If you read my review of La Roche Posay Invisible Spray Suncream you may remember me saying I was going back to old school reviews and writing some blog posts about my holy grail, forever products. There are some epic products I have used for years and it's only right a light is on those products. For my next singular beauty item review, it had to be a review of Elemis Pro Collagen Cleansing Balm. I have been blogging about my love for this product since 2015 and definitely using it since at least 2012 I believe?! The Elemis Cleansing Balm is a holy grail cleanser, it is such a dreamy, multi-tasking product and that's why it deserves a full review on the blog today. If you're thinking of buying the Elemis Pro-Collagen Cleansing balm, look no further than this review.

So what is the Elemis Pro-Collagen Cleansing balm? The Elemis Cleansing balm is what it says on the tin: a balm cleanser which literally melts away make up and grime, more than just a cleanser though, its full of good stuff so you can be safe knowing that it's kind to your skin too.
When I am trying to describe this product to people quickly, I just say it's a quick and easy way to melt everything away, leaving behind glowing, baby-soft skin.
Every year the Elemis Cleansing balm lands on my best beauty products of the year list, it's one of those products I think I will continue to grab for life. I mix and match my cleansers a lot depending on my skins needs but I always have this stocked up, ready to grab on those lazy days. This cleanser is the perfect lazy cleanser, if you want to have a good cleanse but don't have the time or if you have tough to remove make up on your skin such as waterproof make up or a high coverage foundation, this literally melts it off with minimal effort.
Why do I love it? It's a best seller for a reason! You literally put it all over your face to create a balm like mask and when added to water, it literally melts everything away, even the difficult to remove stuff. I find this is the best cleanser to use if I've had a night out and worn really heavy make up, or for something like Halloween make up or a photo shoot: it just cuts through grime and gets it all off. I still double cleanse but this really is powerful. I'm not sure if you're meant to so don't quote but on this but I personally pop it even on my eyes and find it removes stubborn eye make up too. It doesn't sting, it is so gentle on my skin.
It's rare to have a cleanser that cleanses so well but in a gentle way too, it doesn't strip the skin.
There are a few different versions of the Elemis Pro-Collagen Cleansing balm you can use, I personally don't mind between the original and the rose one - both work beautifully on my skin. Elemis brought out the Elemis Naked Cleansing Balm in 2021, basically the famous balm but in naked form! It was a limited edition, fragrance-free version of their bestselling cleansing balm.
In terms of the science of the product: Elemis Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm uses a 3-in-1 transformative texture, it basically goes on as a cleansing balm, the oils work to remove make up or grime but then it hydrates like a milky formula once water hits the skin. You get the nourishment of the balm, the cleansing oil element to remove make up and when water is added, a hydrating cleansing milk. It's mineral oil-free and infuses Rose and Mimosa waxes with Elderberry, Starflower and Optimega™ Oils. Whilst it looks pretty plain, inside it's actually a unique blend of 9 essential oils including Lavender, Chamomile and Eucalyptus smell like heaven in a jar to invigorate the senses. No wonder my skin feels so soft.
So if you were thinking about biting the bullet and buying the Elemis Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm, the answer is yes, you will not regret it. I've never heard of anyone who doesn't fall utterly, head in heels in love with this product. It leaves skin soft, glowing and mainly for me, it takes the chore out of taking your make up off, particularly when you cannot be bothered. You can usually grab it on offer too and it does last a long time.

Lots of love, Em x
