This charcoal containing remover works better for my super oily skin in comparison to original balm. I'm removing one star for incorrect description " for dry combination to oily skin". For dry or dry combination skin types try the original ( white) product

I loved this product initially. It feels nice on my skin and takes off a day of heavy makeup! It unfortunately also stained my bathroom counter tops. I have scrubbed them repeatedly and am left with ugly purple stains. I also had on a Samsung watch with a cream band that is permanently stained as well. Very upsetting.

This is my favorite makeup remover, and I am not on my way to trying the one without charcoal. I love this product because it eliminated the need to use wipes or cotton pads and can be simply washed off with water
Perfect for summer

Charcoal cleansing balm!!

I usually purchase the regular Take the Day Off cleansing balm but I decided to try this one with the charcoal.. I really love the way it makes my skin feel so soft and clean! This has actually helped my pores look better and I wasn't expecting to see a real difference between the 2 cleansing balm products. I have very large pores and this product has made the pores look smaller. I wish I had of tried it earlier because I really love this product! When I put it on I rub into my skin really good and leave it for a couple minutes then rinse my splashing water on to my face and follow with the jelly cleanser. I see some people just wipe off with a dry cloth. But I have sensitive skin so I always want to make sure I get it all off. It doesn't make a mess in the sink like some charcoal cleansers do. It rinses off nicely. This is my new favorite!

I received a sample and at first thought this wouldn't be a great option for my oily skin, however, I was so excited to find out how great this product is! The container makes it easy to grab the perfect amount and a little goes a long way. I like to put it on before my shower and rub it in, allowing it to dissolve the make up. Then a few quick wipes and a pump of my oily skin liquid soap and I feel so clean and ready for my clarifying lotion 4 and my DD gel! I am really excited that this was a new offering. I'd love to see it available in a travel size more often, as I travel for work and the larger jar is a bit bulky for travel.
Great makeup balm

Love using this to take off my makeup. I use a makeup eraser cloth to wipe it off and follow up with a gentle cleanser. Perfect way to take off my makeup without breaking out.

I received this as a free sample. After using just one time I had an allergic reaction all around my eyes.

I received a trial size of the charcoal remover and decided to try it. First, it smelled of petroleum, a very chemical smell, and stained my washcloth when I wanted to remove it. I cannot think of ever using this product when so many other options are available.
Don't bother, not worth the $$.

The review system won't let me give it NO stars, which is what it deserves. Thank goodness I didn't actually pay $$ for it, but rec'd it as a sample. It's messy to use, takes a ton of tissues to wipe off (not good for the environment), didn't remove all my eye makeup and irritated my eyes (despite the claim that it is good for sensitive skin and eyes). If you want a good eye makeup remover, stick with the tried & true Take the Day Off Makeup Remover for Lids, Lashes & Lips.

I love this product. In the winter my skin gets so dry and itchy and I can't hydrate it enough. I used this today an was impressed how well it removed my waterproof mascara, eye makeup without burning my eyes. Followed up with take the day off wash and applied my super hydration lotion and all about eyes. My face feels so good. I'm thinking after using daily for the next week my skin should be back to normal.

I wasn't looking for this take the day off balm but tried it after I received it in my Ipsy bag. I am pleasantly surprised how soft and refreshed my broken out skin feels. My hard to remove eye liner and eyeshadow came right off really using it with my make up eraser. Usually the makeup eraser cloth doesn't remove all my eye make up on its own. My skin is very sensitive, oily and acne prone but it's helped to calm my break out without over drying it.

I was really hoping to love this product. I loved the Charcoal mask so I figured this must be just as good. Unfortunately, I was wrong. I tried to use it over my eyes to wipe off my mascara, etc. and it burned horribly bad. To the point that it took hours to see out of my eyes again. I'm hoping at some the sensitive eye remover will come back in stock. That is only thing that doesn't burn my eyes after using it. Like I said, I really wanted to like this but unfortunately I just couldn't. I hope it works well for other people besides me.
Love

Paste texture, dug out a lump, palm press a press to become waxy state, massage in the face for a while into oil, but not greasy, clean makeup.

My skin has never looked so good! I've been using this for a couple weeks and I have seen a dramatic change in my skin. Clogged pores and blackheads are gone! My skin is so soft and clear it's unreal. After rinsing the charcoal balm I use the acne solutions cleansing bar, then apply even better brightening essence lotion and dramatically different moisturizer. My skin looks better without makeup than it does with it now. I'm sold!

I have been using cliniqe products for several years now so trusted that this charcoal take the day off cleansing balm would be good too. I have sensitive skin and was excited to see a charcoal based product, on the first day I used this - the smell was strange but I still tried it on. The next day I used it again, and since just the 2nd use my skin broke out like crazy - I never never never get pimple like bumps ever. It has been several days since I stopped using this after only the 2 times and still am dealing with the awful pimple like bumps. The smell is awful and so is the product. I am now dealing with skin problems and wasted money on this product which I will never use again, and now I have to find something and spend more money to reverse the side effects of this product. I really wanted to like this, but this product is terrible.
Love this version as well!

This is a cleansing powerhouse! This balm effortlessly melts away makeup, dirt, and impurities, leaving my skin feeling fresh and clean. The addition of charcoal provides an extra detoxifying boost, ensuring a deep and thorough cleanse. I love how easily it glides on and emulsifies with water, making rinsing a breeze.
