An Easy Guide to ELEMIS Skincare

Looking to update your skincare routine with a little more luxury? We’ve got just the brand for you!

ELEMIS uses cutting-edge patented technology to power their award-winning skincare products, and has proven the efficacy of their products through rigorous testing, clinical trials and the ELEMIS spas.

If you like your beauty regime to be eco-friendly, then you’re in luck. ELEMIS was founded in 1989 with the mission to create ‘a skincare range as close to nature as possible’, and it uses responsibly-sourced active plant extracts and bio-engineered nature identicals to avoid stripping the earth of its natural resources.

They also make safety and efficacy their priority when developing products, cutting out over 2000 potentially harmful ingredients (formaldehyde, mineral oil, parabens, phthalates and SLS/SLES, just to name a few) and not bothering with trendy ingredients that might not be the best for your skin just to make a buck.

Need a few more reasons to fall in love with this brand? Besides being super effective, of course, the products are all created with natural fragrances and luxurious textures for a full aromatherapy experience and they develop and manufacture everything in England. Named the Best Premium Skincare Brand by the UK Sunday Times in 2020, this is a top brand to shop to upgrade your beauty routine and make a real difference to your skin.

Browse our round-up of the top ELEMIS collections and best selling products, and find your new skincare must-haves.

ELEMIS PRO-COLLAGEN

We’d say that ELEMIS’ Pro-Collagen range is their shining star, but really, this brand has so many dazzling ranges that we’re practically blinded.

Still, Pro-Collagen is a favourite amongst ELEMIS fans as no matter your skin type or other skin concerns, we’re all ageing and slowly losing the collagen that gives our faces the plumpness of youth. This range is designed to combat this loss with the deeply hydrating power of marine actives.

This award-winning range is chock full of products that smooth fine lines and wrinkles, improve hydration and plumpness, and leave you looking nourished and young.

From cult-favourite cleansing balms to oils to face creams, shop the best of Pro-Collagen below, or check out the entire range here.

ELEMIS SUPERFOOD RANGE

Another incredibly popular range from ELEMIS is their Superfood line.

Every product in this delicious collection is loaded with prebiotics, fermented plant actives and vitamin-rich superfoods to feed your skin from the inside out and help it to look as fresh and radiant as it can be.

Like you might choose a green juice or supplement to get a nutrient-dense dose of greens for your body, these innovative products pack in a dose of greens for your skin with the likes of kale, wheatgrass and broccoli. Yum, yum!

Here are some ELEMIS Superfood faves you might like to try, or you can shop the entire range here.

BEST ELEMIS EYE TREATMENTS

Some eye creams are just a marketing gimmick, repackaging moisturisers into smaller and more expensive tubes—but not these ones! ELEMIS offers cutting-edge eye treatments that are clinically tested to support the delicate skin around your eye.

You can wave good-bye to puffiness, fine lines, dark circles—the whole shebang—and say hello to plump, bright and hydrated skin.

BEST ELEMIS OVERNIGHT PRODUCTS

A high-quality night cream or mask is essential for helping your skin repair itself at its peak regeneration point. ELEMIS ups the ante with their overnight skincare, loading them with more potent actives and making the formulas richer—to ensure your wake up with soft, hydrated skin.

BEST OF ELEMIS BODY CARE

Life is hectic—we get it. But body care can be a great way to slow down and take some time for yourself. Even if you don’t have time to enjoy one of ELEMIS’ luxurious bath products, adding a nourishing shower gel or silky body oil to your body cleansing routine can make a huge difference to getting ready for the day or winding down at night.

Since the brand owns a range of spas, it’s no surprise that their products create a relaxing, spa-like experience with their sensorial aromatics and divine textures.

OTHER ELEMIS BESTSELLERS

As a bonus, here are a few other favourites that didn’t fit into any of our other categories but that we just had to tell you about—as much as we’d like to keep them to ourselves.

How to Build Your ELEMIS Skincare Routine

Let’s be real—skincare routines can feel like a lot. But with ELEMIS, it’s less “overwhelming checklist” and more “spa vibes at home.” Whether you’re new to the game or levelling up your routine, here’s how to build your own glow-boosting ritual, the ELEMIS way:

1. Start with a good cleanse

Cleansing = the non-negotiable first step. Go for a balm like the ELEMIS Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm to melt off makeup and SPF, or a refreshing gel cleanser if you’re after a morning wake-up call. Clean skin = happy skin.

2. Don’t skip toner

Toners aren’t just fancy water—especially not with ELEMIS. The Soothing Apricot Toner or Balancing Lavender Toner helps reset your skin’s pH and preps it to soak up everything that follows. Think of it as a skincare primer.

3. Target what your skin needs today

Feeling dry? Dull? Breaking out? ELEMIS has targeted serums and masks to tackle all the things. Rotate in goodies like the Superfood Facial Oil for nourishment or the Dynamic Resurfacing Gel Mask for a glow boost. Your skin’s needs can change—your routine can too.

4. Moisturise like you mean it

Hydration is key. Lock in moisture with the cult-fave Superfood Day Cream—depending on your vibe. Want to go luxe at night? The Pro-Collagen Oxygenating Night Cream is your bedtime bestie.

5. SPF always

If there’s one thing we’ll never shut up about, it’s sunscreen. ELEMIS has fab options like the Pro-Collagen Marine Cream SPF 30 so you can hydrate and protect in one go. No excuses.

6. Treat your body too

Skincare isn’t just for your face. Level up with icons like the Frangipani Monoi Body Oil or Targeted Toning Body Moisturiser for head-to-toe softness and glow. Because body care = self care.
