Wish it came in bigger size!!!
Since I've turned 40, I've been dealing with hormonal acne. The acne 3 step system was a lifesaver at keeping it under control!! I use this at least every other morning, followed by a light moisturizer. The amount of dirt/dead skin this thing removes is amazing especially during summer. My skin always looks so bright and smooth after. During my time of the month is when I have to use all three products(acne foam cleanser, acne lotion and all over clearing treatment). It can be a little drying sometimes and suggest scaling back on the usage when this happens. My only gripe is PLEASE MAKE A BIGGER SIZE!!

Effective at Clearing Up Acne!
I am so happy that I tried this product. At first I was worried that it may irritate my skin but it did nothing of the sort. In fact, it has worked wonders at helping to clear up my breakouts of hormonal acne on my skin and forehead. I started to get more acne in my 40s now due to hormonal changes and reintroduced the Clinique 3 step acne care line to help clear up my skin and several weeks in to using this regime, my skin is glowing. I use the Clinique foaming acne wash first, then this Clarifying Lotion, followed by the Clinique clinical clearing gel. This lotion is gentle and non-irritating and works to exfoliate your skin sloughing off dead skin cells that clog your pores. It also helps to tone down the oil on your face so it is less shiny.

Love this product!
Both my 51 year old self and my 13 year old daughter use this product and we love it. It's gentle enough on each of our very different skin types, but it is very effective in helping control her teen acne and keeps my older drier skin from getting the occasional breakout by exfoliating with the the targeted ingredients. Ans it works very well with my other Clinique skincare routine.

Good for summer
This is a potent and effective toner that combats acne and blemishes. This clarifying lotion helps to exfoliate dead skin cells, unclog pores, and control excess oil production. It leaves my skin feeling refreshed and revitalized. However, individuals with sensitive skin may find it too strong or drying. I did enjoy it with my combination skin during summer.
