Clinique Clarifying Toner 2, 400ml

Description

Clinique Clarifying Lotion 2 is a 400 ml liquid exfoliating lotion for dry to combination skin. It sweeps away pollution, dirt and dulling flakes, and instantly gives skin a more radiant look.

What is Clinique Clarifying Lotion 2?

Clinique calls it a dermatologist-developed liquid exfoliator that helps skin look smoother and more radiant, with less noticeable pores. The cool, refreshing lotion prepares skin for moisturiser and makeup. Its key ingredients are acetyl glucosamine and witch hazel. Clinique says that used twice a day, the lotion helps remove surface flakes, and fine dry lines can become less visible.

Who it is for

Clarifying Lotion 2 is made for dry to combination skin. For very dry skin, Clarifying Lotion 1 is the match, and for combination and oily skin it is Clarifying Lotion 3. Use the lotion twice a day, morning and night, after cleansing. For more products see our face cleansing category.

How to use

1. Cleanse your face with your usual cleanser.
2. Moisten a cotton pad with the lotion.
3. Sweep gently over your face and neck, morning and night.
4. Follow with your moisturiser and, if you like, makeup.

Formula and texture

The lotion is a light, refreshing liquid that glides easily over the face on a cotton pad. The formula contains glycerin, witch hazel, acetyl glucosamine, trehalose and sodium hyaluronate, which help skin stay soft and hydrated. Clinique states that the lotion is fragrance free and oil free and contains no parabens or phthalates. Exfoliated skin takes up moisturiser better, and makeup goes on more smoothly. The lotion is step two of Clinique’s three-step routine: cleanse, exfoliate, moisturise. The Dramatically Different moisturiser from our shop is a good next step.
