Clinique Take The Day Off Cleansing Balm

Ive been hooked on this product for at least the last 2 years. It is amazing!! I hate any trace of makeup left on my skin at night, I use this in the shower and it removes everything with ease. I can get sensitive skin but Clinique products never cause my any issues. No more tugging my eyes with the facecloth to remove my long wear makeup. Its expensive but lasts ages, and Im happy to pay that when something works!!

I absolutely LOVE this product! With it, you are able to remove a full face of make up in no time, with only a small amount of product. The balm is a bit pricey, but a little goes a long way, so its very much worth it. This feels much nicer on the skin than face wipes or other liquid removers. Like a mini spa treatment!

This product certainly lives up to it's claims. It really does transform quickly from it's solid balm state to a silky fluid. It glides onto the skin & a little goes a long way, which is just as well as it comes with a "luxury" price tag. (my pottle was $64 not the $55 RRP; I guess I should've shopped around) Never the less this product is worth it's weight in gold as it effortlessly removes all makeup & doesn't leave the skin feeling greasy afterwards. It has a very mild scent & the packaging is classy. Clinique has come up with another winner in my books. It has been added to my wish list for when I run out.

I had to try it to believe it. This stuff is legendary. I first heard about pre-cleansing balms from Caroline Hirons, UK beauty guru. I gave this a go as we can't get Liz Earle PreCleansing Balm here in NZ (which is what Caroline recommends). I rubbed this lard like substance all over my face and on my eyes. Everything came off - and I wear a full face all day, including waterproof mascara. I'm astonished. No more makeup wipes/makeup remover/cotton pads. This stuff takes the whole lot off, so when I move onto cleansing, I'm ready to go. My skin is the best it's been in years, in part, I know, to this product (I follow up with Cetaphil Cleanser FYI, which I also swear by!). I will never be without this product.

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!

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.

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!

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!

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 :)
