Whether you’re rocking a full face of make-up or just feeling the weight of a day spent in SPF, there’s nothing quite like washing it all away with the Elemis pro-collagen cleansing balm. Packed with algae and essential oils, it makes for a relaxing nighttime ritual that leaves your skin feeling fresh, clean, and completely free of the day’s grime.

It’s definitely a splurge, usually around £52, but the good news? This luxurious balm almost always gets a discount for Black Friday.

The cleansing balm comes in five varieties, with black cherry being the latest to join the lineup, alongside chamomile, rose, fig and a ‘naked’ unscented version for those prone to irritation. Technically speaking, Selfridges has an exclusive sixth scent – neroli (£90, Selfridges.com) – under its belt, so I'll be keeping a keen eye on the luxury store's website, too.

With Black Friday creeping up on us, some brands have discounted the cleansing balm early, and you can now save up to 25 per cent. However, if you’re hoping for a more substantial reduction, I'll be on hand updating this page as soon as I spot any further savings.

The original Elemis cleansing balm is known to be used by Victoria Beckham, and if it’s good enough for Posh Spice, then it’s certainly good enough for me.

The formula also impressed beauty expert Louise Whitbread, who wrote in her review that “it doesn’t irritate sensitive skin, smells amazing and is a swift and efficacious way to remove make-up.”

You can currently save 25 per cent in one of Boots’ special offers. Run, don’t walk.

Elemis pro-collagen cleansing balm: Was £86, now £68.80, Lookfantastic.com

f you love the original Elemis cleansing balm, then it stands to reason that you’d be keen to get your hands on a jumbo tub. Well, you're in luck, as Lookfantastic has reduced the 200g pot by 20 per cent. As above, you can also save 20 per cent on the 100g pot (was £52, now £41.60) and the 20g travel-size option (was £14.50, now £11.60). However, in terms of the amount of product you get for the price, the 200g size works out as the better deal overall. Consider your skin cleansed and chamomile-scented for the foreseeable.

Elemis pro-collagen black cherry cleansing balm: Was £52, now £39, Boots.com

Elemis’s black cherry cleansing balm maintains the yellow colour of the original formula with a candy scent of Haribo tangfastics. In my review of the Elemis black cherry scent, I found that “its ingredients are sensitive on eyes and allowed me to get up close and personal with the mascara on my lashes, removing all the product in just one cleanse.” Reduced by 25 per cent in Boots’ Black Friday celebrations, the cherry scent now costs £39, making it the perfect excuse to try something new.

Elemis pro-collagen rose cleansing balm: Was £52, now £39, Boots.com

Besides the naked version, the rose balm is perhaps the least potent of Elemis’ cleanser scents. I’ve gone through multiple tubs of this scent over the years, and I’d argue it’s my favourite. It combines the brand’s effective make-up removal with a feminine and floral fragrance. Once again, it has 205per cent off now.

Elemis pro-collagen green fig cleansing balm: Was £52, now £39, Boots.com

I’ve been covering beauty for multiple years, and I can tell you with confidence that the green fig balm is the least discounted of all the Elemis cleansers. So if you’re a green fig devotee, this is your time to shine.

Plus, the Boots current promotion means you’ll be able to save 25 per cent and stock up on cleansing balms to your heart’s content, all with more than £10 off.

If you have sensitive skin, I’d recommend this Elemis fragrance-free cleansing balm – and luckily, John Lewis is on hand with a promising deal. While I’m yet to test this formula in particular, it’s designed to be gentle and hydrating.

Elemis balm and bright cleansing trio set: Worth £93, now £65, Boots.com

Gift sets often promise a good saving, and this Elemis trio boasts a great one. It’s the most lucrative of the deals with a 30 per cent reduction on the brand’s original, rose and black cherry cleansers. They come wrapped in a snowflake-adorned tube and, if you’re starting to think about stocking fillers, why not split up the contents? It works out at £21.66 per 50g tub, which usually retails for £31 (Boots.com).

Elemis superfood AHA glow cleansing butter: Was £37, now £27.75, Boots.com

Elemis's superfood cleansing balm is the neglected sibling of the face-wash family but, take it from me, it deserves your attention. With a fruity aroma – thanks to its combination of mango, pumpkin and cherry ingredients – this brightening balm is my favourite way to rinse away the day. Plus, it's a little bit cheaper than the brand's pro-collagen formula – and it's now even cheaper, thanks to this 25 per cent discount at Boots.

How to spot offers on the Elemis pro-collagen cleansing balm

When browsing for Black Friday deals on the Elemis cleanser, you might need to let go of any preconceptions about scent and tub size. Often, the best discounts are reserved for gift sets – including the cleansing trio above (worth £93, now £65, Boots.com) – which offer multiple tubs of the cleanser in 50ml quantities. As much as this seems excessive for one person, this type of deal boasts a greater saving compared to the original chamomile cleanser in its 100ml size. For instance, the OG balm is currently reduced by 25 per cent, while the trio’s price has been lowered by 30 per cent.
