All Over Bad Product

I normally love Clinique products, but I HATE this one. The smell is AWFUL! It doesn't remove makeup, just smears it. And finally, leaves a film on face that my cleanser can't take off (nor does the cleanser get rid of the smell). So disappointed that I wasted any money on this product.

The charcoal balm melts makeup and deeply cleanses pores, leaving my skin fresh and smooth. Perfect for a thorough cleanse without stripping the skin!

I've used Clinique for over 30 years. Always love the products. However I don't like this make up remover balm. Way too greasy for my already oily skin. Feels like crisco on my face. And it smells terrible, like old used cooking oil.
Good

This product is very greasy and messy. It does clean, but there are so many other better cleansers that Clinique makes. I would not buy this again.
This product is great...if you like giant messes

I only gave this product 2 stars because it does technically remove makeup like it claims to. But everything else about it is absolutely awful. No matter how careful I am when using it, I always end up with black hair, black hands, black countertops, a black sink, a black towel. This product makes a HUGE mess and stains literally everything. It smells weird. And the charcoal doesn't actually do anything it claims to, so there's no point for it to even be in the product. I would easily put this on a list of my top 3 least favorite products of all time. The original Clinique cleansing balm without the charcoal is great though! Go for that one instead.
Love!

This charcoal containing remover works better for my super oily skin in comparison to original balm. I'm removing one star for incorrect description " for dry combination to oily skin". For dry or dry combination skin types try the original ( white) product

I loved this product initially. It feels nice on my skin and takes off a day of heavy makeup! It unfortunately also stained my bathroom counter tops. I have scrubbed them repeatedly and am left with ugly purple stains. I also had on a Samsung watch with a cream band that is permanently stained as well. Very upsetting.
A break up

I've been using this product for over a year and it has been fantastic. I have oily skin and this is the only balm I've found that works for me. I bought a new one a week ago and its not the same! I knew it was different the second I rubbed my hands together. It's really oily and very difficult to wash off completely. I used it every day to see how it affected my skin. Unfortunately it made me breakout terribly. Maybe I got a bad one? 🤷♀️ I will be returning it and I wont risk repurchasing in hopes it was a bad batch. Back to the drawing board😞
Good cleaning effect, horrible smell

I got this product as a sample. I have had good experiences with Clinique products in the past and in regards to how well it cleans off my makeup, it works well and it isn't drying. However, the product has this strong, awful rancid cooking oil smell.

This is my favorite makeup remover, and I am not on my way to trying the one without charcoal. I love this product because it eliminated the need to use wipes or cotton pads and can be simply washed off with water
Perfect for summer

It works at removing makeup like foundation and mascara but my eyes burned for hours after using and washing off. Won't be using again.
Charcoal cleansing balm!!

I usually purchase the regular Take the Day Off cleansing balm but I decided to try this one with the charcoal.. I really love the way it makes my skin feel so soft and clean! This has actually helped my pores look better and I wasn't expecting to see a real difference between the 2 cleansing balm products. I have very large pores and this product has made the pores look smaller. I wish I had of tried it earlier because I really love this product! When I put it on I rub into my skin really good and leave it for a couple minutes then rinse my splashing water on to my face and follow with the jelly cleanser. I see some people just wipe off with a dry cloth. But I have sensitive skin so I always want to make sure I get it all off. It doesn't make a mess in the sink like some charcoal cleansers do. It rinses off nicely. This is my new favorite!

I received a sample and at first thought this wouldn't be a great option for my oily skin, however, I was so excited to find out how great this product is! The container makes it easy to grab the perfect amount and a little goes a long way. I like to put it on before my shower and rub it in, allowing it to dissolve the make up. Then a few quick wipes and a pump of my oily skin liquid soap and I feel so clean and ready for my clarifying lotion 4 and my DD gel! I am really excited that this was a new offering. I'd love to see it available in a travel size more often, as I travel for work and the larger jar is a bit bulky for travel.
