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

I’ve been dealing with the beginnings of perimenopause and some of the changes that come along with it: random dryness and oiliness, larger pores, random breakouts, etc. I originally got this in an Ipsy bag and loved it and the smell. The benefits to my skin have been the best part though. My pores are tighter, my skin feels soft and supple, and I’m not having the breakouts that I had before. This is nothing short of amazing!

I have used this balm for several years. Worth every penny. Melts ALL my makeup off. Even waterproof mascara. My skin feels clean and never dried out. I have rosacea and this balm never burns or inflamed my skin. Can't say enough how much I love this product.

I used to skip around and try different products but this one really is for me. I use it to take my make up off and my skin is soft, cleaner is great, and it last a long while.

I have only used this one time so far but I really liked it. I did buy it when it was on sale because I don't think I would have bought it at the full price because it seems pretty pricey to me. The only complaint I have is it doesn't exactly smell the best, seems to me they could make it smell a little better. We'll see if I continue to like it, but probably won't buy it again till I find it on sale!

Great cleanser. It is very gentle and does not strip skin of any moisture. I would not recommend for acne prone skin. It smells lightly of rose but does not linger on your skin.

Alright so I know this expensive but with subscribe and save you can save 15 percent, which is the best deal you can consistently get unless you want to stock up on prime days or Black Friday, which I do not because I’m trying to cut down on clutter.I have dry, sensitive skin and this balm/cleanser/mask is non negotiable in my routine. I use this as a hydrating mask in the mornings and then remove with a washcloth. Makes a huge difference in dry patches and the overall comfort of my face throughout the day. I had resilient, oily skin until I turned 35 so having this gem makes it easier for me to learn how to take care of my changing skin without feeling like it is too small for my skull.I wear tinted water resistant sunscreens and waterproof mascaras and this removes everything like a dream. I do give myself a little massage as the balm melts into my skin and then add water to rinse everything away. I have found that taking the time to massage the balm into an oil gets everything off my face and I do not need to double cleanse.Since I use this product as a 3 in 1 I find the price very reasonable and it cuts down on counter clutter. Subscribe and save gives a great year round discount. If you have reactive or dry skin, give this a shot and use all 3 functions to see how it works for you. I honestly wish I had tried this sooner.

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.

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.
