Elemis Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm - 100g/3.5oz

It can be used daily, both morning and night, as the first step in your skincare routine.

Yes, its oil-based formula is highly effective at dissolving and removing all types of makeup, including stubborn and waterproof mascara and eyeliner.

While it's deeply nourishing, its mineral oil-free formula means it's generally non-comedogenic. Oily skin types can benefit from oil cleansing as it helps balance natural oil production. Always rinse thoroughly.

For most users, the Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm provides a comprehensive cleanse, making a second cleanse unnecessary. However, if you wear very heavy makeup or prefer a squeaky-clean feel, you can follow with a water-based cleanser.

Info needed: [Please refer to the 'period after opening' (PAO) symbol, typically found on the product packaging (looks like an open jar with a number, e.g., '12M' for 12 months), for the precise shelf life once opened.]

The balm's distinctive aroma comes from its blend of 9 natural essential oils. The product description does not indicate the presence of synthetic fragrances or dyes, but Info needed: [Confirmation on synthetic fragrances/dyes].

Ensure you are using a sufficient amount of balm (a generous pea-size). Massage thoroughly and for a longer duration, especially over areas with heavy or waterproof makeup, before adding water to emulsify.

Make sure you fully emulsify the balm with warm water until it turns milky before rinsing. Rinse thoroughly with warm water, and consider using a warm, damp cleansing cloth to ensure all traces are removed.

While generally gentle, the balm contains a blend of essential oils. If irritation occurs, discontinue use and perform a patch test on a small area of skin before reintroducing. Consult a dermatologist if irritation persists.

This can happen in cooler environments. Take a slightly larger amount and warm it between your palms for a longer period. The natural waxes and oils will soften quickly with body heat.
