    Advantages Advantages Exfoliates effectively, brightens skin, removes oil

    Disadvantages Disadvantages High alcohol content, chemical not natural

    Clinique 3 step skincare products seem to be "love it or hate it", with some people complaining that they contain too many chemicals and too much alcohol, making it harsh and stripping the skin. There is no denying that this is hardly the most natural skincare range, and I do like to use some natural products where possible, but when it comes to daily skincare I want something effective. Clinique make the claim that "good skin can be created". So does it work? In my opinion, that is a definite YES. About the range - is type 3 right for you? The 3 step skincare products are available in a ... more

    2 Stars Too harsh! 07/02/2009
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages Does remove oil and dirt from skin

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Too harsh

    I bought this as part of my Clinique 3 Step Routine and it's the only part of the routine that I don't really like. It costs £14 for a 200ml bottle but unlike the cleanser and the moisturiser, this one doesn't last that long. There are 4 different types to choose from which are just numbered from 1 - 4 , this one, number 3, is for oily skin. It comes in a pink see through bottle with a lid that just screws on, but there's no special dispenser or applicator, it's one of those ones where you just have to tip it up onto your cotton wool and then apply it to your face, which means often you can ... more

    Advantages Advantages Sweeps away anything the cleanser missed

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Stings, and dries out the skin.

    Clinique Clarifying Lotion for oily skin is Step 2 of the "3 step skin care system" by clinique. Clarifying lotion for oily skin is in an opaque dusky pink bottle, with a pistachio green screw cap. It carries the distinct clinique logo in silver print. All clarifying lotions by clinique, are toning exfoliators, which lift away dead surface skin cells to make the complexion smoother. This is step 2, as step 1 gets rid of dirt, oil and debris from the skin, and step 2, the clarifying lotion gets rid of the more stubborn dead skin, and any junk which the cleanser couldn't get rid off. The oily ... more

    Advantages Advantages It unclogs pores very well

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Stings

    I have to admit that I've had this product on my shelf for a few years and shyed away from it as it was quite painful to use. It does sting, and can dehydrate your skin a littel bit. My skin would feel tight but smooth after use. I didn't use it regularly because of this. Then one evening, fed up with not being able to shift my foundation, I put some Clarifying Lotion 3 on some cotton wool and for want of a better word started to gently rub my face with it. It seemed to unclog my pores instantly. Icontiued this for a week or so and found my skin tone and texture improved, blemishes cleared and ... more

    Advantages Advantages Only a small amount is needed so it lasts ages

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Expensive - approx £23 for 400 mls but look online for cheaper prices

    I have mainly oily skin which is prone to very bad spots, but I started using this product just over a year ago and I love it. It really cleanses my skin, removing excess make-up, grease and dirt which would otherwise clog my pores. I still get the occasional break out but my skin recovers much more quickly since using it. It leaves the texture of my skin much smoother and enables moisturiser to absorb in much better. I have had positive comments about the texture and appearance of my skin since using this product. I find that if I stop using it for a period of time, my skin appears duller. I ... more
