Best Toner for my aging skin!
This toner smooths my skin and makes it glow without drying it out. I follow the toner with Dramatically Different Moisturizing Cream and my skin is very happy!

Soothing Exfoliator
I love this exfoliator! I use it twice a day for my red, sensitive, acne prone skin. It makes my skin feel smooth and clean, but never tight or dry. I was having dryness issues with the Level 2 exfoliator so I am glad I switched! Soo happy with this purchase! Maybe it'll be travel size soon? ;)

No comparison to Mild Clarifying Lotion
I'm trying to be polite, but I bought Clarifying Lotion 1 because it seems to be the best of the worst for my Type II skin. I used Clarifying Lotion 2 for two decades and loved it. I stopped using it when I developed rosacea and later went on retinoids, but now that my skin has fully adapted and rosacea is in full remission, I wanted to repurchase No 2. I was surprised that it is the only Clarifying Lotion out of all 6 that contains no salicylic acid—its main ingredients are alcohol and witch hazel. I don't understand why a lotion designed for dry/combination skin would include degreasing alcohols/astringents while leaving out the benefits of pore-refining, rosacea-friendly BHA. Even the lotions designed for the most sensitive skin, such as 1.0 contain BHA. I picked up Clarifying Lotion 1 only because Clinique replaced the excellent Mild Clarifying Lotion with version 1.0, which I loathe for the same reasons other reviewers dislike it. Clarifying Lotion 1 is OK, but it doesn't make my skin feel refreshed, I have noticed zero skin refinement, and I've started to see more facial redness. I also wish that Clinique would stop adding dyes to skincare. Finally, naming different products with different goals in the same line (Clarifying Lotion 1 and Clarifying Lotion 1.0) is a skincare mistake waiting to happen and provides a poor (confusing) customer experience.

#1 stings when applied now but never did before
I've been using Clarifying Lotion #1 for at least 10+ yrs now and it's never done this (see below). I always have 2 bottles on hand as backup. When I changed over to my 2nd bottle recently (2nd was bought at a later time than the first), everyday when I use it, I notice that under my eyes, on the sensitive upper cheek area, it stings when applied, burns a little and turns my skin pink and raw. It also seems to really dry out my skin (skin turns flaky and white in areas until I apply moisturizer) more than usual. I thought it might be from me using additional Clinique products for a more complete skin regimen that I've been doing recently. But none of the other Clinique products I added recently stings or does this. After reading other reviews, it seems it's likely the effects of the alcohol that others have also experienced. #1 has never done this the entire time I've used it over many years. Considered switching to 1.0 but I just don't know now. Has your ratio or list of ingredients in #1 changed recently? Can I anticipate that #1 will always do this going forward? Because if so, I can't use it anymore. I don't use anything on my face, or body, that stings, burns, or turns it red.

Great product, but maybe rethink the bottle?
This works well on my aging, dry combination skin. It isn't drying and seems to do the job of exfoliating well. I removed a star because the bottle isn't a dropper cap, like with toners or other exfoliants. More than once I've turned it over and accidentally dumped out a bunch of product because I forgot that it's just a full bottle opening. Waste of product and a mess. Add a plastic disc to the end with a small hole like other products and this would be 5 stars easily.
