My mother and I went the Clinique counter at Sak's in Beverly Hills the week it opened! I was 19 and she was 45. We were so impressed and excited and it was so much fun doing the skin type test and getting our products. My mother used Clinique until she died at 92. Her skin was gorgeous and almost wrinkle-free (yes, she was genetically blessed). We used to love it when Clinique had special mini gift sets free with purchase. We'd make a day out of going to Bullock's Wilshire, shopping Clinique, followed by a lovely lunch and fashion show at the Tea Room. Over my life (I am 73), I have had highly sensitive, reactive skin and Clinique was a life-saver for me, especially because it was fragrance-free. I strayed away from Clinique many times over the decades but usually ended up returning. Although I no longer shop their products, I have a fond place in my heart for the innovative concept behind them. Of course, my memories with my beautiful mother are most responsible for my affection for the brand. Thank you so much for this video. You made my day!

Wow thank you for that history lesson! I started using Clinique in the mid 70's as a teenager. And yes I went to the department store and slid those little knobs to find out what products were good for my skin 'type". It served its purpose for me at the time. Luckily I've always had an interest in my skin and took care of it early on, except for like you said the sun protection. I still used oils, cooked my pale skin, and tried to look like the girl from St. Tropez which is what I battle now that I am 60. The discoloration and loss of firmness is from too much sun exposure. So young women today have a huge advantage having the knowledge we didn't have back then.

Hi Dr. DRAY CLINIQUE makeup was a blessing for me in my twenties as I had already developed a sensitivity to fragrance ! It was the only game in town then.

This was so interesting! I loved hearing about the history of Clinique and the relationship with Estee Lauder.

Enjoyed the history about Clinique. I may have started using the trio in 1970 or not much later. A family friend worked behind the counter at a now-defunct department store in the Boston area. There was a mini of the green case useful to travel. Estee Lauder also created "gift with purchase" marketing & we all loved the Clinique pastel goodie bags. Bought many of the makeup products, too. For many years, it was the only lipstick I could wear because it was unscented.

I still use quite a bit of it although it is a little easier to find fragrance free products now. Wonderful memories!

This was so interesting! Clinique’s Moisture Surge cream was the first moisturizer I ever purchased!

Thanks Dr. Dray. I liked your history lesson on how skin care all began. I used Clinique. It was very popular with my female family members

Such a cool video with interesting history, thank you Dr Dray!

Glad you enjoyed it!

Yes I started using Clinique in 1974. Before that I used Bonnie Bell 1006 lotion!

Me too!

I loved this video! Such a fascinating deep dive into that iconic brand. 😊

My mom and I went to Marshall Field in Chicago and got the soap,toner, and lotion when I was 12 or 13yrs old. I never had any acne, I just loved taking care of my skin even at that age. Before I got Clinique, I was using drugstore products like Noxzema and Seabreeze toner. The clinic was such a wonderful step up for me. Just seeing that green box brings me back to an exact time in my life. So fun watching this video, and I learned way more than I ever knew about the people behind the product. Thanks!

I love this walk down memory lane!!! I love learning the history of cosmetic lines. This is so interesting. Please do more like this… I was a type 1 in my teens a 20’s. My mom took me to the counter when I was 12… and bought me cleanser, toner and moisturizer. I also remember she only let me wear their make up through my teens. I had little to no break outs in my teens … a few at period time. I remember only using Clinique sun screen on my face. Spf 15???

Clinique was my first non drugstore skincare purchase. Loved this.

Happy Friday Dr! I really enjoyed the story of Clinique. You should continue doing these history videos :)

Wow, I love hearing the origins of Clinique. Yes, I turned to it when my derm's treatment of acne wasn't working. He used a sunlamp(cringe) & oral tetracycline. Have a great Friday!!

Hey Dr Dray, I used Clinique from high school, off and on into adult hood. I like Clinique, but it and everything else is getting so expensive. My mom wanted me to have a "regiment", so I started with Clinique. I always went to my local mall and picked it up. Great times😉.

Thanks, and I have a question. What do I need to do with powder makeup products that irritate me or just no longer look good on me? I hate to throw it away and waste money. I know I can't let someone else use it, that's not very sanitary 😄. Thanks again for the help

Dr D, here’s wishing you a terrific weekend ! Stay cool, stay safe, and we will see you tomorrow. Big hugs from NC

Thank you for this interesting glimpse into the early days of differentiating cosmetic brands into types like “pampering/luxury” and “science based/wellness”. Loved Evelyn (sp?) Lauder’s involvement and ideas and good for the Vogue editor who sought out a seriously accomplished dermatologist for her interview! Wonder what all the early innovators would think of the superabundance of brands today, all trying to differentiate themselves and creating a market sliced “finer than frog hair” 😂🤣.

My mom and aunts got me hooked on Clinique shortly after it’s inception. My aunt who is now 92 still only uses Clinique skincare products and makeup! Also my aunt still has the same hairstyle - sort of a rounded beehive. You sure did take me down memory lane today. Thanks for more interesting and fun content, Dr Dray!

I really enjoyed learning the history of Clinique. When it came time to start a skin care routine and wearing make-up , my mom took me to the Clinique counter. I had forgotten about moving the slides to determine your skin type. I used the line exclusively for about fifteen years. It was about that time that Philosophy came onto the scene and I started using that for a few years. I then switched to Origins, but hated the fragrance. I now enjoy First Aid Beauty, Vani Cream and The Ordinary.

Love this skincare history and informational video!

Hi Dr. Dray, I used Clinique skincare products in high school. I really enjoyed their moisturizing lotion. I also remember using Coppertone sunscreen with SPF 6. The SPF in sunscreen was pretty low from what i remember. Not good at all ,as i still have sun spots from sun damage. And to be honest, I didnt wear sunscreen on the daily back then like I do now. Thank you for all the effort you put in to your channel. I really appreciate it. Im a long time subscriber. Have a great day!

In the 70’s and 80’s, I recall that SPF 6 was considered pretty significant protection.

My son gave me a whole line of Clinique for my birthday. I love it! Their Smart lotion has SPF in it. I loved hearing about the history of Clinique. Thank you! 🌺🌸
