Meet 8 of the Essential Clinique Skincare Products

Want to know what’s always on high rotation in our beauty kits? Clinique skincare products. Clinique is one of our favourite brands of all time.

Its affordable formulas are tried and tested, with decades of research and development behind them. In other words, you know you’re using the good stuff on your face.

Let’s also take a moment and think about the iconic Clinique 3-Step Skin Care System, which made cleansing, exfoliating, and moisturising the foundation of everyone’s skin routine.

If you’re new to Clinique skincare products and have caught yourself googling ‘which Clinique products should I use’, you’ll value this comprehensive guide to the best Clinique products.

Find out everything from the best Clinique products for blemishes to the best Clinique anti-wrinkle products for those over 50. You’re welcome.

The best Clinique products for blemishes:

1. Daily treatment gel: You can’t go past the Anti-Blemish Solutions range if you’re shopping around for Clinique products for blemishes. In particular, Clinique Anti-Blemish Solutions Clinical Clearing Gel is one of the best Clinique products of all time.

It’s something we can’t get enough of if we’re trying to target pimples. The transparent gel can be applied all over your face to prevent breakouts from appearing or used as a spot treatment on individual blemishes.

If you’re keen on knowing Clinique’s product ingredients, you can count on the Witch Hazel in this whiz to dry out pimples and encourage them to disappear.

2. Cleansing mask: Clinique Anti-Blemish Solutions Oil-Control Cleansing Mask also deserves a place on any list of the best Clinique products. Powered by Clay to mop up excess oils on your skin, this mask works in just 5 minutes.

Use it 2 to 3 times a week to ‘degunk’ your pores. Psst … the product is also free from artificial fragrances, so it’s safe for sensitive skin.

The best Clinique products for sensitive skin:

3. Custom-blend hydrator: All of Clinique’s skincare products are fine to use on sensitive skin, as they’re fragrance and irritant-free. But some goodies deserve a special shoutout in this story. For instance, Clinique iD is a customisable range that lets you pair a hydrating base (such as Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion+ or Clinique Dramatically Different Hydrating Jelly) with a Concentrate Cartridge to target skin concerns such as Uneven Skin Tone, Irritation, or Pores & Uneven Texture.

We’ve got to give it to the brand: Clinique iD is one of the best Clinique products to come our way in recent days.

4. Soothing cleanser: Clinique Redness Solutions Soothing Cleanser is another Clinique skincare product to try if you have sensitive skin. This non-irritating, creamy cleanser won’t dry out your skin and melts away makeup and the day’s debris without causing irritation.

We’re loving the Probiotic-based formula too, which can strengthen the skin’s barrier and get redness under control.

The best Clinique eye products

5. Eye cream: As for the best Clinique product for eyes, Clinique Pep-Start Eye Cream is one of the best Clinique eye products hands down. And it’s not just because of the bright orange packaging, which can really elevate your ‘shelfie’.

The teensy tube features a cooling ball tip that lets you massage the product in without using your fingers. It feels good, it’s effective, and it’s a nice touch for germophobes (and who isn’t one these days?).

6. Dark circle corrector: Another Clinique eye product that deserves a mention is Clinique Even Better Eyes Dark Circle Corrector. This one features a metal tip to address puffiness around your eyes. Use twice a day—morning and night—for best results.

The best Clinique anti-wrinkle products

7. Anti-aging moisturiser: Now, there’s absolutely nothing wrong with fine lines and wrinkles. They’re a badge of experience! But if those creases are a pet peeve of yours, we can recommend the Smart range to try. Clinique Smart Clinical MD Multi-Dimensional Age Transformer Duo Resculpt + Revolumize is a game-changer (read: one of the best Clinique products) and one of the best Clinique products for those over 50.

Open the lid and discover a 2-sided product. One side features Resculpt, which boasts Soybean Seed Extract and Sweet Almond Seed Extract to tighten and lift the skin.

On the other side is Revolumize, which carries Hyaluronic Acid and Soybean Protein to make skin look really plump, juicy, and fresh.

If you run out of one side before the other, don’t worry: these two formulas are available as standalone products too. That way, you can always get your fix of your favourite Clinique skincare product at home.

The best Clinique men’s products

8. Moisturiser for men: The brand’s men’s range is just as good as the stuff for women. Take Clinique for Men Maximum Hydrator 72-Hour Auto-Replenishing Hydrator for example.

As the name suggests, this formula can actually keep skin hydrated for 3 whole days. So you can rock smooth skin all through your next camping trip or enduro race!

Clinique’s product ingredients here include Hyaluronic Acid fragments and activated Aloe Water for serious freshness. And Caffeine works to wake up tired-looking skin. Maximum Hydrator is free from parabens, fragrances, and oil.

So there you have it: 8 of the best Clinique products in every category. The anti-wrinkle products, eye products, and products for blemishes that we can’t live without.
