About Clinque

Clinique was founded in New York in 1968, born from a revolutionary article in Vogue that asked "Can great skin be created?" The answer was a dermatologist-consumer collaboration between Dr Norman Orentreich, Vogue beauty editor Carol Phillips, and Estée Lauder executive Evelyn Lauder — resulting in the world's first dermatologist-developed, allergy-tested, fragrance-free prestige skincare brand. Clinique remains part of the Estée Lauder Companies alongside brands like MAC, Bobbi Brown, La Mer, and Tom Ford Beauty.

Clinique's foundational principle is the 3-Step System — cleanse, exfoliate, moisturise — which remains their most iconic product concept after over 55 years. The three products in the system (Facial Soap/Liquid Facial Soap, Clarifying Lotion, and Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion+) are among the best-selling skincare products in the world and the recommended starting point for anyone new to the brand.

Their most popular products in Australia include:

Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion+ — Clinique's signature moisturiser and one of the best-selling facial moisturisers globally. Lightweight, effective, and suitable for most skin types.

Moisture Surge — a gel-cream hydrator that has become a cult favourite in Australian beauty communities for its lightweight texture suited to humid Australian summers.

Even Better Clinical Foundation — a full-coverage foundation with skincare benefits (dark spot correction, SPF) that is one of Clinique's strongest-selling makeup products in Australia.

Almost Lipstick in Black Honey — a sheer, universally flattering lip colour that went viral on TikTok and became one of the most searched beauty products globally. Consistently sold out and restocked.

Clinique iD — a customisable moisturiser system where you pair a base (hydrating lotion, gel, or jelly) with an active concentrate cartridge targeting a specific skin concern (pores, lines, uneven skin tone, fatigue, irritation).

In Australia, Clinique is available at Myer, David Jones, Sephora, and through clinique.com.au with Australian pricing and domestic shipping. Clinique counters at Myer and David Jones offer complimentary skin consultations where trained staff assess your skin type and recommend products — a genuinely valuable free service for anyone unsure which Clinique products suit their skin.

How to save on Clinique in Australia

  • Gift-with-purchase (GWP) — Clinique runs regular GWP promotions through both clinique.com.au and department store counters (Myer, David Jones). These typically include deluxe-sized samples, full-size products, and cosmetics bags with a minimum spend. GWP value often exceeds $100 — making it one of the most effective ways to try new products for free.
  • Myer and David Jones sales — both department stores run beauty event promotions (typically twice yearly) where Clinique is included alongside other prestige brands. These are the best opportunities to buy Clinique at below-RRP through an authorised Australian retailer.
  • Sephora sales — Sephora Australia's biannual sale events include Clinique at 10-20% off, depending on loyalty tier. For Sephora Beauty Pass members, these are among the only times prestige brands like Clinique are formally discounted.
  • Clinique.com.au exclusives — the Clinique Australian website sometimes offers online-only sets, bundles, and value sizes not available at department store counters. Check the "Special Offers" section before purchasing.
  • Black Friday — Clinique participates in Black Friday sales in November through their own site and stockists, often with 15-25% off sitewide or enhanced GWP offers.
  • Free skin consultation — visiting a Clinique counter at Myer or David Jones for a complimentary skin consultation costs nothing and ensures you're buying the right products for your skin type, avoiding expensive trial-and-error purchases.

Clinique FAQ

Is Clinique sold in Australia?
Yes — Clinique has a strong Australian presence. They operate an Australian website at clinique.com.au with AUD pricing and domestic shipping. They are also sold at Myer and David Jones beauty counters (with trained Clinique consultants), and at Sephora stores and online. Department store counters offer complimentary skin consultations.

Is Clinique fragrance-free?
Yes — Clinique has been 100% fragrance-free since its founding in 1968. Every Clinique product is formulated without added fragrance, making them one of the safest prestige skincare brands for sensitive skin, rosacea-prone skin, and people with fragrance allergies or sensitivities. This commitment to fragrance-free formulation is central to the brand's identity and is one of the primary reasons dermatologists recommend Clinique.

What is the Clinique 3-Step System?
The 3-Step System is Clinique's foundational skincare routine: Step 1 (Cleanse) with Facial Soap or Liquid Facial Soap, Step 2 (Exfoliate) with Clarifying Lotion (a liquid exfoliant), and Step 3 (Moisturise) with Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion+ or Gel. The system is tailored to your skin type (very dry to oily, rated 1-4 by Clinique) and has been the brand's core product offering since 1968. For anyone new to Clinique, starting with the 3-Step System matched to your skin type is the recommended approach.

How does Clinique compare to Estée Lauder or Lancôme?
All three are prestige skincare and makeup brands available at Australian department stores. Clinique is the most dermatologist-focused and clinical of the three — fragrance-free, allergy-tested, and positioned around skin health rather than luxury or anti-ageing specifically. Estée Lauder (Clinique's parent company stablemate) has a more luxury positioning with a stronger anti-ageing range (Advanced Night Repair is their hero product). Lancôme (owned by L'Oréal) blends French luxury with skincare science. For sensitive skin or a no-fragrance requirement, Clinique is the clear choice; for prestige anti-ageing, Estée Lauder; for luxury beauty with a French heritage aesthetic, Lancôme.

What is Clinique Almost Lipstick Black Honey?
Almost Lipstick in Black Honey is a sheer, buildable lip colour that adapts to your natural lip tone, creating a universally flattering "your lips but better" effect. Originally launched in 1971, it went viral on TikTok in 2021 and became one of the most searched beauty products globally. It is available at all Clinique Australian stockists and is frequently sold out due to ongoing demand.

Does Clinique offer free samples in Australia?
Clinique.com.au includes complimentary deluxe samples with most orders. Department store counters (Myer, David Jones) will often provide samples of specific products upon request during a skin consultation. The most effective way to receive substantial free product is through Clinique's gift-with-purchase promotions, which run regularly and include multiple deluxe-sized products.
