100% genuine. Unwanted birthday gift as my hubbie bought this one instead of the cleansing oil. This Cleansing Balm by Clinique melts away all traces of the day for a cleansed & soft finish. The non-greasy formula effectively removes stubborn makeup stripping the skin of moisture. Lightweight and deeply nourishing, the balm harnesses the moisturising properties of safflower seed oil to help protect against dryness. Clinique’s multi-purpose formula delivers protection against external aggressors, while deep cleansing the pores. Suitable for all skin types. Vegan.
