I use this during the summer since my skin is more oily. I ALWAYS follow with a moisturizer, just like any other toner. It does what a toner should do: disinfect, exfoliate a little, and prep skin...

A bit too harsh, but that's not the products fault - it's my skin that has changed since I bought this toner. It smells so bad of alcohol, but I didn't find it too drying anyway. Try this if you...

I tried Clinique's toner # 3 years ago and it was way too harsh for my skin. I ended up using and liking Clinique's # 2 toner. Well, recently the benefits of the # 2 toner started to level off...

I'm shocked at all the people who have found this product to be so harsh, because I don't find it to be harsh at all. I guess it just goes to show how everybody's skin is a little different. To...

Very harsh toner. The alcohol content in the toner makes it smell like a bottle of alcohol (what else?). As if the smell is not a big problem in itself, it dries out the skin and because it takes...

I thought I had moderately oily skin, so I chose the level 3 Clarifying Lotion. This is a little strong for me; it makes my fingertips dry and peel-y...on my face it's fine, I don't find that it...

I've been using this toner for 6 years, and I have yet to find anything that works as well as this. First of all, you get a LOT of it for a good price, and you don't need much. I dab it on a round...

Way better than nr. 4 for but still too harsh: use it only if you have seriously oily skin. Besides, it doesn't improve the skin's condition, at least it did nothing to mine other than drying.

I finished using this entire bottle, the small version, my skin did not get better, but worse. To me, this is just a 200ml of alcohol with some water. Harsh on my acne-prone oily skin!!
