ELEMIS Pro-Collagen Black Cherry Cleansing Balm 100g — 3-in-1 Makeup Remover & Hydrating Cleanser

ELEMIS Pro-Collagen Black Cherry Cleansing Balm is a nourishing 3-in-1 balm that melts away makeup, deeply cleanses pores, and leaves skin supple and hydrated.

From first sweep to final rinse, this balm transforms cleansing into a restorative step. Rich botanical oils and marine extract work together to dissolve cosmetics and surface impurities while restoring moisture, so skin feels comfortable—not stripped—after use. The mineral oil–free formula doubles as a daily cleanser and an intensive weekly mask for a clean, soft finish.

How does this balm remove makeup without drying the skin?

The balm converts from a solid to a silky oil on contact with skin, effectively lifting waterproof and long-wear makeup without harsh rubbing. It rinses away with a damp cloth or water, leaving a hydrated feel thanks to nourishing oils and emollients.

• Optimega Oil blends to dissolve makeup while supporting barrier lipids.
• Starflower and Elderberry oils replenish moisture during cleansing.
• Mineral oil–free formulation avoids pore-clogging residues.
• Soft, balm-to-oil texture minimizes friction on delicate skin.

What ingredients give it hydrating and nourishing effects?

Key plant and marine extracts are selected to condition skin as they cleanse. Padina Pavonica, a Mediterranean algae, partners with botanical oils to smooth and comfort, while lightweight carrier oils deliver lasting softness without heaviness.

• Padina Pavonica: marine extract that helps soothe and support skin texture.
• Starflower Oil: rich in fatty acids for replenishment and suppleness.
• Elderberry Oil: antioxidant-rich botanical oil for nourishment.
• Optimega Oil complex: targeted blend designed for skin comfort after cleansing.

How do I use the balm for best results—daily or as a mask?

Use a pea-sized amount warmed between your palms and massage over dry face, neck, and décolleté to dissolve makeup and impurities. Remove with a damp cloth or rinse; for a deeper treatment, leave on for several minutes as a mask before rinsing.

• Daily cleanse: warm pea-sized amount, massage, remove with damp cloth.
• Makeup removal: focus on eyes and lips with gentle circular motions.
• Weekly mask: apply, leave 3–5 minutes, then remove for an extra-conditioning boost.
• Suitable for routine double-cleanse steps when paired with a water-based cleanser.

Will this work for different skin types, including sensitive skin?

The balm is formulated to clean gently while keeping moisture intact, making it suitable for a wide range of skin types. Because it does not rely on mineral oils and includes calming marine and botanical extracts, many find it effective even when skin leans dry or reactive.

• Dry skin: delivers emollient support to reduce tightness after cleansing.
• Combination/oily skin: melts sebum and makeup without heavy residue.
• Sensitive skin: gentle texture and soothing extracts help minimize irritation.
• Always patch-test if you have very reactive skin or known sensitivities.

Who is this for: ELEMIS Pro-Collagen Black Cherry Cleansing Balm suits beauty lovers who want a multi-tasking cleanser that removes makeup thoroughly while caring for skin hydration. It’s ideal for those who prefer a balm-to-oil texture, anyone looking to simplify their cleansing routine, and users who want both a daily gentle cleanse and an occasional nourishing mask. Use it as the first step of an evening routine to lift away cosmetics and pollutants, or as a pampering weekly treatment when skin needs extra conditioning.
