Types of Clinique Butter How to Use Clinique Butter

Clinique Butter

The oily moisturizing ingredients of butter are mineral oil, sesame oil, glyceryl stearic acid, etc., and the water-based moisturizing ingredient is propylene glycol. To be precise, Clinique butter uses chemical raw materials to simulate the natural moisturizing structure of the skin. Butter has been launched for 40 years, and at that time, this concept formula was very advanced. But now it seems that this formula can only be said to be classic, not leading. In recent years, with the in-depth research of skin science, a series of ingredients that play a role in maintaining the barrier structure and locking in moisture in the surface skin have been recognized, such as squalane, ceramide, PCA, lactic acid, polysaccharides, and many other natural moisturizing factors. More advanced formulas have been born and continue to develop.

Types of Clinique Butter

The classic butter is divided into two textures: oily and oil-free. According to the official introduction, the oily version is suitable for dry skin and neutral skin, and the oil-free version is suitable for oily skin and combination skin. In fact, for many people who don’t have too many skin problems, Clinique butter is still okay, but for sensitive skin, combination skin and oily skin, Clinique butter’s weakness is more obvious.

Strictly speaking, there are 4 types of Clinique butters: Clinique Oily Butter, Clinique Oil-free Butter, Clinique Transparent Butter, and Clinique Moisturizing Cream. These 4 types correspond to different skin types.

1. Clinique Oil-Free Butter: This is a butter for dry skin, which contains mineral oil. Relatively speaking, this one has a stronger occlusive property, and its main highlight is its moisturizing effect. This one is only recommended for people with dry skin or those living in relatively dry areas.

2. Clinique Oil-free Butter: Clinique's oil-free should refer to the absence of mineral oil, but the normal oil content is still there. It is very refreshing and feels very comfortable on the face. It can be used all year round. It is completely moisturizing for oily skin. The face will be more stable when using this lotion. It is a very good lotion. There are often discounts in duty-free shops and it can last for half a year.

3. Clinique Clear Butter: This product doesn't feel like a lotion, but rather a gel-like toner. It has strong fluidity and good ductility. When applied on the face, it feels like water, very refreshing. If you have very oily skin, you can just apply this after cleansing in the summer and then apply sunscreen before going out. It's a must-have for lazy people.

4. Clinique Moisturizing Cream: This one should be outdated soon. It is not a classic bottle of butter, but a jar of cream. It has strong moisturizing ability and strong occlusive property for desert dry skin. However, in recent years, due to the upgrade of Water Magnetic Field Cream, she switched to Water Magnetic Field Cream.

Usage and steps

Clinique Oil-Free Butter can be used as a facial cream as the last step in moisturizing dry skin. Facial cleanser + toner + Clinique Oil-Free Butter

Clinique Oil-Free Butter, used as lotion, as the last step of moisturizing oily skin. Facial cleanser + toner + Clinique Oil-Free Butter

Clinique Transparent Butter can be used as a moisturizing essence, facial cleanser + toner + Clinique Transparent Butter + moisturizing lotion or cream

If you have dry, neutral or combination skin and want a moisturizing essence, I recommend Clinique Clear Butter. It is best to apply a more lasting moisturizing cream afterwards. If you have oily skin and want a hydrating moisturizing lotion, you can try Clinique Clear Butter if you don't need oil control. If you want oil control, I still recommend Clinique Oil-Free Butter. It is hard to say whether sensitive skin with poor tolerance, thin stratum corneum, and skin prone to redness, burning, stinging, itching, and rashes can use it. You can try the more gentle Curel, Avene, and Yuze.
