The Clinique Story
Clinique's story began with a great conversation. The year was 1967, and revolution was in the air as a savvy Vogue Magazine reporter named Carol Phillips interviewed Dr. Norman Orentreich, the high profile Manhattan dermatologist. In explaining his skin care philosophy, Dr Orentreich expressed a simple idea that would transform the beauty industry: Great skin can be created. At the time, the general attitude towards skin care was that great skin was mainly a function of lucky genes. But the resulting cover story marked the beginning of a new era in skin care. With the introduction of the now world-famous 3-Step Skin Care System - a daily cleansing, exfoliating and moisturising routine - Clinique was born. It was the first ever dermatologist-created, allergy-tested, 100% fragrance free collection of beauty products. Women rejoiced, and Clinique swiftly earned the loyalty and trust of a legion of fans. In fact, the 3-Step System was so universal and so well-constructed, that the original formulas remain the heart of Clinique's dynamic approach to achieving beautiful skin. Today, Clinique's mission remains what is was from the beginning: to provide the highest quality and most effective collection of products to enhance every skin type and tone. The brand's customized approach and quality products - all meticulously tested and carefully formulated with the latest science and ingredients have made Clinique one of the most popular, user-friendly brands in the world. At the forefront of Clinique are the consultants, expertly trained to skin type and custom-fit skin care and makeup for each individuals needs at every Clinique counter. |
