✓ Salicylic and Glycolic Acid Blend | ✓ Lilac Complex Minimises Shine | ✓ Clean Clinical Skincare Standard

IMAGE Skincare CLEAR CELL Salicylic Clarifying Tonic is a daily clarifying and toning solution for oily and blemish-prone skin that lightly exfoliates, sweeps away dead skin and minimises shine in one swipe. Built on salicylic and glycolic acids with a soothing lilac complex, it is the clarifying toner that preps congested, shiny skin for better results from the rest of your routine.

The formula pairs a beta and alpha hydroxy acid blend - salicylic acid to exfoliate and clear away excess oil, glycolic acid to lift dead skin build-up from the surface - with IMAGE's plant-based lilac complex, which helps to soothe the skin and provide a mattifying effect. Witch hazel water, green tea, arnica and chamomile extracts sit alongside tea tree, eucalyptus and camphor oils, plus the honey, boswellia and oligopeptide-10 complex that runs through the CLEAR CELL collection. IMAGE Skincare CLEAR CELL Salicylic Clarifying Tonic has been newly modernised to meet IMAGE's clean clinical skincare standard, so it is formulated without parabens, phthalates, mineral oils, artificial fragrances or synthetic dyes.

Visible Results Users Love

Visibly less shine and a fresher, mattified finish
Smoother, more refined-looking skin texture
Fewer visible clogged pores and less congestion over time
Skin that feels clean and prepped, so serums absorb better
A calmer feel thanks to the soothing lilac complex

Why This Beats a Standard Clarifying Toner

Two acids, not one - IMAGE Skincare CLEAR CELL Salicylic Clarifying Tonic combines salicylic (BHA) and glycolic (AHA) acids to work in the pore and on the surface
A soothing lilac complex mattifies without the tight, stripped feel of a harsh astringent
Daily-use strength, so it slots into a morning and evening routine rather than a once-a-week peel
Meets IMAGE's clean clinical skincare standard: no parabens, phthalates, mineral oils, artificial fragrance or synthetic dyes
Part of a complete CLEAR CELL system, so cleanser, tonic, serum and moisturiser are designed to work together

Best For

Oily and combination skin that shines by midday
Blemish-prone and congested skin with visible clogged pores
Uneven, rough-looking texture
Anyone who wants a leave-on exfoliating step without a scrub

Choose IMAGE Skincare CLEAR CELL Salicylic Clarifying Tonic if your skin is oily or blemish-prone and you want a daily, leave-on exfoliating step between cleansing and serum; for travel or the gym bag, CLEAR CELL Salicylic Clarifying Pads carry the same solution pre-soaked.

Becci is a registered aesthetics nurse with more than two decades in specialist skincare and medical aesthetics, and oily-skinned clients come to her for honest advice after years of over-stripping their faces with harsh toners. IMAGE Skincare CLEAR CELL Salicylic Clarifying Tonic is the one she recommends because it exfoliates and mattifies with a measured acid blend and a soothing lilac complex, which is a far kinder way to manage shine than scrubbing it away.

FAQS

Is IMAGE Skincare CLEAR CELL Salicylic Clarifying Tonic good for oily skin? +

Yes - IMAGE formulated it for oily, blemish-prone skin. A salicylic and glycolic acid blend lightly exfoliates and sweeps away dead skin while the lilac complex minimises shine, so it is the daily toner Becci suggests for skin that is shiny by midday.

Does CLEAR CELL Salicylic Clarifying Tonic need rinsing off? +

No. Sweep it over cleansed skin on a cotton pad or gauze and leave it to dry, then follow with serum, moisturiser and - by day - sunscreen.

How often can I use it? +

IMAGE says morning and evening as needed. If you are new to acids, start once a day and build up; if excessive dryness, peeling or irritation occurs, reduce usage.

What is the difference between the Salicylic Clarifying Tonic and the Salicylic Clarifying Pads? +

The ingredient lists are identical - the pads are the same clarifying solution soaked into textured pads. The 118ml bottle is the better value at home; the 60-pad jar is the travel and post-workout option.

Can I use IMAGE Skincare CLEAR CELL Salicylic Clarifying Tonic with retinol? +

You can, but keep them to separate routines - the tonic in the morning and retinol at night is the simplest split - and drop back to once a day if your skin feels tight. CLEAR CELL Clarifying Repair Crème uses bakuchiol rather than retinol and is designed to sit in the same routine.

Does it contain alcohol? +

Yes - alcohol denat. is the second ingredient, which gives the fast-drying, mattifying finish. If your skin is very dry or sensitised, the CLEAR CELL Restoring Serum and Mattifying Moisturiser are the gentler, hydrating members of the range.

Is the Salicylic Clarifying Tonic suitable for teenagers? +

Yes. IMAGE recommends the same formula (as pads) for teenagers and after physical activity. Start with one use a day and always follow with sunscreen in the daytime.

What does clean clinical skincare mean on the label? +

IMAGE's clean clinical skincare standard means the formula is made without parabens, phthalates, mineral oils, artificial fragrances, synthetic dyes or animal testing. The tonic was newly modernised to meet it.

Can I use IMAGE Skincare CLEAR CELL Salicylic Clarifying Tonic during pregnancy or while breastfeeding? +

This product contains salicylic acid and glycolic acid, which IMAGE Skincare lists among the ingredients doctors typically advise avoiding during pregnancy or breastfeeding; the brand says it would not recommend its salicylic products at this time and asks customers to consult their physician first. Check with your midwife or GP before use - IMAGE points to its ORMEDIC collection as the range it describes as free of those ingredients.
