Product details

Clinique Take The Day Off Cleansing Balm is a lightweight solid-to-oil makeup remover that melts away long-wear face and eye makeup plus sunscreen in one gentle step.

This travel-size, 1-ounce jar contains Clinique’s cult-favorite balm that transforms from a silky solid into an oil when massaged into skin. Formulated with safflower seed oil and designed for all skin types, it dissolves tenacious long-wear foundation, waterproof eye makeup, and hybrid sunscreens while rinsing clean without a greasy residue.

How does this balm remove stubborn makeup and sunscreen?

The balm’s balm-to-oil texture breaks down oil-based pigments and sunscreen filters as you massage it into dry skin. It lifts away dirt, foundation, and SPF without aggressive rubbing, letting you remove makeup quickly and evenly.

  • Transforms from a solid balm into a silky oil on contact
  • Safflower seed oil helps dissolve oil-based products and residues
  • Clinically tested to remove over 95% of longwear face makeup, sunscreen, and pollutants*

Will this work around my eyes and with sensitive skin?

Yes. The formula is ophthalmologist-tested and free of added fragrance, so it’s suitable for sensitive eyes and skin when used as directed. It gently loosens waterproof mascara and liner without stinging.

  • Ophthalmologist-tested and safe for sensitive eyes
  • 100% fragrance-free and dermatologist-guided formulation
  • Rinses off completely to avoid residue that can irritate

How do I use the cleansing balm for best results?

Use on dry skin: scoop a small amount, massage over face and eyes to melt makeup, then add water to emulsify and rinse thoroughly. For heavier or waterproof makeup, repeat or follow with a gentle second cleanse if desired.

  • Apply to dry skin and massage to dissolve makeup and sunscreen
  • Add water to emulsify into a milky rinse and wash away
  • Suitable as step one in a double-cleanse routine for deeper removal

What are the key ingredients and skin benefits?

The formula features safflower seed oil, rich in linoleic acid, which helps break up natural oils and makeup while leaving skin feeling softened. Clinique’s science-based approach ensures the balm cleans thoroughly without stripping, supporting a comfortable post-cleanse feel.

  • Safflower seed oil: dissolves makeup and helps condition skin
  • Lightweight emollients: provide a silky texture and easy rinsing
  • Allergy tested and suitable for a range of skin concerns

Who is this for? Clinique Take The Day Off Cleansing Balm in the 1-ounce size is ideal for anyone who wants a compact, effective makeup remover: travelers, makeup fans who wear long-wear or waterproof products, and anyone with sensitive eyes or skin seeking a gentle, fragrance-free first cleanse. Use it alone for quick removal or as the first step in a double-cleanse to ensure a thoroughly clean, comfortable finish.

*Average removal measured on longwear foundation, hybrid sunscreen, and carbon powder.
