Launched in 1968, Clinique was born from a revolutionary concept printed in Vogue: great skin can be created. This idea, brought to life by beauty editor Carol Phillips, dermatologist Dr. Norman Orentreich, and Estée Lauder executive Evelyn Lauder, established Clinique as the world's first dermatologist-developed, allergy-tested, and 100% fragrance-free prestige beauty brand. Headquartered in New York City, the brand’s philosophy is rooted in a clinical, customized approach to skincare, famously embodied by its iconic 3-Step System of cleansing, exfoliating, and moisturizing, which remains a cornerstone of its product offerings. The brand’s clean, minimalist packaging and the signature white lab coats worn by its consultants reinforce its scientific and results-driven identity.
