Elemis Pro-Collagen Black Cherry Cleansing Balm Review
Today, I’m bringing you a review of the brand new limited edition Elemis Pro-Collagen Black Cherry Cleansing Balm. As a big fan of Elemis cleansing balms, I couldn’t resist trying this latest launch. Now, let me tell you more about my experience with it.
It’s made of the same formula as the original cleansing balm. The formula contains a blend of emollients rich in fatty acids, such as sweet almond oil, black elderberry oil, shea butter, borage seed oil, Optimega™ Oil (a blend of wheatgerm and oat oils), jojoba oil, and coconut oil to soften and moisturise the skin. Additionally, a blend of lecithin, padina pavonica extract, glycerin, and cocoyl hydrolyzed collagen (which combines fatty acids from coconut oil with hydrolyzed collagen) helps improve the skin’s moisture retention, keeping it hydrated.
Like all Elemis cleansing balms, this one has an absolutely perfect texture. It is rich and velvety, melting effortlessly into the skin and transforming from a balm to an oil with just the warmth of your fingers. While its main purpose is to remove makeup, I love using it to give my face a mini massage, which helps with lymphatic drainage and leaves my skin feeling firmer and more lifted. When you add water, the balm turns into a cleansing milk, effectively breaking down makeup and SPF. It rinses off easily without leaving any residue behind. To ensure a thorough cleanse, I always follow up with a gel or cream cleanser as part of my double cleansing routine.
I’m already a huge fan of the Elemis Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm. It effortlessly removes even the most stubborn eye makeup while being incredibly gentle and doesn’t sting my eyes. It’s a product I always return to, and it never dries out my skin, instead leaving it feeling soft, smooth, and refreshed. What’s more, this balm doesn’t cause any breakouts or irritation, which is a bonus!
The standout feature of the Elemis Pro-Collagen Black Cherry Cleansing Balm is the black cherry fragrance. It’s a sweet, juicy blend of black cherry, almond, and vanilla that feels delightful but never overpowering. In fact, it’s more subtle than the OG. It seems quite mild when you first open the lid, but as you warm the balm between your palms and apply it to your face, the scent really comes through. It reminds me of cherry-flavoured sweets from childhood, and I’m honestly in love with this scent.
To sum it up, I was pretty sure that the Elemis Pro-Collagen Black Cherry Cleansing Balm wouldn’t disappoint, but it ended up exceeding all my expectations. I find its scent absolutely divine, and I really hope they make it permanent.

Love it! Ordered with your discount as soon as it landed at Lookfantastic. The scent is probably my new favourite, though I’m also really into the fig one.
