My Opinion
Clinique has been a go-to brand for so many people because their products tend to work for those with sensitive skin. This is one of the first big, department store brands that I tried. I can remember going to the Clinique counter in Belk and getting a lip gloss when I first started getting interested in makeup. I used to swear by their Moisture Surge moisturizer and their Acne Solutions Clinical Gel, but I’ve since found cheaper alternatives. I love the branding/packaging/marketing behind the Pep-Start line. It is eye catching a great, simple start to skincare for younger guys and gals. I know there are people that are very loyal to Clinique since the brand has been around a long time. Their complexion products tend to lean warm so they don’t always work out for me. They definitely have some great products, but it’s not a brand I seek out or get excited about.
