During the 10-week program, our interns will support teams across Global Marketing, Creative, Education, Communications, and Brand Growth Intelligence – gaining hands-on experience within their designated departments and relevant areas of interest.

Leonard A. Lauder 1933 – 2025 We deeply mourn the passing of our brilliant and fearless leader, Leonard A. Lauder, Chairman Emeritus and beloved 'Chief Teaching Officer' of The Estée Lauder Companies. A visionary whose wisdom, kindness, and generosity shaped our industry and touched countless lives, Mr. Lauder’s legacy will forever guide and inspire us.   At Clinique, this loss is felt particularly deep. Mr. Lauder didn’t just believe in our brand—he imagined it into being. Clinique was born from his unique gift for bringing together remarkable teams and creating the future. As he wrote in his memoir: “Clinique wasn’t just a new line of skincare or makeup: it was an entirely new way of thinking about beauty.” That innovative way of thinking continues to define who we are today. We honor his legacy with deep gratitude, pride, and an enduring commitment to the values he instilled in us.    Thank you, Mr. Lauder. Your impact is forever

Clinique was proud to return as a sponsor and exhibitor at Music City SCALE 2025, engaging with the dermatology community in meaningful dialogue about the latest advancements in skincare and makeup science. As part of the symposium Dr. Michael Gold, SCALE co-chair, spotlighted the breakthrough technology and clinical findings behind NEW Even Better Clinical Dark Spot Clearing Serum and NEW Even Better Clinical™ Vitamin C Foundation SPF 45 during a presentation on aesthetic treatments and innovations – reinforcing Clinique’s unwavering commitment to dermatologist guided solutions that address key dermatological concerns, including hyperpigmentation for all skin tones. At the Clinique booth, attendees had the opportunity to experience the innovations firsthand and connect with Clinique Product Development and Educators to dive deeper into the brand’s dermatological heritage, clinical solutions from skincare to makeup, published research, and the brand’s commitment to innovations that deliver powerful efficacy and rigorous safety.    Thank you to everyone who visited the Clinique booth. We are deeply grateful for these moments of connection and conversation with the dermatology community, as we work together toward our shared mission of creating great skin for all. #Clinique

This week, we are thrilled to share Clinique and the Skin of Color Society Foundation (SOCSF) opened applications to The Dermatologists of Tomorrow Scholarship, a program created to broaden access to the specialty of dermatology.  The Dermatologists of Tomorrow Scholarship presented by Clinique and SOCSF provides financial support and mentorship to medical students who are committed to achieving health equity in their pursuit of a career in dermatology. Announced at the recent 21st Annual SOCS Scientific Symposium, Kelly Fanning, SVP Clinique North America, shared the joint focus of Clinique and SOCSF on supporting students and their educational endeavors by structuring a program to reduce the financial burden of applying for dermatology residency. In addition to financial aid, this program will also offer mentorship from dermatology professionals to enhance career development, the residency application process, and long-term success in the field, further demonstrating Clinique’s ongoing commitment to the dermatological community.

Clinique nods to its iconic fragrance, Clinique Happy, by celebrating International Day of Happiness which is recognized worldwide on March 20th. The day serves as a reminder that happiness is more than just a moment—it’s foundational to Clinique's heritage and culture.   Clinique originally launched the iconic Happy fragrance in 1997, offering a citrus-bright, floral-fresh scent that promises a happy day. A blend of ingredients that actually spark joy.   In fact, a third-party neurosensory study commissioned by Clinique found that 97% of women feel happy when they smell Happy.* That’s the power of science-backed cosmetics.   *Out of 72 women who were drawn to the scent after smelling it, Clinique commissioned a third-party neurosensory study to measure the conscious and subconscious emotional responses of women who demonstrated purchase intent.

This weekend, Clinique was proud to attend the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD) Annual Meeting and deeply appreciated the opportunity to engage with the community of dermatologists, researchers, clinicians, and industry professionals from around the world.   During the multi-day event, Clinique presented the brand’s breakthrough serum innovations that address key dermatological concerns across hyperpigmentation, de-aging and hydration. Clinique's lead R&D expert led scientific sessions, showcasing the brand's powerful efficacy and rigorous safety standards, while exploring the science behind NEW Even Better Clinical Dark Spot Clearing Serum and NEW Moisture Surge Active Glow Serum.    At the booth, Clinique Educators engaged in conversations about Clinique’s simple solutions for remarkable skin results, in addition to providing services showcasing skincare and makeup.   See you in Denver next year as we continue our mission to create great skin. #Clinique #AAD2025

As a dermatologist guided brand, Clinique was honored to host a seminar at the 49th Annual Meeting of the Japanese Society for Investigative Dermatology (JSID). This prestigious event provided the opportunity to connect with dermatologists from Japan and around the world, sharing insights into the latest advancements in addressing skin hyperpigmentation. Our featured speakers included Dr. Kenshi Yamasaki, Director of ALOOP Clinic and Lab, who shared his research on the underlying mechanisms of hyperpigmentation, and Dr. Tom Mammone, Vice President of Global Skin Physiology and Pharmacology at the Estee Lauder Companies. Dr. Mammone presented findings on UP302, an innovative tyrosinase inhibitor that is a key ingredient in Clinique’s NEW Even Better Clinical Dark Spot Clearing Serum. As a brand deeply rooted in dermatological expertise, Clinique values the opportunity to contribute to meaningful discussions in the vibrant dermatology community. Japan holds a special place as a heritage market in the Asia Pacific region, making our participation in JSID all the more significant. #Clinique
