Clinique
In 1968, Orentreich cowrote an article in '' Vogue'' with Carol Philips titled ''Can Great Skin Be Created?'' In August of that year,Dr Norman Orentreich holds that human skin is intuitively capable of renewing itself, although this capability weakens with the passage of age and environmental conditions. He believes that great skin can be created if the secrets of the natural skin development are unlocked.
This is reflected in the success of Clinique's custom-fit 3-Step Skin Care System, which entails taking three minutes of your time, twice a day, to cleanse with Facial Soap, exfoliate with Clarifying Lotion and moisturise with Dramatically Different Moisturising Lotion. All three steps are intricately linked to promote the self-renewing capability of your skin and to make your skin radiate at all times as it should be.Today, Clinique is the crown jewel of the Estee Lauder brand. The ''New York Times'' reported in March 2011, "Last year, Clinique was the best-selling skin-care brand in United States department stores, according to the NPD Group, a market research firm that tracks such sales; the Estée Lauder brand came in second." Two of Orentreich's children, Dr. David Orentreich and Dr. Catherine Orentreich, work with Clinique as the brand's "Guiding Dermatologists".
The Orentreich Foundation for the Advancement of Science
In 1961, Orentreich founded the Orentreich Foundation for the Advancement of Science (OFAS), a biomedical research organization. OFAS has done work on aging, cancer and dermatology. Beginning in 1964, a group of members of the Kaiser Permanente integrated care delivery system in the northern California region participated in a program conducted by Kaiser Permanente that involved broad-spectrum physical examinations, including blood testing. Kaiser Permanente continued to maintain a portion of the blood serum specimens for use in future health research. Starting in 1980 and continuing until 2012, OFAS contributed the resources and services that were required to retain and maintain the KP-OFAS Serum Repository. In particular, OFAS validated the chemical integrity of the retained serum and catalogued the specimens and their coded data in a computer database so they could be retrieved efficiently and used productively in health research studies. In celebration of the bicentennial of the United States, the Orentreich foundation was called upon to study hairs belonging to PresidentExternal links
