Where Can I Buy Discontinued Clinique Products?
Why Clinique Cannot Be Duped
Most beauty products have an acceptable “dupe” or duplicate in another brand. Except for Clinique. For those with skin sensitivities, it is difficult to replace a Clinique product.
Clinique was an early physician-developed line starting with the iconic Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizer.
Clinique is well tolerated by most sensitivities and has a loyal following. With Clinique, dupes are a last resort. It is difficult to replace both a shade and a sensitive skin-friendly formulation.
This guide focuses on where to find the discontinued Clinique product for sale.
