When it comes to tackling the signs of ageing, cleansing is one skincare step that shouldn't be skipped. For mature skin especially, face washing is about so much more than just removing the day's grime – as we get older, skin naturally becomes drier and more sensitive, meaning harsh cleansers can rob it of vital oils, leaving it feeling tight while making fine lines and wrinkles appear far more pronounced.
An oil-based cleanser can work wonders by dissolving makeup and impurities while bolstering the skin's natural barrier, rather than leaving it feeling parched or irritated. This is precisely where the Elemis Pro-Collagen Cleanse and Oil Set shines – a duo designed to support a healthy-looking complexion through a winning combination of gentle cleansing and intensive hydration.
The set features the brand's much-loved Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm, paired with the Pro-Collagen Marine Oil, offering a fuss-free routine that both cleanses and nourishes the skin. Ordinarily retailing at £78, QVC shoppers can currently snap it up with a generous 38% saving, bringing the price down to £48.

The cleansing balm itself is crafted with botanical oils, conditioning waxes, vitamin E and padina pavonica – a marine algae that appears throughout the Elemis Pro-Collagen range. Working in harmony, these carefully chosen ingredients draw out dirt and impurities, leaving the skin feeling wonderfully soft, comfortable and conditioned, rather than stripped bare.
After cleansing, the marine oil aims to provide featherlight moisture through a combination of marine algae extracts, rosehip seed oil and white poppy seed oil. Elemis claims the oil enhances luminosity while diminishing the look of fine lines and wrinkles when applied prior to moisturiser as part of a morning or evening skincare regimen, reports Wales Online.

Returning to the Elemis collection, currently discounted at QVC, shoppers have shared their thoughts. One reviewer commented: "I have been using Elemis for years mostly from QVC. I absolutely love it all, all the cleansers, superfood tonic, serum, rose oil and superfood oil and marine cream. I also use the body products. I recommend to my family and friends."
Pointing out that the products are 'expensive' and offers are well worth looking out for, another reviewer commented: "I have used Elemis for years as I have a very reactive skin, I find their products an absolute life saver. These are two I use on a daily basis. The oil just very lightly everyday under my moisturiser.
"The cleanser every evening to remove the days grime. My skin does not react to these items. Also use other Elemis products but these two are on a daily basis. Always look for the offer prices as it is expensive, but worth every penny."
The products contain fragrance, which may not suit everyone's preferences. Drawing attention to this regarding the rose cleansing balm, one person revealed: "I like the product especially for my dry skin. However I prefer non-scented products on my face. The scent is nice but strong. I like the texture of the product. Overall three stars because of how strongly scented it is."
A fourth shopper elaborated: "I have used Elemis for many years and these two I use daily and can not be without. The oil is amazing on my skin and I really notice when I haven't used it.
"The cleansing balm also is a must, and this small pot is perfect for travelling. I buy all my Elemis product through QVC as they make it affordable to use these amazing products."
Someone else said: "I keep buying this balm as there isn’t another like it. The texture and smell make you feel like you are in a spa at home!"
