Take The Day Off Makeup Removing Cleansing Balm

Approx. price: $40
9.3/10
Lilyvera expert score ยท based on hands-on testing and specialist review

Take The Day Off is a balm whose name says it all: a solid texture that turns into a silky oil with the warmth of your hands, dissolving stubborn, waterproof makeup before rinsing clean. It's the first step of a double cleanse, especially at night.

Clinique's Take The Day Off cleansing balm gently lifts away the day's makeup and grime. This gentle balm turns into a silky oil on contact with skin and removes even stubborn makeup without dryness or tightness.

Our expert verdict

In our experience, this balm is deservedly iconic โ€” it lifts off even stubborn mascara without heavy rubbing, and never leaves skin tight or dry. It's flawless for dry and normal skin; our only advice is to always follow with a water-based cleanser so no oily residue lingers on pore-prone skin.

How to use

Massage a sufficient amount over dry skin in circular motions until makeup dissolves, then rinse with lukewarm water.

All skin types, especially dry and normal
