Take The Day Off Home + Away Duo

The Take The Day Off Home + Away Duo is Clinique's cleansing balm in two sizes: the full 125 ml jar for your bathroom shelf and a 30 ml version for a weekend bag. The balm starts solid, melts into an oil the moment it meets skin, and takes off makeup, sunscreen and the grime of the day before your actual cleanser gets involved. Short ingredient list, no fragrance.

Set includes	Take The Day Off Cleansing Balm 4.2 oz / 125 ml · travel size 1.0 oz / 30 ml
Texture	Solid balm that turns to a silky oil on contact
Formula	Under 10 ingredients · 100% fragrance free
Tested	Dermatologist, ophthalmologist and allergy tested
Packaging	Ships as two individual products — no gift box or bag

What it actually does

• Removes the stubborn layers. Clinique says it breaks down long-wear face makeup, waterproof eye makeup, sunscreen and pollutants — the things a foaming cleanser alone tends to leave behind.
• Changes state as you work it in. It goes on as a balm and converts to an oil, then rinses away cleanly with warm water rather than leaving a film.
• Cleans without stripping. The brand's claim is that it clears pores and lifts impurities while keeping skin's natural moisture balance intact, so skin feels soft afterwards instead of squeaky.
• Looks after lashes and brows. Clinique positions it as conditioning for the hairs it passes over, which matters if you wear mascara daily.
• Built for sensitive skin and eyes. It is dermatologist, ophthalmologist and allergy tested, and completely fragrance free.
• Minimal formula. Fewer than ten ingredients, which is unusually short for a cleansing balm.
• Two sizes so you stop decanting. The 30 ml travels; the 125 ml stays home.

How to use

1. Start on dry skin. Dry hands, dry face — water at this stage stops the balm dissolving makeup properly.
2. Massage with fingertips. Work it over the face, spending longer on eye makeup and anywhere you applied SPF.
3. Rinse well with warm water, then pat the skin dry.
4. Follow with a second cleanse. Clinique recommends Take The Day Off Facial Cleansing Mousse or any All About Clean cleanser to complete a double cleanse.

Questions

Do I still need a second cleanser?

Clinique treats this as the first stage of a double cleanse and suggests following it with a mousse or gel cleanser. The balm's job is to break down makeup and SPF; the second cleanser handles whatever sits underneath.

Is it safe around the eyes?

It is ophthalmologist tested and marketed as suitable for sensitive eyes, and it is intended for waterproof eye makeup. Work slowly over closed lids and rinse thoroughly.

Is the duo gift wrapped?

No — the two jars arrive as separate products with no box or bag included.
