Clinique Skin Care

Clinique Products, Reviews & More!

Clinique skin care has been around since 1968. In it's time, Clinique has striven to create a 5 star cosmetic and skin care line like no other. In 1968 Clinique debuted in Saks Fifth Avenue, an extremely high caliber department store. Clinique skin care is only carried in select retail locations, making them hard to find for some clients. Now, with the Internet, it’s easier than ever!

This exclusive skin care line provides women the tools to improve and perfect their skin. Not only does Clinique specialize in over-the-counter cosmetics and skincare, they have linked with the medical community to provide products for clients suffering a range of dermatological problems such as skin discoloration, signs of aging and acne.

Clinique 3 Step Skincare Dry Skin
Overview Of Clinique Skin Care Products

Clinique skin care is often sold as 3-Step Skincare. This gives you a product each for cleansing, exfoliating and moisturizing. The sets range from dry/very dry skin formulas to oily skin so there is something for every skin type. This is the most popular routine and no matter what products you choose you will likely be using one of these steps.

With the 3-Step Skincare you will receive a gentle cleanser (bar or liquid), a clarifying lotion (a toner/exfoliant) and a moisturizing lotion or gel (for oily skin). The motto is “3 steps, 3 minutes. Twice a day. In about two weeks dull and flaky becomes lively and translucent. Works gently, with each step enhancing the next.” The prices average from $46-$50 depending if you choose bar cleanser or liquid cleanser.

For those who are fighting acne, there is a completely medicated skincare package. The Acne Solutions Clear Skin System! The starter kit for this line does not retail at $200 or even $50, but at an affordable $32.50! This three step (remember this from earlier?) acne kit combines cleansing foam, clarifying lotion and clearing moisturizer to fight acne and prevent new acne from forming. Clinique Acne Solutions Clear Skin System Plus, Clinique’s consumers have been so successful with this product that Clinique promises within six days, if used twice daily, the consumer will see amazing results. If there are no results within six days, Clinique offers a money back guarantee.

Clinique Free Gift

One of the best parts? Depending when you purchase you may receive a Clinique Free Gift. Often this is a cosmetic bag filled with Clinique cosmetics and skincare. Some products are samples and some are full size. The Clinique Free Gift changes regularly, so be sure to check with your local Clinique counter to see what is currently being offered during Clinique Bonus Time. Who doesn’t like freebies?

My Review Of Clinique Products

I have long been a fan of Clinique. I have my aunt to thank for that! Being the cosmopolitan type she always uses Clinique skin care and makeup. I remember being 8 or 9 and fascinated with her train case full of luxurious looking lotions and potions and always smelling good, not chemically.

As an adult, I was not disappointed. Suffering from very dry skin is normal for me and I told my Clinique associate about it. She didn’t bat an eye and immediately pulled out the correct products for my skin and treated me right there in the mall! (Not my favorite, though. Too much foot traffic!) Additionally, when I finished she gave me generous samples of each product so I could try them for about a week before committing to buy.

Obviously, I was extremely happy with them and have been a loyal customer for the last decade. I am not a consistent client, because I am always trying new products and brands, but Clinique is a brand I can always go back to and get consistent results.

Plus, I enjoy the free gifts...

Clinique Bonus Time

My biggest problem is dry skin, and the Liquid Facial Soap is one of my favorites. It doesn’t leave my skin dry and tight feeling, but I feel clean too. It removes any makeup, except waterproof mascara, without over-drying. Smells good too! Thumbs up! I also like the Redness Solutions Soothing Cleanser to help my natural ruddiness.

I, personally, don’t use an exfoliator often, so my bottle of Clarifying Lotion lasts forever. It does leave my skin feeling tighter than I like, but it's ok if I'm purposely exfoliating.

Finally, I love the Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion (also known as “the original yellow moisturizer”). It hydrates my skin without leaving it greasy or oily feeling.

Overall, even though I’m not a consistent client I love Clinique products, and I think you will too. Try them for yourself. Clinique skin care has been around for over 40 years and continues to provide consistently good results.
