Paige DeSorbo’s $18 Elemis cleansing balm ‘melts all makeup away’
Paige DeSorbo found the beauty equivalent of a magic eraser — and right now, it’s just $18 on Amazon.
The “Summer House” alum has made no secret of her love for the Elemis Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm, a makeup-melting staple that turns the nightly chore of taking off a full face into something that actually sounds enjoyable.
“Ciara introduced me to this on ‘Summer House,’” she previously told E!, crediting friend and former co-star Ciara Miller for putting her onto the cult-favorite cleanser.
DeSorbo said she takes “a little” of the thick balm in her hand, warms it up and applies it all over her face — then comes the part that has us reaching for our wallets.
“I massage my face,” she explained. “It literally melts all my makeup away.”
And apparently, that includes the kind of makeup that refuses to leave without a fight. The “Giggly Squad” co-host specifically called out the cleanser as being “really good if you’re wearing fake eyelashes”
The Elemis formula is designed to pull double — or triple — duty. It starts as a rich balm, transforms into a cleansing oil to dissolve makeup and impurities, then emulsifies into a more milky texture when water is added. The brand says it’s suitable for all skin types and leaves your complexion feeling soft and hydrated, rather than stripped.
The full-size Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm typically sells for considerably more — around $72 at major beauty retailers — which makes an $18 Amazon price especially tempting for anyone who has been curious about the celebrity-approved cleanser.
And DeSorbo isn’t exactly alone in her obsession. The Elemis balm has racked up a celebrity following, with fans ranging from Bethenny Frankel to Kyle Richards. (Not to mention, Page Six staffers have also praised its ability to tackle stubborn makeup without leaving skin feeling parched.)
So, if your current makeup-removal routine involves micellar water, three cotton rounds and a prayer, consider this your sign to let a balm do the heavy lifting.
