Why don't they just call this "paint thinner" instead? Harsh, harsh, harsh.

Ok, I have been skeptical about the whole 3 step, actually violently opposed to it. I recieved a full sized 3 step for free, and chose the products I wanted: mild liquid soap, #3 lotion (figured I...

The first toner I ever bought! I liked it and it worked okay on my skin, it is way better that #2 as that one smells horrid. It took off the dead skin and the makeup and was smooth.

Used this for about 2 weeks. My skin broke out something serious. And the smell!!! Awful. Way to drying in general for my skin.

On my 3rd bottle. HG! I have bitchy acne-prone skin that not even ProActiv was doing anything to help. I grew tired of shelling out $45/6 weeks for it, so I decided to try Clinique's 3 step...

I changed from #2 to #3 and I find that #3 is actually not as harsh on my skin as #2(I thought the sales assistant was crazy when she told me this, but its true!)Apparently the #3 doesn't have any...

This product left my skin very dry and red. It is way too harsh and I think I'm going to find a toner that is not alcohol-based.

A toner will be a toner. But for the price it is pretty good. I use it as part of the 3 step clinique process and i found that i like the toner the most. It just gets rid of the extra dirt that may...

Wow, is all I can say. I've been using Clinique for the past 3 years and began the 3-step system on Clarifying 3. And of course, I've stopped using it here and there to try other products, but...

Clarifying Lotion #3 smells like straight vodka, but it really helps to dry out oily skin and prep it for moisturizer. I've never found it to be too harsh or irritating, despite the smell. The only...

I love this product #3 was a lot better for me than #2, because #2 kinda burned my skin where as this one does not. My face is much clearer after using this approx a month. It removed so much...

I use a lot of clinique skincare products and I like this one a lot. It smoothes and helps me be less oily. I do not like the 3step system because the soap dries me out but I use the toner and DDM...

This product is great for skin that tends to be oily. If you have never exfoliated on a daily basis before, start out with a small (200 ml) bottle of #2 and work your way up to this one, and be...

I was always afraid to use this because #2 was way too harsh for my acne prone skin. #2 would burn my face and make it red. So I have been using the Mild version, and its nice and gentle. But in...

The perfect toner for my skin. When it's in my budget I buy it. The thing with the 3-step system is that it does take time to work. I worked for Clinique for 3 years, and when I first started out,...

The SA at Clinique suggest the #3 since I have oily/acne-prone skin. This completely dried out my skin, which caused my skin to produce more oil and more breakouts. If you are going to get any of...
