Clinique Take The Day Off Makeup Remover for Lids, Lashes & Lips 125ml is a dual-phase liquid remover designed to dissolve long-wear and waterproof eye and lip makeup without rubbing or stinging. The fragrance-free, non-oily formula sits in two layers in the bottle — shake before use — and lifts pigment cleanly away from the lashes, eyelid skin and lip border. It is one of Clinique's most-recommended cleansing products and has held a steady position on Boots and department-store shelves for years.

Key benefits
- Removes long-wear and waterproof makeup — including waterproof mascara, liquid eyeliner and long-wear lipsticks.
- Non-stinging, non-irritating — formulated to be safe around the delicate eye and lip area.
- 100% fragrance free — suitable for sensitive skin and contact-lens wearers.
- Dermatologist, ophthalmologist and allergy tested.
- Tugless action — dissolves makeup so it can be wiped away without rubbing the eyelashes or eyelids.
Who it's for
Take The Day Off Lids, Lashes & Lips suits all skin types, including sensitive skin and contact-lens wearers, and is particularly useful for anyone who wears waterproof mascara, liquid eyeliner, long-wear matte lipsticks or heavy stage and event makeup. It's a staple step in a double-cleanse routine, used before a regular face cleanser to break down makeup ahead of the second wash.
How to use
- Shake the bottle well to combine the two phases of the formula.
- Saturate a cotton pad with a small amount of remover.
- Press the pad gently against closed lashes for a few seconds to dissolve mascara, then sweep down and away from the eye. Repeat as needed.
- Use a fresh pad for the lip area, sweeping over the lips to lift colour cleanly.
- Follow with a regular facial cleanser to complete the cleanse.

Frequently asked questions
Why does the bottle have two layers?
The product is a dual-phase formula: a water phase and a low-viscosity oil phase. Together they dissolve both water-resistant pigments (such as waterproof mascara) and water-soluble residues. Shake the bottle each time you use it to combine the phases.
Is it safe for contact lens wearers?
Yes. The formula is fragrance free, ophthalmologist tested and designed to be non-stinging around the eye area, which makes it a popular choice for contact lens wearers. As with any eye-area product, avoid getting the remover directly in the eye.
Do I still need to follow with a face cleanser?
Yes. Take The Day Off Lids, Lashes & Lips is a targeted eye and lip remover, not a full facial cleanser. Use it as the first step of a double-cleanse, then follow with your regular Clinique cleansing balm, gel or bar to clean the rest of the face.
