"The Clinique Take the Day Off Charcoal Cleansing Balm, this stuff is a Holy Grail for a lot of people. The regular version without the charcoal, I like the version with the charcoal better than the regular version. The regular version gets in my eyes and makes things blurry. I didn't have that experience with this one, so I would hands down buy this one again."

"The original Clinique Take the Day Off cleansing balm really works well for a lot of people. I find for me it gets in my eyes and things look foggy for a while. I didn't have that problem with this one, however it is pretty messy because when you rinse it off the water kind of turns black. The nice thing about it is a little bit of this one goes a very long way. So [...] this one's a really nice small size."

"My favorite balm to actually use is the Clinique Take the Day Off Cleansing Balm, the charcoal one is so good for people who have combination to oily skin. [...] This will take your makeup off, it will dissolve everything, even the toughest type of eyeliner this thing will dissolve. I take my time and work this through or into my face, and once I'm done doing that I'm going to rinse it off with water."

"This one is a charcoal cleansing balm and it's much better or targeted at people with combination to oily skin. [...] This is actually what you need if you're interested in trying the Clinique cleansing balms and you have oily combination skin, definitely go for the charcoal one. When you use [...] this, you get a crisp clean feel like you can actually feel like this has gotten rid of oils. This is very good but then it's not drying."

What the evidence says.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

Vitamin E

Vitamin E is an antioxidant, and it is often in a formula to keep the other ingredients stable rather than as the active itself. It pairs well with vitamin C, though on its own the evidence for visible change is limited.
