Take The Day Off™ Cleansing Balm is our signature makeup remover that quickly dissolves long-wearing makeup, SPF, and pollutants. It unclogs pores and deeply cleanses skin of impurities without stripping skin, leaving your complexion clean, soft, and healthy-looking while maintaining its natural moisture balance. It transforms from a solid balm into a silky oil upon application.

Use this cleansing balm anytime you want to remove makeup, sunscreen, or environmental debris — especially at the end of the day. Going to bed with makeup on can lead to dullness, irritation, and clogged pores, so letting your skin take the day off with this balm helps you start fresh.

Here’s how to use it. With dry skin and dry hands, scoop a small amount and massage it over your face. As you work it in, the solid balm melts into a silky oil that dissolves makeup, SPF, and pollutants. Then rinse thoroughly.

The formula includes safflower seed oil (Carthamus Tinctorius (Safflower) Seed Oil) which helps break up natural oils on skin and dissolves hard-to-remove makeup

Absolutely. Take The Day Off™ Cleansing Balm is gentle enough for all skin types — including sensitive skin and sensitive eyes. It helps purify without stripping, leaving skin soft and healthy-looking.

After using Take The Day Off™ Cleansing Balm, you can follow with your favorite Clinique cleanser to complete your skincare routine and ensure your skin is thoroughly cleaned and prepped for treatment or hydration.
