Clinique Take The Day Off Cleansing Balm is a cult-favourite makeup remover that melts on contact with skin to dissolve foundation, eye makeup, sunscreen and stubborn long-wear formulas in one easy step. The 125ml jar contains a silky balm that transforms into a luxurious oil — without irritating the eyes or stripping the skin.
About Clinique
Created in New York in 1968 with the guidance of dermatologist Dr Norman Orentreich, Clinique was the first dermatologist-developed prestige skincare brand. Every formula is allergy tested and 100% fragrance free, making the brand a long-standing favourite for sensitive skin and contact lens wearers.
Key ingredients
- Safflower seed oil: the hero ingredient — gently dissolves makeup, SPF and impurities.
- Caprylic/capric triglyceride: a lightweight emollient that softens the skin as it cleanses.
- Vitamin E (tocopherol): antioxidant protection against environmental stressors.
Who it's for
Suitable for all skin types, including sensitive. Especially loved by anyone who wears heavy or long-wear makeup, waterproof eye products, or daily sunscreen. As the first step of a double cleanse, it leaves the skin clean, comfortable and ready for treatment.
How to use
- Start with dry skin and dry hands.
- Scoop a small amount of balm using the spatula.
- Massage gently over the face and lips, including over eye makeup.
- Rinse thoroughly with warm water — the balm emulsifies and washes clean.
- Follow with your usual face cleanser and continue with serum and moisturiser.
