The Elemis Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm is designed for individuals seeking a luxurious and highly effective facial cleanser that also nourishes the skin. Its key win lies in its ability to thoroughly remove makeup, daily impurities, and pollutants while leaving the skin soft, hydrated, and radiant. While offering a premium, spa-like experience, users should ensure proper rinsing for optimal results.

The Elemis Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm excels at providing a comprehensive and luxurious cleanse. Its unique balm-to-oil-to-milk texture is central to its performance. When applied to dry skin, the balm melts quickly into a silky oil, effortlessly dissolving makeup, excess sebum, and environmental debris. The act of massaging the oil into the skin not only cleanses but also stimulates circulation and provides a moment of relaxation.
Upon adding warm water, the oil emulsifies into a light, milky lotion, making it easy to rinse away without leaving a greasy residue. This ensures that the skin feels clean, but also incredibly soft and supple, not tight or dry. Many users find their skin barrier feels protected rather than compromised.
Examples of Use:
Evening Cleanse: A pea-sized amount is perfect for a nightly ritual to remove a full face of makeup and prepare skin for serums and moisturizers.
Morning Refresh: A smaller amount can be used in the morning for a gentle cleanse that leaves skin feeling soft and ready for the day.
Nourishing Mask: For an extra treat, apply a generous layer to clean, dry skin. Leave on for 10 minutes to allow the botanical oils to deeply nourish, then emulsify and rinse as usual.
This product requires no specific setup. Simply open the jar and ensure your hands are clean before use to maintain product hygiene.
The Elemis Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm is generally suitable for most skin types, particularly normal, dry, and mature skin. Its nourishing properties make it excellent for those concerned with hydration and anti-aging. For individuals with very sensitive skin, it is always recommended to perform a patch test on a small area of skin before full facial application, due to the presence of essential oils.
Storage: Store the balm in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures, to maintain its texture and efficacy.
Lid Security: Always ensure the lid is securely replaced after each use to prevent exposure to air and maintain the product's freshness.
Application Hygiene: Use clean, dry hands or a clean spatula to scoop out the product to avoid introducing bacteria into the jar.
