Skincare has always been important to me, and with each passing year, it becomes even more essential. As my skin has changed over time, so have the products I use. I’ve shared many of my recent favorites in my post on skincare in my 40s, but today I want to focus on one brand I keep returning to year after year—Elemis. Known for their pro-collagen products, this brand quickly became a favorite of mine. In this post, I’ll share my full Elemis review, including my top products, how I use each, and why I love them so much.
What is Elemis?
For anyone who might not be familiar with the brand, here’s a brief introduction. Elemis is a global British skincare company known for its holistic approach and award-winning formulas. Their range includes everything from moisturizers and masks to muscle soaks and men’s products. The brand is committed to delivering visible and tangible results while maintaining the highest standards of quality and safety.

Elemis Review: Products I’ve Tried Over the Years
Without further ado, let’s dive in! Here’s my Elemis review of six products I’ve tried over the years—covering what I loved, what didn’t work for me, and the ones I can’t live without.
Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm
If you try just one thing from Elemis, let it be their Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm. I randomly picked up a sample size at Anthropologie a few years ago, and I’ve never looked back.
As I’ve aged, my skin needs more moisture, and any cleanser that isn’t hydrating is out for me. This Elemis Pro-Collagen cleansing balm cleanses without stripping, while simultaneously moisturizing my skin. I use it both as an everyday morning cleanser and as a makeup remover in the evenings, and I never travel without it.
A little goes a long way with this product, so you really get your bang for your buck. I’ve tried the Rose and Black Cherry versions, which offer additional benefits, but I personally prefer the fragrance-free, naked option.
Pro-Collagen Marine Cream SPF 30
My second favorite Elemis product is the Pro-Collagen Anti-Wrinkle Cream with SPF. I wear this daily as the last step in my skincare routine. I’m in the sun all the time, especially during soccer and baseball seasons—here in Florida, it’s pretty much unavoidable! I’m picky about my SPF, but this one is so hydrating and goes on smoothly without feeling greasy. Plus, I love that the Pro-Collagen formula helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles while keeping my skin nourished.
Elemis Dynamic Resurfacing Facial Pads
Next up on my Elemis review list are the Dynamic Resurfacing Facial Pads. I like to use these once or twice per week. They’re excellent for exfoliating the skin and improving overall tone. They also help me achieve that “glass skin” look I love. I especially rely on them when I’m traveling, and I’ve even been known to pack a few in little ziplocks with my carry-on essentials so I can use them on the go.
Pro-Collagen Overnight Matrix
One of the pricier, yet truly most luxurious Elemis products is the Pro-Collagen Overnight Matrix. Do I shed a little tear when it runs out because of the cost to replace it? Yes—but it’s one of those holy grail products I can’t live without now that I’ve tried it.
This wrinkle-smoothing night cream is a final step in my skincare routine, helping my skin recover overnight like nothing else does. When I use this night cream, I always wake up to soft, dewy, and revitalized skin.
Pro-Collagen Vitality Eye Cream
Another one of the final steps in my nighttime skincare routine is applying the Pro-Collagen Vitality Eye Cream. This product lasts a long time since I only pat a very small amount on each night. It lifts and brightens the eye area—something I desperately need.
Elemis Frangipani Monoi Salt Glow Body Scrub
Last up on my Elemis review list is their Salt Glow Body Scrub, which is absolutely incredible! I love using this to cleanse and exfoliate before applying a depilator on my legs—exfoliation is key if you’re going to use that (torture, lol) device. The salt scrub leaves my skin feeling soft and smooth, and I adore the scent!
Tried-and-True Elemis Products
I hope my Elemis review is helpful if you’ve been curious about trying their skincare products. Honestly, I haven’t come across any that I dislike—I’ve just narrowed it down to my favorite products and scents!
