If you grew up in the 90's chances are you went to the @Clinique counter with the most makeup obsessed adult human in your life. I went with my mom, and eventually, I kept going back to the Clinique counter for very specific items. I still use them from time to time, but as you know, I am always evaluating. The top 3 Clinique items I've used over the years are the Take the Day Off, Eye makeup remover. Such a gentle but effective removal. No oily or white residue! The cleansing balm is still, to this day, one of my all-time favorites. Again so gentle, and super effective. The waxes melt out perfectly and don't feel too greasy on skin. And finally, let's give a quick shout out to the moisture surge! Back when I used her, it was more of an add on to my moisturizer now she has up to 100H of hydration in her claim. I actually watched Chanel pioneer an up to 72H hydration claim first. And now it's no surprise to see Clinique up there competitively with a higher claim. This is something that is tested by third parties to see how long the product actually provides moisture. This is definitely something that is nice to know, but I don't skip moisturizer when using these, I still apply it daily.
