How to Support Collagen and Reduce Fine Lines with Clinique: 6 Expert Steps

Start with deep hydration to plump skin and smooth fine lines

Clinique Moisture Surge™ 100H Auto-Replenishing Hydrator — helps skin retain moisture with aloe bio-ferment and hyaluronic acid for long-lasting hydration. According to Clinique, this lightweight gel moisturizer floods skin with instant and lasting hydration and is safe for sensitive skin. Well-hydrated skin looks fuller and more resilient — which helps reduce the appearance of fine, dry lines.
Quick Tip: apply moisturizer to slightly damp skin to lock in extra hydration.

Use a targeted de-aging serum to support skin strength and smoothness

Clinique Smart Clinical Repair™ Wrinkle Correcting Serum — formulated with peptides, advanced retinoid, and hyaluronic acid to visibly reduce lines, firm skin, smooth texture, and boost radiance. A serum delivers potent actives deeper than moisturizer alone — helping skin renewal and supporting natural collagen integrity over time.

Follow with a nourishing anti-aging moisturizer to seal in serum benefits

Clinique Smart Clinical Repair™ Wrinkle Correcting Cream — helps strengthen skin and visibly repair lines and wrinkles while delivering hydration. Moisturizing after serum helps skin stay supple and supports long-term firmness — a key part of slowing the visual effects of collagen loss.

If skin is dry or prone to dehydration, choose richer hydration for barrier support

Clinique Smart Clinical Repair™ Wrinkle Correcting Rich Cream — designed for very dry to dry combination skin, this richer cream strengthens skin and visibly repairs lines and wrinkles while deeply hydrating. A strong moisture barrier helps protect existing collagen and keeps skin resilient against dryness that can accentuate fine lines.

Be consistent — use serum and moisturizer daily, plus add sun protection

The Smart Clinical Repair™ line is Clinique’s go-to for aging skin, with de-aging routines built around regular serum + moisturizer use and broad-spectrum protection to guard against environmental stressors. Consistency matters: steady care supports gradual improvement over time and helps preserve skin structure.

Maintain healthy hydration and skin-barrier habits beyond products

Dry or dehydrated skin often makes fine lines look worse. Simple habits — drinking water, protecting skin from harsh weather or dry indoor air, avoiding over-stripping cleansers — help your routine work better. If skin stays well-hydrated and barrier-protected, collagen-supportive products perform more effectively.

 

Supporting collagen and reducing fine lines isn’t about a single miracle product — it’s about building a thoughtful, consistent routine: hydrate, treat, moisturize, and protect. The Clinique Smart Clinical Repair™ line offers a science-backed approach to smoother-looking skin, follow with deep hydration from Moisture Surge.
