am so excited to be writing this ELEMIS Review! The ELEMIS Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm has been all the rage over the past few months. I was hoping to snag one during the last Sephora sale, but they don’t carry ELEMIS. I decided to wait and see if it was worth the investment before purchasing from their site. Because I am very cautious about spending money on luxury skincare, I wanted to see what the product reviews were like before I made the leap.
Happily, ELEMIS was kind enough to send me a few of their top-performing products to share with my audience. I received the Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm, along with the Superfood Facial Oil, the Pro-Collagen Marine Cream SPF30, the Dynamic Resurfacing Facial Pads, and the Pro-Collagen Eye Revive Mask. In this review, I will share my experience using each of these products, and let you know if each one is something I would personally spend my money on.
ELEMIS Product Review – History of ELEMIS
But first, let me give you some more background on the brand. ELEMIS is a luxury skincare brand that was founded in London in 1989, so they’ve been around for quite a while. The brand made its presence known in the United States in 2018 when it launched in ULTA Beauty stores. Last year, ELEMIS was named The Best Premium Skincare Brand by the UK publication The Sunday Times Style. ELEMIS products promote skin wellness by working with our skin’s natural microflora and contain ingredients that are clinically proven to be effective.
The other key differentiating factor in this brand is their use of aromatherapy to engage all of the senses. You will notice this when you try any of their products, that there is a light fragrance that doesn’t feel overpowering and makes you feel like you are spending the day at the spa. This makes total sense when you realize that ELEMIS has its own day spa in London and their products are used in spas all over the United States. Finally, all of their products are developed in London, and ELEMIS makes safety and quality a priority. You can read more about the ELEMIS story
My Overall Experience with ELEMIS Products
Now, getting to the individual products themselves, I have had about a week to test out all of the products that I was sent, and I will say that I was pleasantly surprised. When you think about plunking down $30-$128 on a skincare product, you better hope that it is worth the money. I have to say that every single product that I received was amazing. The textures are so rich that a little bit goes a long way, so that jar of face cream can make that $128 stretch for a couple of months.
I also noticed a positive difference in the texture and hydration of my skin after using these products, and though I am usually sensitive to fragrance, none of these products have irritated my skin (yet). I was kind of hoping that some products I received would be fragrance-free, but I guess the aromatherapy fragrance is all a part of the ELEMIS experience. At the time of posting, there is a Naked Cleansing Balm available that is specifically fragrance-free for all of you out there with sensitive skin! Without further ado, here is the ELEMIS skincare product review.
I received the regular Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm. They also have Rose, Neroli, Mint Water and the fragrance-free naked cleansing balms as well, for the same price. This product is the brand’s number one best selling product. It acts as a balm, cleansing oil and cleansing milk all in one. It is mineral oil-free and contains 9 essential oils for the ultimate spa experience. When you open the jar, the product is semi-solid, kind of like the texture of lip balm. I used a large pea-sized amount and massaged the product into my face. It smells good and feels relaxing in the moment, but I do notice that it does feel like oil sitting on top of my face. It does not absorb into the skin.
I was worried for a moment, because the directions say to just rinse with the provided cloth and warm water, and I was concerned that an oily film would be left behind that I would then have to wash off with a traditional cleanser. Thankfully, this was not the case. The cleansing balm rinsed clean, and just left my face feeling soft and hydrated. No greasy residue was left behind. In terms of makeup removal, I don’t know if I was just not aggressive enough with the massaging or if I did not use enough product, but I still had some makeup left behind. To really feel good about clearing the skin of makeup residue, I would double cleanse either with using this product twice or following this product with a less expensive traditional cleanser.
Overall Verdict: Buy (if it’s in your budget)
I can definitely see what all of the hype is about. It feels nice, but I think it is a lot of money to put down for a cleansing balm. It is really gentle and keeps skin hydrated, so if you’re prone to dry skin but want to really clean your skin well, this might be a great product for you.
