Powerful Cleansing Balm
I tried the Clinique Take the Day Off Charcoal Cleansing Balm. It claims to quickly dissolve long wearing eye and face makeup. It also claims to help detoxify, reduce excess oils, and unclog pores. You simply use your fingertips to massage on dry skina¹, then simply rinse off with warm water. It als...

It's okay
I personally do not really like this cleanser, it does it's job but it almost like there's a learning curve lol. It works but it feels messy. First off I don't like that the balm goes on pigmented and makes it look like your mascara is smudged lol it's very off putting and you have to reapply it a f...

Won't buy again
I've used Clinique for over 30 years. Always love the products. However I don't like this make up remover balm. Way too greasy for my already oily skin. Feels like crisco on my face. And it smells terrible, like old used cooking oil.
Good
I really love these balm it takes off my whole full face makeup. I really recommend this product.
Better options
This product is very greasy and messy. It does clean, but there are so many other better cleansers that Clinique makes. I would not buy this again.
This product is great...if you like giant messes
I only gave this product 2 stars because it does technically remove makeup like it claims to. But everything else about it is absolutely awful. No matter how careful I am when using it, I always end up with black hair, black hands, black countertops, a black sink, a black towel. This product makes a HUGE mess and stains literally everything. It smells weird. And the charcoal doesn't actually do anything it claims to, so there's no point for it to even be in the product. I would easily put this on a list of my top 3 least favorite products of all time. The original Clinique cleansing balm without the charcoal is great though! Go for that one instead.
Love!
Clinique is THAT girl!
