What the gurus are saying

Gurus consistently praise this balm for its effective makeup and sunscreen removal, smooth melting texture, and luxurious sensory experience. It leaves skin soft and hydrated without greasiness. The main drawback is the premium price point at $72 per 100ml, with reviewers noting it cleanses no better than cheaper alternatives but justifies the cost as a ritualistic, spa-like experience rather than a performance advantage.

"This is the Elmus Pro Collagen Cleansing Balm. It's pricey. $72 for 100 ml jar. That's not cheap, okay? But it is luxurious. This balm to oil texture that literally melts away your makeup, your SPF, all the junk from your face. It leaves your skin super soft, smooth, hydrated, not greasy, not tight. The key ingredients here are the English rose oolio extract, the elderberry oil, and padina pavonica. It's more than just a makeup remover. For me it's like a ritual. I love the smell. I love the feel. You apply it to dry skin. The way it goes on, the way it smells, the way it cleans. It's just something special for me. The Elmus has this really rich texture, the nourishing oils, has this aroma therapy level scent. I really like scents in some of the skincare, which is really an experience for me. So if you want your cleanser to feel like a mini spa moment, this one's worth the price for that purpose. But is it going to clean better than a less expensive option? No, it is not."

"This cleansing balm is my favorite by far. It's the best way to start winding down for the night. It just melts into my skin, removes all traces of makeup, eye makeup, SPF, anything from my skin that I've collected throughout the day is going to be melted off with it. The key point with the cleansing balm is to make sure to apply it to dry skin, lather it in really good, and then wipe it off and wash it with water. The key ingredients in this one is the English rose oolio extract, the elderberry oil, the padina pavonica. It's my go-to for the cleansing balm. It's a must try."

"I really love the Elmus Pro Collagen Cleansing Balm. I use this a lot, especially if I have a lot of makeup on or I'm using really thick, waterresistant sunscreens that are a little bit more difficult to remove at the end of the day. That's when I will opt for a cleansing balm or even a cleansing oil. But I've actually been using this the most and I really love this. So, if you're looking for a good cleansing balm, this one is really good."
