As a beauty editor for several years, I’ve tried just about every product on the market. Dozens, if not hundreds, of formulas have been incorporated into my daily cleansing regimen. But I find I always go back to one specific product: Enter Elemis Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm ($66). It has been a customer favorite in the UK skincare brand’s portfolio since 2013. This is a godsend that cleanses, softens, and brightens skin without the hassle of an expert. Esthetician. Ahead, we break down everything you need to know about the luxury formula and why you need it in your vanity.
What I love about Elemis Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm
This cleansing balm is the next best thing to your daily facial. I know, It may sound dramatic, but it’s as luxurious as it is effective. Use it as the first step in your double cleansing on makeup days (it also works as a moisturizing face mask), warming a pea-sized amount between your palms and then massaging it into your skin. Even makeup formula melts off my face. Plus, it leaves your skin feeling moisturized right after you wash your face. Forget the feeling of peeling skin. This balm leaves your complexion very smooth and soothed.
Notable
Keep in mind that this cleansing balm is expensive, but it does a little bit (the last bath lasted nearly six months, but I only used it on the day I put on my makeup). Another point worth noting is the fragrance. It’s a blend of essential oils with a soothing, spa-like scent. I also understand why is turned off.
and we can’t No Touch the undeniably unique texture. It starts out as a gel-like balm, but when blended with water, it transforms into a milky white oil. If you’re picky about the texture of your skincare products, we recommend using the travel-size version of this cleansing balm before purchasing the full-size option.
Who is Elemis Cleansing Balm best for?
The Elemis Cleansing Balm is perfect for makeup wearers looking for intensive cleansing or for those with dry, dull skin that needs a little more care. This formula is especially recommended if you want skin care to be a sensory experience rather than an obligatory part of your daily routine.
