ELEMIS Pro-Collagen Original Cleansing Balm 100g — 3-in-1 makeup remover, hydrating balm-to-milk cleanser

ELEMIS Pro-Collagen Original Cleansing Balm is a 3-in-1 balm cleanser that melts away makeup and impurities while nourishing and softening skin in one gentle step.

This nourishing balm acts as the first essential step in your skincare ritual: it dissolves long-wear makeup and grime, hydrates with rich oils, and can be worked into a mask for extra comfort. Formulated without mineral oil, it blends lavender, chamomile and eucalyptus with elderberry, starflower and Optimega oils to lift impurities while leaving skin feeling conditioned rather than stripped. The texture transforms from a solid balm to a silky oil and then to a milky emulsion when rinsed away, making it simple and sensorial to use.

How do I use the balm for everyday cleansing?

Warm a pea-sized amount between your palms until it softens, then massage across the face, neck and décolleté for at least 60 seconds to dissolve makeup and surface debris. Remove with a damp cloth or rinse thoroughly to reveal clean, soothed skin.

• Start with dry skin to let the balm pick up makeup and SPF.
• Massage in small circular motions for at least one minute to lift impurities.
• Use a warm damp cloth to gently remove residue or rinse with lukewarm water.

Can this balm replace my regular cleanser and a weekly mask?

Yes — it functions as a daily cleanser and can be used as a deeply nurturing mask when left on for several minutes. Its concentrated oils soften and nourish, offering a flexible two-in-one step depending on your routine.

• Daily: quick massage and remove for efficient cleansing.
• Weekly: leave on for 5–10 minutes to let oils condition skin deeper.
• Works well as the first step in double-cleansing for heavier makeup.

What skin types benefit most from this product?

The balm suits a wide range of skin types—normal, dry, combination and aging skin respond particularly well to its hydrating, non-stripping formula. Because it removes impurities without harsh surfactants, it’s a good choice for skin that needs gentle care and moisture retention.

• Dry skin: replenishes lipids and reduces tightness after cleansing.
• Combination skin: dissolves oil-based makeup without over-drying zones.
• Mature skin: comforting texture helps maintain softness and comfort.

What ingredients are in the formula and what do they do?

The formulation combines aromatic essences with conditioning oils to cleanse, soothe and hydrate. Lavender, chamomile and eucalyptus foster a calming ritual, while elderberry, starflower and Optimega oils deliver emollience and skin nourishment.

• Lavender & chamomile: calming botanicals to comfort skin during cleansing.
• Eucalyptus: provides a fresh sensory note and helps clarify skin feel.
• Elderberry & starflower oils: leave skin feeling soft and conditioned.
• Optimega oil blend: supports lipid replenishment and smooth texture.

Who is this for? If you want a single, luxurious step that removes makeup, cleanses pores and leaves skin supple, this balm is designed for you. It’s ideal for beauty lovers who prefer a tactile cleanse, people who wear long-wear makeup or SPF daily, and anyone who wants a gentler alternative to foam cleansers. Use it alone for efficient daily cleansing, as the first step in a double-cleanse, or weekly as a nourishing mask to add moisture and softness back into skin.
