You guys know better than anyone else how much I love finding out about brands. Well last week when I took the day off I popped over to Norwich to visit Clinique. Now they are found inside Boots in Chapelfield. With a beautiful setup I can guarantee its worth a visit.
Now Clinique is a brand I have heard spoken about many times. However its never been a brand I have looked into. They were founded in 1968, which is a whopping 50 years ago. In 1967 a dermatologist called Dr Orentreich was advising his patients to use a 3 step skincare system which he had created himself. This involved cleanse, exfoliate and moisturise. Three simple steps everyone could do at home. When he was approached by Vogue and asked, Can great skin be created? He replied with the answer yes. So your probably thinking what have these three steps got to do with the brand? Well that one article is what created the beginning of the now worldwide brand Clinique we all know and love today. With many other products coming after this 3 step system the brand only continued to grow.
So what did I notice about Clinique on my first visit. Well its beautifully set up and the packaging is to die for. When I went in I was greeted by the very friendly Molly, who made me feel instantly comfortable within my settings. We went over to an incredibly professional work area where we both got seated and started our conversation. We started with the basics about my blog and a little bit about myself. Then we discussed my skin. The basics, my concerns and what I was really looking for in my skincare routine. This was an absolute dream experience for me as I adore skincare and to have a consultant from Clinique going through mine with me was incredible. After we had chatted for a while about my skin Molly went off to pick out the products she thought would be perfect for my skincare routine.
She came back with my routine which consisted of Anti-blemish solutions cleansing foam, Anti-blemish solutions clarifying lotion and Moisture surge 72-hour auto-replenishing hydrator. This would be my morning and evening routine. Then two treatments would be Blackhead solutions 7 day deep pore cleanse and scrub and the Blackhead solutions self-heating blackhead extractor. All of these products are incredible and the packaging is to die for. All of Cliniques products are fragrance free making them so much more softer on your skin. Most brands come with fragrance which is an ingredient which is not needed due to this being the main cause of irritation. These products all look incredible together.
After we had finished my skincare routine we spoke about the 3 step system. Which I am in absolute awe of. This would be the system I would use if I didn't have the acne focused products. Having said that these products are definitely on my list to try. The idea of only needing 3 products twice a day to achieve perfect skin, is an unbelievable thought. But it really does work.
Cliniques most selling product?
This was one of my questions I was dying to know. So the conclusion is Dramatically different moisturising lotion+. Now we tried this product out and it is incredible I love it. This is part of the 3 step system and it is definitely one to try.
Mollys go to?
When I asked Molly this question, I would guarantee you have never seen anyone get so excited, she just loves so much. She decided to go for Clinique smart. This is a serum. She said that this product helped her to get her skin to the way she wanted it. It now, keeps it in the condition she wants it.
I was lucky enough to walk away with four samples. These are..
- Moisture surge
-Dramatically different moisturising lotion+
-Blackhead solutions 7 day deep pore cleanse and scrub
-Clinique smart
All of these samples are absolutely Devine. I love them and I have noticed a noticeable difference since using them. I will definitely be purchasing some products from Clinique in the very close future.
Massive thank you to Clinique Norwich for having me and thank you to Molly for making me feel so welcome.
