Description
Clinique Clarifying Lotion No. 1 200ml — The Most Gentle Step 2 Toner for Very Dry Skin
The Clinique Clarifying Lotion No. 1 200ml is the most gentle formula in Clinique's Clarifying Lotion range — calibrated specifically for very dry skin that needs careful, minimal exfoliation without any risk of over-drying or irritation. As Step 2 in Clinique's 3-Step Skincare System, it sweeps away dulling surface flakes, removes daily impurities, and prepares skin for optimal moisturiser absorption.
Unlike the stronger No. 2, No. 3, and No. 4 variants designed for combination and oily skin types, the No. 1 formula is intentionally mild — containing conditioning actives like sodium hyaluronate and trehalose that add a layer of hydration to the exfoliating step, protecting very dry skin from further moisture loss.
Understanding the Clinique Clarifying Lotion Number System
- No. 1 — Very Dry Skin (this product — most gentle)
- No. 2 — Dry to Combination Skin
- No. 3 — Combination Skin
- No. 4 — Oily Skin (most intensive)
No. 1 is exclusively designed for those with very dry, flaky, or dehydrated skin that cannot tolerate more intensive exfoliation.
Why Choose Clinique Clarifying Lotion No. 1?
- Most Gentle Formula in the Range: Specifically calibrated for very dry skin — the mildest exfoliation available in Clinique's Step 2 toner.
- Removes Dulling Flakes: Sweeps away dry, flaky skin cells and surface debris that make very dry skin appear dull and rough.
- Hydrating Actives: Contains sodium hyaluronate (hyaluronic acid) and trehalose to retain moisture while exfoliating — protecting the very dry skin barrier.
- Witch Hazel: Helps tone and tighten pores while soothing skin.
- Salicylic Acid: At a gentle concentration, helps prevent congestion and refine skin surface.
- Anti-Aging Support: By consistently removing surface flakes, it reduces the appearance of fine, dry lines over time.
- Dermatologist-Developed: Allergy-tested, fragrance-free, and safe for sensitive, very dry skin.
Pair No. 1 with a rich moisturiser from our dry skin skincare collection. Complete your Clinique 3-step routine with cleansers from our cleansers and toners range. For anti-aging support, explore our anti-aging, wrinkles and fine lines collection. Explore more from our salicylic acid products for gentle BHA exfoliation options.
How to Use
- After Step 1 (Clinique Facial Soap), pour a small amount onto a clean cotton pad.
- Sweep gently across the face and neck in one direction — avoid eye and lip areas.
- Do not rinse. Allow to absorb fully.
- Follow immediately with Step 3 moisturiser (Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion+ or rich cream for very dry skin).
- Use morning and evening.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How is No. 1 different from No. 2?
A: No. 1 is the most gentle formula, designed exclusively for very dry skin. No. 2 is calibrated for dry to combination skin and provides more active exfoliation. If your skin is very dry, flaky, or sensitive to standard toners, No. 1 is the right choice.
Q: Can I use it if I have sensitive skin?
A: Yes. No. 1 is the gentlest Clarifying Lotion available — allergy-tested, fragrance-free, and suitable for very dry and sensitive skin types.
Q: Does it contain alcohol?
A: Yes, alcohol denat is listed in the formula — a common ingredient in Clinique toners. However, it is balanced with hydrating actives (hyaluronic acid, trehalose) to minimise drying effects on very dry skin.
Q: Do I rinse it off after applying?
A: No. Apply with a cotton pad and leave on skin — do not rinse. Follow with moisturiser.
Q: Is No. 1 suitable for combination or oily skin?
A: No. No. 1 is too mild for combination or oily skin — those skin types will get better exfoliation results from No. 3 or No. 4 respectively.
