For healthy skin, a gentle exfoliant makes all the difference.

Removes excess oil, dulling flakes, dirt, and pollutants with a gentle sweep to reveal skin that is clearer and smoother.Skin that has been exfoliated is more responsive to hydration and therapeutic treatments, so it is ready for moisturizer.Exfoliation removes surface particles from drier skin types, making room for moisture. Exfoliating twice a day helps reduce excess oil and maintain clear pores for oilier skin types.The second step in Clinique's three-step skincare routine is Clarifying Lotion. Use Facial Soap for cleansing, Clarifying Lotion for exfoliation, and Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion+, oil-free Gel, light Jelly, or rich Cream for moisturizing.
