Estee Lauder skin care is renowned for its innovative, advanced products for the face and body.
About Estee Lauder
It all started in 1946 with a jar of skin cream. Decades later, the company founded by beauty pioneer Estee Lauder is a worldwide leader in the beauty industry. Specializing in makeup, fragrance and innovative skin care, Estee Lauder's products are a fusion of science and beauty.
Your Skincare Solution
One look at any department store skin care lineup is enough to send anyone running in the other direction. The bottles look the same, the names sound like a foreign language and, frankly, maybe you aren't quite so sure what all of those fancy ingredients are for, anyway.
Estee Lauder's approach is user-friendly. The technologically-advanced company is backed by the findings and support of Dr. Daniel Maes, a senior research scientist who has been with the company since 1991. In addition to serving as Vice President of Research and Development for Estee Lauder Laboratories, he also plays a role in developing the brand's cutting edge skin care products.
What this means for the consumer is simple. Estee Lauder's web site features a Skincare Finder that makes choosing the right products a snap. The Finder focuses on three categories, each featuring a very brief questionnaire that focuses on your skin's primary concerns.
