Clinique is a subsidiary of Estee Lauder, established in 1968. The mission of the Clinique brand is to meet skin care needs of each individual. Clinique dermatologists and chemists came up with a three step formula of caring for skin by first cleansing, then toning and finally moisturizing. The basic Clinique assumption is that cleanliness and hygienic maintenance as the basic premise to care for every skin condition. All Clinique problems are tested to resist allergic reactions and contain no fragrances.
Each Clinique customer who stops at the cosmetics counter of the department store offering Clinique will be tested scientifically to determine skin type, then given a customized treatment program. This Clinique method will take into account the skin type, facial type, lip type, eye color and several other facial attributes.
Clinique cleansers are gentle, as is it eye make up remover. Instead of removing makeup with a thin solvent, Clinique has devised a creamy and rich lotion that spreads on the eyes evenly and removes all signs of eye makeup quickly.
Clinique’s Comforting Cream Cleanser is fast acting as well, and is rich enough to protect delicate and dry skin. Its cleansing agents also refresh oily skin. Its menthol ingredients loosen and remove dead skin cells while they get rid of the day’s dirt and excess oil. Clinique also offers a gel cleanser especially designed for oily skin to dislodge dirt and makeup.
Clinique introduced its Anti-gravity Firming Lift Cream in October 2000 which helps the rebuilding of skin’s aging epidermis, inhibits the breakdown of the skin’s protective layers and gives skin cells longer healthier life.
Clinique products are now sold in more than 80 countries.
