Just like any brand, some products are good and some are bad. But what makes Clinique not worth the money is just how unreliable it is. For every Clinique product that has good reviews, you'll find one with bad reviews. For a brand that markets itself to a more affluent community of beauty lovers, with prices that are comparable to high-end, high-quality products, Clinique really needs to do better than that. Skincare mogul and Youtuber Hyram is one of the most well-known skincare reviewers on TikTok, with a whopping total of 6.7 million followers on the app. This year, he posted a video to his YouTube channel titled, "The Truth about Clinique", which he claims was one of his most highly-requested videos. After nearly 16 minutes of reviewing Clinique products and giving his thoughts, he ends by saying, "With the budget that they have and the amount of influence that they have, they could be making really impressive formulas, but they just aren't doing that."
Makeup empress Tati Westbrook, with a following of nearly 10 million on YouTube, posted a video titled "AWFUL PRODUCTS." She echoes Hyram's sentiments, commenting on one of Clinique's eyeliner pens. She claims that she wore it only one time before she knew she never wanted to wear it again. She called the product a "hard pass" at a whopping $21.
