I use this toner twice a day after cleansing and before applying the Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion.
It leaves my skin feel even cleaner and very refreshing after cleansing. It really removes dead skin, dirt, and oil that cleansing alone leaves behind. I haven't experienced any irritation or burn which is amazing.
My skin looks and feels wonderful, it does look a little brighter and plumped. It keeps my blackheads at bay, tops breakouts before they start. My make-up goes on smoother and looking amazing on my skin.
I was converted to Clinique products early last year, and am a very big fan. This clarifying lotion agrees with my skin, and I like how it doesn't have a strong chemical type of smell. My face always feels a lot cleaner after I complete this step, would definitely recommend.
Tips: Not really a tip, but I use cotton pads to apply, not cotton balls. Cotton pads cover a bigger area and do not leave fluffy residue I have found.
