My General Review:
Is there aTake the day off product that isn’t mismarketed?
This was marketed for All Skin Types, just like the Balm version. Once I tried the balm version, I knew that the Oil won’t work for me unless I’m oily. And I am, now
Not oily, actually. More moist, compared to the usual uber-dry stint. More like normal/combo skin. That’s why I got the Oil version to try.
Unfortunately, same result with the Cleansing Balm. Only this time my skin was not as dehydrated, simply because I have enough surface oil to compensate the dryness caused by the Cleansing Oil
What’s intriguing is, it didn’t take my Majolica Majorca Lash Expander Frame Plus Mascara properly :/ There’s still a little bit of mascara residue in my lashes. Weird! Can it be that it’s not as clean as the Cleansing Balm version?
Application:
- Apply cleansing oil to dry face with dry hands.
- Massage it in until you see your makeup melted off.
- Splash with a bit of water, and continue massaging. The oil will be emulsified into milky lotion.
- Rinse until water runs clear.
Availability:
Indonesia has ceased to import this, I think. So I don’t know about the price. It’s available online like in StrawberryNET.com
Price:
US for 200ml at StrawberryNET.com.
What Else You Need To Know:
Other than fulfilling the standard fragrance-free policy in Clinique, it’s also paraben-free and mineral-oil free!
If you think Cleansing Oil is messy, and you have oily/very oily skin, try out Clinique Take The Day Off Cleansing Balm. It basically is a solid cleansing oil.
Ingredients:
Cetyl Ehtylhexanoate, Triethylhexanoin, PEG-20 Glyceryl Triisostearate, Polybutene, PEG-8 Diisostearate, PEG-12 Diisostearate, PPG-15 Stearyl Ether, Water\Aqua\Eau, Tocopheryl Acetate, Glycerin, Anthemis Nobilis (Chamomile), Caprylyl Glycol, Glyceryl Laurate, BHT [ILN29144]
Overall Rating:
4 out of 5. Nice texture for combination/oily skin, but it’s not that effective to remove very tenacious waterproof mascara on me.
If you have drier skin, approach with caution. The Cleaning Milk may be more suitable for drier skin.
