Shin Hyun-ji’s Clinique Cleansing Balm: The 125mL Jar and Similar Names
The purple cleansing jar shown by model Shin Hyun-ji is Clinique's Take The Day Off Cleansing Balm. The product name needs its final words: the same collection includes other cleansing formats, and choosing any bottle labeled “Take The Day Off” may not get you the balm shown in her feature.

Which jar can be identified?
HIGH CUT's Shin Hyun-ji beauty-item list names the Clinique cleansing balm. Its image shows her holding the purple jar with a silver lid, and the accompanying product picture displays Cleansing Balm, 125mL.
The feature presents it as a cleansing item that also removes eye makeup. What can be established is the identity of the featured product. The scene does not establish that she recommended the charcoal version, cleansing oil or every item in the collection, and it does not guarantee identical results for every skin type.

The charcoal balm and cleansing oil are different items
Clinique's official store lists Take The Day Off Cleansing Balm separately from Take The Day Off Charcoal Cleansing Balm. The collection also contains cleansing oil, a remover for lids and lips, and wipes. Shared collection wording does not make them the same product.
When comparing a retailer's listing, look for the complete balm name and the selected variant. A picture of a purple jar next to an option selector is not enough if the chosen option changes the item, size or quantity in the basket.
The official routine starts on dry skin
The official directions reviewed for the standard balm say to use it before a regular cleanser and skincare products. Massage it over dry skin with fingertips, rinse thoroughly with warm water and pat dry. The page then describes following with a cleanser for double cleansing.
That starting point differs from treating the balm as a foaming wash on an already-wet face. Follow the instructions on the actual purchased product. This guide reports the manufacturer's sequence; it does not add a scrubbing time, a guaranteed result or a claim that Shin follows every step in exactly that way.
Compare size labels across markets carefully
On November 3, 2026, the US official page displayed 1oz, 3.8oz and 6.7oz choices, while the standard product image included a 125mL label. The identification in this article follows the 125mL marking visible in the feature rather than assuming that every listing is the same size.
US prices or promotional gifts should not be represented as Korean-store offers. When ordering domestically or internationally, check the selected size, whether the listing is a full-size item or a travel size, and whether extras are gifts or separate products.
A short purchase checklist
- Confirm that the full name ends in Cleansing Balm.
- Check whether “Charcoal” appears in the selected option.
- Match the actual volume and number of jars.
- Read the product's ingredient list and warnings rather than inferring suitability from the model's use.
- Compare shipping, seller and returns alongside the headline price.
No verified affiliate link for the exact product is provided here, so a similarly named item is not substituted. The official product button is for checking the manufacturer's information, not a claim that it is the lowest-priced seller.
