Take The Day Off Cleansing Balm

I have been using this for over 10 years. I alternate between this and Trader Joe's grapeseed oil. This removes my foundation, ELDW and sunscreen. I love that it has never broken me out and I have sensitive, oily and acne prone skin. The only 2 issues I have with this product is that it doesn't remove waterproof mascara and the cost. I usually buy for 25 USD and normally when there is …Read more

Very expensive. Buy a soap, for example Cethapil or any other fragrance free brand, use a wet towel and cleans your face. Same job, not irritation for a fraction of the price. You only pay for the name. The Clinique cleansing balm works but it absolutely no benefits!

overall: 9/10

I love this cleansing balm! I just wish it weren't so expensive...it's over $50 (Australian dollars). I have repurchased a couple of times now. It removes makeup very effectively and washes clean. I do use a second cleanser but if you prefer not to, this will leave your face feeling clean enough. It doesn't feel oily or leave an oily residue on the face like …Read more

Like most of the other reviewers I use this to double cleanse with a gentle foaming cleanser. I've tried like five oils and while none of them has necessarily been bad they have all been in their liquid form so it's slightly inconvenient and I feel I lose a lot of product but since this is a solid that you just kind of liquify rubbing it between your hands are on your face there really …Read more

I’ve been double cleansing for a while now, and think it has been beneficial to my skin. In the past, I’d use whatever oil or makeup remover I had around to wipe off my eye makeup, then use a foaming cleanser to wash my face. Even when I used something to remove my eye makeup before washing, I’d still have traces of it around my eyes and my skin would feel tight and dry from stripping effects …Read more

Effective yet super gentle cleanser. I use a lot of sunscreen and have previously used two cleansers to remove it all. This takes care of it on its own, and leaves no residue. I massage it I for a minute and two, and find that it removes a lot of SF’s and clogged pores. It doesn’t leave my skin dry as other oil or balm cleansers have, and it contains no irritating ingredients. In short, it’s …Read more

One of my favourite makeup removers in my 2 step cleansing routine. I switch it off with Origins Clean Energy Gentle Cleansing Oil.
This balm is very soft and smooth. It glides on skin and I don't have to use any "force" to get rid of makeup. The smell is also pleasant to me. After makeup removal my skin feels clean, soft and supple and kind of moisturized without tacky …Read more

My HG makeup remover as part of a double cleanse.

As much as I hated the cleansing lotion, I love the balm. It takes off everything, including mascara (though some people reported stinging; I didn't) and the gooiest, sparkliest lip gloss and lipstick. It doesn't break me out, takes off every trace of makeup AND sunscreen as well as plain old fashioned dirt. Rinses off very …Read more

This is such an amazinfg makeup remover. This doesn't leave skin feeling tight and dry after use. It removes all traces of makeup, even stubborn mascara and eyeliner. Some people complain about it stinging their eyes so I would say be careful around the eye are. Tryinf not to open your eyes while this is on may help. I personally don'y have this issue. You don't need to use a lot …Read more

This is the first product I have tried from Clinque.

Price wise very expensive however you do get a lot of product in the bigger version and a little product goes a long way.

The actual product is obviously very oily. It did get off any stubborn mascara.

I would only buy the travel version again if I was going travelling because it would last me more than 2 weeks …Read more
