I was impressed by its versatility and non-drying nature. I do see an effect and like to use this when I don't use water to cleanse as a second cleanser after wipes. It's a toner, exfoliator, cleanser...Read more

I find the Clarifying Lotion 4 to be milder and much more effective without the irritation compared to Clarifying Lotion 3. Due to the similarities of the ingredients listing to the Acne Solutions Lo...Read more

To those who say this isn't an exfoliator, salicylic acid is mild chemical exfoliator, the way an AHA is. So it does exfoliate. Still, I would never use this as my sole means of scrubbing. I like a go...Read more

I like this toner. It is a good exfoliator, I noticed within 1-2 weeks that my face felt smoother with continued use. Also, it does a good job at removing all the extra crap that hides in my pores. It...Read more

Surprisingly, you would think that Clarifying Lotion 4 would be quite strong, but I find it isn't. That's a good thing! I do not use this twice a day as Clinique and their BA's suggest. Instead, I use...Read more

I only use this at night for exfoliation. It really doesn't keep me matte in the day, I use Chanel's Lotion Purete for that. It really does exfoliate, fits well in my regime.

I love this product. When I use it, my skin become a new vision. It cleans my pores well and make them a little bit smaller.
