Clinique

Clinique skincare and makeup

Clinique is a skincare and cosmetics house founded in New York City in 1968, with dermatologist-guided products. Here you will find Clinique face care, cleansing, makeup and sun protection: cleansing foams, gels and balms, moisturising creams and gels, serums, masks, and complexion and eye makeup.

Skincare is the largest part of the range. Under face cleansing there are foams, gels, soaps and makeup removers; face creams include the Dramatically Different and Moisture Surge moisturisers for dry, oily and combination skin; and eye creams cover an eye cream, an eye gel and an eye serum. The Anti Blemish Solutions line is made for oily, blemish-prone skin. There is also a men’s face wash, sun protection for face and body, and foundation, powders, mascara and concealers.

Clinique suits anyone who wants a simple, clear routine. Clinique states that its products are allergy tested and fragrance free. The Clarifying Lotion comes in four numbered types.

Which Clinique cleanser should I choose?

It depends on skin type. Cleansing balm and milk suit dry skin, while a foam or gel suits oily and combination skin. A separate eye makeup remover is available for makeup removal.

Are Clinique products suitable for sensitive skin?

The Clinique range includes many allergy-tested, fragrance-free products, such as the Extra Gentle cleansing foam. Details are on each product page.
