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

The ELEMIS Pro-Collagen Black Cherry Cleansing Balm is a rich 3-in-1 balm that melts makeup, deep-cleans pores, and nourishes skin for a soft, hydrated finish.

Designed as the first and essential step in your skincare routine, this 100g balm transforms from a solid balm into a silky oil when warmed between the palms. It combines Optimega Oil, Starflower Oil, Elderberry Oil and Padina Pavonica to dissolve makeup, lift away grime, and replenish lipids without mineral oil. Use daily to cleanse or weekly as a masking treatment for extra nourishment.

How does the balm remove makeup and impurities?

On contact with skin, the balm melts and captures makeup, sunscreen, and surface pollutants, allowing them to be rinsed away or wiped off with a damp cloth. Its oil-based texture effectively breaks down long-wear formulas without stripping natural moisture.

• Melts into an oil to lift stubborn makeup and SPF
• Mineral oil–free formula to avoid pore-clogging ingredients
• Removes daily grime while preserving skin’s natural lipids

What key ingredients provide hydration and skin nourishment?

The formulation blends Optimega Oil and Starflower Oil to support skin barrier lipids and soothe dryness, while Elderberry Oil contributes antioxidant-rich nourishment. Padina Pavonica, a marine extract, helps maintain softness and a supple texture after cleansing.

• Optimega Oil: replenishes essential fatty acids
• Starflower Oil: calms and conditions skin surface
• Elderberry Oil & Padina Pavonica: antioxidant and marine-derived hydration support

How do you use it in a daily routine and as a mask?

Warm a pea-sized amount between clean palms, then massage over face, neck and décolleté to dissolve impurities. Remove with a damp cloth or rinse; repeat if you wear heavy makeup. For a deeper treatment, leave a thicker layer on for several minutes and remove as a nourishing weekly mask.

• Daily: pea-sized amount, massage and remove with a damp cloth
• Heavy makeup: double cleanse or repeat application for thorough removal
• Weekly mask: apply thicker layer, leave for minutes, remove for extra hydration

Will this balm suit my skin type and sensitive skin?

The balm is formulated to be gentle and hydrating, making it suitable for dry, normal, and combination skin. It’s mineral oil–free and designed to cleanse without harsh stripping, but those with very oily or acne-prone skin should patch-test first or consult their dermatologist for personal guidance.

• Gentle, nourishing profile for dry to normal skin types
• Non-mineral-oil base reduces heavy pore-clogging concerns
• Patch-test recommended for very oily or highly reactive skin

Who is this for: This cleansing balm is made for beauty lovers who want one product to remove makeup, cleanse deeply, and hydrate in one step. It’s ideal if you prefer oil-based cleansers that condition while they cleanse, want a simple ritual that doubles as a treatment, or seek a reliable first-step product that leaves skin soft and comfortable.
