The Elemis Pro-Collagen Black Cherry Cleansing Balm is designed for skincare enthusiasts seeking a luxurious, effective first cleanse that not only removes makeup and impurities but also nourishes the skin. Its key benefit lies in its ability to dissolve stubborn grime without stripping the skin, leaving it soft and supple. As a balm, it requires a specific application technique, and this 20g size is ideal for travel or as an introduction to the product.

The Elemis Pro-Collagen Black Cherry Cleansing Balm excels as a first cleanse, particularly in an evening skincare routine. Its rich, melting texture effortlessly breaks down and lifts away a full face of makeup, SPF, and environmental impurities without any harsh scrubbing.
Start Dry: Begin with dry hands and a dry face. Scoop a small, almond-sized amount of balm onto your fingertips.
Warm & Apply: Gently warm the balm between your palms to soften it. Apply it to your face, neck, and décolletage.
Massage Thoroughly: Using circular motions, massage the balm into your skin for at least 60 seconds. This allows the oils to fully dissolve makeup and impurities. Pay extra attention to areas with heavy makeup like eyes and lips.
Emulsify: Add a small amount of warm water to your face. The balm will transform into a milky emulsion. Continue massaging briefly to fully emulsify the product.
Rinse or Remove: Rinse your face thoroughly with warm water, or for a more spa-like experience, dampen a warm cleansing cloth and gently wipe away the balm, ensuring all residue is removed.
Follow Up: Proceed with your second cleanse (if double cleansing), toner, serums, and moisturizer.
This balm is particularly effective for those with normal, dry, or mature skin types, providing a comforting and non-drying cleanse. Its ability to leave skin feeling soft and supple, rather than tight, makes it a luxurious addition to any evening regimen.
Using the Elemis Pro-Collagen Black Cherry Cleansing Balm requires no complex setup. Simply ensure you have clean hands before scooping out the product. No special tools are needed beyond your fingertips and a cleansing cloth (optional).
Skin Types: Suitable for most skin types, particularly beneficial for normal, dry, and mature skin. Those with oily or combination skin can also use it, but may prefer to follow with a foaming cleanser to ensure no residue.
Makeup Removal: Effective for removing various types of makeup, including waterproof formulations.
Sensitive Skin: While generally gentle, always perform a patch test on a small area of skin if you have very sensitive skin or known allergies to fragrances.
Storage: Store the balm in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures, to maintain its texture and efficacy.
Lid Seal: Always ensure the lid is tightly sealed after each use to prevent contamination and drying out of the product.
Application: Use clean fingers or a small spatula to scoop out the product to maintain hygiene.
