Cleanse and Prep
I like starting with gentle cleansing and targeted prep so the rest of the routine applies more comfortably. Compare balm, liquid cleanser and exfoliating lotion textures, then choose the formula that suits your skin type and frequency of use.
I like this cleansing balm as the first evening step because the silky texture helps dissolve makeup and sunscreen before a water based cleanse. Massage it onto dry skin, add water and rinse, then follow with your regular cleanser.
Take The Day Off™ Cleansing Balm
I like this mild liquid facial soap for a simple second cleanse, especially when skin prefers a gentle wash. Use it after makeup removal and compare the Mild and Oily Skin formulas before choosing.
All About Clean™ Liquid Facial Soap Mild
I like Clarifying Lotion 2 as a targeted exfoliating step for dry combination skin when used exactly as directed. Keep it away from the eye area and compare the numbered formulas carefully because each one suits a different skin type.
Clarifying Lotion 2
I like this gentle cream cleanser for sensitive or easily irritated skin because it removes everyday impurities without making the routine feel harsh. Massage it onto damp skin, rinse and compare the texture with the liquid facial soap.
Clinique Daily Calm™ Gentle Cream Cleanser
I like this cleanser when dull skin needs gentle daily exfoliation along with a fresh wash. Use it once daily as directed, avoid the eye area and active breakouts, and do not combine it with too many other exfoliating steps.
Moisture Surge™ Exfoliating Glow Cleanser
Hydrate and Care
I like combining lightweight hydration with targeted eye care and daily protection. Compare gel cream, lotion, serum and SPF textures, then choose products that match your skin type, season and morning or evening routine.
I like this gel cream when I want lightweight hydration that absorbs quickly and layers well under makeup. The fresh texture feels less rich than a lotion, so compare sizes and ingredients before choosing.
Moisture Surge™ 100H Auto-Replenishing Hydrator
I like this classic moisturizing lotion when skin needs a richer, more comforting texture than a gel. Compare it with Moisture Surge and choose the version that suits your skin type and season.
Dramatically Different™ Moisturizing Lotion+
I like this lightweight eye cream for a smoother, refreshed look without a heavy feel. Apply a small amount as directed and compare it with All About Eyes Rich if you prefer a thicker texture.
All About Eyes™ Eye Cream
I like this sheer moisturizer for mornings when I want hydration and SPF 25 in one step. Apply the recommended amount and use a separate higher protection sunscreen when your day requires stronger sun protection.
Moisture Surge™ SPF 25 Sheer Hydrator
I like this lightweight serum for adding hydration and a fresher glow without a heavy layer. Because it also exfoliates, introduce it gradually and avoid combining too many strong exfoliating products in the same routine.
Moisture Surge™ Active Glow Serum
I like this targeted serum when fine lines and a firmer looking finish are the priority. Introduce it gradually, follow the product directions and keep the rest of the routine simple while your skin adjusts.
Clinique Smart Clinical Repair™ Wrinkle Correcting Serum
I like this SPF 50 sunscreen for mornings when I want higher daily protection with a more hydrating finish. Apply it generously as the last skincare step and reapply according to the directions, especially during longer outdoor days.
UV Solutions Hydrating Sunscreen SPF 50/PA++++
Everyday Makeup
I like these easy makeup picks for a polished everyday look without too many steps. Match foundation and concealer by depth and undertone, then compare mascara, cheek and lip shades before choosing your finish.
I like this serum foundation for fuller coverage with a matte finish. Compare shade depth and undertone carefully, and remember that the SPF 20 in makeup does not replace a properly applied daily sunscreen.
Even Better Clinical™ Serum Foundation SPF 20
I like this mascara for defined everyday lashes that can be built from one light coat to a stronger look. Remove it gently at night with a suitable eye makeup remover.
High Impact™ Mascara
I like Black Honey for a sheer berry tint that can stay subtle with one layer or look deeper when built up. The finish and color adapt to your natural lip tone, so expect a slightly different result on every person.
Almost Lipstick in Black Honey
I like this powder blush for adding a fresh touch of color without committing to full intensity at once. Start with a light sweep, build gradually and compare the available shades with your skin tone.
Cheek Pop™ Blush
I like this full coverage concealer for brightening under the eyes and covering smaller areas without adding another heavy base layer. Match both depth and undertone, then blend a small amount and build only where needed.
Even Better™ All-Over Concealer + Eraser
I like this sheer pressed powder for reducing shine without adding heavy coverage. Use it lightly over the T zone or for touch ups, and compare the available shades so the finish stays natural.
Stay-Matte Sheer Pressed Powder
I like this twist up eyeliner for a quick everyday eye look without sharpening. Draw a thin line close to the lashes, soften it before it sets and compare the shades with your mascara and eye color.
Quickliner™ For Eyes
I like this longwear lipstick when I want more color and staying power than a sheer balm. Compare the satin, matte and shine finishes, then choose a shade that works with your everyday makeup and natural lip tone.
Clinique Pop™ Longwear Lipstick
I like this two in one foundation and concealer when I want natural looking coverage with fewer products. Start with a small amount, blend quickly and compare shade depth and undertone carefully before choosing.
