Clinique Take The Day Off Cleansing Balm

I normally prefer cleansing oils but after seeing the reviews I thought I’d try this balm out. It feels lovely and soft in the hands and easily removes all my makeup with just a little bit of elbow grease. I use a warm face cloth to remove the residue (and broken down makeup) and my skin feels clean and fresh afterwards. The only thing I’m not a huge fan of is how messy it is to use. I have always applied my cleansing oils to a face cloth but found this works better with the hands. Then I seem to get the balm everywhere when trying to rinse it off. I really enjoy this product so do think I’ll buy it again but I definitely need more practice with it at this stage.

So after reading al the reviews and seeing what the bottel looks like i realised i have one that my mom gave my a while ago.

So i put it on my face and rubed and rubed and my makeup just went every where. Its the first time i tried something like this normaly i wpuld juat use a cleanser. So after usimg a wet face cloth to take it of o was stuned to see that all my make up is off. My eyes where ithy after using it but i really liked it.

I used my cleanser after taking it off and my skin felt softer than it normaly does. Its a nice produckt. Its one of a kind for me i will be using it again. And i disnt need al lot so this wil last me for a long time

I picked up this product and was given a travel pot to go with it. So handy to have a travel sized product. Have been using balm cleansers for the past year or so, and trying a few out. Was recommended this by a store salesperson as a great balm to use.

It has a packed coconut oil look to the product, and almost a similar feel as solidified coconut oil. As you apply product to your fingertips, it starts to melt away, and is very easy to smooth on your face. It melts make up off very easily.

The texture isn't my favourite though, it has a heavy feel to the skin, and almost feels like it's coating my face even after wiping away. I do second cleanse, so the feeling doesn't last long, but when comparing it to other balms, this wasn't my favourite texture.

It does the job well though, and easy to find (department stores and duty free).

I received this in my Mecca loop box recently and couldn't wait to try it! I love balm cleansers and usually go for the heavy types that need a face cloth to remove them, rather than those that emulsify. Whilst this one does emulsify, it is still satisfying to remove with a flannel. It melts quickly into the skin and once removed it leaves you with clean, smooth and supple skin. This was a pleasant surprise as other Clinique cleansers leave my skin feeling stripped. My tiny 15ml pot lasted me a good ten applications as you only need a small amount (less is definitely more with all balm cleansers!) so this probably works out good value if you buy the bigger tub. I don't know if I will be able to bring myself to buy it though. I kind of find it wasteful to spend a lot of money on cleanser when you rinse it off (plus I still go in with a second cleanser after this). I may well still be tempted though.....

I recently picked this up whilst I was out makeup shopping and the checkout assistant said it was absolutely amazing even on waterproof makeup so I was super excited to try it.

This stuff literally melts away all your makeup in seconds, and it is super easy to wipe away. It does feel a bit heavy so I do recommend double cleansing with your favourite cleanser so it doesn’t clog your pores.

Although this balm is amazing at melting away your face makeup, I found that it was pretty average at removing eye makeup, e.g mascara, so I would recommend removing it separately with a different cleanser.

I love to use this to melt my makeup off and then hop into the shower to wash it off. It really does melt everything off and I wear a lot of makeup. However I do find it makes my eyes a little blurry for a minute or so after using on my eyes though. Not painful at all, just a bit fuzzy vision. Great makeup remover!

This is extremely effective at removing make up and performance wise there is nothing like it.

However it's boring... There's no fragrance which is very Clinique and probably best for your skin but I love the experience of fragrance. I also think it's a little unsanitary digging fingers into a balm but that's okay.

However it needs better instructions as there's nothing on product itself and I had to Google to find out how to use effectively. Ie you use on a dry face and hands before using any water.

I heard about this balm online and wanted to try integrating it into my skincare regime as a double cleansing balm - it is great! Takes off all my makeup and leaves my skin clean and ready to be cleansed for the evening. Love the smell and the feel, the massive container means it feels like it's going to last forever!

I got given just over half a tub of this by my BFF who had no room in her luggage going home (Waaaaaaahhhhh!!!) and you can guess that if she was jettisoning this, it's a large tub!

First off, this stuff removes ALL the makeup. I have oily skin but I have no hesitation in using this balm that turns into an oil-esk substance on the skin. Just the tiniest amount is required.

It doesn't leave a residue. It does remove estee lauder double wear. It does remove stubborn makeup. I will cry when I finally get to the bottom of what I have because it means I'll have to buy my own, but it just does such an amazing job, I need this in my life.
