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 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.

For years I have struggled with finding cleansers that ACTUALLY remove makeup. I usually wear very heavy makeup to work every day and this is the only thing that will actually take everything off. I have dry skin and when the balm is rinsed off my skin feels slightly hydrated. I love how it goes from an oil to a milk and I never have to double dip, use hard pressure or activate my skin to make it work. A little goes a very long way with this balm so use sparingly. It has no smell which i find pleasant aswell. Great for waterproof makeup!

This is my all time favourite make up remover. It feels amazing on the skin, isnt aggressive or harsh and you can see the make up being removed as you massage it in. Oh yes. A face massage as you remove your make up. It is DIVINE! It removes eye make up well without irritation either. My only gripe is the price point. $65 is a lot of money for a make up remover and I find it difficult to part with that kind of cash for a pottle.

I got a small size of this in a Mecca loop box a while back now, and instantly loved it. I've bought every size, and will buy it for a long time to come.

This is a perfect first step cleanser for my skin (normal, tends oily sometimes depending on weather, hormones).

It's a balm cleanser, so you take a small amount and liquify it in your hands, then massage in to your face. I remove it with a hot facecloth, which i find clears away all the residue along with my makeup.

This cleanser melts off all my makeup gently and within seconds, and leaves my skin feeling gorgeous - it's not at all stripping or harshly chemically.

It's non scented, and comes in a gorgeous purple jar with silver lid. I buy the mini ones for travel and the largest size for in the bathroom at home, and absolutely love it.

HIGHLY recommended.

Amazing product - purchased for myself, but let my daughter use it and now it is gone forever! That said, it is amazing for her skin, and two of our homestays now use it too - they love it. Not the cheapest, but worth it's weight in gold.

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!!
