Clinique Take The Day Off Cleansing Balm Makeup Remover, 6.7 oz — balm-to-oil, fragrance-free removal for all skin types

Clinique Take The Day Off Cleansing Balm is a silky balm-to-oil cleanser that dissolves long-wear makeup, sunscreen, and pollutants, rinsing away clean without leaving residue.

Designed as a simple, effective step in your evening routine, this cult-favorite cleansing balm melts onto skin to lift away makeup while preserving natural moisture. The lightweight formula contains safflower seed oil and fewer than ten ingredients, and is allergy-, dermatologist-, and ophthalmologist-tested for use on all skin types and sensitive eyes. It converts from a solid balm into a smooth oil on contact, making removal fast and tactilely pleasing.

How does this balm remove stubborn makeup and sunscreen?

The balm’s concentrated oils break down silicone- and pigment-heavy formulas without harsh rubbing. As it warms on skin it loosens makeup and SPF, allowing you to emulsify and rinse away debris cleanly. This action helps remove face and eye products gently yet effectively.

• Transforms from balm to oil for targeted dissolving power
• Safflower seed oil helps lift long-wear pigments and sunscreens
• Rinses off fully when emulsified with water—no greasy film

Is this product safe for sensitive skin and eyes?

Clinique designed this formula to minimize irritation: it’s fragrance-free, allergy tested, and reviewed by dermatologists and ophthalmologists. That makes it suitable for users who need gentler options, including those who wear contact lenses or rely on delicate eye makeup removal. Still, patch testing a new product is recommended if you have a history of reactions.

• Fragrance-free and allergy tested for lower irritation risk
• Ophthalmologist-reviewed for safe eye-area use
• Formulated for all skin types, including sensitive skin

How do I use the balm for best results?

Use on dry skin: scoop a small amount, massage across face and eyes to dissolve makeup, then add water to turn the oil milky and rinse thoroughly. For heavy or waterproof makeup, repeat the massage step before emulsifying. Follow with your preferred cleanser if you double-cleanse.

• Apply to dry skin and massage to dissolve products
• Add water to emulsify, then rinse until clean
• Works well as the first step in a double-cleanse routine

What texture and scent can I expect?

The balm has a luxurious, silky texture that glides easily and transforms into an oil when warmed by touch. It is fully fragrance-free, so you won’t find added scents; instead you’ll notice a neutral, skin-first formulation focused on performance and comfort.

• Silky balm that becomes a smooth cleansing oil
• No added fragrance—minimal sensory profile
• Lightweight feel that rinses clean without stickiness

Who this is for: Anyone seeking a dependable, easy-to-use makeup remover that handles long-wear cosmetics and sunscreens without harsh scrubbing. It’s ideal for people who prefer fragrance-free skincare, those with sensitive eyes, and anyone who values a quick, effective first cleanse. Whether you wear heavy eye makeup, daily SPF, or light coverage, this balm provides a gentle way to clear the day’s buildup while leaving skin feeling soft and balanced.
