Effective but tricky to use

Originally posted on Clinique UK

I remember trying this many years ago, however forgot how awkward it is to use. It's an oily cleanser and no matter how careful you are, there will always be some spillage and wastage. Best to use this while at a basin, cup your hand and just one pump is enough to massage on one side of the face. After few pumps and massaging well, I use a damp muslin cloth or fannel to wipe away makeup etc. This cleanses well, however i still like to double cleanse and use the foaming wash before the rest of 3-step

Eyes irritated by this product

Originally posted on Clinique UK

I have used Take the Day Off Oil on my face to remove my make up. I know it isn't an eye make up remover but it inevitable that it will go near my eye area when rinsing it off. Since using it, my eyes have become sore and uncomfortable and watery so I have had to stop using it.

Stings my eyes

Originally posted on clinique.co.uk

No, I don't recommend this

I bought this product through Lookfantastic and although this product is good at removing face makeup, I was very disappointed in how it felt when removing my eye makeup. It stings very badly and leaves my vision blurry for a few minutes after. I asked a friend to try it and they got back to me with the same comment about the eyes. I only use Clinique products, so I was incredibly disappointed in this one!

Amazing lightweight cleansing oil, which does not contain any pore clogging ingredients like many other cleansing oils. It's perfect for acne prone sensitive skin and fragrance free.

Love this before using a face wash

Yes, I recommend this

I think people don't live the product because they use it incorrectly. I love using an oil based cleanser to break down my makeup, then I like to use a cleansing foam to remove all of the excess. I will be buying this again when I finish using it. I have not any reactions to this product.

Doesn't remove makeup

Originally posted on clinique.co.uk

It would be good if this product worked. I have to use another products after this couple of times to clean the skin and remove the makeup residue. Because it doesn't fully cleanse, the skin gets breakouts. Money wasted

Lovely feel on face

Yes, I recommend this

Great, you don’t need a huge amount on your face so the bottle is going to last a while. Really nice feel to it. My only gripe is getting mascara off, that needs a little bit more work to remove but other than that I really like this

Clinique Take the Day Off Cleansing Oil

Brilliant cleansing oil. I massage it over dry skin to remove dirt and makeup then remove it with a hot wrung out flannel. My skin is then ready for the second step of my double cleanse.

Not great, gave me a skin reaction!

Originally posted on clinique.co.uk

I really wanted to like this product. I have a normal to combi skin, never have reactions to products as my skin is not sensitive. Well, I had a bad reaction to this product. Red face, burning sensation, itchy skin. I am so disappointed! Would return if I could and buy something else...

Just Amazing,

Originally posted on clinique.co.uk

Yes, I recommend this

I would never have thought about using an oil as cleanser on my skin. When I was younger I had oily/ combination skin so would stay away from products like this but as I've gotten older it's changed to dryer and dehydrated so this is perfect. It simply melts the make up away ready for my second cleanse and leaves my skin silky smooth. I've used Clinique for nearly 30 years and used lots their products over the years and this will definitely will be a constant in my skincare routine.

Just wonderful!

Originally posted on clinique.co.uk

This oil actually melts make up off my face and is super gentle. I have combination skin and used to be prone to breakouts, therefore weary of using oils on my face - however I have not experienced any drying or sensitivity when using this, as I have done with other cleansers. There is also absolutely no residue left behind once rinsed, no harsh scrubbing or excessive rubbing. It's such a quick and effective way to remove all makeup. Just brilliant!

A must have product!

Originally posted on clinique.co.uk

I've been using this for a few years, and I can't live without it. I use it morning and night as part of a double cleansing routine. Two pumps onto a dry face and it takes off every last bit of everything! So gentle, no irritation (especially around my eyes which are sensitive to everything) and I like to take my time and give my face a nice massage. Leaves no residue when you rinse it off. I love it.
