Clinique Clarifying Lotion 2 Review

I like that this toner feels like it's actually doing something. My skin felt tighter, cleaner and more fresh after using it. However sometimes I feel like it can be a little too strong and astringent and the first couple of times I used it it stung my skin a little bit. However I think it does a good job of cleaning and clearing out my skin.

When I was younger and my skin was a lot oilier I used to use the number 3 and even 4 toner which did what I needed at the time. Now that I am older and my skin is a lot drier, albeit with the occasional hormone-induced pimple, I am loving this Clinique Toner. I find that it gets rid of dried bits of skin without drying out the skin. My skin looks and feels much fresher after I use it and my pores appear smaller.

As part of the Clinique 3 steps, I used it Lotion. I love it, it leaves my skin clean and fresh. I use it before the moisturiser, it does make my skin fresher and brighter. The smell might be a little bit strong, but you get used to it. Love Clinique products.

I have oily skin and find that Clinique's Clarifying Lotion 2 helps deep clean my skin and remove all dirt and make up leaving it smelling fresh and helping close my pores. It does help prevent break outs and as it doesn't have an overpowering smell my hubby also uses it when he gets the odd spot! For me, this is a luxury purchase as I think it is quite expensive so don't use it with other Clinique products.

This is a very intense toner. The first time I used it with a cotton pad I was amazed how much dirt came off my face even after I had cleansed my skin. I would use this again however.. I found it very harsh on my skin, after a few days of use my skin didn't seem to need such an intense toner and it did leave my skin incredibly tight..

I use this as my daily cleanser and I must say, I really, really like it. Despite what others might say about whether cleansers are really necessary, I think they are.

Your face wash will only get rid of so much.

I use this on a cotton swab and use long swiping motions working UP my face. The hairs on your face will still have product stuck under them once you've washed most of your make up off. So if you swipe up, instead of down, it'll get rid of the last little bits of gunk.

The smell is a little strong though, that's probably the only thing I don't like about it.

I love Clinique skincare and have been using their three step system for a couple of years now.

I apply this lotion with a cotton pad in between using their cleansing face wash and dramatically different gel. It does a good job of removing oil and dry skin as it claims and leaves my skin feeling a lot fresher after use. I sometimes do not use this product in between cleansing and moisturising and I find my skin to feel a lot oilier - especially around my nose - so I believe it is an imperative step in the three step system.

I originally thought Clinique's products seem overpriced but upon using them I can notice the difference to supermarket brands - they completely changed my skin type after using for a couple of weeks and I noticed a seriously clearer complexion. The bottles are quite large too so the product lasts a while - I find mine to last around 6 months.

This is honestly like angel tears in a bottle. Previous toners have always made my skin feel tight and drying this however feels amazing on drys fast but without the tight dryness that the toners with alcohol content seek to do. In conjunction with my Clinique cleanser and take the day off balm I now have such amazing skin and for The first time in years im proud to go out bare faced.

This is my favourite toner of all. I have used 4 400ml bottles already. I trialled it at Clinique counter that my makeup needed to be removed. This toner was the only product used on my skin to remove my makeup. Its dramatic function caught my eye straight away. I use it everyday for clarify my skin especially for removing makeup. I don't need to use makeup remover, one bottle of Clinique is enough. After wash, I'll put another layer on for toning function, followed by daily moisturiser. A big 400ml bottle costs about $50-60 but lasts for at least 6month. I'm also using variety of brands skin care along with it. There's no allergy at all.
