Product code: T234573F

Clinique's #1 makeup remover is a silky balm formula that gently dissolves makeup. Now with detoxifying Japanese charcoal, this lightweight cleansing balm is suitable for Dry Combination, Combination Oily and Oily skin types. This charcoal cleansing makeup remover quickly dissolves tenacious eye and face makeup and sunscreen. Japanese charcoal acts as a purifying ingredient that deeply cleanses, detoxifies and unclogs pores, helping clear dirt, oil and other impurities. Safflower seed oil works efficiently to help break up natural oil found on skin, as well as dissolving hard-to-remove makeup. Rich in linoleic acid, this natural emollient helps leave skin feeling soft and nourished. The solid balm transforms into a silky oil upon application and rinses off completely without leaving an oily or greasy residue. To apply, massage balm over dry skin, rinse well with warm water and pat dry. The formula is: non-acnegenic; non-greasy; non-drying; non-stripping; fragrance-free; allergy-tested; ophthalmologist-tested and dermatologist-tested.

Great stuff

Originally posted on influenster.com

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I don't know why a charcoal based cleanser is so calming and nourishing but this is. It feels so good to take my makeup off with it. A little goes a long way. It cleanses without drying or feeling too oily.

Clinique Charcoal Cleansing Balm

Originally posted on influenster.com

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’m a big fan of cleansing balms over cleansing oils so I was very excited to receive this one from Clinique. I liked the texture and felt like it did well removing the days oil and grime, but because of the charcoal it makes everything messy. After washing my face there would always be streaks of grayish water in my sink. I don’t think the charcoal necessarily has any strong benefit and for the price, you can find cheaper options that don’t make a mess & are equally effective. Thank you for the opportunity to try your product, Clinique!

Leaves a residue buildup

Originally posted on influenster.com

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I did not like it. This snells awful and leaves a thick film on my skin even after rinsing it off. I had to use additional cleansing products to completely remove the residue.

Absolutely fantastic

Originally posted on clinique.co.uk

Yes, I recommend this

Started using this as oil free miscellar cleanser discontinued. It is easy to use and melts on your skin, all makeup and SPF removed , it is not drying at all. I use with the little Clinique cloths which wash clean. Considering I have rosacea and am sensitive there is no reaction at all just nice smooth skin. Thank you

It removes allllll your makeup and by the time you wash with a soap there is NOTHING left on your face! Takes everything off and no sensitivity or drying! I haven’t found a better product as a pre-cleanser

I’ve tried many this one was the absolute best it didn’t leave my face all dry and itchy, which is a huge plus this is my new favor and will continue to buy.

Not as good as the original

Originally posted on clinique.co.uk

No, I don't recommend this

I've used the original version of this for years and it's been great - so easy to remove all of my makeup. This one is not good for removing makeup - I have to leave it on for so long and rub so much and even after that I have panda eyes straight away. My eyes also itch - not sure whether that's the product or the fact that my makeup isn't being washed away completely. It's super difficult to wash off completely. Really disappointed that I have a lot of the jar left, especially as it's not cheap.

visible difference in less than a week

Originally posted on clinique.co.uk

Yes, I recommend this

I had a sample sized pot for some time and when I ran out of my usual cleaner I went to my drawer of Clinique goodies and dug this out. Quite a surprise with the texture at first but quickly realised that it does indeed turn to a soft balm as I massaged onto skin. I love this product as it is so lovely to use I now massage my face as part of my night routine and both my skin and my stress levels have improved. Thank you Clinique for a great gift.

Amazing cleanser

Clear cleansing balm is better

Originally posted on clinique.co.uk

No, I don't recommend this

I have very oily skin. I'd been using the clear cleansing balm but the charcoal version came out, so opted for that. It didn't really make any difference to my skin in terms of controlling oil. I find it hard to wash off. If it gets on your clothes or towels it stains (but does wash out) and leave stains on the sink which is a pain to wash down. I'll only buy the clear version in the future.

I had my doubts about this, so black and gloopy, but stuck with it and now, after just a few weeks of use, it has made a huge difference to my skin which now looks much fresher and clearer than before. Excellent results!

Excellent Solution for Makeup Removal

Originally posted on influenster.com

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] You have to adjust to the concept of a cleansing balm but once you do, you probably won’t go back. I use oil cleansers for skin and it took some adjustment but I’ve really reaped the benefits of better skin. This product is amazing at removing makeup and the residue of the day in general. I love it and will continue to buy and use it.
