Elemis, renowned for its iconic cleansing balm, has launched a new ‘delicious’ scent that can be purchased for less than £12. The Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm now comes in a Black Cherry fragrance, touted as the ‘cherry on top’ of your skincare routine.
Celebrities such as Victoria Beckham, Molly-Mae Hague and Poppy Delevigne are reportedly among the balm’s fan base. The product uses a blend of oils to keep skin soft, nourished and smooth while gently cleansing. It includes a host of wholesome ingredients like Optimega Oil, which helps reduce transepidermal water loss, and Starflower Oil, which helps to soften, smooth and nourish skin. Elderberry oil is used for its fatty acids and other nutrients that act as natural antioxidants to promote radiant-looking skin.
The new balm usually costs £29 for a 50g tub on Sephora, but savvy shoppers are getting one one for only £11.83, including free postage and packaging thanks to a money saving website.

This relatively new scent, described as smelling like a ‘spa’ with a blend of black cherry, almond, and vanilla, has garnered over 30 reviews and an impressive 4.6 out of five average star-rating from Elemis shoppers. One reviewer said: “I’m absolutely in love with this balm. My skin smells delicious.” Another reviewer described it as ‘decadent,’ adding: “I love my cleansing balm and over the years there have been hits and misses in their limited editions. This is a huge hit, it smells and feels rich and decadent. There is a warmth to it and it leaves the skin clean and soft. I will definitely be buying more to put away.”
A third reviewer said: “Can’t even describe how beautiful this scent is. It’s amazing to make a black cherry, almond-like scent still have a tinge of that ‘spa’ scent Elemis does so well. And the texture and quality are exactly as you’d expect from this creme-de-la-creme of cleansing balms. Nothing else comes close. I’ll definitely get another, it’s perhaps my favourite scent yet.”
A fourth reviewer added: “I knew as soon as I saw that there was a limited edition Black Cherry Pro-Collagen Balm released , that I had to have one. I’m so glad I bought it because it’s my favourite scent of Elemis cleansing balms by far. The smell is absolutely divine.
“It makes cleansing a pure pleasure rather than a chore after a long day. The scent transports you to somewhere exotic. Makeup is melted away and skin is left feeling refreshed, soft and ready for the next step in your beauty routine.”
However, another shopper was less impressed, finding the scent too sweet: “As someone who thinks Green Fig is the best of the best, I took a step out of my comfort zone and ordered this. I have to say I don’t like it. The formula is still the same, it’s still the same wonderful consistency but the smell is not cherry to me. It’s more berry, artificial and sweet. Almost sickly sweet and utterly overpowering all other skincare products and not in a nice way.”
For those looking for alternative cleansing balms, options include Superdrug’s Melting Cleansing Balm, priced at £9.99, which offers a simple, unscented formula that some shoppers swear by. Alternatively, Fenty Skin’s Cherry Dub Pore Purify’r Gel Cleanser, available at Boots for £27.20, may appeal to those who love cherry scents but aren’t fussed about the balm formula.
