5 Must-Have Products From Clinique

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at FIT chapter.

Clinique’s products are made to provide you with safe and effective results. All the products are allergy tested and 100% fragrance free. They are simple to use and make all the difference in your everyday skincare and makeup routine! 

1. Soap 

Facial Soap with Dish, Clinique, $16, shop now

Yes, you can use a Dove bar soap, but you won’t see the same results as you will with Clinique. Clinique has designed a three step skincare routine and their soap is step one. There are a variety of soaps that can be used based on skin conditions such as acne, oil, and dryness.

2. Exfoliater 

Clarifying Lotion 3, Clinique, $27, shop now

This is step two out of three. Like their soap, Clinique’s exfoliater also offers different products depending on the skin type. Exfoliation is known as “the difference-maker”. The reason it has received this name is because it is smoothes the skin and removes pollution and grime away from the skin.

3. Moisturizer

Dramatically Different™ Moisturizing Lotion, Clinique, $28, shop now

This is the last step in the system. Clinique has a variety of moisturizers to choose from, however, the one most commonly paired with the three step is the DML lotion – Dramatically Different™ Moisturizing Lotion. If you have dry skin, you would get the lotion gel, and the jelly for combination skin. Clinique has also launched ID; this is a cartridge that you can insert into your DML moisture for an extra boost. There are many different cartridges depending on what part of your skin needs to be focused on. Be sure to use all three of the steps listed above twice a day, morning and night.

4. Foundation 

Beyond Perfecting™ Foundation + Concealer, Clinique, $30, shop now

There are a variety of foundations that you can choose from depending on your skin type and the coverage you are looking for. Each foundation also has multiple shades that will help to match your skin color. If you want to find your perfect match you can go to the Clinique counter and they will put three swipes on your face to help ensure you get the best shade to match your skin. 

5. Makeup remover

Take the Day Off™ Micellar Cleansing Towelettes, Clinique, $16, shop now

There are a couple different makeup removers to choose from, but my personal favorite is Take The Day Off™, which comes in different formulas from balm to cleansing oil. The wipes are my personal favorite! It is important to remove your makeup and wash your face every night to keep your skin clear. 

My skin has never felt better since I started using Clinique products. I hope you give some of these products a try, you won’t be sorry! I use these products everyday and I don’t know where I would be without them!
