Take The Day Off™ - Charcoal Cleansing Balm

Old formula was better

Used to use the old formula version of this & thought I'd revisit after having switched to DHC oil for years but I was very disappointed. The colour stained my hands, the charcoal aggravated my skin especially the eyes & hasn't got a pleasant smell to it. I couldn't even use this as a body wash to use up as it was extremely drying. Had to dispose of it after only 3 uses.

Bought by mistake!

I bought this for my holiday but on arriving opened it up to see it was black, So anyway I tried it didn't like it at all face was black hands were black cleansing cloth was black it went under my nails won't by again. So next day on holiday I had to go and by some of the clear balm. Should make container different from the other balm as I think a lot of buyers will pick it up by mistake.

Take The Day Offô Charcoal Cleansing Barm

Been a user of the original balm ( love it to) for years but decided to swap to this and OMG i love it! Absolutely perfect for my oily skin, its very strange to start with a black balm , yes i agree. Now i use grey washcloths to remove it as i think if you use whites it can stain, dont fund it doesn't makes a big mess as i read some reviews saying, Highly recommend this balm for oilier skin-types

Waste of money

Broke me out. Clogged my pores and BARELY took off makeup, had to use it twice to get all mascara off.

Charcoal is a bug, no a feature

I guess that the Take The Day Off range of product can't do an absolute wrong even when they try; and Clinique really tried with this one. Imagine the luxurious experience of removing makeup with the original cleansing balm being literally tainted by charcoal. My face was black, my sync was black, my washcloth was black. And my face also stinks like charcoal. Was it efficient at removing makeup? Absolutely yes. If I had another complaint it was that it left my skin slightly dry; which for someone with more oily skin than me might be a benefit.

Nope nope, this was a HG product but this formula isn't it, I spent way to long rubbing this in to still have residue mascara, sadly. Your $ are better spent on Elf HH melting balm which actually takes away everything.

Won’t come off!

I always use oil or balm to remove my makeup. This is probably the worst one I’ve ever try. It won’t emulsify well so you need to spend a lot of time removing it. It went straight to the trash after 2 uses.

Elsker den originale, skulle derfor prøve den her

Jeg er personlig virkelig stor fan af Take The Day Off balm. Kan personligt også lide den her version. Det eneste dårligt ved produktet er at farven smitter af på håndklædet, hvis man ikke lige får alt af.

Really takes the day off

I like this product because a little goes a long way. A tiny scoop on the tip of my finger is enough to take off a full face (foundation, concealer, blush, bronzer, etc). Even though I have sensitive skin, it never dries me out. You have to use a cleanser after though, but it’s okay!

I used to love the original. and then they changed the formula. I would still buy because I still liked it. but I think they changed it again. because it feels different. and it takes longer to wash off. and it irritates my skin all of a sudden when it never did. Sadly I won't buy it anymore.

Good price, good product. Very good for mix skin. This brand is very good!

Bring back the original!!!

No where near as good as the original. I feel it doesn’t clean as well and I end up using more product.
