Pros

For daily skincare, ELEMIS nourishing cleansing oil has everything your skin needs to remove stubborn makeup while retaining its moisture barrier – follow with a soothing toner to gently restore skin and enhance radiance. Mimosa flower extract has anti-inflammatory properties, which enables this ingredient to calm and soothe irritated skin.Elemis Superfood Facial Wash is a refreshing gel cleanser infused with a nutrient-dense Supergreen Complex to deeply cleanse skin and revive dull-looking skin. The Supergreen Complex consists of wheatgrass, kale, nettle, and minerals that all work together to promote a luminous complexion. A sugar-derived prebiotic, alpha-glucan oligosaccharide, helps to maintain a healthy balance in the skin’s microflora. Elemis Pro Collagen Marine Cream also includes Chlorella vulgaris, a green eukaryotic microalgae. When applied topically, chlorella has been shown to stimulate collagen synthesis. Collagen is responsible for the strength, elasticity, smoothness and plump appearance of healthy skin. Additionally, Chlorella vulgaris extract has an anti-collagenase and an anti-elastase effect. Collagenase and elastase are enzymes that break down collagen and elastin, respectively. Since collagen and elastin are responsible for the strength and elasticity of skin, preventing the degradation of these proteins is important for maintaining a youthful complexion.

Even if you don’t have a full blown reaction to the ingredient, the damage may still be occurring every day. Ultimately, this can cause mild problems for your skin in the short term and worse problems in the long term. This is something to keep in mind before purchasing Elemis skincare products, especially if you have sensitive skin. As you age, your body’s production of collagen and elastin slows down. These two proteins are responsible for your skin’s structural support. As a result, the skin loses its natural plumpness and smoothness.Key ingredients include glycerin, synthetic emollients, wheat germ oil, shea butter, chlorella, Padina pavonica thallus extract, Acacia decurrens (mimosa) flower extract, and Rosa centifolia (rose) flower extract The brand does use beneficial ingredients in some products (e.g. sweet almond oil, caprylic/capric triglyceride, meadowfoam seed oil, glycerin, niacinamide, lactic acid, etc) Pro-Collagen Marine Oil is a lightweight, easily absorbed oil that helps to support the skin's moisture barrier. Appearance of fine lines and wrinkles are visibly reduced. Founded in 1989, British skincare brand Elemis was one of the first pioneers of a holistic approach to beauty. The idea for this luxury line of skincare products came from entrepreneur and investor Linda Steiner. Linda’s goal was to create a line of products “as near to nature as possible” with “no expense spared.” She was soon joined by co-founders Noella Gabriel, Sean Harrington, and Oriele Frank, who helped turn Elemis into a sought-after brand that is now available in over 45 countries around the world.

Slide fingers under the eyes to the bridge of the nose and then to the forehead. Glide from the center to the temples. One reason this is problematic is because the low concentrations of key ingredients mean that there’s a low chance they will provide benefits to your skin. Don’t get us wrong, more doesn’t always equal better. This is true with the ingredient retinol, which is effective even at low concentrations. However, the brand could definitely use higher concentrations of ingredients like cucumber extract, avocado oil, and the other botanical extracts that they claim are key ingredients.
