Clinique Daily Gentle Face Exfoliator — Lightweight Silica Scrub Cream 8.5 fl oz, fragrance-free & allergy-tested

Clinique 7 Day Daily Gentle Face Exfoliator is a lightweight, silica-based scrub cream that gently polishes skin to smooth texture and improve makeup application without irritation.

Developed with dermatological expertise, this water-based exfoliating cream removes rough, flaky patches while remaining allergy-tested and 100% fragrance-free. The formula uses silica as a mild physical exfoliant suspended in a hydrating cream base so it buffs away dead skin without stripping moisture. Because it's designed for all skin types, you can integrate it into your routine to refine texture and allow moisturizers and treatments to absorb more evenly.

How does this exfoliator refine skin texture without causing irritation?

The exfoliator relies on fine silica particles in a gentle cream vehicle, which buff away flaky cells while the water-based formula maintains a soothing feel. Clinique’s dermatologist-developed approach focuses on low-irritation exfoliation and avoids added fragrances that can trigger sensitivities.

• Fine silica granules provide controlled, physical exfoliation.
• Water-based cream minimizes friction and helps glide over skin.
• Allergy-tested and fragrance-free to reduce irritation risk.
• Designed to smooth without disturbing skin’s natural moisture barrier.

How often should I use this scrub and at what step in my routine?

Use this exfoliator as often as your skin tolerates—many people use it two to three times per week, while others may use it daily if their skin is accustomed to gentle physical exfoliation. Apply after cleansing and before serums and moisturizers so the smooth surface helps active ingredients penetrate more evenly.

• Apply to clean, damp skin for gentle buffing.
• Rinse thoroughly and follow with serums and moisturizer.
• Adjust frequency based on sensitivity and visible results.

Will this product work for my skin type—oily, dry, combination, or sensitive?

This exfoliator is formulated for all skin types: the lightweight cream base hydrates drier skin while the mild silica helps refine oil-prone complexions without over-drying. Because it’s allergy-tested and free of fragrance, many with sensitive skin find it tolerable, though a patch test is always recommended for highly reactive skin.

• Light cream texture hydrates as it exfoliates—good for dry and combination skin.
• Physical exfoliation helps visibly smooth oily or textured skin.
• Fragrance-free, allergy-tested formula reduces common irritation triggers.

What practical benefits will I see after using this exfoliator?

Regular use helps reduce roughness and flaky patches, creating a smoother, more even surface that improves how makeup lays and how moisturizers absorb. You may notice softer skin, reduced appearance of fine dry lines, and improved radiance as dead skin cells are removed and skin texture becomes refined.

• Smoother skin surface for better makeup application.
• Cleaner-feeling skin with diminished visible flakiness.
• Helps minimize the look of fine, dry lines over time.
• Compatible with most skincare routines and products.

Who is this for: Clinique 7 Day Daily Gentle Face Exfoliator suits anyone seeking a mild, dermatologist-developed physical exfoliant that balances effective polishing with a gentle, hydrating feel. It’s a practical choice for people who want to improve skin texture, prep skin for serums and moisturizers, and avoid fragranced formulas—appropriate for beginners to experienced exfoliation users, provided you adapt frequency to your skin’s sensitivity.
