There are very few skincare brands that I would say are universally loved. Sure, there might be one particular name that crops up over and over again, dipping in and out of popularity as new product launches come and go, but for a brand to have a reputation that refuses to falter no matter what? Virtually unheard of. However, there is one exception. In all my time working in the beauty industry, I can’t recall a single negative word being said about Elemis.
Responsible for producing spa-like skincare products that champion natural ingredients blended with high-tech science, Elemis is the number one "anti-ageing" skincare brand in the UK for good reason. Mainly, it’s because its Pro-Collagen range is just so unbelievably good. Loved by celebrities like Victoria Beckham, beauty editors and just about anyone who has ever tried it, the Elemis Pro-Collagen collection works to plump, smooth and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles using powerful marine and plant ingredients.
It’s likely that you will have heard of at least one of the Pro-Collagen products before. For example, both the Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm and Pro-Collagen Marine Cream are not only considered cult products, but they have also won a ton of prestigious beauty awards. It’s no wonder, therefore, that some of Hollywood’s biggest names swear by some of Pro-Collagen’s hero products.
Ahead, we've rounded up our favourite products from the lineup to help you get an A-list glow at home.
1. Elemis Pro-Collagen Marine Cream SPF30
Quite possibly one of Elemis’s most-loved products, Marine Cream might come with a rather hefty price tag, but the results look expensive, too. With padina pavonica and ginkgo biloba, the moisturiser works to dramatically boost hydration and elasticity to leave skin looking taut and firm. Plus, it also includes SPF 30 to help protect skin from any sun damage.
This hard-working moisturiser is a favourite amongst beauty editors and celebrities too. In fact, before the Golden Globes in 2015, Kate Hudson took to Instagram to share her pre–red carpet beauty products of choice. In her lineup sat Elemis Pro-Collagen Marine Cream.
2. Elemis Pro-Collagen Hydra-Gel Eye Masks
Eyes can really give the game away if you're feeling tired, but these cooling eye gels work to tighten, hydrate and refresh the most dark and dehydrated of under-eyes in just 20 minutes. Formulated with hyaluronic acid and plankton extract, the result is smoother, brighter, more wide-awake eyes with no puffiness in sight.
In an interview with Harper's Bazaar, Poppy Delevingne revealed that these eye masks are one of her beauty must-haves.
3. Elemis Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm
Brimming with nourishing oils, when massaged into dry skin, the Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm works to dissolve makeup and dirt with impossible ease. If you want your daily cleansing regimen to feel spa-like, look no further than this cult cleanser. Plus, according to the brand, Suki Waterhouse is also a big fan.
Back in 2017, Catherine Zeta-Jones gave her Instagram followers a rare glimpse into her bathroom beauty cabinets. Inside? A pot of Elemis’ famous sumptuous cleansing balm of course.

Formulated with skin-loving seaweeds, this facial oil is hydrating and nourishing beyond belief. Not only does it leave skin with a healthy-looking glow, but it also plumps to reduce the appearance of fine lines.
Formulated with an 8% tri-acid complex of lactobionic, Asiatic and mandelic acids, this peel lifts away dull and dead skin cells for a smoother and renewed-looking appearance. Use it twice a week to unlock its full potential.
If you're an avid double-cleanser, we recommend following Elemis's cleansing balm with this liquid formulation. Supercharged with minerals magnesium, zinc and copper, as well as a trio of acids, it energises the skin and bestows it with a beautiful, radiant glow.
Unlike the classic cleansing balm, this particular version is formulated with calming English rose and smells absolutely delicious.
Similar to the Marine Oil, this formula also contains water kelp and other marine ingredients to help smooth and firm skin. However, formulated with a trio of rose extracts and oils, it also soothes and softens.
Your skincare regime shouldn't merely consist of your visage—your neck and décolleté should be afforded the same consideration. However, using up your precious face cream on that area might seem a tad wasteful; so don't. Instead, invest in this area-specific serum.
This post-cleanse essence delivers instant hydration that leaves skin looking fresh, plump and glowing.
The latest addition to the cult Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm range is this black cherry. With a creamy, sweet scent it makes for the ultimate moreish cleansing experience.
If your skin is feeling congested or rough in texture, this nourishing exfoliator will make light work of sweeping away dead skin cells using cellulose beads sourced from spruce trees and a rich blend of oils. The result is soft, smooth, bright skin in minutes.
As we age our skin naturally starts to lose plumpness but this potent serum aims to restore skin firmness and elasticity in just four days. It's a bold claim backed up by trials, but there's no doubt that using this regularly not only improves texture and bounce but boosts luminosity too.
Need a gift or just want to sample the Pro-Collagen offering for yourself? This trio of best-selling cleansing balms is the perfect introduction to Elemis' cult cleanser.
