    This product has never let me down

    I have bought this product over a million times, yes it is a little pricey but it is so worth it. Once you are done with your day and your whole day makeup face this is the easiest thing to use. You take a sufficient amount rub between your hands and rub it on your face and your makeup legitimately melts away.

    Had a skin reaction

    As a premium product, i expected alot more from it. It went on nice. Silky and absorbed into the skin but after a few days use, i started getting spots and hadn't used anything else. It would work great for most people but gave me a reaction so i would not use again.

    Great suds free makeup remover

    I got to sample this product from Sephora. The sample lasted for 4? face cleanings. This product is much different than other makeup removers I've used. It definitely melted off my mascara.... When I looked up into mirror, I looked like a raccoon but it rinsed all of well. After my skin felt clean and normal. It is an innovative product. I liked how it worked. A no suds remover. You apply it to dry skin and rub all over then rinse

    Effective yet gentle

    Absolutely love this to take off my makeup everyday! Love that this is a balm because its extremely easy to travel with. Despite having very sensitive skin, this does not break me out but takes off even my heavy makeup. I do double cleanse so I use this to melt off my makeup and my cleanser for a deep clean. A little goes a long way and highly recommend this!

    very effective makeup remover

    i love using this balm to take off my makeup at the end of the day. You have to use it on dry skin (not wet) and you can massage it all over the face including the eyes. It literally melts everything away, and then you can add some water to massage some more and to lift it all off and rinse it completely at the end. You can follow up after with your regular cleanser. Leaves skin clean and very comfortable with no feeling of tightness at all. Love it.

    Works well

    Ive tried the sample of this and it works well for getting off face makeup but not mascara. I recommend to use a cleanser after this product to get every thing off. Although it works well the only downside is it gets messy easily.

    Great Alternative of Cleansing Oil

    I use it from time to time when I don't' feel like using cleansing oil. It does a great job of removing my daily makeup. It takes off my waterproof mascara and waterproof eyeliner effectively. It doesn't have any fragrance but it does smell a little bit like Vaseline, which doesn't bother me. It does feel a bit too oily when it melts in your hands and face, and you still feel a bit of oily residue on face after washing it off with water. I personally uses double cleansing method in my routine, so it doesn't bother me. It is easy to travel with since it's in a solid form. It's a good product that I may purchase again when it's on sale.

    Not worth it...

    I don't find this product works very well... it moisturizes my skin to an extent. It suggests taking the day off but most of my make up is around my eyes and I don't feel like I can put this products around my eyes.

    I’m a huge long time fan of Clinique, especially their skin care products and this Take the Day Off balm cleanser is my absolute holy grail of any cleanser I’ve tried to this day. Big claim but it absolutely lives up to everything you read about it online and in magazines. Every claim it makes, to remove all makeup at the end of the day and leave you soft, and hydrated and glowing, is true. It works. It removes your whole day and leaves you fresh, renewed, like a new, blank canvas, ready for whatever life throws at you. I bought the mini size first, just in case I wasn’t happy with it and didn’t have to commit to the full sized version. Well my fears were put right to the side, I loved it from the very first time I used it. The texture was beautifully soft, creamy and buttery and it melted into an oil as I massaged it over my face and neck area. Makeup was melted away, gone like it had never been there at all. A tiny bit was all I needed for my whole face and neck and décolletage and a full face of makeup. I then removed it all, makeup, dirt and oil with a damp face halo and I was left with smooth, hydrated, and glowing, fresh skin. I didn’t even need a second cleanse as everything had been removed with that little amount of buttery balm cleanser. I soon used all of that small pot and immediately bought the full size version which lasted me a good six months or more, it’s still not finished and when it is, you can bet I’ll be buying yet another pot of this amazing balm cleanser that beats every other balm cleanser and any type of cleanser out there.

    Wow wow wow

    I wear heavy make up every day and have never had a problem with getting anything off with this, gentle enough to be used on eyes! The perfect one stop shop
