Elemis Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm 100g
The cleanser seat: a balm that turns to oil, then to milk, and makes the evening cleanse the best smelling step of the day.
Every routine in this edit starts here because the evening cleanse decides whether anything after it reaches clean skin. The balm to oil to milk sequence removes makeup and sunscreen without a stripping finish, and the jar doubles as a ten minute mask on the nights the Caudalie clay stays in the drawer.
The specification
- Size
- 100g jar
- Format
- Balm to oil to milk cleansing balm
- Key ingredients
- Padina Pavonica, starflower oil, elderberry oil, rose and mimosa waxes
- Use
- Massage over dry skin, moisten fingertips, remove with a warm cloth; also a 10 minute mask
- Range
- Pro-Collagen
Strengths
- Three textures in one use: solid balm on dry skin, oil as it warms, then a milky emulsion when water is added, as the listing describes
- Rose and mimosa waxes with elderberry, starflower and Optimega oils leave a conditioned feel that dry skin notices immediately
- The same jar works as a ten minute nourishing mask, which earns it a second job on mask nights
Limitations
- It needs a warm cloth or a patient rinse; a quick splash can leave a film behind
- The nine essential oil fragrance, lavender and eucalyptus among them, divides opinion sharply
- A jar format asks for dry hands or a spatula to stay hygienic
What owners report
In praise
- Makeup and sunscreen melting away without rubbing or a second cleanser for many owners
- The spa scent, described again and again as the reason the evening cleanse gets done
- Skin feeling conditioned after rinsing instead of tight
With reservations
- Residue when the cloth step is skipped or rushed
- The balm arriving shifted in warm weather, which the brand notes is cosmetic only
- The fragrance is too much for a minority of owners
Suits
The first step of the evening routine, for anyone who wears makeup or sunscreen daily and wants one jar to remove both while leaving skin soft rather than stripped.
Skip if
You want a fast foaming wash, or scented skincare is off your list. The essential oil blend is central to this product and impossible to miss.
