Clinique Take The Day Off Cleansing Balm

I really love this product, it’s an excellent makeup remover. I am a makeup artist and I do some quite creative stuff on myself so that means a lot of makeup, facepaint, glue, all sorts of things really.

This is my go to for my initial cleanse, it’s gentle and not irritating and does a great job of breaking down the makeup.

If you want the best makeup removal in the game this balm removes EVERYTHING!! I love its formula and how my skin feels after. Game Changer!!

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!

I recieved a mini jar of this balm in a Mecca Beauty Loop. I use this balm as a first cleanse and it's amazing! It's so soft and melts instantly into my skin. A little goes a long way and it's so nice to massage into the skin with my Luna Play from Foreo. It quickly breaks down any makeup I'm wearing and wipes off nicely with a damp, hot flannel. Leaves a residue, but thats to be expected with an oil cleanser, so a second cleanse removes that. This balm is great for me; my skin feels so good after using it! Highly recommend!

If I had to choose any cleanser for life, this would be it. It is just beautiful, it completely melts into the skin, feels soft and delicate on the skin and the amount you get is great as you only need a small amount. It doesn't have a smell and it's easily applied and spreads easily, it removes make up well and doesn't aggravate any acne. I really love this balm cleanser.

I love this product it takes my make up off so well before I cleanse. Works so well I repurchased this twice already a+++

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.

This product does ok at getting light makeup off, I found it took off the majority of my foundation and base products but getting off the mascara took a couple goes. I love cliniques packaging very simple but beautiful, the formula for me personally just wasn't strong enough I like to use a cleansing balm and then go in with a gentle cleanser but with this balm I had to use it atleast twice and sometimes a third go just to remove mascara. I do like that the formula melts over the skin and then washes off with little residue left on the skin and it doesn't have a scent so it's very gentle great for sensitive skin. For the price of the product I really don't want to have to use it more than the one time and you don't get a huge amount of product. I think that there are better cleansing balms out there for the money especially ones that you only need to use the one time to take off all makeup including mascara. I recommend using almost any of the Korean skincare balms over this one unless money is not an issue than this one is ok but not the best. I really thought this would be one of the best cleansing balm products I have tried but unfortunately it just wasn't what I look for in a balm.
