The ideal time to start a consistent skin care program is in your early teens, or as soon as you begin to experience concerns such as breakouts or excess oil. Keeping skin properly cleansed, exfoliated and moisturised is the key to a lifetime of clear, healthy-looking skin.

Our Skin Diagnostic makes it quick and easy to find your customized 3-Step System. We also offer individual consultations- including photo upload and text chat online- with an Accredited Clinique Consultant from 12pm-4pm and 6pm-10pm Monday to Friday. And a visit to your local Clinique counter is also a great way to get started on a great-skin routine.

For the healthiest skin, yes. Clinique’s 3-Step Skin Care System is dermatologist-developed to work synergistically, with each step enhancing the next. Our gentle, non-drying soaps help loosen the dead skin flakes that Clarifying Lotions sweep away—which in turn helps skin better absorb moisture and other anti-agers.

Clinique's dermatologists believe there's no substitute for the thorough cleansing you get from soap. It's simply the best way to remove facial dirt and oil. Our non-drying bar and liquid formulas do the job gently, rinse off completely, and leave all Skin Types feeling fresh and clean—never taut or dry.

Clarifying Lotion is our gentle, Skin-typed exfoliator. We call it 'the Difference-Maker'—for good reason. For drier skins, it gently sweeps away dead, flaky cells to allow moisturiser to penetrate into skin, help makeup glide on more smoothly and reveal skin's glow. For oilier skins, it sweeps away the dead skin cells and excess oil that can clog pores and promote breakouts. Skin looks fresher, feels cleaner—and makeup wear is improved, too. 

Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion+ is a lightweight lotion that replenishes moisture and strengthens skin's moisture barrier. Dramatically Different Moisturizing Gel provides all the superior moisturising benefits—but in an oil-free gel formula that's a favourite for oilier skins.

Yes! All Clinique products are allergy tested, meaning they have been clinically tested by a medical research organisation under the supervision of dermatologists. Using repeat-insult tests, if anyone in the test group demonstrates allergic contact dermatitis, the Clinique product is not released for manufacture. Additionally, because fragrance is a major cause of sensitivities, all Clinique skin care and makeup products are 100% fragrance free.

If you usually experience that once-a-month breakout, your customised 3-Step Skin Care System will help keep skin clear. When breakouts do occur, add Acne Solutions Clinical Clearing Gel to help clear blemishes. If your breakouts are more frequent, it might be time for our Anti-Blemish Solutions Clear Skin System. It effectively treats blemishes without drying or irritating the skin, and even contains anti-irritants to help calm and soothe skin's appearance.

Clinique's Age Defense BB Cream and Moisture Surge CC Cream are both oil-free, multitasking skin perfectors that offer broad-spectrum sun protection. BB Cream helps control oil and blur imperfections; it delivers moderate-to-full coverage with a semi-matte/matte finish. CC Cream helps colour-correct anything sallow, dull, grey or red; its lightweight, moisture-giving formula provides sheer-to-moderate coverage and a naturally radiant finish. Both can be worn alone or under foundation.

Superprimer is a line of lightweight, oil-free face primers that create a smooth, perfect canvas for a flawless makeup finish. It uses opposing shades to colour correct complexion concerns so foundation shades look colour-true. Yellow corrects redness. Pink colour-corrects dullness in lighter skin tones. Soft Bronze corrects dullness in deeper skin tones. Peach colour-corrects discolourations. Lavender colour-corrects sallowness. For all skins, Superprimer Universal Face Primer smooths the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and helps perfect the look of pores to enhance makeup wear.

At Clinique, we believe foundation needs to fit your Skin Type as well as your skin tone to be a perfect match. Try our online Foundation Finder: In just 60 seconds you'll discover the foundation you were born to wear. We also offer photo upload chat from Monday to Friday 12pm-4pm and 6pm-10pm with an Accredited Consultant who's an Expert in finding just the right formula and shade. For an in-person try-on, simply visit a Clinique Counter near you.

1. Start by creating an ideal makeup canvas with your appropriate Superprimer; it helps smooth skin's appearance and allows colour to glide on evenly. 2. Next, apply your Clinique foundation with our Foundation Brush. 3. Finish with a loose powder, like Blended Face Powder, to 'set' foundation and encourage longer wear.

When using liquid foundation, apply a small amount to the back of your hand and dot the brush into the foundation. Dab it onto the skin where needed, starting at the centre of face, blending outward with smooth strokes. When using cream or powder foundation, sweep the brush over the surface of the compact; apply with broad strokes on larger areas like the cheeks, and with edge of the brush for more precision around the nose and eyes.

To get a sun-kissed glow without exposing skin to harmful UV rays, use our Bronzer/Blender Brush to sweep bronzer where the sun naturally touches—forehead, nose, cheeks and chin.

For starters, avoid using oily products in the eye area. Then before shadow goes on, prep lids for improved application and wear with All About Shadow Primer for Eyes. It helps create a smooth, perfected canvas—and holds All About Shadow eye colour in place for up to 12 hours.

Clinique’s guiding dermatologists tell us that 80% of the lines on our face are due to daily sun and environmental exposure. That's why using SPF 15 or higher on a daily basis is the single best anti-aging step you can take, complemented by customised, twice-a-day care like our 3-Step Skin Care System.

Clinique has targeted anti-ageing options, from defense against the first signs of ageing to firming and lifting to bring back skin's look of 'bounce.' Check out our Skin Care Routine Finder to find the customised products for your skin’s needs. We also offer individual consultations- including photo upload and text chat online-with an Accredited Clinique Consultant to address your unique skin concerns from 12pm-4pm and 6pm-10pm Monday to Friday.

To keep your skin looking youthful, strengthening your support structure and guarding from additional environmental damage is important. Our anti-ageing Repairwear Laser Focus Serum for the face and eye area is a great start. Apply 3-4 drops twice a day over entire face and around eyes after your 3-Step Skin Care System.. Follow with your appropriate treatment moisturiser and daily sunscreen.

To fade the appearance of darker areas and even the look of skin tone from hormonal changes, sun exposure or past discolouration, as well as help prevent new spots from forming, use Even Better Clinical Dark Spot Corrector. It helps reduce dark spots and discolouration, and helps even the look of skin tone. Apply it twice a day over your entire face (avoiding immediate eye area) after your 3-Step Skin Care System. Remember: since UV rays stimulate the production of darker pigment, using sunscreen every day is a must.

Serums are targeted to particular concerns, but are not meant to provide moisturisation. When skin lacks moisture, its barrier function can become compromised, diverting energy from renewal. By layering your treatment moisturiser over your Clinique serum, you're giving skin the best environment to promote renewal: barrier- supporting moisture plus a double-dose of ingredients targeted to your concern.

The skin around your eyes is different from skin on other areas of your face—it’s only one-tenth as thick and has very few oil glands. That’s why it’s one of the first places to show visible signs of ageing. Targeted care that's specifically formulated for this delicate skin can help defuse the effects of eye-area aggressors, now and in the future.

Yes, we do. Superdefense Age Defense Eye Cream Broad Spectrum SPF 20 is a hydrating eye cream that helps protect against the appearnace of early signs of ageing caused by UV rays—as well as stress, pollution and dehydration. 

Absolutely. Clinique's Anti-Blemish Solutions Clear Skin System works to clear away dead skin cells and excess oil so you'll start to see clearer skin. Partner with Anti-Blemish Solutions Liquid Makeup; it helps to both clear and cover the appearance of blemishes to create the perfect canvas.
