ELEMIS Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm Makeup Remover, Hydrating Facial Cleanser, Oil Cleanser, Oil Makeup Remover, Deep Cleanse

I love this product! It leaves my skin hydrated and soft like no other cleanser. My only issue is the price for the tiny size, but considering the quality, scent, and how it makes my skin feel, I will continue to buy it. The consistency is thick when you apply to dry skin, and begins to melt as you rub it in. Once full face is covered, you add water to hands and lather all over. It does not foam up like soap, but turns into a milky consistency, then you rinse and pat dry. Absolutely love it!Update: I broke down and decided to buy the bigger size (3.5 oz) and was on sale on Amazon. The bigger size although higher in price, costs less per oz than the small one I got (less than 1oz). Again, it was on sale when I got it so it was around $58. Worth every penny!

This balm smells amazing and feels so good on your skin. It’s expensive but worth it.

I received this product as a gift from my daughter. I was skeptical at first that it would make any difference to my seventy five year old skin. When i opened it, I thought it would be like putting vaseline on, but I was wrong.After using it for a few days I saw a difference. It removed my eye makeup and it left my skin feeling softer than it had in years. It seems to melt on your skin and leave you with a silky glow. I just purchased my second jar. It’s not cheap. It does come in two sized. I purchased the smaller jar for my sister who is eighty two. She liked it so much that she just bought the larger size.

The product is moisturizing and removes my face makeup. However, I notice that I still have eyemake up around my eyes after using this cleanser (I only use mascara and eyeliner and neither are waterproof). Maybe I need to use more product or scrub a little harder? But it hasn’t been fully removing my eye makeup but a second cleanse usually removes the rest. It doesn’t irritate my eyes, which is nice. I’m just not sure its worth it for the price.

I love this cleansing balm. The scent is lovely and it emulsifies well. Cleans but doesn't strip. Feels luxurious. It is very pricey though so only buy occasionally and only buy the smaller size, which still lasts for a while. Wish they had a mid-size. $60 for large size is too steep for me.

Cleansing balms are great for make up removal super gentle on the skin, but leaves a moisturized feeling only takes a little goes a long way.

I was a little hesitant because it has a strong smell, pleasant like a spa smell but intense. But it leaves my face feeling soooo soft and feeling very refreshed. I will be purchasing full size.

I usually buy this from Dermstore or Ulta, but this was priced much lower and sold directly from Amazon, who Elemis lists as a retailer as of 7/18/2022. It's a long time favorite skin care item and typically removes makeup like a charm and has done wonders for my skin. It's been perfect in my dry climate and I saw improved texture and reduced breakouts after a few weeks of use. I initially balked at the price, but a few years ago I splurged. After realizing a full size usually lasts close to 6 months, it became my go to night time cleanser.Worth noting that some claim the small size is a better deal, but when comparing product amount by weight, the large size is definitely the better price per oz or gram. 3 small containers do not equal the large size amount.While I love the product, I'm not sure if this particular container is the real deal, or if there are storage issues with Amazon. The consistency and scent seems a bit off in this jar, like maybe it's old stock or wasn't stored properly. The bottom label is slightly different, which may just be a normal change. It seems that the Poids Net verbiage is gone, so I don't know if there are changes to product made specifically for the US market versus product that is also sold in Canada/EU. It may just be a label change, they happen.This jar is a bit oilier than usual in the container. It's normally quite solid in the jar and then emulsifies when applied. This jar is not exactly separated, but definitely softer in the container than I'm used to seeing. Photos show the label of my empty and the new jar from Amazon along with a new travel size purchased from Ulta next to the recent Amazon purchase. Following the Amazon link from the approved e-tailers listed on Elemis, this is where you land if you select Pro-Collagen Cleansing balm. Other than the bottom label, the packaging, insert, and included washcloth all appeared to be identical to past purchases made elsewhere.The original is lavender and eucalyptus scented, and while often bothered by fragrance, it has never irritated my skin, caused breakouts, or been an issue. I've purchased both the original and unscented versions in the past. The jar from Amazon doesn't seem to be as fragrant as usual, which is not necessarily a problem. I probably should have started a return, but I was out, and it arrived before the travel size. That said, I've been using it without any ill effects. I assume it's legit, but again, not sure if it's backstock or if Amazon's warehouse temps are creating the difference in consistency.The usual product is phenomenal, and as someone who believes that cleanser is usually the least likely to have real benefit, I've been proven incorrect by Elemis balm. I'm just not sure this is the best place to purchase it and will likely go back to other retailers to restock. It's great for double cleansing, however, if rinsed and then followed by a damp washcloth, it comes off completely. I've been using this method for a few years now and it seems to work better for me than a double cleanse. I've used many Elemis products, and frankly, this is the only one I've repurchased. The other products are fine, but there are plenty of less expensive options that work just as well or better for my skin type. I've tried other cleansing balms but keep coming back to this.Bottom line, long time skin care fave, but I think there are better places to buy it despite the lower price.
