Clinique is a manufacturer of skincare, cosmetics, toiletries and fragrances, owned by the Estée Lauder Corporation.

[edit] History

In 1967, American Vogue magazine published an article called “Can Great Skin Be Created?”, written by beauty editor Carol Phillips with Dr. Norman Orentriech, 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 hypo-allergenic, dermatologist-driven line at Saks Fifth Avenue.^[2]

[edit] Allergy tested

Clinique tests its product for allergic reactions by applying it to 600 people 12 times, with a standard of zero reactions.^{[citation needed]}

[edit] Skin care

Clinique's soap contains tallow and lye as the bases. There are three formulas available in North America and Europe; Extra-mild, Mild, and Oily.

Clinique also has a facial care line called CX which contains products targeted towards specialized needs, such as stretch marks associated with pregnancy.

Clinique also carries a skin care line targeted to men.

[edit] General cosmetics

Although mostly known as a skincare line, 52%^{[citation needed]} of revenue for Clinique is derived from their foundations. Clinique also carries a line of makeup brushes coated with an antibacterial solution.

[edit] Fragrances

Clinique's original fragrance is Aromatics Elixir^[3].

[edit] Clinique Medical

In 2008, Clinique announced a partnership^[4] 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."^[5] The regimen includes:
