CLINIQUE IS HERE

By Grace Cook, 3 July 2018

Cleanse. Exfoliate. Moisturise. It’s not rocket science, but sometimes this simple routine can get lost amongst an endless sea of new 'must-have' beauty products. Feeling an urge to get back to basics? That's where Clinique – which just dropped on ASOS – comes in.

Clinique pioneered the first three-step cleansing routine when the brand first launched back in 1968 and the formula of each of the products – a facial soap, clarifying lotion and the world-famous Dramatically Different Moisturising Lotion – has remained unchanged ever since. However, not one to rest on its laurels, the American mega brand has introduced a brand-new addition to the three-step range – the Dramatically Different Hydrating Jelly – an oil-free formula which has all the benefits of the original with a few more added properties, such as pollution protection.

The first-ever dermatology-driven, allergy-tested brand to ever launch, Clinique's products are perfect for those of us suffering from dry, dull and problematic skin. Get to know our favourite Clinique products below…

Workout, what?

Dashing from yoga class to brunch on sunny Saturdays? If so, the Clinique Fit Workout range is your dream training companion. The mattifying moisturiser helps to keep shine at bay, while the neutralising Face Powder balances redness and the 24 Hour Mascara is sweat- and humidity-resistant. Better still, none of the products in the range will clog pores or cause breakouts. Get ready, yoga, go.

Face time

What started with a skincare line quickly grew into a fully fledged makeup offer and with it came its own set of iconic products. From the Even Better foundation (your skin, but even better) to the ultimate classic red lipstick and the Beyond Perfecting Super Concealer (so long dark under-eye circles), these Clinique classics are your next makeup heroes.

For men

New to the Clinique For Men range is the Maximum Hydrator Activated Water-Gel Concentrate, with maximum moisturising properties that boosts the skin’s water reserves for a full 24 hours. Not only that, it also helps to fight blemishes, and is packed full of antioxidant properties to reduce skin stress.
