Q: Is this considered a liquid by TSA? Carry on limit is 3.4oz so just wondering if I can travel with the 3.8oz or not.

Works great.
I have very sensitive skin and almost everything makes my face break out but this stuff doesn't. It's so sensitive there is literally 1 moisturizer I can uses that my face doesn't have a reaction to. I leave it in the shower and when I shower at night I use it to remove my makeup and then wash my face. I have been using this stuff for years and nothing compares to it.

Literally take the day off!
Ive been using this product for a long time. I use waterproof mascara and this product takes everything off. You have to apply the product on your face without water at first, thats how you will get rid of the makeup and after rubbing it all over your face thats when you rinse off.

Leaves my face beautifully soft.
I would only recommend this for dry skin. The secret: rub it between your fingers, then massage it thoroughly (not spread it) onto dry skin. Then take it off with a washcloth and A LOT of warm water. If you wipe it off like a cleansing cream, it will leave a lot behind.. Massaging and rinsing left my skin very soft. Love this!

The very best!
This is the best make up remover I have ever used. It's been my go-to for years, and I come back to it every time after trying something different.

Preferred format of cleanser
Love the product and was fortunate to receive a free sample. However, as much as it's effective at makeup removal I personally won't be using this product for eye makeup removal in future, as it clouds your eyes, and will stick to the existing product for this.

Works great on eye makeup
I decided to try the balm first. It is great on makeup removal, however it is a little greasy. I mainly use it to remove eye makeup and my mascara. It only takes a small amount as it spreads easily. I may be trying the makeup remover instead to compare.

Very Effective
at removing makeup, even liner and mascara without stinging or burning. This is the ONLY product I've ever used that doesn't do that. It rinses clean and makes your skin feel like velvet. I use this first, rinse, then wash with Clinique facial cleanser. I then use my facial treatments for the night. *I use it even if I don't have makeup on.*

They should call this "Melt the day away"...
All time favorite makeup remover, or "melter" before washing my face. It is not harsh and it loosens up even the strongest finishing spray I've used. It leaves me feeling hydrated and ready for the rest of my skincare routine. I have dry skin and I absolutely love this!

Doesnt work
It didn’t remove my makeup, just smudged it. I had to use another product, and it’s also really annoying to wash off. Do not recommend, complete waist of money.

Burns
I was looking for a new makeup remover and this was not it. I just had a little mascara and it left a film in my eyes and burned all around my eyes. Now I have watery, red puffy eyes. It also didn't do a great job compared to my oil based remover

Cult classic for a reason
This balm effortlessly melts makeup off no matter how much product you have on. Very effective and easy to use. Has not stripped my skin or given me any reactions either.

Didn't work for me
This did absolutely nothing for me. It didnt break down or take off my makeup or mascara as i wouldve expected. Still had to use my makeup remover wipes because this balm just made more of mess if anything. Honestly, this was a waste of money for me.

Effortless Makeup Removal with a Luxurious Feel!
Clinique's Take The Day Off™ Cleansing Balm is a dream come true for anyone who wears makeup or sunscreen. This silky balm melts instantly upon contact with skin, dissolving even waterproof mascara and long-wear foundation without tugging or irritation. It rinses cleanly with water, leaving no greasy residue—just soft, supple, and thoroughly cleansed skin. I appreciate that it's fragrance-free and gentle enough for sensitive eyes and skin. Whether you're double-cleansing or simplifying your routine, this balm makes removal quick and luxurious. A true holy grail!
