What it actually does

• Two percent salicylic acid in a wash-off step. Clinique positions this as a daily cleanser that removes dirt and excess oil while helping to clear pores for a healthier-looking complexion.
• Loosens dead surface cells. Salicylic acid and acetyl glucosamine work on the dead skin cells that can end up contributing to clogged pores.
• Addresses oil build-up. Laminaria saccharina extract is included to help fight the oil build-up that can lead to blemishes.
• Covers a wide range of skin types. Listed for normal, dry, combination and oily skin, so it is not restricted to very oily complexions.
• Part of the Clear Skin System. Clinique frames it as one piece of a consistent, non-irritating routine aimed at the look of blemishes.

How to use

1. Use it in the morning and again at night.
2. Give the pump two or three presses into your hand.
3. Massage gently over wet skin, keeping clear of the eye area.
4. Rinse well, then pat your skin dry.
5. Follow on with Acne Solutions™ Clarifying Lotion, then Dramatically Different™ Moisturizing Gel — both sold on their own.
6. Keep going once blemishes have visibly cleared — Clinique recommends continuing for preventive care. If you notice dryness or peeling, cut back how often you use it.

Questions

How much salicylic acid is in it?

Two percent, per Clinique. Because it is in a cleanser, contact time is short — this is a daily maintenance step rather than a strong leave-on treatment.

What if my skin starts feeling dry or flaky?

Clinique's guidance is straightforward: reduce how often you use it. Dropping to once a day, at night, is the usual adjustment.

Should I stop once my breakouts clear?

No — the brand suggests staying on it for preventive care after blemishes have visibly cleared.

What is it free of?

It contains no sulfates of the SLS or SLES kind, no parabens and no phthalates. It is gluten-free as well.
