Clinique Take The Day Off Cleansing Balm

This is another gem from Clinique. It takes off all your makeup, even stubborn mascara. To use it I scrape a small amount out, and rub it between my fingers to warm it up before spreading it over my eyes and working it in to the skin. It takes everything off, no fuss, and doesn't require excessive rubbing or pulling of the delicate eye area.

It's fragrance free so doesn't irritate your eyes.

Update: I have had this now for nearly two years and still half well over half left. The best value makeup remover on the market.

It is expensive for makeup remover ($64 at Farmers) but lasts for absolutely ages and works better than any other brand I have tried.

I adore this cleansing balm. You warm a little in your hands, massage it into your face and it takes all the makeup off quickly, easily with a minimum of fuss. The product isn't overly scented and doesn't irritate my eyes at all. This product irritates less than some specific eye makeup removers I have used. This is not cheap but does seem worth the price. I will probably repurchase.

This make up removing balm is honestly amazing. The consistency is obviously a balm, but when you warm it up by rubbing it between your fingers it turns into an oil. You just rub it onto the area and it gets everything off, just rinse or wipe the area with a wet cloth and it's all gone. So clean, and it doesn't sting when you open your eyes. I haven't noticed a smell or anything. Because it turns into an oil, it means that a little goes a very long way. This product will last a super long time, and it gets off even the most stubborn mascara. I even got foundation and bright red lip stain on white top, and I tried everything to get it out. The only thing that really worked, was this make up remover. It literally pulled it right out and you can't even tell there was anything on it. It may seem a bit pricey, but it will last such a long time, and it works 10x better than any other make up remover I've tried. So I think it's definitely worth it. The packaging makes it seem luxurious and fancy. It looks so clean and pretty. It doesn't dry out your skin and it feels very soft, and I think it would be fine on anyone with sensitive skin.

I absolutely LOVE this stuff.

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!

This truly does what it says it will, it takes off all of your makeup really well and emulsifies as you remove your makeup. However, mine began to smell really bad after about 3 months. I contacted Clinique and they replaced it free of charge which was really sweet! I haven't used my new container just yet as I'm using up another cleansing oil right now, I'll edit this review once I have :)

I am a very very picky consumer. I like to try all the new, bright, pretty products and am a sucker for lovely packaging but I am also easy to disappoint. I rarely repurchase unless the product proves itself and beyond. This cleansing balm from Clinique definitely lives up to its name.

The container is attractive and study, inside is a dense white solid oil which is in my opinion 'white gold'. Scoop out a tiny put to cover one finger tip (or two if you have particularly stubborn makeup) and rub onto your face concentrating on waterproof mascara etc. At this stage it will appear quite oily.

Run the warm water, wet your hands and rub onto your face and this products magically transforms into a creamy texture. Rinse face, use a face towel to dry and you will notice that your makeup is gone and your skin feels neither stripped of moisture or tight... Instead it should feel soft and clean.

I love this stuff, it is so gentle and even if you do get in your eyes it is easy to wash off and does not sting. I have repurchased this twice and though pricey, it is well worth it and the tub is huge!

My makeup seems to be all gone if I pair this with a cleanser afterwards as well. Sometimes my foundation or eye makeup won't come off with this (but Vaseline seems to work). One time I think I had a primer on and there was a weird reaction where my face had a crazy layer of oil on which wouldn't come off... I'm not sure what happened. Anyway, generally this does the job pretty well!

This is hands down the BEST makeup remover out there. I would never go back to using anything else. It is worth its weight in gold. It removes everything, I wear a full face of make up including waterproof mascara everyday and its off in seconds.

I believe you can't go back to any other makeup remover or method after this. It so so good. Takes off all makeup including waterproof stuff in one go. Clinique products are so worth that huge price tag. This one leaves my skin lovely, no dryness, no residue, no greasy feeling! How perfect can something be? I'll happily purchase it all my life!
