‘Melted all my make-up in minutes’ rave beauty fans as they rush to buy £15 Elemis cleansing balm dupe
BEAUTY fans have raved about Elemis Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm for years.
This luxe buy is the brand’s bestselling cleanser and is touted as one of the best make-up removers on the market.
Revolution Pro Miracle Vegan Collagen Cleansing Balm 100g, £15, Revolution Pro
Formulated with nine essential oils – including soothing lavender and chamomile – this cleansing balm not only cleans skin but provides a sumptuous, indulgent cleansing ritual.
Elemis Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm is suitable for all skin types and leaves skin feeling calm and hydrated, thanks to fatty acids, which promote skin health by restoring moisture levels.
The award-winning formula is undoubtedly unique and worth purchasing – but beauty fans are less keen on its £49 price tag.
So, unsurprisingly, fans have been on the hunt for a cheaper alternative – and many are saying that Revolution Pro Miracle Vegan Collagen Cleansing Balm (£15) is a great dupe.
Cleansing balms are suitable for most skin types and are effective at melting away makeup.
Whether you’ve sported glitter, eyeliner or heavy contour, a cleansing balm can cut through it all – and many formulas are gentle enough to be used around your eyes, too.
Cleansing balms are mess-free and easy to transport, meaning they’re perfect for packing on holiday.
Both Elemis and Revolution have a solid, balm texture but transform into a silky cleansing milk on the skin.
Shoppers love Revolution’s indulgent texture, with one saying: “So soft and creamy, makeup slides off leaving skin soft and supple.”
Another shopper adds: “Super soft texture, smells good. Skin feels very clear and soft afterwards.”
To use the cleanser, simply massage the formula into your hands until it forms a creamy milk, before applying it to your face in circular actions.
The formula lifts away heavy makeup, without irritating skin – and shoppers agree.
One adds: “Doesn’t leave an oily residue after washing off, and cleans away eye makeup without stinging!”
The cleansing balm is formulated with a blend of essential oils and skin-nourishing ingredients such as brightening sweet almond oil and calming oats.
Not only does the balm remove makeup and clean the skin, but it also leaves the skin feeling soft and hydrated.
One shopper says: “Melted all my make-up within minutes and left my face feeling so smooth and clean.”
Another adds: “It’s very nourishing and my skin feels soft and cared for after using.”
The cleansing balm includes a small facial cloth, which can be used to remove the balm, ensuring that your face is left clean and residue-free.
You can use the balm twice a day, and it can be used alongside a second cleanser during the evening, for fully washing dirt and impurities and preparing it for bedtime.
Even loyal Elemis Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm users have been converted into Revolution fans after giving the dupe a go.
One shopper says: “I usually use Elemis but thought I would try this based on the reviews and price.”
Adding: “Removes all makeup and leaves skin nice and soft. Will buy again.”
Another shopper raves: “AMAZING! Half the price of Elemis and better! I woke up so glowy and moisturised I couldn’t believe it! This balm is an amazing dupe and for such a good price.”
But it’s selling fast.
At the time of writing Revolution Pro’s website said limited supply. So get it before it goes.
