Clinique Take The Day Off Cleansing Balm Makeup Remover — 6.7 oz Balm-to-Oil, Fragrance-Free, Gentle on Sensitive Eyes

This iconic cleansing balm transforms from a solid balm into a silky oil on contact, lifting away makeup, sunscreen and daily grime without stripping skin. Formulated with nourishing safflower seed oil and fewer than ten ingredients, it is fragrance-free, dermatologically tested and safe for sensitive eyes. The texture is designed to glide over skin for thorough removal while preserving moisture balance.

How quickly does this balm remove makeup and sunscreen?

The balm melts on contact and emulsifies into an oil that breaks down stubborn products in moments, speeding up your cleansing routine. It is formulated to remove heavy, long-wear pigments and typical chemical and mineral sunscreens with minimal rubbing.

• Silky balm-to-oil texture that dissolves coatings fast
• Designed for thorough removal of face and eye makeup
• Rinses clean to avoid greasy residue

Is this product suitable for sensitive skin and eyes?

Yes — Clinique developed this formula with clinical testing and no added fragrance to reduce irritation risk. Ophthalmologist-tested, it’s intended for use around the eye area and on makeup that can be hard to remove without harsh rubbing.

• Fragrance-free formulation to limit sensitivity triggers
• Allergy and dermatology testing to meet skin-safety standards
• Ophthalmologist-approved for gentle eye-area use

How do you use the balm for best results?

Warm a small amount between dry palms and massage it over dry skin to dissolve cosmetics; add water to emulsify into a milky rinse and wash away. This two-step feel helps lift away product fully while maintaining skin’s natural moisture.

• Start on dry skin with dry hands, massage until makeup dissolves
• Add a little water to emulsify, then rinse or follow with a gentle cleanser
• Works well as the first step in double-cleansing routines

What makes this Clinique balm different from other cleansers?

Its solid-to-oil format provides a concentrated, mess-minimizing texture that targets heavy makeup and SPF without excess product. With a short, purposeful ingredient list and safflower seed oil, the formulation focuses on effective removal plus skin comfort rather than fragrances or unnecessary additives.

• Minimal ingredient approach prioritizes safety and efficacy
• Contains safflower seed oil for gentle dissolving and skin feel
• Designed to rinse off fully so skin feels clean, not tight

Who this is for: Anyone seeking an efficient, dermatologist-tested makeup and sunscreen remover that is gentle enough for sensitive skin and eyes. It suits all skin types and skin tones, especially those who wear long-wear cosmetics or daily sun protection and want a simple, soothing first cleanse that preserves natural moisture.
