CLINIQUE has set the theme of its 2026 holiday collection as "H-A-P-P-Y," and will release skincare sets nationwide in limited quantities on Friday, October 9, 2026, as the first wave. Some items will also be sold in advance.
The company positions the collection as a gift of heart-leaping excitement and special radiance. The first wave consists of three sets: for hydrating care, brightening care and aging care.
Moisture Surge Set: choose one of four products
The "Choose Your Moisture Surge Set" lets you choose one full-size product from four Moisture Surge products. The four choices are a hydrating toner, a medicated hydrating serum (quasi-drug), a hydrating gel cream and a hydrating cream. It comes with a gift-size body cream, a lip treatment and an original pouch.
The price varies by the item you choose, from ¥5,940 to ¥9,350 (tax included).
Even Better Double Serum Set 27, combining a booster and a serum
"Even Better Double Serum Set 27" is a set of two full-size products, a medicated booster serum and a brightening serum, with a box. It costs ¥17,600 (tax included).
The medicated booster serum "Even Better Active Booster Serum" (quasi-drug) contains the whitening active ingredient niacinamide. Whitening here means suppressing the production of melanin to prevent spots and freckles. According to the company, it has won multiple best cosmetics awards, including "@cosme Best Cosmetics Awards 2026 First Half, New Release Best Booster Serum, No. 1."
"Even Better Illuminating Bright Serum" is a brightening serum. It contains the proprietary brightening ingredient "UP302" (dimethoxytolyl propylresorcinol: skin-conditioning ingredient), niacinamide (skin-conditioning ingredient) and more, and the company says it addresses the look of dullness caused by dryness.
A set of the newly released Smart Repair CL+PD Cream and two aging care products
"Smart Repair CL+PD Cream 50 Set 27" combines 50 mL of the full-size, newly released aging care cream "Smart Repair CL+PD Cream" with a gift-size serum and eye cream, and costs ¥13,420 (tax included). A pouch and a box are included.
The cream contains collagen (moisturizing ingredient), PDRN (DNA-Na: moisturizing ingredient) and peptides (ingredient that gives the skin firmness). The company describes it as a product for people concerned about a lack of elasticity. The set also includes 10 mL of "Smart Repair Serum," which contains a retinol derivative (hydroxypinacolone retinoate: skin-conditioning ingredient), and 5 mL of "Smart Repair Eye Cream." The company also says a set of two creams is available.
*Aging care means care suited to one's age.
*Bouncy, firm skin means beautiful skin that is springy, taut and firm.
