Clinique’s mission has always been to provide the safest, most effective formulas in simple routines that bring remarkable results. A custom-fit philosophy extends to Clinique Colour, which opens all skin types and tones to the joy of possibilities. Proudly allergy-tested and 100% fragrance-free, Clinique’s skin care authority is truly global. Clinique is always different. And always will be.
