The 11 Best Elemis Products, According to Mature Skin Reviewers

Best Cleansing Balm

Elemis Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm

$75 at Amazon $72 at Sephora $75 at Ulta

Key Ingredients: Elderberry oil, padina pavonica, starflower oil, mimosa wax | Size: 3.5 oz | Cruelty-Free: Yes

There is no better feeling than taking your makeup off after a long day, and Elemis has the perfect product to simplify the process. This cleansing balm features elderberry oil and starflower oil to hydrate while melting off makeup and mimosa wax to further protect the skin. Simply take a small amount and rub it all over your face, and watch the makeup start to slip away. Reviewers love that this cleansing balm removes makeup and unclogs pores without drying out skin. The formula is pretty oil-forward, so keep that in mind and consider following this product up with a water-based cleanser if you have oily skin. 

Best Moisturizer

Elemis Pro-Collagen Marine Cream

$150 at Amazon $145 at Sephora $99 at Ulta

Key Ingredients: Padina pavonica, porphydridium cruentum, chlorella vulgaris | Size: 1.6 oz | Cruelty-Free: Yes 

If you’ve been on the hunt for a new daily moisturizer, the Pro-Collagen Marine Cream could be the missing piece. It has a lightweight and hydrating formula, which makes it the perfect last step in your morning skincare routine. It uses three types of antioxidant-rich algae to keep the skin smooth and healthy, targeting fine lines, wrinkles, and other signs of aging. The silky-satin finish on skin helps boost radiance without making you feel overly shiny.

Best Exfoliating Pads

Elemis Dynamic Resurfacing Facial Pads

$67 at Amazon $67 at Sephora $69 at Ulta

Key Ingredients: Patented tri-enzyme technology, lactic acid, probiotic ferment complex | Size: 60 pads | Cruelty-Free: Yes

If you’re looking for the 30-second version of an at-home treatment, these Dynamic Resurfacing Facial Pads are a great option. The jar comes with 60 textured exfoliating pads ( a two month supply if you use daily) that contain lactic acid to help reduce dark spots and even skin tone, as well as enzymes to deeply exfoliate without irritation. Reviewers saw results within a few weeks of use, with the skin looking noticeably smoother and brighter. 

Best Eye Cream

Elemis Pro-Collagen Vitality Eye Cream

$120 at Amazon $120 at Ulta $120 at Nordstrom

Key Ingredients: Upcycled elderflower extract, padina pavonica, hawthorn & Arabian jasmine flower essence | Size: 0.5 oz | Cruelty-Free: Yes

Dark circles, puffiness, and crow’s feet—be gone! This Pro-Collagen Vitality Eye Cream will help tackle all three and more. The formula uses natural ingredients, including nutrient-rich algae and elderflower extract, to rejuvenate the under-eye area, reducing puffiness and firming the skin. The eye cream is lightweight and nongreasy, meaning you can easily layer makeup on top of it if applied in the morning. We love this product because it helps improve skin elasticity and firmness, which is often a concern around the eye area. Simply take a pea-sized amount and gently dab around your eye with your ring finger (for minimal pressure).

Best Night Cream

Elemis Superfood Midnight Facial

$65 at Amazon $62 at Sephora $62 at Dermstore

Key Ingredients: Cocoa butter, camu camu, banana flower extract | Size: 1.69 oz | Cruelty-Free: Yes

If a thick, dreamy moisturizer was on your skincare vision board for this year, you will love the Superfood Midnight Facial. Whether you use this nightly as a moisturizer or as a once-weekly skin reset, the nourishing gel-cream formula made with cocoa butter (which boosts hydration and elasticity) and banana flower extract (known for its calming and moisturizing properties) instantly gives skin an instant pick-me-up when applied. Massage a small amount onto your face (and neck!) and watch the magic unfold. 

Best Face Oil

Elemis Superfood Facial Oil

$75 at Amazon $72 at Ulta $75 at Nordstrom

Key Ingredients: Flaxseed oil, daikon radish | Size: 0.5 oz | Cruelty-Free: Yes

On days when you feel like your skin could use a little extra TLC, we recommend reaching for the Superfood Facial Oil. This rich oil is perfect as the last step in your skincare routine to seal in all the products that came before it. The nourishing formula helps skin look radiant thanks to moisturizing flaxseed oil and squalane. A little goes a long way with this product because the oil is heavier compared to your average serum—don’t forget to bring the product down to your neck as well.

Best Face Wash

Elemis Facial Wash

$59 at Amazon $57 at Sephora $55 at Dermstore

Key Ingredients: White truffle, babassu, patented tri-enzyme technology | Size: 6.8 oz | Cruelty-Free: Yes

The Dynamic Resurfacing Face Wash checks all of the boxes for what we look for in a cleanser. It truly cleans your skin and pores without feeling overly stripping. The formula is hydrating, and it’s super easy to use thanks to a handy pump that dispenses the perfect amount of product. White truffle helps soothe and support skin, while the enzymes gently exfoliate without damaging your skin barrier. Reviewers love that the formula cleanses deeply without drying out the skin or causing irritation.

Best Body Oil

Elemis Frangipani Monoi Body Oil

$65 at Amazon $65 at Dermstore $68 at Nordstrom

Key Ingredients: Frangipani extract, monoi extract, cocos poria | Size: 3.4 oz | Cruelty-Free: Yes

When we talk about skincare, we often reference our faces. But that doesn’t mean we should ignore the rest of the body. If you’re looking to give your body some TLC, the Frangipani Monoi Body Oil leaves skin feeling super soft and hydrated. It is formulated with monoi extract, which is known for its nourishing and aromatic properties, and frangipani extract helps replenish moisture. This body oil has become a reviewer favorite due to its lightweight, nongreasy formula, as well as its lovely, tropical scent.

Best Soothing Gel

Elemis Instant Refreshing Gel

$72 at Amazon $72 at Ulta $42 at Fragrancenet.com

Key Ingredients: Arnica, camphor, menthol | Size: 5 oz | Cruelty-Free: Yes

The discomfort of sore muscles and joints can easily ruin your day, but Elemis has a product that can relieve the pain while soothing the skin. The Instant Refreshing Gel is a more sophisticated and luxurious version of the pain cream sold at the drugstore. Simply massage onto sore areas after bathing. This formula contains three ingredients that work together to bring relief—arnica and menthol help soothe and relieve strain, while camphor cools muscles and speeds up recovery. We also love that it absorbs quickly and instantly provides cooling relief to muscles that are going through it. 

Best Primer

Elemis Superfood Glow Priming Moisturiser

$65 at Amazon $65 at Ulta $62 at Dermstore

Key Ingredients: Kombucha, green tea seed oil, illuminating minerals | Size: 2 oz | Cruelty-Free: Yes

While Elemis is known best for its skincare products, this skincare-makeup hybrid primer is a standout in its collection. The Superfood Glow Priming Moisturiser provides skin with a dewy glow and locks in moisture before applying makeup. It uses kombucha to visibly brighten the skin, as well as green tea seed oil to soften and moisturize. You can just wear this formula alone as is, or you can layer makeup on top of it and see the subtle glow throughout the day. Reviewers also love that it leaves a silky finish on the skin that never feels heavy.

Best for Wrinkles

Elemis Pro-Collagen Eye Revive Mask

$96

$89 at Amazon $92 at Sephora $96 at Ulta

Key Ingredients: Padina pavonica, hyaluronic acid, watermelon snow algae, bush clover | Size: 0.5 oz | Cruelty-Free: Yes

The eye area is one of the most sensitive parts of our skin, so setting aside some time to take care of it is always a good idea. The Pro-Collagen Eye Revive Mask helps to depuff and hydrate the skin around our eyes. Its cooling texture wakes up tired eyes for a visibly firmer look and helps smooth fine lines and wrinkles thanks to a combination of hyaluronic acid, watermelon snow algae and bush clover. Reviewers love that it makes the under-eyes look noticeably refreshed within a few days, and many also noted that the formula is safe for sensitive eyes.
