Elemis Pro-Collagen Facial Cleansing Balm - 3.5 oz

I literally never leave reviews but feel I have to for this product. I have suffered from acne for 8 years and have tried everything under the sun to clear it (including two courses of roaccutane and cutting out wheat+dairy) however nothing has worked for long. My sister recommended me this cleansing balm and the marine cream. I was sceptical as I've lost faith after so long, and balms don't usually suit my skin that well, but I was willing to try anything! Thankfully I took her advice as these two products have honestly transformed my skin. It has never looked so clear, even and blemish-free. I have had so many compliments about my skin and have even been feeling brave enough to leave the house make up free (which I NEVER do). Everyone needs to try these products, I will never use anything else now!!

I have been struggling with mask acne lately and my normal face wash wasn't helping at all. My mom recommended using this as she loves it, i was nervous due to always having sensitive skin, but after 2 weeks I am obsessed and my skin is looking beautiful and acne is going away!

Smells great, not too strong. When you first apply, it is oily as it melts on your skin, but unlike other cleansing oils, this one doesn't feel excessive.

I ADORE this product, from a very fussy girl with skincare due to oily skin this is a dream. It literally slides your make off with a pea sized amount and your face feels literally cleanest it's ever been. The smell of the product is also to die for. Literally nailed this one Elemis.

I never leave reviews, but I have been using this cleansing balm for just over a year now and I can honestly say it has changed my skin and overall complexion. I cleanse with this every night after I have taken my makeup off with micellar water. I then use this balm and leave it on for a few minutes before I remove it using a hot flannel. It feels soo luxurious on the skin and smells just like a spa. My skin feels so soft and has such a glow to it after. 10000% worth the price and will continue to use this throughout my life!

This cleansing balm has a lovely smooth texture, it is very effective at removing make-up and leaves the skin moisturised. The only down-side for me is that it has a lot of highly fragranced essential oils. Some are OK, but the addition of menthol makes it unsuitable for using near the eye. Why would you put menthol in a cleansing product which would otherwise have made an effective eye-makeup remover? Who wants mentholated products near their eyes? Who wants a cleanser that can't be used near the eyes? I don't get it.

I purchased this as part of a set and had read all the rave reviews. The gel does work and it's great that it can be used as a face mask. BUT the smell is overwhelming and this removes any relaxing quality. I find it smells like chemicals and I almost fear damage to my skin because it smells so harsh. Not a fan which is such a shame

Product did not come with the cleansing cloth that was shown in photos? I returned it as it was not what was advertised.

Unfortunately after using this product for a few months it has had a negative impact on my skin. It does not remove the dirt etc and left my skin greasy.

Unfortunately it made me break out. I knew there was a chance this could happen since I'm super sensitive to fragrance, but I was still hopeful. I ended up giving it to one of my friends who absolutely loves it. Sad it didn't work for me but others have said what a great product it is so I'm still glad I tried it!
