Too much pollution, global warming and the daily stresses of life – this terrible trio wrecks havoc on our skin’s natural renewal system. Our skin produces fresh cells that replace the dead ones on the surface of our epidermis every day but when this natural process is hampered or delayed, dead cells accumulate and clog pores, thus creating a dull surface appearance. Clinique’s gentle answer to this? Its reformulated Clarifying Lotion in four strengths that is gentle enough to be used twice a day, every day! New formulas for today’s world.
Let’s clarify matters
Not everything that has the prefix “ex” is bad for you. In fact, exfoliating the skin on a daily basis boosts the shedding of dead skin cells, which in turn encourages healthier, better performing, clearer skin. Developed with the specific needs of Asian’s skin in mind, Clinique’s NEW Clarifying Lotion Twice A Day Exfoliator helps skin to effectively shed dead skin cells and reveal a more vibrant, radiant complexion. Containing Salicylic Acid which aids in the removal of dead surface skin cells, the updated formula also contains buffering agents which include Sodium Hyaloronate, Glycerin and Trehalose to make exfoliation more comfortable and help maintain skin’s moisture equilibrium.

Healthy skin of any type or age, can be exfoliated twice a day, every day – the key is providing the right strength of exfoliation for each individual’s needs.

Pearls of Wisdom
Clinique Guiding Dermatologist Dr. David Orentriech answers some much-asked questions about exfoliation:
Will exfoliation irritate my skin?
Regardless of skin type or age, healthy skin can be exfoliated twice a day, everyday without irritation – the key is providing the right strength of exfoliation for each individual’s needs.
How can exfoliating daily help skin look younger?
Daily exfoliation removes dead skin cells resulting in clearer, smoother, more even-toned and translucent skin.
Why does Asian skin require a more gentle form of exfoliation?
Asian skin is more sensitive and prone to allergic reaction. The skin barrier function is “weaker” or more “permeable”, as demonstrated by the propensity to lose significant moisture through evaporation. Despite the greater “reactivity” of Asian skin, the right exfoliation, customized to the needs of sensitive skin, will enhance function and maintain skin in its best possible condition.
