Pro-Collagen Black Cherry Cleansing Balm 100g

"The cleansing balm that melts your mascara and smells like cherry pie."
Our take

$75 Price at ELEMIS, checked Nov 2026.

The short answer

Yes if you wear long-wear makeup or SPF and want a first cleanse that feels like a treat. It's ELEMIS's cult balm in a black cherry and vanilla scent, melting from balm to oil to milk. It removes makeup well and leaves skin comfortable. Fragrance-sensitive skin should pick the original or something unscented.

Massage a scoop onto dry skin, add a splash of water to emulsify, then rinse or remove with a warm cloth. Follow with your second cleanser if you double cleanse.

Our Take

Why it made the edit.

Why we love it: It takes off stubborn mascara without tugging, and the 100g jar lasts months.
Skip it if: Your skin reacts to fragrance, or you don't wear makeup or SPF.
The catch: $75 for a cleanser, and the scent is strong. The 20g at $19 is a smart first try.
