Alcohol in this clarifying lotion dries the upper skin layer but causes the skin to produce even more oil undernmeath. That instant feeling of freshness is in my opinion not worth the long-term...

This clarifying lotion is, in my opinion, terrible. I was given the 13.5 ounce bottle by my mom and used it for less than a week. I used it the way the directions told me to for two days. Then,...

Oh man, the worst toner I've ever tried (also the first one). Since it was my first toner, I thought all the toners smell like alcohol, but I was wrong. Only this one smell like alcohol. You can...

Oh man, this stuff burns, but it burns so good! Someone mentioned it's a chemical exfoliator, not so much a toner, and that's perfectly right. It's only actually really painful if you have...

This product works if you use it correctly. It is not a toner. It is a chemical exfoliator. The sting is only the feel of menthol. Use a cotton ball NOT a pad otherwise you will use too much. You...

I started using this product when I was 15. I had basically clear skin with a few whiteheads/blackheads. I used this product for two days and I got full blown acne and the oiliest skin ever. ...

I felt the need to add my opinion on this product, since it has worse reviews than I'd expect. I was recommended it by a friend who has drier skin than mine, so some of the reviews confused me. I...

I really love this toner! You'd think that your skin would get clean while washing it, even with a good-quality cleanser. However, if you use Clinique's toners, you'll still see some dirt, etc....
