Clinique Take The Day Off Cleansing Balm 125ml / 3.8oz.

Clinique Take The Day Off Cleansing Balm is a silky, solid balm cleanser designed to be the first step in an evening skincare routine. On contact with dry skin it melts into a light oil that works to dissolve long-wearing make-up, sunscreen and daily impurities, including around the delicate eye area. The fragrance-free formula is suitable for all skin types, including sensitive, and is created with a short ingredient list featuring safflower seed oil to help break down oil-based products while supporting skin’s natural moisture balance.

This cleansing balm is ideal for anyone who enjoys the comfort of a balm texture but wants a clean, fresh finish with no greasy residue. Skin is left feeling soft, comfortable and thoroughly cleansed, ready for a second cleanse or the rest of a skincare routine. Use it whenever make-up or SPF needs to be removed to help keep pores clear and maintain a smooth, healthy-looking complexion.

How to use
How to Use:
Start with dry hands and a dry face. Scoop a small amount of balm from the jar. Massage over dry skin, including over make-up and SPF, using gentle circular motions. Add a little warm water to emulsify, then rinse thoroughly and pat the skin dry. Follow with your chosen water-based cleanser, then apply eye cream, serum and moisturiser.

Frequency:
Use as needed whenever removing make-up, SPF or daily impurities, according to the product instructions.

Application Technique:
Apply a small amount and take time to massage the balm over the entire face, including the eye area if removing eye make-up. Work from the centre of the face outwards, then add water to help the balm turn milky before rinsing away.

Best Practices:
Use as the first step in an evening double cleanse, especially after wearing long-wear make-up or sunscreen. Avoid using too much product; a small amount is usually sufficient. Always follow with a gentle cleanser to complete the routine.

Safety Tips:
For external use only. Avoid direct contact with the eyes; if contact occurs, rinse well with water. Discontinue use if irritation occurs and keep out of reach of children. Always follow any additional guidance on the packaging.
