Take The Day Off™ Cleansing Oil

Clinique Take The Day Off™ Cleansing Oil is the first step of a double cleanse — an oil that breaks down stubborn makeup on contact instead of asking you to scrub at it. You massage it over dry skin, add water, and it rinses away without leaving an oily film behind.

What it actually does

• Dissolves makeup that refuses to budge. Clinique positions this as an oil that immediately loosens long-wearing face makeup, surface oil and the day's build-up.
• Rinses clean, not greasy. Per the brand, it glides over skin and washes off with plain water with no residue left sitting on the surface.
• Suited to every skin type. Clinique recommends it across the board rather than for one specific skin type.
• Ophthalmologist tested. The formula has been through ophthalmologist testing, which is the detail to look for if you are removing eye makeup.
• Formulated without parabens. That is the one exclusion Clinique calls out for this product.

How to use

1. Start on a dry face — no splashing water first.
2. Work it over the skin with your fingertips using gentle circles, giving extra time to lashes and any long-wear lip or base product.
3. Rinse away with water.
4. If you wear heavy makeup or SPF, follow with your usual face wash to finish the cleanse.

Questions

Do I still need a face wash after it?

The oil rinses off cleanly on its own, so it can work as a one-step remove. Most people with full makeup still prefer to follow with a water-based cleanser so the skin is properly clean before serums go on.

Will it leave my face feeling slippery?

Clinique's claim is no residue after rinsing — it is built to wash away with water rather than sit on top of the skin.

Is it safe around the eyes?

It has been ophthalmologist tested. Work slowly around the lashes, keep your eyes closed while you massage, and rinse thoroughly afterwards.
