Reviews about Clinique Take The Day Off Charcoal Cleansing Balm

I'm disappointed with this product that I purchased. It has an awful and unpleasant smell, like someone mixed vaseline with coal. Even after washing my face with a cleansing gel, I still experience unpleasant sensations that are difficult to wash away. I noticed enlarged pores in areas where I didn't have them before, and these pores are filled with stubborn dirt that's hard to remove! Maybe it's suitable for dry skin, but I wouldn't recommend it for combination skin.

I am extremely satisfied with this balm. I used its classic version before and I was amazed. The only difference with this one is probably the color. It quickly and effectively removes stubborn makeup and is suitable for sensitive eyes. It's like a fairytale.

I bought this product as an additional item to receive a gift on promotion. After struggling to remove my eyeliner with three cotton disks and micellar water, I decided to give this balm a try. To my surprise, it instantly dissolved my makeup. Maybe another oil-based product would have worked too, but I didn't have any other option at the time, and this one did the job :)

I bought the largest jar of this product - it will probably last for a year. It effectively removes even waterproof mascara, the key is to use the right amount, gently massage it for a while. If you use an enzyme afterward, it helps to even out the skin. My skin is oily and problematic, but it doesn't clog pores, although I use acids.

I didn't understand this product. It doesn't melt upon contact with the skin like oil or something similar. Instead, it smears into some kind of dirt and doesn't really dissolve makeup. I have to wash it off three more times with a cleansing gel.
