Dry Skin & Hydration
Ready to fall in love at first scoop? Meet the No. 1 British facial cleanser.* Perfected through 45 formulations, Elemis's award-winning original cleansing balm combines a luxurious 3-in-1 texture with visible skin-enhancing results. The essential first step in your daily ritual, Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm is clinically proven to melt away waterproof and long-wear makeup, strengthen the skin’s barrier, and deliver instant hydration.^ A trio of nourishing plant oils, including elderberry, Optimega™ and bee-friendly starflower oil, combined with Elemis's superhero algae padina pavonica, promote soft, hydrated, and glowing skin. Journey through three indulgent textures in one. The rich balm melts into a luxurious oil when gently massaged into the skin, before transforming into a hydrating milk on contact with water. The unique formula can be left on as a deep-cleansing and softening facial mask. Our signature blend of 9 essential oils, including lavender, chamomile and eucalyptus, invigorates the senses. Unwind and relax whilst you treat your skin to a spa experience at home. Mineral oil-free formula. To reduce Elemis's global footprint, Elemis will no longer be including cleansing cloths in any new packs produced from October 2023. *Source: Circana (UK) Ltd, Retail Tracking Service, Prestige Skincare Facial Cleanser Value and Unit Sales by Franchise, Prestige Brand Classificatio

Clinics in Dermatology, 2012 · systematic-review
Review of how moisturizers affect the epidermal barrier: humectants such as glycerin increase stratum corneum hydration and can strengthen barrier function and resistance to irritation, although effects depend on formulation and some moisturizers may weaken the barrier; supports well-formulated glycerin-containing emollients for dry, barrier-impaired skin.
British Journal of Dermatology, 2008 · systematic-review
Review establishing glycerin as the gold standard humectant: attracts water to stratum corneum via hydrogen bonding, improves skin mechanical properties (elasticity, pliability), enhances desmosome degradation for smooth desquamation, and modulates aquaporin-3 channels; effective at 2-20% in topical formulations
Dermatologic Therapy, 2004 · systematic-review
Comprehensive review of moisturization mechanisms: glycerin contributes to corneocyte hydration by replacing lost natural moisturizing factor (NMF) components; maintains stratum corneum fluidity at low humidity; superior humectant performance vs propylene glycol, sorbitol, and urea in controlled comparisons
