Hi guys, I have been using this product for 3 weeks now and I find it very gentle yet very aggressive in terms of cleansing the skin. I use their cleansing foam as well even after that when I use the lotion it cleans and leaves the pad with residue or dead skin making my skin very soft and oil free. would recommend it to people who are oil free and want to clean skin

Tips: best use this before sleeping and after using hot water making your pores big and be cleaned
I purchased this as part of Clinique's 3-Step system Anti Blemish which as suggested specifically targets acne-prone, oily skin. The 'Clarifying Lotion' is step 2 in the system, the 'toner', which I thought I'd spell out as initially the word 'lotion' to me suggested more of a moisturiser.
The product comes in a simplistic plastic bottle, which is standard format for most toners and I like as it allows you to see how much product you have left. Formula-wise the toner has an alcohol-y, chemical smell but it's not too overpowering or.off-putting.
I apply this after cleansing morning and night using a cotton pad. For an acne-treatment product I like that the formula doesn't sting my skin like others I have tried. While I wouldn't say it necessary 'unclogs pores' or by itself would 'reduce redness', I think it's a good toner for oily skin. After using it my skin felt clean but not overtight. Like all toners though it definately pays to moisturise afterwards.
I've been using this off and on over the last couple of years and so far it's the only toner I have ever repurchased, and I will continue to do so. Thumbs up from me!
Tips: If you're not sure if this is for you but you're after a complete skincare system, Clinique does starter packs that contain the cleanser, toner and moisturiser which are a pretty decent size and allows you to try them out to see if you like them, as Clinique is a bit pricer than some other available skincare brands.
I use this every morning when I am having a break out or one is starting to peak it’s head out. I also use at night if I think I need it. This stuff works! It’s like magic! And so easy! I also find it doesn’t leave my skin dry. I can put moisturise over it, then primer and makeup if I want to. But I usually just cleanse then apply it. If I’m in a hurry and just want to go to sleep, and am not wearing makeup, I skip cleansing and just pop some on my problem areas.
Tips: I don’t use a cotton pad as it suggests you use, as I prefer to avoid the wastage and find it unnecessary. I tip a little on my hand, pat / rub between my hands / fingers, and dab onto my problem areas. I cannot rave about this product enough as it has completely fixed my skins, in days!
