Take the Day Off^™ Cleansing Balm Makeup Remover

What it is: Clinique's iconic makeup remover in a silky balm formula that gently dissolves makeup and SPF while conditioning lashes.

Who it's for: Ideal for all skin types, including sensitive.

What it does: The fan-favorite makeup remover quickly dissolves long-wearing face makeup, tenacious waterproof eye makeup, sunscreens and pollutants. The nongreasy, nondrying formula unclogs pores and deeply cleanses skin of impurities without stripping the skin. It even helps condition and nourish lashes and brows. The balm leaves skin clean, soft and healthy-looking while maintaining a natural moisture balance. It features a minimal formula made of fewer than 10 ingredients.

Key ingredients:

- Safflower seed oil: works efficiently to help break up natural oil found on skin, as well as dissolving hard-to-remove makeup

- Linoleic acid: a natural emollient that helps leave skin, lashes and brows nourished

How to use: Use this makeup remover balm before other cleansers and treatment products. Massage cleansing balm over dry skin with dry fingertips. Rinse well with warm water. Pat dry. Follow with cleanser, then apply eye cream, serum and moisturizer.

Pro tips: No matter how late it is or how tired you are, remove your makeup. Going to bed with makeup on can lead to dullness, irritation and clogged pores. Clinique’s Take The Day Off formulas work gently, effectively. How will you take the day off?
