Types of Clinique Butter How to Use Clinique Butter

Clinique's butter products are a type of basic moisturizing skin care products that use chemical ingredients to simulate the skin's natural barrier. There are four types of Clinique butter, how should I choose? How to use it?

Types of Clinique Butter

The oily moisturizing ingredients of butter are mineral oil, sesame oil, glyceryl stearate, etc., and the water-based moisturizing ingredient is propylene glycol. To be precise, Clinique butter uses chemical raw materials to simulate the skin's natural moisturizing structure. The butter was launched 40 years ago and the concept was very advanced at that time. But now it seems that this formula can only be said to be classic, not leading. With the in-depth research of skin science in recent years, 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.

How to use Clinique Butter

The classic butter is divided into two textures: oily and oil-free. According to the official introduction, the oily type is suitable for dry skin and neutral skin, while the oil-free type 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 weaknesses are more obvious.

Strictly speaking, there are actually four types of Clinique butters: Clinique Oil-containing 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 and contains mineral oil. Relatively speaking, this product has stronger occlusiveness, and its main highlight is its moisturizing effect. This product is only recommended for people with dry skin or those living in drier areas.

2. Clinique Oil-Free Butter: Clinique's oil-free should mean mineral oil-free, but the normal oil ingredients are still there. It is very refreshing and feels comfortable on the face. It can be used all year round and is completely moisturizing enough for oily skin. My face feels more stable when I use this lotion. It is a very good lotion. There are often discounts at duty-free shops, which are valid for half a year.

3. Clinique Clear Butter: I feel that this product is not really like a lotion, but rather has a gel-like texture. It has strong fluidity and good ductility. When you apply it on your face, it feels like it dissolves in water and is very refreshing. If you have very oily skin, you can just apply this after cleansing in the summer and then put on some sunscreen and you can go out. It's a must-have for lazy people.

4. Clinique Moisturizer: This product is about to be eliminated. This product does not have the classic bottle of butter, but a jar of cream. Desert dry skin has strong moisturizing ability and strong occlusive properties. However, in recent years, due to the upgrade of the Water Magnetic Field Cream, she switched to the Water Magnetic Field Cream.

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

If you have dry, normal or combination skin and want a moisturizing essence, I recommend trying Clinique Clear Butter. It is best to follow up with a more moisturizing and lasting cream. If you have oily skin and want a hydrating moisturizing lotion without oil control, you can try Clinique Clear Butter. If you want to control oil, I recommend Clinique Oil-Free Butter. It is hard to say whether it can be used for sensitive skin with poor tolerance, thin stratum corneum, and skin that is prone to redness, burning, stinging, itching, and rashes. You can try the gentler Curel, Avene, and Essence.
