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

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

This cult-favourite cleansing balm acts as the opening step in a thoughtful skincare regimen: it dissolves long-wear makeup, lifts surface impurities and nourishes the skin barrier with a blend of antioxidant-rich oils. Formulated without mineral oil and enriched with Optimega Oil, Starflower Oil, Elderberry Oil and Padina Pavonica, the balm converts from a solid to an oil on contact, making removal quick and effective while maintaining skin comfort.

How does this balm remove makeup without stripping skin?

The balm’s emollient-rich texture turns into a cleansing oil when warmed between your fingers, breaking down waterproof and long-wear cosmetics while leaving natural oils intact. Because it’s mineral oil-free and contains nourishing plant-derived oils, it clears residue without over-drying.

• Solid-to-oil formula that emulsifies on contact for gentle makeup dissolution
• Optimega and Starflower Oils replenish lipids and support skin softness
• Removes grime and sunscreen as well as pigments and mascara
• Rinses away with a damp cloth for a clean, non-tight finish

Can I use it daily and how much should I apply?

Yes—use it each morning or evening as your first cleanse. A pea-sized amount is sufficient when warmed between the palms, and a little goes a long way because of the balm’s concentrated, melting consistency.

• Daily use as first cleanse for removing makeup and SPF
• Pea-sized amount warmed in palms before application
• Massage over face, neck and décolleté to dissolve impurities
• Remove with a damp cloth; use slightly more for heavier makeup

What skin benefits come from the active ingredients?

The formula blends botanical oils and marine extracts to hydrate and help maintain the skin’s natural barrier. Ingredients like Elderberry Oil provide antioxidant support while Padina Pavonica and Optimega Oil contribute smoothing and nourishing properties for a more comfortable after-feel.

• Elderberry Oil supplies antioxidant-rich nourishment
• Padina Pavonica supports smoothing and skin tone clarity
• Optimega and Starflower Oils replenish essential lipids
• Mineral oil-free base for a lighter, more plant-focused profile

Can the balm be used as a mask?

Yes—the product doubles as a treatment mask when left on for a short period. Apply a slightly thicker layer and allow the oils to sink in for targeted nourishment before removing with a warm damp cloth for a deeper conditioning effect.

• Use daily as a cleanser or weekly as a nourishing facial mask
• Apply thicker layer for a 5–10 minute conditioning boost
• Remove with warm damp cloth to leave skin smooth and supple
• Suits ritual use in your evening self-care routine

Who is this for: The ELEMIS Pro-Collagen Black Cherry Cleansing Balm is ideal for anyone seeking an effective first cleanse that removes heavy makeup and sunscreen without drying the skin. It’s well suited to normal, dry, combination and mature skin types that benefit from added nourishment, plus users who prefer a mineral oil-free, multi-use cleansing product with a luxurious texture.
