Transform your daily cleansing routine into a deeply luxurious sensory ritual with the Elemis Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm, an award-winning treatment that melts away makeup, daily pollutants, and impurities.. As the UK’s number one luxury cleanser, this iconic balm delivers a masterclass in deep cleansing and skin conditioning. Its unique, transformative texture starts as a rich balm, emulsifies into a hydrating milk, and rinses clean to leave the skin feeling intensely nourished, thoroughly purified, and exceptionally soft. Infused with a unique blend of essential oils, it brings the serenity of a luxury spa directly into your bathroom.. Benefits. Deeply Cleanses: Effortlessly dissolves stubborn makeup, long-wear foundation, daily pollutants, and excess sebum.. Transformative Texture: Evolves from a comforting balm to a luxurious cleansing oil, finishing as a hydrating milk.. Intense Nourishment: Rehydrates and conditions dry, compromised skin layers to prevent a stripped, tight feeling.. Smoothes and Plumps: Infuses the skin matrix with marine lipids to soften the look of fine lines and texture irregularities.. Sensory Aromatherapy: Calms the mind and relaxes the senses with a signature blend of 9 therapeutic essential oils.. The Science Behind the Formula. Elemis combines cell-nourishing lipid complexes with legendary marine botanicals to deliver optimal cleansing alongside heavy-duty barrier care:. Padina Pavonica: Sourced from the Mediterranean coast, this exceptional brown algae extract dramatically supports hydration levels while visibly increasing skin firmness, bounce, and suppleness.. Starflower (Borage) Oil: The richest natural source of Gamma-Linolenic Acid, an essential fatty acid that helps maintain skin health and reinforces the natural moisture barrier.. Elderberry Oil: High in essential fatty acids and natural antioxidants, it works to smooth the skin, improve elasticity, and promote a radiant complexion.. Optimega™ Oil: A tailored blend of wheatgerm and oat oils designed to minimise trans-epidermal water loss and keep the skin feeling deeply conditioned.. Why We Love It. We love this cleansing balm because it elevates the standard chore of makeup removal into an indulgent act of self-care. It tackles everything from waterproof mascara to heavy SPF without requiring any harsh pulling or scrubbing on the skin. It leaves behind an unmistakable, salon-fresh glow and a cushiony softness that makes it just as effective as a weekly, intensive facial mask as it is an everyday deep cleanser.. How To Use It. Use daily, every morning and evening, as the foundation of your skincare routine.. Warm a pea-sized amount between dry palms and massage gently over a dry face, neck, and décolletage using light, circular motions.. Moisten your fingertips with warm water to emulsify the balm into a luxurious, silky milk.. Remove thoroughly with a warm, damp cleansing cloth.. To Use as an Intensive Mask: Smooth a generous layer over clean, dry skin and leave on for 10 minutes to deeply nourish the skin barrier before rinsing away.. Works Well With. Follow this deep cleanse with the Elemis Pro-Collagen Marine Cream during the day to lock in maximum marine-charged hydration and smoothing benefits.. Values. Cruelty-free, mineral oil-free formula, suitable for all skin types, including dry, mature, and sensitive skin.
