Review 1 for Clarifying Lotion 3
Clean and Clear Complexion
-06.17.13
Quick Take: non-drying
Product does what it says it will do. And it doesn't dry out my senstive skin. It feels a little tingly when you apply it which is fine. Great product!

Works for me!
-05.21.13
I have very oily skin and find that this one works wonders for me. I use this religiously w/ the facial soap (oily skin) and mosturizing gel. It's also not drying which is a plus.

Quick Take: non-drying, refreshing
I've used a lot of toners that actually dry out my skin and leave it feeling tight. This left it soft and smooth! Highly rec'd.

Review 7 for Clarifying Lotion 3
This Product is Great, except the alcoholy smell
-05.14.13
Quick Take: refreshing, acne treating, non-drying
I like this product. I have to admit that I haven't tried too many toner's in the market. But, considering that I'm pretty picky about what I use on my face, I think this product is just fine but for the super alcoholy smell that it has. That is the only reason I give it 4 stars instead of 5.

A must!
-05.02.13
Quick Take: refreshing
This is an absolute staple in my daily skin are routine. I find it really deep cleans the skin without stripping it and leaves a fresh, not tight, feeling. It's cleared my blackheads completely.

Clinique Clarifying Lotion 3
-05.01.13
Quick Take: great pore minimizer
I have tried other products that claim to shrink or minimize pores, but they didn't work. This did. It's one of the products I can't live without.

Best clarifying lotion

Quick Take: gentle but effective
I had really oily t-zone but this product is the best I have found to bring freshness and cleanliness without burning or drying.

Review 12 for Clarifying Lotion 3
It does contain alcohol.
-04.06.13
Quick Take: good
This toner is quite good, very cooling and I am sure it cleans after the cleanser I use. I am just afraid it will dry me out. Now so far I am only using it once a day or even less. Depends if I don't have breakout or anything, I will just use something more hydrating and soothing. But it has very good value, price is great. So I will keep it and use it for breakout issues! One of those good to have items!

Clarifying Lotion No. 3 by Clinique
-03.23.13
I've used this exfoliant for years. CL 3 is a necessity in the Clinique 3-step skin care system I use it after washing my face, and before using the dramatically different moisturizing gel. Definitely an essential in skincare excellence. Appropriate for normal/combination skin.

Awesome
-03.09.13
This is a great toner for oily skin. Unlike the Clinique Acne Solutions Clarifying Toner, which tingles a little on your skin, this does not tingle or leave any redness. I use morning and night and love the results.

Nothing Special
-02.24.13
Quick Take: acne treating
I'm not a huge believer in Clinique's 3-step program, and this is mostly why. The toner doesn't do anything! I would always buy it when I ran out, and realized it didn't do anything so I stopped buying it (just omitted it from my skin routine) and noticed no change. Since then, have switched to an over-the-counter toner that has no alcohol and I've been much happier.

Works great!
-02.24.13
Works great. I use after washing my face. does not over dry. Gets the last traces of makeup, dirt, oil, etc. off. Follow with your moisturizer. Then I use my primer & apply makeup for perfect application everyime. Then, at the end of the day I use it after washing off all my makeup. My skin has looked & felt cleaner since.

Review 19 for Clarifying Lotion 3
Love it
-02.15.13
Quick Take: refreshing, acne treating
I have been using this product religiously for years! I regularly get compliments on my skin & I always credit it to this! It takes off all my makeup & gets rid of all my oil. I have combination skin & the alcohol base on this does dry me out sometimes so as long as I apply a moisturizer my skin is fabulous! I would highly recommend this to anyone & everyone. Over the years I've gotten some of my friends hooked!

Review 20 for Clarifying Lotion 3
-02.12.13
The toner is alcohol based and it is pretty obvious that it is. The alcohol dried out my skin a bit but it wasn't a problem once I moisturized. It exfoliated my skin and did what it's supposed to do. Nothing special. However, it was a bit harsh on my skin as I have sensitive skin so I use it every other day.
