Definitely one of those great brands that gets overlooked or overshadowed by newer, fancier skin care brands. Their balm removes every ounce of makeup without drying your skin (or leaving it greasy). And 100% agree that they make great mascaras: High Impact for the win, black, full, wispy, long lashes and it doesn't flake. Also, their Lash Power Mascara has a super thin brush that works great for lower lashes.
I used to have a very serious acne problem. Visited lots of dermatologists and got countless prescribed cleansing gels and hydrating creams but nothing worked. All those problems ended after I started using the anti-blemish solutions line from clinique. Finally, after many years, I can enjoy clear skin and can use any makeup I want without irritating my skin or having annoying bumps all over my face!!!! I totally recommend it!! 😄
I was recently having a horrible hormonal breakout, crazy sensitive and dry. I got a sample of clinique to try out. Within a day of using the old school 3 step treatment my skin was calming and back in balance. I was reminded of Why I used clinique so much in my younger years. I'm going to have to check out their anti aging and mascara too while I'm at it!!
This is by far the best review of a skincare/makeup line I have watched or heard by anyone, including the girls at the Clinique counter. If you were making up anything (not that I think you did) I bought it.....hook, line and sinker. I could feel the passion you have for the brand maybe because. Clinique was the first product I had ever used, and I loved it. That was 40 years ago. I still enjoy using one brand for everything but that's just not how we do it anymore. A little bit of this, a little bit of that. I think it's time for me to go back to the Clinique counter and using the knowledge you shared along with my past experience and give it another go. Thanks so much for putting out such a professional and concise review!
Can we just have ourselves a moment to celebrate the lovely Caroline? Thank you for sharing your voice and perspective, we appreciate your time and hard work!
Thanks for such in-depth explanations! I revved up my skin several months ago with Moisture Surge face cream and then picked up the serum too. What a difference it makes in skin that is starting to crinkle! I used to think Clinique was such an expensive brand back in my youth but really its not ....great value with a decent price. Keep spreading the word on skincare we love hearing what to use!
Oh I'm so glad you mentioned Even Better foundation. I use it every single day, its my fav! I also really love Moisture Surge but Im dying to try the mask! (Nurse here!!)
Caroline, I’ve been using the all about the eyes rich for a while now but have always understood it to not actually do anything for wrinkles, apparently it only helps reduce circles, shadows & puffiness (as it says on the pot) if it does actually help with wrinkles I will carry on using it as I absolutely love it! 💕
Thank you so much for this amazing review/video! I am a licensed esthetician and I have worked for Clinique for 20 years or more. I'm so happy that you are sharing all the products that I use and love! My favorite line is the Smart family!
I totally overlooked the Clinique moisture surge line! As a nurse I’m chronically dehydrated. Some days I’m lucky if I get a break and drink some water. I love cleansing balms with the muslin cloth also. Thank you for your informative video. I keep adding your videos to my skincare folder. You’re a treasure trove of information. Thank you for sharing the wealth!
Loved this overview, Caroline! Clinique was one of the first "high-end"/"counter" brands I ventured into and I have so many fave's that I fall back to time after time. I am a huge fan of their Pink Chocolate lipstick (on the beauty side of things)...which is from the 1990's (aging myself) and I still buy it!!! Mahalo! XO Aloha!
Ms. Hirons...I absolutely adore you and your generosity of spirit in sharing knowledge about skincare. I have learned so much from following you! You have become my skincare bible reference. Thank you
I have oily skin, dehydrated when I'm pregnant. Moisture surge is the only thing that keeps my skin balanced- not too oily, not dehydrated. I use the serum, the gel- cream and the mask (well, as you said, I am a teacher... 😄) Oh, and the fluid sunscreen is the best thing ever. The only sunscreen I can actually wear under makeup without looking like a greasy mess...
Completely biased as I started off working for Clinique, but here I am 25 years on and no longer working for them but still the biggest fan! The Moisture Surge Overnight Mask is, for me, THE BEST overnight mask ever. Hands down. I love trying other brands but I always come back to Clinique. You never forget your first love.
My first real beauty memory (other than going to the drug store) is when my friend and I were taken to the Clinique counter at age 13 by her glamorous mother and we each purchased the 3-step program. It was so thrilling!! Forty years later and I probably have more Clinique products in my bathroom than any other brand. I have had a bottle of the #1 or #2 Clarifying Lotion on my counter every day since that first day. My current faves are the Vitamin C duo, the moisture surge spray, the Acne Solutions emergency gel for spots, and numerous Chubby Lip sticks. I think I need to try the Redness Solutions Daily Relief Cream, as I have developed acne-type rosacea in my menopausal years (lovely). Thank you so much for this review, Caroline!!! PS I have a friend from childhood who has worked for Estee Lauder Co since graduating from college (and helped create the Happy fragrance!), and when I asked her to name her favorite all-time Lauder brand, she said Clinique, because of the research, testing and close collaboration with doctors and dermatologists - can't beat that!!
Hitting the big 3-0 this year. Been using all about eyes rich, anti blemish solution clarifying lotion and moisture surge since I was 19. I started watching you a couple of years ago experimented with lots of recommendations which my skin didn’t really take too - like glow tonic etc, I tried Cliniques 1.0 because I saw it on your blog but I much prefer the anti blemish solutions one. Really enjoyed this video, lots of my favourites. I’ve heard lots of negative things about Clinique from various skin experts but my skin absolutely loves majority of their range.
I used the clinique three step set back in the day. It came in 4 different types for different skin types. Had massive problems with the toner. Even the one for dry sensitive skin left my skin raw. Very interested in their new moisture surge range though. But I’m hestitant to try due to past experiences
I have been using Clinique moisture surge moisturizer for +10 years and I haven’t found an alternative to it so far! It’s amazing! I have oily sensitive skin and my skin loves it
yes!!! New Viewer here, and I just want to say - I have taken your advice with my routine and ditched the foaming and started to double cleanse, and removing it with a flannel. Plus, I started using the first aid beauty acid pads, and boy my skin has never looked better. People are asking me if I did something to my face because it looks great lately. Now I will allows value your opinion.
I just bought the Take the Day Off Balm after ages of using the Simple cleansing oil and it's amazing. I love a balm, but most irritate my weird eyes. This one doesn't and it just perfect. Wouldn't have tried it but for a Caroline Hirons review, too!
Just used a moisture mask sample I had on getting home from nightshift this morning, thought i needed a boost and have woken up impressed! Then I watch this and see you recommend it for nurses... brilliant!
Thanks so much for this review. I've been wondering when I would find someone who would talk about Clinique. I love the product and have used it for years. Thanks again for the the catch up on the newbies. Xxx
Thank you for the terrific review. I have a jar of Take The Day Off in my fridge and beside it is your Double Cleanse which is the best cleanser I have ever used. This Clinique review has reminded me just how good Clinique products are. Hello from Cairns in tropical North Quuensland, Australia where it's wise to keep skin care and make-up in the fridge. I'm so pleased I subscribed to you channel a few months ago.
Love the Pink line ! I lucked out at the airport taxfree once with the MS serum, I got 2 for the price of one, they had the wrong price and had to honor it ! Love the Lash Power mascara !
Dear Caroline. I see Clinique now has a Retinol serum. I use the Elizabeth Arden Retinol and Ceramide capsules. Which of the two would you recommend. I’m in Africa and don’t have access to a lot of brands you rate. Regards. Helena
Thank you so much for this precise review. I will be working for Clinique counter in a few weeks and this helped me so much to know the difference between every product from the same line ❤❤❤
I love their mascaras. True that theyre underrated. Whats really loved in Asia is their cheek pops too. I hate the cityblock.. it smells so strong and gave me breakouts.. but that was 15 years ago when I was in my late teens so i be happy to try again
Take the Day Off Balm ...I've been using this for AGES. I hate rubbing my face and using 23578329 cotton buds. It just removes any makeup with zero effort. LOVE IT!!
MY brand for so many years 😁 Love Clinique, especially high impact mascara, lotion 1 and dramatically different moisturizing lotion. I have atopic dermatitis and lotion1.0 is so good for my flaking skin.
I love that your videos are timeless! Watched this April 2019 and bought their vitamin C booster and powder, as well as the moisture surge overnight mask immediately. Such a fan!
Just started using the Moisture Surge overnight mask, and it's great! It's really helped my dry, winter skin. Plus, I've loved the Chubby Sticks for ages--Mega Melon is my favorite!
Thanks for the video, Caroline. Clinique is definitely one of my favourite brand, I have loved everything I've tried from it. Special mentions to the 'pink line', the even better glow foundation and the high impact waterproof mascara.
Caroline, what did you do to your face? You look stunning! Your skin looks refreshed and bright and just lovely. Your eye makeup is on point. Share your secrets. 😁❤️
I haven't tried much Clinique as I'm trying to go cruelty free BUT the balm is the only thing that will take my waterproof mascara off.. I know some people say that aren't a fan of the "film" after but for me it feels hydrated. I love it :)
Thank you! No one ever talks about Clinique. The All About Eyes Rich is the only thing that works on my eyelids in the winter when they get extremely dry and flakey. I also agree about their mascara, my favorite by far.
I was a teenager when I first started using Clinique in the late 80s & early 90s. I still adore the brand. I wore City Block as a tinted moisturizer for years, and it’s still my favorite sunscreen. It was my go to, every day, face base. I started their 3 step cleansing routine fairly young. I couldn’t use the dramatically differently moisturizer then because it would make my face sting and burn (reactions to drug store products = the whole reason why I got into Clinique early) so I used the mint green version. They no longer make it but I loved that line and the mild cleansing lotion. I eventually graduated to an antioxidant rich mask and moisturizer in green tubes that they stopped making as well. I miss them, but I love the mild cleansing lotion, Vitamin C powder & booster, Moisture surge spritz, overnight mask and concentrate (the regular MS moisturizer & eye cream are a bit too heavy and do give me white heads and bumps around the eyes), All About the Eyes and the whole Take the Day Off range. I can’t get the balm near my eyes but have no problems using the lotion or oil around them and the wipes are the only wipes on earth that do not bother me. I also love the Total Turnaround daytime moisturizer in gold and rose gold. Both are beautiful under makeup. At 42 I now have no issues with dramatically different. The Redness Solutions line is the only one that I still can’t use. I have a horrible burning/stinging reaction. Even Better (original and glow) is one of my HG’s and so are the Lid Smoothies. *They are not being restocked as often in my local Belk department store, which is making me nervous because I reach for those cream shadows more than anything else when doing every day/work makeup. Love Cheek Pop, Chubby Sticks, Quick Liners and the mascaras are good. All that said, my favorite Clinique product of all is and always will be Almost Lipstick In Black Honey. I’ve worn it religiously since it came out.
Thank you so much for your videos Caroline! Is it necessary to use another Clinique Cleanser after the balm? Also, is it necessary to also use the yellow moisturizer before using another one? The Clinique Consultants have me layering about three different moisturizers!! I don’t know if you will see this but thought I would ask!! Thank you!!
The balm is only intended to remove makeup and sunscreens, you need to wash your face after no matters the brand you are using. The yellow moisturiser, is a necessity if you are using a clarifying lotion as it removes your skin barrier. Use it after clarifying lotion and before all other products ( serums, moisturisers etc )
Thank you Caroline for an informative video, your experience really shows in these videos and it is exactly what the beauty community needs! I am hoping you have a travel/flight skincare video coming up as I have an 11 hour flight soon and could really use your wise recommendations. x
I own almost everything in the pink range and I love it all. Gorgeous products. And you're right, Clinique makes great mascara. It's baffling to me that Estee Lauder owns Clinique because I've been nothing but disappointed by every Estee Lauder product I've ever owned.
Leigh Cooper They don’t just own it, it was their idea and their company from the off. But they always wanted them to be very different so at least that definitely happened. :)
Caroline Hirons I never knew! I'd assumed Lauder had bought it up after Clinique was established. Which makes me even more confused about my bad experience with Estee Lauder, when I love Clinique so much! I wonder if I was unlucky enough to buy a bad batch. Nearly everything I bought came in a set so I suppose it's possible.
Yay. Thanks Caroline. I requested a Clinique overview. Have got more clinique in my bathroom than anything else. And the brand overview videos are my favourite
Thank you Caroline - I don't use Clinic but I just love learning about everything from you about skin care because you come across with complete honesty. Suerte & Fuerte. Steph🙏💋
Woooow so many products. Iv not used Clinique in long time so def going have a look again. With regards the sun cream and the city smart which way do u layer them or does it matter. And regarding sun creams why do they rub off ur face and feel like a mess after an HR of wearing and u just want wash ur face and what would be your top 5 also is it better to wear a separate sun cream or is a moisturizer with an SPF ok to use. Got my ticket to see u in Dublin in April I can't wait
Thank you for covering Clinique! They are easily my favourite brand and seem to be overlooked by many beauty bloggers. I currently can not live without the Moisture Surge range, Take the Day Off, chubby sticks and mascara. I'm always impressed by this brand 🙌🏼
Don't know if you'll see this, but wanted to ask anyway. I'm thinking about adding the Smart Repairwear line to my skincare routine. However, the thing that concerns my rosacea skin is that grapefruit peel oil towards the top of the ingredients listing for the serum and the eye cream. Would you recommend it? I'm currently using the All About Eyes Rich, and while I love it, the area around my eyes is feeling very dry at the moment.
What a great review on Clinique. I haven't used Clinique in a few years - but after watching your video I am going to go out and try some of these products. Thanks!!!
Let me start by saying I found your channel yesterday and I love you. I have been using Clinique skin care for about 5 years and it really helped to change my skin. I wanted to add the vitamin C but I read it's only good for a week. Will Drunk Elephant's Vitamin C play well with Clinique products? Or should I go towards Sunday Riley?
Hey caroline! Love your blog and your videos...your word is literally the law. Just had one question, in the blog you said you wouldn't recommend the Clinique 1.0 exfoliating lotion as the old formula was better than the new one, but you recommend it here. So is it still Caroline approved?
Thanks for the book recommendation! I am definitely going to read it but use my library card. lol I am fascinated by the early launch/pioneers of the beauty business, Estee Lauder, Chanel, etc.
Moisture surge gel cream is a staple. Would buy in bulk if possible. The Vit C cleansing powder didn't work for me at all. It was too harsh and stripping and broke me out and I had to let it go. The serum was fine though. I would buy the eye cream if it came in a squeeze tube. I always get to much product on my fingers with those mini jars...or drop them when trying to get the lid back on. Thank you very much for this overview of an accessible brand.
I really like Clinique products! I’ve been using the yellow dramatically different moisturizing cream for about a year now! But I find it too greasy in the summer, so I need to buy the moisture surge cream jar because I’ve tried it the other day in the store and it seemed so smooth and hydrating but not greasy/oily and my skin (on the back of my hand) was so smooth all day long until I went to bed! The only thing I hated from Clinique was the clarifying lotion or toner in a purple see through bottle! I wasn’t a fan of that one, it kinda gave the sensation of burning my skin. So I freaked out and stopped using that 3 step thing. But their moisturizers and lotions and makeup removers and makeup are all great! Highly recommend 🤗💖☀️ I have dry and sensitive skin, by the way. Thank you for doing this, Caroline! Love these one brand reviews!
If you are dry and sensitive then the purple toner, which is #2 clarifying lotion, would be too strong for you. The 1 or 1.0 would be more gentle. The stronger ones are better for normal to oily skin types! :)
Loved this video! I have been a fan of Clinique since my teens. Unfortunately, Clinique doesn't have the CX line in the United States. Caroline could you get us an answer of when the CX range will be available in the US? Thanks for the great video!
Clinique was the first non-drugstore makeup/skincare I ever used in Jr. high. Sun-Ripened Raisin lipstick was my fave! Such an informative video and reminder that I might need to re-visit quite a few products.
Wonderful, new playthings to test out. I'm a longtime enthusiast of Clinique, their superbalm gloss has always made my lips feel comfortable even when they've been wind-burned and peeling, and Super Rescue (my first and still favorite part of the range) is my hero. Now I can't wait to play around with Take the Day Off and the Vitamin C products.
You know the love is real when the caps come on. Also due to this video, I brought my High Impact mascara out of hiding and now I'm having a great makeup day. So thanks for the reminder Caroline.
So happy to hear you praise the All About Eyes Rich cream. I've been using it for years, good to have you back up my choice. Unrelated: you have beautiful hands :)
I've always used Merle Norman cosmetics. Sadly, about 3 years ago, the line was no longer available in my area. So I had to quickly learn (huge learning curve) about the products on the market outside of the MN stores. That was tough. I did try to use Mary Kay but nope, my skin was not having that. So, I started in the drug store. Worked my way to chains such as Sephora and Ulta. I've learned about Clinique over the last year and most of that education is from watching your videos. I do adore the Ordinary and use that daily (many different ones of course). I have yet to try out Clinique but I might after I run out of my current product. I worry about mixing different product lines together (probably from using only 1 product line for 25 years in MN) so I haven't branched out there yet. At least not in skin care. I have with cosmetics and it doesn't seem to be that bad. Thank you for all you do. This 50-year old appreciates all your wisdom! With that, I'll shut up because it looks like a letter now. :S
Thank you so much for the video Caroline, so good to hear about all the products. Do you have any recommodations for products that work on eczema around the chin?
manonm4 Fellow eczema sufferer here. I have tried a lot of skincare but find that I need prescription medication for the eczema. However keeping my skin hydrated with hylaronic acid and good moisturizer has helped my skin fight eczema better. I’ve also experimented with mild acids like lactic acid on the dead skin that eczema causes and find that the exfoliating speeds up the healing process.

I’ve used the Clinique all about eyes rich for years now so it’s great to hear such a good review on this product considering there are many alternatives and I was thinking about switching! I’ll stick with this now.
I love your brand reviews, this one in particular. Just picked up the Estee book. Btw, love your nails! P.S. I feel like you look better every video! 😻
Thank you Caroline - can you suggest what I can use for 40 year old skin showing signs of aging but with spots. My make has slid off or goes into my lines by lunchtime and I just can’t seem to get skincare right since turning 40 xxxx
What a great overview! Thank youuu....I just bought the Moisture Surge 72 h and I love it 😻 , my makeup looked never this perfect! Now I think I will test out more from clinique.
I love Clinique. It's not fancy, it's not Instagram-worthy. But it has Mom-tested, adult-daughter-approved products! The Moisture Surge is just fabulous - unproblematic and fragrance-free but still pretty enough that I don't feel like I'm using CeraVe. (Booooring...) And their mascaras are wonderful. High-impact mascara is awesome! Chubby Sticks are awesome
just throwing in my opinion too, I LOVE the powder cleanser and it's not to say the liquid isn't great but I definitely noticed more of a difference with the powder cleanser than the liquid.
Just my opinion, I used a whole DE C-firma and I can't say I noticed anything, I do have very normal skin. When I used the fresh press with the cleanser for two weeks I saw a difference my skin seemed brighter but I know lots of people love C-firma it just didn't do anything for me personally.
SliceofJax I’m not sure to be honest. Firstly, Clinique actually tests at 14% vitamin C, but they say 10% because they guarantee that you’ll get at least that strength in the period that you use it. So if you are using it up in the suggested timeframe you’re actually getting 14%, and it’s certainly going to be ‘fresher’ and more potent that DE based on the fact it only mixes when you activate it...
Thank you for sharing your experiences! I'm sure they're both good but it might be one of those cases of 'everyone's skin is different'. I've been using DR C-firma, which is why I was curious since Clinique one is more of a fresh delivery system but I haven't heard much about it.
Thanks for the reply Caroline, I was curious because Clinique definitely has a fresher delivery but I haven't heard much about it. Clinique is one of the brands I was actually aware of since I was a child (through my mom) growing up overseas, but there were many things I learned about the brand for the first time from this video. Thank you for always sharing your knowledge from years of being in the industry. While I haven't heard all that much about it, I think I'm going to try the Clinique vitamin once I run out of the DE C-firma.
Brand review. Love it. Have always wanted to try Clinique. Can the eye cream be used on the eye lids? I've never used any of my eye creams on the lids; have always heard you shouldn't. So basically if you don't use an eye primer, the lids are unprotected, unmoisturized. Help.
I love your reviews and your humour! When ever I see you have uploaded a video, I get so excited. Such a delight to watch! So much good information as well. Have a lovely week! xox
Love the moisture surge n vit c ... just to give 1st hand feedback it does feel a bit drying... my skin is normal to dry. . Also to yse the entire packet for 1 use is tooo much... guess clinique should look at reducing quantity of individual pack n maybe increase number of packets.... keeping in mind u need to use it up immediately on opening. .. That's the whole point of individual sachets
Hi, Caroline, I trust your judgment and for that reason, I need your help! I’m in my sixties with dry skin and extremely sensitive. I like drunk elephant vitamin c serum, Elizabeth Arden ceremide capsules and Claris double serum. Can you help me on how to wear them on my skin the proper way. Greatly appreciated. Lots of love!!!
And, it is somewhere in the house...updating renovating (STILL) so many things are boxed. Now I have to find it.. Great info-Clinique was the first brand I ever used.. 💌
High impact, vitamin C powder, all about eyes and moisture surge!!!! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 I haven’t tried the acid toner though. Going to a beauty store tomorrow!!!!
Hi Caroline! Do you recommend the Clarifying Lotion 1.0 for a dry, mild rosacea ( mild texture; no pastules) and VERY sensitive skin? How many times a week? I’m nervous about it cause of having sensitive skin. If the Daily Relief Cream is not enough for moisture; which product would you recommend to go over it at night? The 72 hour or the supercharged? Ty! 🤗
The best skin care line in the world: affordable, complete, effective, fragrance free and great customer service. Thanks for doing this review!!
Definitely one of those great brands that gets overlooked or overshadowed by newer, fancier skin care brands. Their balm removes every ounce of makeup without drying your skin (or leaving it greasy). And 100% agree that they make great mascaras: High Impact for the win, black, full, wispy, long lashes and it doesn't flake. Also, their Lash Power Mascara has a super thin brush that works great for lower lashes.
I used to have a very serious acne problem. Visited lots of dermatologists and got countless prescribed cleansing gels and hydrating creams but nothing worked. All those problems ended after I started using the anti-blemish solutions line from clinique. Finally, after many years, I can enjoy clear skin and can use any makeup I want without irritating my skin or having annoying bumps all over my face!!!! I totally recommend it!! 😄
I was recently having a horrible hormonal breakout, crazy sensitive and dry. I got a sample of clinique to try out. Within a day of using the old school 3 step treatment my skin was calming and back in balance. I was reminded of Why I used clinique so much in my younger years. I'm going to have to check out their anti aging and mascara too while I'm at it!!
What?!!!! A whole brand review by Caroline? Yes please! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
She's done loads of brand reviews now!
Caroline, you made me buy Take the day off balm and I searched ALL cosmetic shops in Ukraine and found it! It's brilliant so thank you! ❤️
Nyx has one that works just as well, is cheaper and is crueltyfree
Also patiently waiting for Caroline Hirons x Steph Nicole... can't wait!! Thank you for the informative video.
This is by far the best review of a skincare/makeup line I have watched or heard by anyone, including the girls at the Clinique counter. If you were making up anything (not that I think you did) I bought it.....hook, line and sinker. I could feel the passion you have for the brand maybe because. Clinique was the first product I had ever used, and I loved it. That was 40 years ago.
I still enjoy using one brand for everything but that's just not how we do it anymore. A little bit of this, a little bit of that. I think it's time for me to go back to the Clinique counter and using the knowledge you shared along with my past experience and give it another go. Thanks so much for putting out such a professional and concise review!
Can we just have ourselves a moment to celebrate the lovely Caroline? Thank you for sharing your voice and perspective, we appreciate your time and hard work!
Ah thank you x
Thanks for such in-depth explanations! I revved up my skin several months ago with Moisture Surge face cream and then picked up the serum too. What a difference it makes in skin that is starting to crinkle! I used to think Clinique was such an expensive brand back in my youth but really its not ....great value with a decent price.

Oh I'm so glad you mentioned Even Better foundation. I use it every single day, its my fav! I also really love Moisture Surge but Im dying to try the mask! (Nurse here!!)
Allison schild the mask is fab - I use it as hand and footmask as well 😂
Caroline, I’ve been using the all about the eyes rich for a while now but have always understood it to not actually do anything for wrinkles, apparently it only helps reduce circles, shadows & puffiness (as it says on the pot) if it does actually help with wrinkles I will carry on using it as I absolutely love it! 💕
Thank you so much for this amazing review/video! I am a licensed esthetician and I have worked for Clinique for 20 years or more. I'm so happy that you are sharing all the products that I use and love! My favorite line is the Smart family!
I totally overlooked the Clinique moisture surge line! As a nurse I’m chronically dehydrated. Some days I’m lucky if I get a break and drink some water. I love cleansing balms with the muslin cloth also. Thank you for your informative video. I keep adding your videos to my skincare folder. You’re a treasure trove of information. Thank you for sharing the wealth!
Thank you for the work you do!
Loved this overview, Caroline! Clinique was one of the first "high-end"/"counter" brands I ventured into and I have so many fave's that I fall back to time after time. I am a huge fan of their Pink Chocolate lipstick (on the beauty side of things)...which is from the 1990's (aging myself) and I still buy it!!! Mahalo! XO Aloha!
Ms. Hirons...I absolutely adore you and your generosity of spirit in sharing knowledge about skincare. I have learned so much from following you! You have become my skincare bible reference. Thank you
Thank YOU! X
Absolutely love how clear and concise you are. Ps you look gorgeous in this video, loving the eye makeup xx
I have oily skin, dehydrated when I'm pregnant. Moisture surge is the only thing that keeps my skin balanced- not too oily, not dehydrated. I use the serum, the gel- cream and the mask (well, as you said, I am a teacher... 😄)
Oh, and the fluid sunscreen is the best thing ever. The only sunscreen I can actually wear under makeup without looking like a greasy mess...
Completely biased as I started off working for Clinique, but here I am 25 years on and no longer working for them but still the biggest fan! The Moisture Surge Overnight Mask is, for me, THE BEST overnight mask ever. Hands down. I love trying other brands but I always come back to Clinique. You never forget your first love.
My first real beauty memory (other than going to the drug store) is when my friend and I were taken to the Clinique counter at age 13 by her glamorous mother and we each purchased the 3-step program. It was so thrilling!! Forty years later and I probably have more Clinique products in my bathroom than any other brand. I have had a bottle of the #1 or #2 Clarifying Lotion on my counter every day since that first day. My current faves are the Vitamin C duo, the moisture surge spray, the Acne Solutions emergency gel for spots, and numerous Chubby Lip sticks. I think I need to try the Redness Solutions Daily Relief Cream, as I have developed acne-type rosacea in my menopausal years (lovely). Thank you so much for this review, Caroline!!! PS I have a friend from childhood who has worked for Estee Lauder Co since graduating from college (and helped create the Happy fragrance!), and when I asked her to name her favorite all-time Lauder brand, she said Clinique, because of the research, testing and close collaboration with doctors and dermatologists - can't beat that!!
Hitting the big 3-0 this year. Been using all about eyes rich, anti blemish solution clarifying lotion and moisture surge since I was 19.
I started watching you a couple of years ago experimented with lots of recommendations which my skin didn’t really take too - like glow tonic etc, I tried Cliniques 1.0 because I saw it on your blog but I much prefer the anti blemish solutions one.
Really enjoyed this video, lots of my favourites. I’ve heard lots of negative things about Clinique from various skin experts but my skin absolutely loves majority of their range.
I used the clinique three step set back in the day. It came in 4 different types for different skin types. Had massive problems with the toner. Even the one for dry sensitive skin left my skin raw. Very interested in their new moisture surge range though. But I’m hestitant to try due to past experiences
Go and play on counter! X
Caroline! What about moisture surge intense moisturizer....it is divine. Much preferred by me over the autohydrator.
Agreed. X
I have been using Clinique moisture surge moisturizer for +10 years and I haven’t found an alternative to it so far! It’s amazing! I have oily sensitive skin and my skin loves it
yes!!! New Viewer here, and I just want to say - I have taken your advice with my routine and ditched the foaming and started to double cleanse, and removing it with a flannel. Plus, I started using the first aid beauty acid pads, and boy my skin has never looked better. People are asking me if I did something to my face because it looks great lately. Now I will allows value your opinion.
I just bought the Take the Day Off Balm after ages of using the Simple cleansing oil and it's amazing. I love a balm, but most irritate my weird eyes. This one doesn't and it just perfect. Wouldn't have tried it but for a Caroline Hirons review, too!
Ah I’m thrilled you like!
Great video! I love the moisture surge all about eyes eye cream in the rollerball! so convenient for travel! You would love it Caroline!
Just used a moisture mask sample I had on getting home from nightshift this morning, thought i needed a boost and have woken up impressed! Then I watch this and see you recommend it for nurses... brilliant!
Thanks so much for this review. I've been wondering when I would find someone who would talk about Clinique. I love the product and have used it for years. Thanks again for the the catch up on the newbies. Xxx
Thank you for the terrific review. I have a jar of Take The Day Off in my fridge and beside it is your Double Cleanse which is the best cleanser I have ever used. This Clinique review has reminded me just how good Clinique products are. Hello from Cairns in tropical North Quuensland, Australia where it's wise to keep skin care and make-up in the fridge. I'm so pleased I subscribed to you channel a few months ago.
I'm really surprised we don't get the clinique spf 50 here in Oz nor the CX range
Dang Caroline- stepping up that lighting/ cinematography game! You look gorgeous
Love the Pink line ! I lucked out at the airport taxfree once with the MS serum, I got 2 for the price of one, they had the wrong price and had to honor it ! Love the Lash Power mascara !
Dear Caroline. I see Clinique now has a Retinol serum. I use the Elizabeth Arden Retinol and Ceramide capsules. Which of the two would you recommend. I’m in Africa and don’t have access to a lot of brands you rate. Regards. Helena
They’re both around the same. Clinique possibly a tad stronger x
Thank you so much for this precise review. I will be working for Clinique counter in a few weeks and this helped me so much to know the difference between every product from the same line ❤❤❤
I love their mascaras. True that theyre underrated. Whats really loved in Asia is their cheek pops too. I hate the cityblock.. it smells so strong and gave me breakouts.. but that was 15 years ago when I was in my late teens so i be happy to try again
Take the Day Off Balm ...I've been using this for AGES. I hate rubbing my face and using 23578329 cotton buds. It just removes any makeup with zero effort. LOVE IT!!
MY brand for so many years 😁 Love Clinique, especially high impact mascara, lotion 1 and dramatically different moisturizing lotion. I have atopic dermatitis and lotion1.0 is so good for my flaking skin.
I love that your videos are timeless!
Watched this April 2019 and bought their vitamin C booster and powder, as well as the moisture surge overnight mask immediately. Such a fan!
Ahh thank you Caroline!! If you're taking requests, I would love a Cerave video! *hugs*
Been using Clinique for years! Bravo!! 💕😘
Just started using the Moisture Surge overnight mask, and it's great! It's really helped my dry, winter skin. Plus, I've loved the Chubby Sticks for ages--Mega Melon is my favorite!
Thanks for the video, Caroline. Clinique is definitely one of my favourite brand, I have loved everything I've tried from it. Special mentions to the 'pink line', the even better glow foundation and the high impact waterproof mascara.
Et La Pluie All great choices.
Caroline, what did you do to your face? You look stunning! Your skin looks refreshed and bright and just lovely. Your eye makeup is on point. Share your secrets. 😁❤️
I think it’s because she has a more Smokey eye makeup :)
I haven't tried much Clinique as I'm trying to go cruelty free BUT the balm is the only thing that will take my waterproof mascara off.. I know some people say that aren't a fan of the "film" after but for me it feels hydrated. I love it :)
Try Nyx, works as well, cheaper, cruelty free
Thank you! No one ever talks about Clinique. The All About Eyes Rich is the only thing that works on my eyelids in the winter when they get extremely dry and flakey. I also agree about their mascara, my favorite by far.
I was a teenager when I first started using Clinique in the late 80s & early 90s. I still adore the brand. I wore City Block as a tinted moisturizer for years, and it’s still my favorite sunscreen. It was my go to, every day, face base. I started their 3 step cleansing routine fairly young. I couldn’t use the dramatically differently moisturizer then because it would make my face sting and burn (reactions to drug store products = the whole reason why I got into Clinique early) so I used the mint green version. They no longer make it but I loved that line and the mild cleansing lotion.
I eventually graduated to an antioxidant rich mask and moisturizer in green tubes that they stopped making as well. I miss them, but I love the mild cleansing lotion, Vitamin C powder & booster, Moisture surge spritz, overnight mask and concentrate (the regular MS moisturizer & eye cream are a bit too heavy and do give me white heads and bumps around the eyes), All About the Eyes and the whole Take the Day Off range. I can’t get the balm near my eyes but have no problems using the lotion or oil around them and the wipes are the only wipes on earth that do not bother me.
I also love the Total Turnaround daytime moisturizer in gold and rose gold. Both are beautiful under makeup. At 42 I now have no issues with dramatically different.
The Redness Solutions line is the only one that I still can’t use. I have a horrible burning/stinging reaction.
Even Better (original and glow) is one of my HG’s and so are the Lid Smoothies. *They are not being restocked as often in my local Belk department store, which is making me nervous because I reach for those cream shadows more than anything else when doing every day/work makeup. Love Cheek Pop, Chubby Sticks, Quick Liners and the mascaras are good.
All that said, my favorite Clinique product of all is and always will be Almost Lipstick In Black Honey. I’ve worn it religiously since it came out.
“Brilliant for anyone with a face,” 😂😂😂 love you Caroline!
Thank you so much for your videos Caroline! Is it necessary to use another Clinique Cleanser after the balm? Also, is it necessary to also use the yellow moisturizer before using another one? The Clinique Consultants have me layering about three different moisturizers!! I don’t know if you will see this but thought I would ask!! Thank you!!
The balm is only intended to remove makeup and sunscreens, you need to wash your face after no matters the brand you are using.
The yellow moisturiser, is a necessity if you are using a clarifying lotion as it removes your skin barrier. Use it after clarifying lotion and before all other products ( serums, moisturisers etc )
Thank you Caroline for an informative video, your experience really shows in these videos and it is exactly what the beauty community needs! I am hoping you have a travel/flight skincare video coming up as I have an 11 hour flight soon and could really use your wise recommendations. x
I own almost everything in the pink range and I love it all. Gorgeous products. And you're right, Clinique makes great mascara. It's baffling to me that Estee Lauder owns Clinique because I've been nothing but disappointed by every Estee Lauder product I've ever owned.
Leigh Cooper They don’t just own it, it was their idea and their company from the off. But they always wanted them to be very different so at least that definitely happened. :)
Caroline Hirons I never knew! I'd assumed Lauder had bought it up after Clinique was established. Which makes me even more confused about my bad experience with Estee Lauder, when I love Clinique so much! I wonder if I was unlucky enough to buy a bad batch. Nearly everything I bought came in a set so I suppose it's possible.
Clinique is one of the Estee Lauder group.
Leigh Cooper same here
Thank you for posting this. I've never tried Clinique as a full skin care range. Now I know what I'm spending my wage on!
I love the laser focus eye cream! Just bought my 6th jar of it. Perfect for Day and night!
Really helpful review, am late to the Clinique party but have just recently purchased their products. Thank you for this review. 💞
Yay. Thanks Caroline. I requested a Clinique overview. Have got more clinique in my bathroom than anything else. And the brand overview videos are my favourite
They’re powder foundation is absolutely amazing, covers my melasma and can be uses for pinpoint concealing.
Thank you Caroline - I don't use Clinic but I just love learning about everything from you about skin care because you come across with complete honesty. Suerte & Fuerte. Steph🙏💋
Thank you! X
Woooow so many products. Iv not used Clinique in long time so def going have a look again. With regards the sun cream and the city smart which way do u layer them or does it matter. And regarding sun creams why do they rub off ur face and feel like a mess after an HR of wearing and u just want wash ur face and what would be your top 5 also is it better to wear a separate sun cream or is a moisturizer with an SPF ok to use. Got my ticket to see u in Dublin in April I can't wait
Thank you for covering Clinique! They are easily my favourite brand and seem to be overlooked by many beauty bloggers. I currently can not live without the Moisture Surge range, Take the Day Off, chubby sticks and mascara. I'm always impressed by this brand 🙌🏼
Don't know if you'll see this, but wanted to ask anyway. I'm thinking about adding the Smart Repairwear line to my skincare routine. However, the thing that concerns my rosacea skin is that grapefruit peel oil towards the top of the ingredients listing for the serum and the eye cream. Would you recommend it? I'm currently using the All About Eyes Rich, and while I love it, the area around my eyes is feeling very dry at the moment.
What a great review on Clinique. I haven't used Clinique in a few years - but after watching your video I am going to go out and try some of these products. Thanks!!!
Let me start by saying I found your channel yesterday and I love you. I have been using Clinique skin care for about 5 years and it really helped to change my skin. I wanted to add the vitamin C but I read it's only good for a week. Will Drunk Elephant's Vitamin C play well with Clinique products? Or should I go towards Sunday Riley?
Clinique is your best option. You get two weeks to use up a small vial. You’ll be fine!
Hey caroline! Love your blog and your videos...your word is literally the law.
Just had one question, in the blog you said you wouldn't recommend the Clinique 1.0 exfoliating lotion as the old formula was better than the new one, but you recommend it here. So is it still Caroline approved?
I love the brand review series, but man it makes me want to buy buy buy!!
Thanks for the book recommendation! I am definitely going to read it but use my library card. lol I am fascinated by the early launch/pioneers of the beauty business, Estee Lauder, Chanel, etc.
Oh my God it’s brilliant. She is hardcore about her competition.
Brilliant, Caroline! What a great video, love Clinique and fantastic break down of their ranges. Very helpful. Thank you.
Moisture surge gel cream is a staple. Would buy in bulk if possible. The Vit C cleansing powder didn't work for me at all. It was too harsh and stripping and broke me out and I had to let it go. The serum was fine though. I would buy the eye cream if it came in a squeeze tube. I always get to much product on my fingers with those mini jars...or drop them when trying to get the lid back on. Thank you very much for this overview of an accessible brand.
I really like Clinique products! I’ve been using the yellow dramatically different moisturizing cream for about a year now! But I find it too greasy in the summer, so I need to buy the moisture surge cream jar because I’ve tried it the other day in the store and it seemed so smooth and hydrating but not greasy/oily and my skin (on the back of my hand) was so smooth all day long until I went to bed! The only thing I hated from Clinique was the clarifying lotion or toner in a purple see through bottle! I wasn’t a fan of that one, it kinda gave the sensation of burning my skin. So I freaked out and stopped using that 3 step thing. But their moisturizers and lotions and makeup removers and makeup are all great! Highly recommend 🤗💖☀️
I have dry and sensitive skin, by the way.
Thank you for doing this, Caroline! Love these one brand reviews!
If you are dry and sensitive then the purple toner, which is #2 clarifying lotion, would be too strong for you. The 1 or 1.0 would be more gentle. The stronger ones are better for normal to oily skin types! :)
Loved this video! I have been a fan of Clinique since my teens. Unfortunately, Clinique doesn't have the CX line in the United States. Caroline could you get us an answer of when the CX range will be available in the US? Thanks for the great video!
Love love love Clinique, always trusted them!
I absolutely love the all about eyes rich , best eye cream I have ever used 😊
Clinique was the first non-drugstore makeup/skincare I ever used in Jr. high. Sun-Ripened Raisin lipstick was my fave! Such an informative video and reminder that I might need to re-visit quite a few products.
Wonderful, new playthings to test out. I'm a longtime enthusiast of Clinique, their superbalm gloss has always made my lips feel comfortable even when they've been wind-burned and peeling, and Super Rescue (my first and still favorite part of the range) is my hero. Now I can't wait to play around with Take the Day Off and the Vitamin C products.
I LOVE THAT LIP BALM TOO DAMMIT
You know the love is real when the caps come on. Also due to this video, I brought my High Impact mascara out of hiding and now I'm having a great makeup day. So thanks for the reminder Caroline.
So happy to hear you praise the All About Eyes Rich cream. I've been using it for years, good to have you back up my choice. Unrelated: you have beautiful hands :)
Thank you x
I've always used Merle Norman cosmetics. Sadly, about 3 years ago, the line was no longer available in my area. So I had to quickly learn (huge learning curve) about the products on the market outside of the MN stores. That was tough. I did try to use Mary Kay but nope, my skin was not having that. So, I started in the drug store. Worked my way to chains such as Sephora and Ulta. I've learned about Clinique over the last year and most of that education is from watching your videos. I do adore the Ordinary and use that daily (many different ones of course). I have yet to try out Clinique but I might after I run out of my current product. I worry about mixing different product lines together (probably from using only 1 product line for 25 years in MN) so I haven't branched out there yet. At least not in skin care. I have with cosmetics and it doesn't seem to be that bad. Thank you for all you do. This 50-year old appreciates all your wisdom! With that, I'll shut up because it looks like a letter now. :S
Thank you so much for the video Caroline, so good to hear about all the products. Do you have any recommodations for products that work on eczema around the chin?
manonm4 Fellow eczema sufferer here. I have tried a lot of skincare but find that I need prescription medication for the eczema. However keeping my skin hydrated with hylaronic acid and good moisturizer has helped my skin fight eczema better. I’ve also experimented with mild acids like lactic acid on the dead skin that eczema causes and find that the exfoliating speeds up the healing process.

I’ve used the Clinique all about eyes rich for years now so it’s great to hear such a good review on this product considering there are many alternatives and I was thinking about switching! I’ll stick with this now.
I love your brand reviews, this one in particular. Just picked up the Estee book. Btw, love your nails! P.S. I feel like you look better every video! 😻
life & times of erica clark Thank you - you’ll love how savage she is in that book.
Take The Day Off Balm is my favorite product of their line.
Fully agree on the mascara, I’ve been using high impact for 10 years and have found nothing that compares!
Thank you Caroline - can you suggest what I can use for 40 year old skin showing signs of aging but with spots. My make has slid off or goes into my lines by lunchtime and I just can’t seem to get skincare right since turning 40 xxxx
Wish you had included the pep start range. I would have liked your opinion. I bought my daughter the acne blemish range. It has been fantastic.
Love is sitting through a 3 minute ad so I can support Mrs. Hirons.
Thanks for this Clinique video. I always finish your vlogs feeling much more confident in my skincare choices!!
What a great overview! Thank youuu....I just bought the Moisture Surge 72 h and I love it 😻 , my makeup looked never this perfect! Now I think I will test out more from clinique.
I love Clinique. It's not fancy, it's not Instagram-worthy. But it has Mom-tested, adult-daughter-approved products! The Moisture Surge is just fabulous - unproblematic and fragrance-free but still pretty enough that I don't feel like I'm using CeraVe. (Booooring...) And their mascaras are wonderful. High-impact mascara is awesome! Chubby Sticks are awesome
Do you have a preference over the Drunk Elephant C-firma serum vs. Clinique Fresh Press?
just throwing in my opinion too, I LOVE the powder cleanser and it's not to say the liquid isn't great but I definitely noticed more of a difference with the powder cleanser than the liquid.
Just my opinion, I used a whole DE C-firma and I can't say I noticed anything, I do have very normal skin. When I used the fresh press with the cleanser for two weeks I saw a difference my skin seemed brighter but I know lots of people love C-firma it just didn't do anything for me personally.
SliceofJax I’m not sure to be honest. Firstly, Clinique actually tests at 14% vitamin C, but they say 10% because they guarantee that you’ll get at least that strength in the period that you use it. So if you are using it up in the suggested timeframe you’re actually getting 14%, and it’s certainly going to be ‘fresher’ and more potent that DE based on the fact it only mixes when you activate it...
Thank you for sharing your experiences! I'm sure they're both good but it might be one of those cases of 'everyone's skin is different'. I've been using DR C-firma, which is why I was curious since Clinique one is more of a fresh delivery system but I haven't heard much about it.
Thanks for the reply Caroline, I was curious because Clinique definitely has a fresher delivery but I haven't heard much about it. Clinique is one of the brands I was actually aware of since I was a child (through my mom) growing up overseas, but there were many things I learned about the brand for the first time from this video. Thank you for always sharing your knowledge from years of being in the industry. While I haven't heard all that much about it, I think I'm going to try the Clinique vitamin once I run out of the DE C-firma.
Brand review. Love it. Have always wanted to try Clinique. Can the eye cream be used on the eye lids? I've never used any of my eye creams on the lids; have always heard you shouldn't. So basically if you don't use an eye primer, the lids are unprotected, unmoisturized. Help.
Loved this! What do you think of the pep start range?
OMG You look STUNNNNNING in this. Love the eye makeup! xx
the turnaround revitalizing night time moisturizer is my fav it makes my skin feel like velvet omg
I love your reviews and your humour! When ever I see you have uploaded a video, I get so excited. Such a delight to watch! So much good information as well. Have a lovely week! xox
Caroline what cleanser would you recommend for morning for dehydrated skin that tends to break out 😀
If your face needs a drink, think Pink! ©Caroline Hirons 😁
Seriously, though - Moisture Surge Extra was my OG when I was in my early thirties. My face still begs for hydration so I think it's time to check out the new kid! Thanks for the review.
Love the moisture surge n vit c ... just to give 1st hand feedback it does feel a bit drying... my skin is normal to dry. . Also to yse the entire packet for 1 use is tooo much... guess clinique should look at reducing quantity of individual pack n maybe increase number of packets.... keeping in mind u need to use it up immediately on opening. .. That's the whole point of individual sachets
Hi, Caroline, I trust your judgment and for that reason, I need your help! I’m in my sixties with dry skin and extremely sensitive. I like drunk elephant vitamin c serum, Elizabeth Arden ceremide capsules and Claris double serum. Can you help me on how to wear them on my skin the proper way. Greatly appreciated. Lots of love!!!
And, it is somewhere in the house...updating renovating (STILL) so many things are boxed. Now I have to find it.. Great info-Clinique was the first brand I ever used.. 💌
Hello Caroline I absolutely love your advice and these brand overviews❤️ If possible could you please do one for Lancôme?
High impact, vitamin C powder, all about eyes and moisture surge!!!! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
I haven’t tried the acid toner though. Going to a beauty store tomorrow!!!!
LOVE the chubby sticks! I got one in my John Lewis beauty calendar for Xmas. I bought one for my mum too and she loves it!
Hi Caroline! Do you recommend the Clarifying Lotion 1.0 for a dry, mild rosacea ( mild texture; no pastules) and VERY sensitive skin? How many times a week? I’m nervous about it cause of having sensitive skin. If the Daily Relief Cream is not enough for moisture; which product would you recommend to go over it at night? The 72 hour or the supercharged? Ty! 🤗
