The 7 Elemis products I can't live without, as a beauty expert

Founded in 1989, Elemis is a British brand beloved the world over for its luxurious skincare that’s rooted in aromatherapy and taps into nature’s bounty. Think sensory ingredients such as rose, lavender and chamomile, along with fruits of the sea such as algae, blended with scientific powerhouses for super nourishing results.

The brand’s products are renowned for delivering that pampered effect that makes you feel nurtured and cared for, which is why they are so often found in a spa setting. The extensive range even encompasses bodycare and supplements.

Well known for organic origins cherry-picked from nature, the brand’s pro-collagen range – which was created specifically to target ageing skin – has elasticity-boosting properties in its intensely moisturising cleansers, creams and serums. Being 58 years old, I’ve tried products primarily from this range, and I can attest to their high performance and efficacy.

If you’re yet to sample the brand’s formulas or are looking to find your new favourite go-to, keep scrolling for my pick of the best Elemis products to add to your beauty routine.

How I tested

I tested each product for four weeks when I was most definitely burning the candle at both ends and in deep need of restorative skincare. Some of the formulas are historical favourites of mine, while others are new. I used each product as per the instructions and looked for improvements in fine lines, tightness, hydration and overall glowy skin. Here’s my full, honest review.
