This has been a firm staple in my beauty arsenal for about 5 years now. It leaves the skin clean,fresh, hydrated and blemish free. From the 3 step system the Clarifying lotion is my favourite. Nothing beats Clinique's toners. They really do a great job of getting rid of cleanser residue and tightening the pores. I would highly recommend using this 3 step routine morning and night for a happy skin.
