Benefits of ELEMIS Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm
Gently removes daily buildup and impurities
Lifts sunscreen, pollution, excess oil, and makeup without harsh rubbing or tightness.
Leaves skin soft, comfortable, and hydrated
Oil-based cleansing supports the skin barrier, so skin feels cushioned and calm after rinsing.
Supports a clear, radiant-looking complexion
By dissolving pore-clogging debris, skin looks smoother, more even, and refreshed.

The sensorial texture and aromatic essential oils create a spa-like experience without feeling heavy or greasy.
Who it’s for
Suitable for normal, dry, and combination skin, and well tolerated by many with sensitive skin when patch tested. Oily skin types can also benefit, as oil-based cleansers bind to excess sebum for a balanced cleanse. Ideal for anyone seeking a gentle yet thorough daily cleanser, with or without makeup.

Product overview
Texture and transformation
The balm starts as a rich solid, melts into a silky oil during massage, and emulsifies into a lightweight milk when water is added. It rinses clean without residue, leaving skin refreshed and conditioned.
Key ingredients and benefits
Padina Pavonica, a marine algae, helps support the skin’s moisture barrier and hydration. Elderberry and Starflower oils nourish and soften the skin. Optimega oils, including chia seed, replenish lipids and enhance comfort. An essential oil blend of lavender, chamomile, and eucalyptus delivers a calming, sensorial cleanse.
Tips for best results
For a double cleanse, use the balm first to break down sunscreen and impurities, then follow with a gentle gel or cream cleanser.
As a nourishing mask, apply a thicker layer to clean, dry skin, leave on for 10 minutes, then emulsify and rinse.
Use lukewarm water and a soft cloth to enhance removal and minimize irritation.
