The Elemis Ppro-collagen cleansing balm (was £52, now £36.65, Amazon.co.uk) is a masterclass in luxury make-up removal, effortlessly dissolving even waterproof mascara and long-wear brow gels. The only downside? The premium price tag.

That’s why today’s 30 per cent discount for Amazon Prime Day (we have rounded up the best deals here) is one you don’t want to miss – especially since the sale ends at midnight tonight. This is your final chance to grab the cult-favourite balm for £15.35 less, a price we haven’t seen since March 2025.

The indulgent formula blends sweet almond, oat and coconut oils with nine essential oils, including calming chamomile, lavender and eucalyptus – it’s like a spa treatment in a jar. While the balm comes in cherry, fig, rose and unscented versions, the original remains unmatched.

Act fast before you miss out as once the sale ends, this rare saving will vanish and the full price returns.

Elemis pro-collagen cleansing balm

For those unacquainted with the iconic formula, it has a texture like sorbet and transforms into a silky oil under the heat of your fingers. Unlike a gel cleanser, the pro-collagen balm allows you to give your lashes a massage without the fear of stinging or irritation.

If you’re a mascara wearer, that means no dragging a micellar-soaked cotton pad over your face and no post-wash panda eyes – you can simply sweep away the fibres with a warm flannel. While essential oils should be avoided if you’re pregnant, this formula is largely calming thanks to its key ingredient: padina pavonica.

Though its name sounds like a spell out of Harry Potter, this saltwater algae is known for its hydrating, skin-softening properties. It offers excellent protection against UV and pollution, and it can even have anti-ageing efficacy, as it helps to protect your natural collagen stores.

When testing the best cleansers, Ella Duggan found that the balm can “aid skin’s elasticity and create a visibly smoother complexion.” After use, Ella loved that her “skin felt smooth and was left with a velvety texture.” Whether you know someone deserving of a pampering or fancy a little self-care, this 30 per cent price drop certainly warrants a treat.
