Clinique is one of the world's largest suppliers of prestige makeup and fragrance products. It was launched by Estée Lauder Inc. and premiered to the public at Saks Fifth Avenue in August 1968.In 1968, magazine editor Carol Phillips consulted with Park Avenue dermatologist Dr. Norman Orentreich for an article titled "Can Great Skin Be Created?". The doctor shared the products and procedures that he used in his own office. The article caught the attention of Estee Lauder and Dr. Orentreich was brought on board to help create the first Dermatologist developed skincare line.Clinique was developed for people who have very sensitive skin, and prior to Clinique, could use very few cosmetic products. Clinique was at that time different from most cosmetic companies in that its goal was to meet individual skin care needs by categorizing skin types. Clinique products are Allergy Tested and 100% fragrance free.
