Trying the Elemis Pro-Collagen Marine Cream 15 years later – it still impresses

Many people are surprised that my first encounter with Elemis isn’t at their store, or through some viral video, or an influencer on social media. My first encounter with the brand was back in 2009! Yep, they have been around a long time here in Malaysia, and I bet many of you didn’t realise that! 😀

Back in 2009, when this blog was in its infancy, I sat down with the then distributors and they shared with me about this new brand that was coming into Malaysia, and let me try some of the iconic products. One such sample was the Elemis Pro-Collagen Marine Cream.

A few years later, I purchased the full sized version, but I never got around to talking about it, because by then, the brand had gone into hibernation LOL But now that they’re back, under new management, I’d tell you about it.

I haven’t been in contact with the brand for a long time now, so I don’t know what sort of promotions or newness is around. When it comes to Elemis, there are just 2 products that I swear by – the Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm, and this Pro-Collagen Marine Cream. Everything else, to me, is gloss – make me change my mind 😛

Your skincare routine begins when you cleanse: 8 Cleansers I love that I buy over and over and why a good cleanser is important

In the past, when I first started having some interest in skincare, I came across a quote by someone that said “Spend on what you leave on and save on what you wash off” It was something of that ilk.

Essentially, the idea was that when we were balancing our budget for skincare, we should spend more on products like serums and creams, to get the best possible quality since we were leaving it on our skin; and we could save on a product like cleansers, because we’d just be washing them off.

I thought it made sense, so it was something I practised for a while. I’d buy cleansers from the pharmacy, and I’d not consider spending too much money on them. Something that was foamy and cleaned my skin was sufficient, never mind what special ingredients might be in it, because I was going to wash it off anyway.

Much later, I realised that I was wrong about this.

The Elemis Superfood AHA Glow Cleansing Butter cleanses your skin very nicely without stripping or drying it out

When I first came across the (then) new cleansing butter from Elemis, I was very intrigued. I am a huge fan of the Elemis Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm, and I currently have 2 in my backup stash. I love the texture of it, the scent, and how it leaves my skin feeling clean, yet moisturised and soft. There is nothing I hate about it at all!

Naturally, I had to eventually get around to trying the Elemis Superfood AHA Glow Cleansing Butter. It claims to clean and brighten skin, while nourishing the skin, and it is so highly raved about, I had to see what the fuss was about! 🙂

Salon Spy: Trying out the Elemis Biotec Facial – a high tech facial to boost glow in just 60 minutes

February 14, 2022 Paris B Leave a Comment

It has quite literally been YEARS since I last went for a proper facial!

Pre-pandemic, I never found a salon or service I was happy to settle with. I have rather particular preferences for facials (I must know the brand of products used, for example) and it was very hard finding one that met my requirements.

Post-pandemic, well, it speaks for itself really. I was in no frame of mind to go for a facial, especially as it requires both me and my facial therapist to be in close quarters.

However, a few months back, I was invited by Elemis Malaysia to try their newly launched Elemis Biotec Facial service. Elemis is a brand that I enjoy using very much, and I’d read a lot about their facial services in London. After a lot of thought, I agreed to try the facial. It was not without a lot of trepidation on my part, health-wise.

Part of the reason I agreed, was because I wanted a little break, and a glimpse of normalcy. The other part was because I had been in the market for a facial using products I was familiar with, and also using machines/microcurrent technology, and the Elemis Biotec Facial fit the bill!
