Clinique is launching another makeup remover to join its successful lineup: the Take The Day Off™ Balm Cleansing Charcoal. This makeup remover balm, gentle yet effective, now features a pure charcoal formula for powerful and deep cleansing, effectively removing excess oil, makeup, and dirt.
When used, it transforms from a solid balm to a velvety oil, and upon contact with water, it becomes a luxurious emulsion that dissolves stubborn makeup from the face and eyes. It effortlessly removes strong shimmer eyeshadows, waterproof mascara, and the most long-lasting lipsticks, without the need for harsh scrubbing. The emulsion rinses off easily, does not dry out the skin, and leaves no oily residue.
The new Charcoal Balm in a lightweight formula of Kishu Bincho-tan, finely ground pure Japanese charcoal, combines the benefits of the Take the Day Off Cleansing Balm with an indulgent blend of nourishing ingredients, including safflower seed oil rich in linoleic acid and vitamin E. This deeply and thoroughly cleanses the skin, leaving it clean and refreshed.
How It WorksRemoves Makeup and Dirt: Unlike liquid oil, this formula forms an exceptional bond with the skin due to its structurally dense and solid oils. This allows for effective yet gentle removal of long-lasting face and eye makeup. The unique micro-crystalline structure of layered solid oils turns into silky oil when gentle pressure is applied during use. This unique and transformative texture quickly dissolves long-lasting face and eye makeup, sunscreen, and pollution without drying the skin.
Detoxifies Pores: Japanese charcoal in the Kishu Bincho-tan formula helps in deep cleansing and unclogging pores from dirt.
Nourishes: An indulgent blend of safflower seed oil (rich in linoleic acid) and vitamin E provides a nourishing feel to the skin during the cleansing process.
Instructions for UseTake a coin-sized amount of balm in your hands, avoiding wetting the product or hands before use. Use your fingertips to massage the balm onto dry face and eyes.
