History [edit]
In 1967, American Vogue magazine published an article called “Can Great Skin Be Created?”, written by beauty editor Carol Phillips with Dr. Norman Orentreich, discussing the significance of a skin-care routine. Evelyn Lauder, daughter-in-law of Estée Lauder, read the article,[1] and brought it to Estée’s attention. Both Carol Phillips and Dr. Orentreich were recruited to help create the brand, and in August, 1968, Clinique premiered as the world’s first allergy tested, dermatologist-driven line at Saks Fifth Avenue.[2]
Evelyn Lauder, an executive at Estée Lauder and member of the Lauder family, created the Clinique brand name and developed its line of products.[3] Lauder worked as the training director for Clinique.[3] She was the first person to wear the trademark white lab coat, now worn by Clinique salespeople at cosmetic departments worldwide.[3]
Clinique was the 3rd brand that was "born" from the Lauder Group. The 1st brand being Estee Lauder then Aramis and followed by Clinique.
Allergy tested [edit]
Clinique formulates their products avoiding known allergens; they test each product for allergic reactions by applying it to 600 people, twelve times, with a standard of zero reactions.[4]
Skin care [edit]
Clinique's most notable product is its 3-Step System. The product combination varies depending on the skin type of the user. The basic assumption behind the Clinique method is the maintenance of hygiene and cleanliness as the foundation of caring for all skin conditions.[5]
Product Differences [edit]
While the product names are consistent,[6] the formulations of each product can vary across different countries. Each formula is regularly re-evaluated and assessed for potential improvement, resulting in changing of ingredients.[7]
General cosmetics [edit]
Although mostly known as a skincare line, 52%[citation needed] of revenue for Clinique is derived from their makeup, 25% from foundation alone. Clinique also carries a line of makeup brushes coated with an antibacterial solution.

Clinique Medical [edit]
In 2008, Clinique announced a partnership[8] with Allergan, the maker of Botox and former cosmeceutical partner of Elizabeth Arden, with the result being a new line called Clinique Medical. The line is only available in physician's offices. The 5-product set is designed for pre- and post-operation skin care, and targets complications such as redness, tightness, burning, irritation, discoloration, among others that "slow the healing process."[9] The regimen includes a probiotic cleaner, skin conditioner, recovery complex to treat redness and discoloration, a treatment cream for lines and wrinkles, and a moisturizer with SPF 38.
