but doesn't do ...

The alcohol scent is very strong, and if they fix that, it will be much better. Other than that, it really refreshes my face, and after using it for a week, I can say my skin looks noticeably more radiant, clean, and smooth.
So glad I've returned to it!
I was using years ago and stopped thinking it wasn't 'helping'. Recently returned to using and so glad I have.
Only Product My Boyfriend Uses
He religiously uses this stuff after washing his face and coming out of the shower. Helps keep the oils and breakouts at bay. When he doesn't use it he notices a negative impact on his skin. It doesn't dry his skin out and helps with flakes around his nose and mouth.
The BEST!
Absolutely love this product! I am 59 and been using it since my 20's. Cannot express the difference this product has made in my skin care routine (am and pm). Add in the Clinique lotion, and I have (always) been a Clinique product lover for more than 35+ years. Use it…it's light and moisturizing…love it!!!
My Love 💗
