Description
Clinique Clarifying Lotion No. 3 400ml — Step 2 Exfoliating Toner for Combination Skin
The Clinique Clarifying Lotion No. 3 400ml is Clinique's Step 2 exfoliating toner specifically formulated for combination skin. Sitting at the middle of Clinique's clarifying lotion strength spectrum, No. 3 delivers a more targeted exfoliation than the gentler No. 2, making it ideal for combination skin that experiences a mix of oiliness in the T-zone and dryness in cheek areas.
With active ingredients including Niacinamide, Salicylic Acid, and Willow Bark Extract, this clarifying lotion goes beyond surface exfoliation — it clarifies pores, controls excess oil, and supports a clearer, more balanced complexion with daily use.
Understanding the Clinique Clarifying Lotion Number System
- No. 1 — Very Dry Skin (most gentle)
- No. 2 — Dry to Combination Skin
- No. 3 — Combination Skin (this product)
- No. 4 — Oily Skin (most intensive)
No. 3 is the ideal choice for combination skin that needs more exfoliation than No. 2 provides but is not excessively oily enough to warrant No. 4.
Why Choose Clinique Clarifying Lotion No. 3?
- Targeted for Combination Skin: Balances oily T-zones while respecting drier cheek areas — the calibrated No. 3 formula avoids over-stripping.
- Niacinamide: Helps refine pores, minimise excess oil production, and improve overall skin tone.
- Salicylic Acid (BHA): Penetrates into pores to dissolve congestion and prevent breakouts — especially beneficial for acne-prone combination skin.
- Willow Bark Extract: Natural source of salicin — supports gentle exfoliation and soothes skin.
- Pore Refinement: Regular use visibly minimises pores and reduces blackheads.
- 400ml Large Format: Excellent daily-use value for twice-daily routine commitment.
