ELEMIS

This brand has a certain mystique, and advertising suggests that their products are uniquely beneficial for the skin because of the seaweed extracts and other ingredients. The Pro-Collagen Marine Cream in particular attracted my attention, because we all know that the loss of collagen over time makes us more prone to wrinkles. I ordered this moisturiser in the spf 30 formulation, to wear as a daily moisturiser under makeup. But on the first application I was horrified to find that my skin felt as though it was burning up, and two large red patches appeared on my cheeks. To be fair, they don't say it is for sensitive skin, but on the other hand there are no warnings either. The list of ingredients looked fine, so I was very disappointed. To make things worse, the products are expensive and should have been thoroughly screened by dermatologists for any possible allergens. The packaging was not good either, as the cream came in a jar with not even a spatula to remove it. Consequently, you would be adding bacteria each you used it. Needless to say, I won't be trying any of this brand's various products again, nor could I recommend it to anyone.

This product broke me out every time i used it. it was hard to wash off with sope and made my makeup stick to the skin. It does a good job removing leg makup thogh.

It feels nice under the eyes but it has a horrible scent of fish. I actually didn't know it was this at first because at first there is not scent. Thank goodness it doesn't last long but it grosses me out, it is a strong 🐟 smell.
