SKIN CARE

Our skin care products come from brands that are trusted and relied upon around the world, helping people feel confident and beautiful at any age. Looking towards global growth, we will continue to focus our efforts on continued innovation and a deeper penetration into Asian skin care.

Drawing on its heritage as a skin care authority, Clinique focused on creating solutions for two of the most vexing skin care problems, redness and acne. Clinique Redness Solutions measurably reduces visible redness and the Clinique Acne Solutions Clear Skin System helps heal, conceal and prevent acne. In U.S. prestige department stores, Clinique is the best-selling skin care brand. Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion is a perennial best seller-in fact, one bottle is sold every four seconds, 24/7, around the world.
