Clinique Take The Day Off Makeup Remover For Lids, Lashes & Lips Review

I got a bottle of this as a gift with purchase a while ago now and I have to say its possibly the best lip/eye makeup remover I've ever tried - that's a big call to make!

I use this in conjunction with Clinique's Take the Day off balm and in my opinion its the perfect combination! I love the simple but pretty purple and silver packaging, it does the job and looks nice.

This remover doesn't have any detectable fragrance like most Clinique skincare products, which I love, especially in eye/lip products! I feel that heavily scented products aren't very good for my face, let alone sensitive areas like eyes and lips.

You only need to use a small amount of this stuff on a cotton round and its super efficient! I find mascara and eyeliner come off without having to scrub at my eyes which is great. I like to hold the wet pad to my eye for a few moments to let the product work, then sweep it off.

As others have mentioned, it does tend to leave an oily film but for an oil type remover I'd be surprised if it didn't! Also, this doesn't bother me in the slightest as I always wash my face after removing makeup anyway.

It is fairly pricey but if you have trouble removing eyelash glue, waterproof eyelashes, eyeliner or have sensitive eyes then I recommend this product!! It does everything it claims, which is amazing!

I first received this as a GWP from Clinique and didn't expect to love it as much as I did. The packaging is a practical bottle but the purple plastic gives it a hint of simplistic style which Clinique favours in it's packaging.

The formula itself is an oil-like liquid with little noticeable smell, which I prefer in a makeup remover. I applied a tiny bit of this to a cotton pad and found it worked really well at removing my eye makeup, even waterproof mascara without having to rub at it like some I have tried. It does leave a slight oily film on the skin, but as I always use a cleanser after this to clean my skin properly this never bothered me.

It is a little more than some makeup removers but for how well it performs and how long the product lasts, in my opinion it's worth it, especially if you have easily irritated skin or eyes.

I've been using this for years and it's the best one I have ever used, and I've tried a few. It even takes off waterproof mascara in a jiffy, no dragging or rubbing. It leaves a bit of an oily film but that's easy to remove with cleanser once you've taken off your eye make up. There is little or no fragrance and I've not noticed any eye irritation at all and I do get that with some other products. The bottle is a good size, easy to open and lasts for months so very affordable. Great product.

Love love this product!! In the past I've had problems with eye make up removers irritating my skin or burning my eyes and this does neither! More of an oil rather than a cream, so only need a tiny amount (and lasts for ages as long as you don't spill the bottle :P ) Can leave my skin with a greasy feel which I normally hate, but I use this at night so don't mind as much. Also has next to no fragrance/taste so very appropriate for eyes and lips!
