Wear & Performance: Serves as Step 1 in Clinique’s 3-Step Skin Care System, clearing lipid buildup and dead surface skin cells to prepare the skin barrier for effective chemical exfoliation (Clarifying Lotion).
-
Key Benefits: Formulated with Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Lauramidopropyl Betaine, Sucrose, and Caffeine. 100% Fragrance-free, oil-free, allergy-tested, dermatologist-developed, and non-comedogenic.
2. Key Ingredients & Components
-
Mild Surfactant Matrix (Sodium Laureth Sulfate & Lauramidopropyl Betaine): Balanced cleansing blend engineered to dissolve heavy sebum and pollutants while preserving intercellular lipids to prevent post-wash tightness.
-
Sucrose: Natural sugar derivative that acts as a skin-conditioning humectant, soothing the epidermal barrier during the cleansing process.
-
Caffeine: Anti-irritant active that helps calm redness and inflammation common in congested, oily complexions.
-
Polyquaternium-10: Cationic conditioning agent that leaves skin soft, clean, and prepped without leaving a heavy film or residue.

-
Rinse & Follow: Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water and pat dry. Follow with Step 2 (Clinique Clarifying Lotion 3 or 4 for oily skin) and Step 3 (Dramatically Different Moisturizing Gel).
