- Q
Is the exfoliating scrub for dry skin?
- Asked by Nilo
- Official Answer By Clinique USGreat question! Clinique Exfoliating Scrub is a skin-clearing, water-based scrub for strong, oily skins. It de-flakes, refines, softens tiny lines and leaves skin refreshed. We prefer Clinique 7 Day Scrub Cream Rinse-Off Formula for dry skin as well as all other skin types. This glow-getter gives skin a smooth start as it gently sloughs away roughness and flakiness. We recommend massaging onto clean skin avoiding the eye area. Tissue off or rinse off with water. Start with 1-2 times a week and increase frequency usage over time.Was this answer helpful to you

- Q
The product is great, but it's not very viscous, so getting out of the tube is a struggle. Are there any tips/tricks to getting it to come out more easily? Or does it come in a tub?
- Asked by Harps
- Official Answer By Clinique USGreat question! Try massaging the tube prior to dispensing product. Wet makeup-free skin with water. Using fingertips, massage product onto skin in a circular motion avoiding the eye area and lips. Rinse off and follow with your skin care routine. You can use it 3-4 times a week.

- Q
Does this cleanse my skin? Please don't just repeat the instructions. I always remove my makeup first. Most of the time I would be using this is in the morning. I always wash my face before bed so there's no makeup. I just need to know if I still need to wash my face before/after using this.
- Asked by Chris
- Official Answer By Clinique USThank you for your question. We do recommend using Clinique Exfoliating Scrub on make-up free skin, once a day, in the morning on over wet skin. Rinse thoroughly and follow with Step 1-3 of your 3 Step Skincare System, including your favourite cleanser to ensure a deep cleanse. Enjoy. Was this answer helpful to you

The grit is gone...
WAS my favorite go-to item for more years than I care to count, have bought literally hundreds of tubes. The grit is gone and it's basically just a cream now. No point in it (key word: exfoliating) and I've thrown away my last 3 tubes, kept buying thinking it would get better. Sad when you've remain...

Bad break out
It felt amazing for 2 days ,but then I saw I was breaking out so I thought that I should continue to use well… it started to break me out and it felt greasy. And then it broke me out for two months I am still trying to get rid of them :( . I would say not to get ,but that would be me being petty because different products work for different people.
Not as good as before!

Over the years, this has been the BEST exfoliating scrub. Gone is the nice minty, tingling, clean feeling! Why? My friends & fam all loved after trying over the years, not so much now. Same as all the other brands now :(

I will still purchase this scrub, but I REALLY wish you had kept the menthol in it. I have been a faithful Clinique customer since my teens -- I am now 63. I have loved and used this scrub for decades and so appreciated the fresh menthol scent and the feeling it gave my skin. Please bring the menthol back -- or offer it with and without ...
