Today, I will be reviewing the Clinique Clarifying Lotion 2. Reading the word lotion, don’t think that this is a lotion or cream. It is a liquid. It behaves like a toner. It also gently exfoliates the skin. Ok now, read on to know more about the product. I got the dry combination one because my cheeks have become really dry and peeling off.

My experience with Clinique clarifying lotion 2
Packaging
Colour and texture
It is a clear liquid
Fragrance
It smells like alcohol and some medicine, I didn’t really like it. never mind, since the smell vanishes within 5 seconds of applying this clarifying lotion
Experience
I have enjoyed using Clinique skin care products and I expected a lotion which means a cream when I saw this. But, to my surprise, it is called a clarifying lotion twice a day exfoliator but it is actually a liquid. It is a toner that also exfoliates the skin gently. But, it has a very peculiar smell which I dislike. Also, this product does nothing miraculous. It just behaves like any other normal toner. I wasn’t really happy with this product. There are a few good things like it doesn’t dry out the skin. It just removes the impurities from the skin and it is paraben free and has been developed by dermatologists especially for dry combination skin. I took the dry combination skin clarifying lotion expecting it to be a lotion and so that I can apply it on my drying cheek area to get that much-needed moisture. But this is not a lotion. It is a liquid toner. I didn’t really enjoy this product.
Overall performance of Clinique clarifying lotion 2
Pros
- Allergy tested

- Dermatologist developed
- Oil-free
- Paraben-free
Cons
- Expensive
- Less quantity
- Does nothing miraculous
- Other better clarifying lotions in the market
- Peculiar medicinal smell

Would I repurchase or recommend this?
Not really, since this didn’t really help me in any way. Also, it has this really weird smell of some medicine, which I didn’t like. There are many other clarifying lotions in the market that perform better than this product.
