Few brands have the beauty pedigree of Clinique.
A ‘90s beauty icon, Clinique has successfully (and what seems like effortlessly) transcended time and short-lived beauty fame by consistently launching products people love, carrying its cult status to the present day.
Now that’s what ‘the youths’ would call “icon behavior.”
Clinique’s strong influence continues to collect a brigade of makeup and skincare lovers who have fallen in love with their smudge-proof mascaras, hydrating moisturisers, luminous serum foundations and more…
And, of course, we can all thank TikTok for re-introducing us to the viral sensation that is Black Honey; famed for its chameleon power of looking good on all skin tones.
As someone who has slew of Clinique skincare and makeup products on their beauty shelf, I thought I’d do a round-up below of some new and not-so-new Clinique products you should have on your radar…
You know, just to serve as a gentle reminder of how many excellent and beauty bag-worthy products you could be missing out on!

My mini Clinique Even Better Clinical Brightening Moisturizer review:
There’s no matching the popularity of 'Clinique moisture surge', but this fast-absorbing, pillowy cream comes in at a close second for the best Clinique face cream.
Having only launched this year, I had only tried it for the first time recently and loved its rich (but not at all heavy) texture.
I like to wear it under my makeup in the morning as it leaves an almost instant dewiness on the skin; it’s also worth mentioning that a little truly goes a long way with this cream (that’s why I don’t feel guilty about applying it both AM and PM).
It feels beautiful on, is really easy to work with and blankets the whole face with one small application.
Expect your skin to feel softer and more hydrated too.
The biggest standout for me though is its unique CL302 Brightening Complex™ that promises to help with dark spots and dullness which is always worth a luxe price tag for me.
