Elemis Pro-Collagen Green Fig Cleansing Balm Review & Swatches
Elemis Pro-Collagen Green Fig Cleansing Balm ($20-$68) is a new and sadly, limited-edition release of the popular Elemis Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm with a new green fig fragrance that launched for Fall 2023. I used to be a very heavy user of Elemis Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm and it was one of my very favorite formulas and I started using Farmacy Green Clean (and more recently Tatcha The Indigo Cleansing Balm) and I somehow forgot how much I loved this. I’m happy to say even though this was “LE” it’s still very much around and you can snag it on sale during the Dermstore Anniversary Sale.

I’ve been using this for about a week and a half now and I just forgot. I dunno how but I did. I forgot how rich and thick and lovely and moisturizing and beautifully formulated Pro Collagen Cleansing Balm is. Ugh I love it.
If you never used the Elemis Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm formula let me just give you the scoop! This cleansing balm comes in a few different sizes with the largest being 3.52 oz for $68 and the smallest being 0.70 oz for $17. They also have a jumbo size and a more medium size which is 1.76 oz for $40. This balm comes in the original formula and the rose one. And from time to time they do a limited-edition one like Summer Bloom or this one, Green Fig.
If you have dry skin, if you have aging skin, or just like the ritual of taking care of your skin and ensuring it’s extra clean I’d recommend this formula. It’s super thick, it’s super emollient, it’s very rich, and luxurious feeling. A little goes a very long way. I’d go so far as the liken to Vaseline in consistency which I realize doesn’t sound appealing but no worries it rinses clean away when water is added. I’m a slugger so this consistency is absolutely luxurious to me as I’m all about richer, heavier formula.
As with all cleansing balms you’ll want to use this on a dry face. Simply scoop a small amount out, massage it into your skin, and add a bit of water to emulsify it. When water is added the formula will quickly break down at which point you can add more water to rinse it off. It rinses clean away, leaves your skin super smooth, lightly hydrated but never stripped or tight. I dunno how I forgot how much I loved this stuff but sometimes when you trying new things you forget the old ones you loved so dearly. I’m so glad this popped into my life again as it truly is one of the best cleansing balms on the market. It just makes washing your face an experience. It removes makeup very easily as well even waterproof mascara. The new fragrance is Green Fig which is a green, earthy fragrance. It smells quite lovely and spa-like which makes the experience of washing your face rather calming.
If you take joy in washing your makeup off at the end of the day and you’re looking for super clean skin without having to deal with dryness or tightness I can’t recommend the Elemis Pro-Collagen Green Fig Cleansing Balm enough! This is a keeper.
Elemis Pro-Collagen Green Fig Cleansing Balm is available now! I just wish this scent wasn’t LE.
