Clinique

Estée Lauder Inc. started Clinique, one of the worlds’ largest suppliers of makeup and fragrance products. Its first major coup, which made it different from other companies, was its goal to match skin care needs with the individual’s skin type. It is one of the lower priced divisions of Estée Lauder, which makes more affordable for many. When Clinique first started, skin care was top priority to Clinique, who implemented their 3-step skin care system. The steps are cleaning with a facial bar soap, exfoliating with a toner and moisturizing with a moisturizing lotion they offered. The Clinique skin care system was designed for individual skin types so everyone would benefit.

After the introduction of Clinique moisturizers, skin care stepped up a completely new level as they could make Clinique skincare products for oily skin, too. The 3-step system is still heavily in use today. If you go to a store that sells Clinique skin care products, you will find Clinique consultants ready to help you with a special computer to determine whether your skin type is dry, combination or oily. This allows them to ensure that you get the Clinique skin care product that will suit you best.

There is a large Clinique skincare range of products for every skin type. Some of their product line includes Clinique skincare for women, Clinique skin care for a man, as well as a huge line of Clinique fragrances. The Clinique skincare range for men steers towards:

Skin care such as eye hydrator, lip balm and M-Protect 21 (a sunscreen)
Shaving products include pre-shave exfoliating scrubs, electric shave primer, shaving creams, gels and oils.
Grooming consists of hair maximizing shampoo and hair maximizing styling serum.

Clinique also bases their skincare for men on the 3-step system: facial soap, scruffing lotions, and M-lotion. There is a great line of men’s fragrances, which include scents like Jamaican ginger, citrus, and amber. Clinique’s first women’s fragrance, Aromatic Elixir, which celebrated its 35th anniversary in 2006, is made up of rose, jasmine, ylang ylang, and vetiver.

Clinique skincare ingredients are allergy tested and fragrance free to assure that you don’t develop problems while using them. If you have any concerns or questions, research a Clinique skin care review to see what other consumers have found. Some people that reviewed the products didn’t care for the toners but liked the soap. You should use the reviews as a guideline, but base your opinions on your own experience with any of the Clinique skin care products.
