In reply to KaCie. Kacie, the Clinique lotion isn't exfoliating. Plus, it has some actives, like Alcohol and witch hazel, that can be irritating. You can follow me on Instagram. My handle is beautifulwithbrainsofficial

I was using the Clinique 2 toning liquid. I decided to use this instead. I have dry skin that gets some oil around my nose. How would you say they compare? Also do you have social media outlets that I can follow you on for more information 🙂

Debra, I would recommend you use them on alternate nights if possible.

In reply to JC.

JC, I didn’t say in the review that glycolic acid is completely useless for oily skin. But it’s not oil-soluble so it’s not able to penetrate – and therefore unclog – pores as well as salicylic acid. For oily skin prone to breakout, that’s the priority and there’s no denying that salicylic acid is the better option here. So no, I can’t cite sources that say that glycolic acid is useless for oily skin but there’s plenty of evidence that salicylic is better than glycolic for oily and acne prone skin. This study is just an example: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2921757/
