So what should we say? Clinique, _________________
Here is some context to give you an idea about what they say:
Depuis sa création dans les années 1960, Clinique, pionner de la dermatobeauté, jouit d'une notoriété à part dans l'univers des cosmétiques. A l’instar de ses produits phares, la plus francophile des marques américaines n’a pas pris une ride.
Offrir à tous une très belle peau, telle est, depuis plus de 40 ans, la mission de Clinique.
Derrière ce nom typiquement français, se cache pourtant une marque américaine née … dans un magazine ! Nous sommes en 1967. Un article paru dans Vogue USA défraie la chronique. Il est signé de la rédactrice en chef, Carol Philips.......

A tradition/legacy of skin care
Using "tradition" or perhaps "legacy" implies the same idea of years of experience in producing skin-caring products, and also has a very English flow.
Skin deep...

Laurette Tassin
: The title Histoire de peaux reminds the title of an erotic movie of the late 70's Histoires d'O, there was also "Deep throat", so ... skin deep ...

: barely a neutral - it's [vs. its!] the best so far, as long as you don't consider its common meaning (i.e. superficial, beauty is only skin dep sort of thing).

always there for your skin
| disagree |
Dieezah
: It has nothing to do with the source sentence's meaning.... Still, it's an article, in advertising there's a thing called formats... Your sentence just doesn't fit the format anymore than it does the meaning...

beauty care with a French touch

Dieezah
: I think you missed an important element here "histoires" is there to let you expect a tale about how the Brand came to be what it is.... Can"t overlook that part altogether as you do !
