Corrine StokoeTime for some REAL TALK. If one of my best friends sat me down and said, “Corrine, I need to know what your MOST used skincare brand is,” I would tell them ELEMIS. It's the brand I reach for the most, the one I've been most consistent with over the years, the one I've recommended to friends and family and gifted most when I want to give something REALLY nice to any of the women I love in my life.
Although there are many brands out there that I like and even love (and plenty that I don't love) … ELEMIS is the stuff that I feel like has made the most significant difference on my skin. If I had to choose ONE skincare brand to stay loyal to for the rest of my life, ELEMIS would be it. And if you've been holding your breath and crossing your fingers and toes for a friends and family sale on ELEMIS skincare, I have some happy news for you! Keep reading to find out!

Why ELEMIS?
A few years ago, we were stopped in Vegas for the night during a road trip from California to Utah. I was having one of those little beauty emergencies where I forgot to pack my face wash and moisturizer and I’m just too picky with my skin to be using hotel soap to wash my face!
I walked into a high-end retailer and started chatting with one of the girls at the beauty counter about whether they had any travel size skincare I could purchase. She immediately directed me toward the ELEMIS line. She swore up and down that not only was it her favorite of any skincare she had tried, but that she guaranteed I'd be back to buy more once I gave it a try. So, I took a little leap of faith and bought a pretty pricey travel kit of ELEMIS skincare! Sure enough, a couple weeks later, I promptly went back and bought all the full-sized products and I've been hooked ever since!
Did you know that ELEMIS is actually the number 1 selling skincare in all of England?!
Pro-Collagen Energising Marine Cleanser
ELEMIS recently came out with the Pro-Collagen Energising Marine Cleanser, and I was so excited to try it! It feels so refreshing and removes all the makeup and daily grime off my face. I love how glowy my skin looks after using it, thanks to the tri-blend of acids that break down dead skin while cleansing! I use this in the shower when it's not as conducive to using my usual Cleansing Balm, and it works like a charm!
Pro-Collagen Insta-Smooth Primer
The Pro-Collagen Insta-Smooth Primer feels so amazing under my makeup! If you're trying to be more conscious of the products you put on your face, this ELEMIS primer has skincare properties that will work for you and not against you! It firms and hydrates and layers beautifully under makeup.
Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm
The Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm is seriously like a wash from heaven and my very favorite cleanser of all time. It's SO buttery soft on your skin and it melts off all my makeup PLUS leaves my skin feeling so moisturized!
This cleansing balm truly is the most luxurious facial cleanser I have ever used and it somehow leaves your skin uber soft, yet totally clean! I don’t know how they do it. It’s like MAGIC. And as long as I don't get it in my lash extensions but just carefully use it and wipe away with a washcloth around my eyes, it's not so oily that it messes with my lash extensions like many other oil-based cleansers I've tried in the past.
ELEMIS Overnight Matrix
I love this ELEMIS Pro-Collagen Overnight Matrix; it is the MOST POWERFUL cream ELEMIS has ever made! It goes on like a gel and absorbs instantly into your skin, helping you wake up with incredible results of reduced stress and diminishing wrinkles on your face!! An extra treat is putting this in my skincare fridge because it feels like even more of a luxury. Every single time I use this stuff I see a difference. You can seriously use it ONE time and wake up with your skin feeling totally different!
This ELEMIS night cream uses smart drone peptide technology to target stress areas in your skin. Their exclusive marine extract utilizes blends of microalgae to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and plump up your skin while you sleep! It's a bit of a splurge, but seriously it is magic in a bottle!!
ELEMIS Marine Cream
Of all of ELEMIS' products, THIS one is my favorite. The Marine Cream is SO dreamy. Just thick and supple and luxurious, but NOT greasy in the least bit. It even increases skin's hydration 247% in just one hour!! There are so many serious benefits to using it, and I am always 100% impressed with how my skin feels afterwards. If you're at the age when you are really starting to care for your skin, this cream is what I would recommend over and over!
That marine cream though – you MUST know about this. This is going to sound a little weird but it’s actually really cool – the cream contains Mediterranean algae because some scientists found when they uncovered a sunken ship from the Mediterranean sea that the wood on this ship was perfectly preserved from that layer of algae. They got to thinking and realized they could make an anti-aging cream with this same algae!
Enter ELEMIS Marine Cream. One-pot of this stuff is sold around the world every TEN SECONDS. Amazing right? Look it up on any high-end department store site and you will find dozens of perfect reviews. It is incredible!
ELEMIS Advance Eye Treatment
I get asked constantly which ELEMIS eye cream is my favorite and I always tell people about the ELEMIS Advanced Eye Treatment! I love that it lasts me forever; the product is potent so you don't need to use a ton to see a difference. It's not heavy and it layers really well with my concealer! One reviewer said that she noticed a difference straight away, and I have to agree.
Hydra-Gel Eye Masks
ELEMIS Hydra-gel Eye Masks is THE luxury item that I pull out when I really want to treat myself! A professional makeup artist introduced me to these when she did my makeup for an event a few years ago. She put these under my eyes before she applied my makeup and I couldn't believe how amazingly my makeup went on afterwards. It took away so much puffiness under my eyes instantly!! Six months later, another of my favorite makeup artists used the EXACT same product on me! When two different pro makeup artists use the exact same thing to prep my skin, it becomes my go-to as well! I keep this in my skincare fridge for an extra special treat when I really want my skin to look amazing!
Pro-Collagen Rose Hydro-Mist
I gotta let you in on a little secret: I don't really like toner. I know some skincare junkies might roll their eyes at this because it could be considered an essential step. BUT, upon learning that I could instead use the Pro-Collagen Rose Hydro-Mist, I was totally on board! I use this right after cleansing my face and it really helps balance my pH levels and prep my skin for more products, whether it's skincare or makeup! I will also use it as a makeup setting spray or as something to refresh my skin on a plane.

THE time to buy!
Last year, the ONLY thing my mom asked me for for Christmas was ELEMIS products and she has never asked me for any other skincare! You definitely get when you give with this skincare. It's a bit more of a splurge, but ELEMIS products are truly ones that will change your skin! The ingredients are unparalleled, hand-picked and ultra-effective. Getting any deal on these products is fantastic, and I am so excited that all of this is included in this ELEMIS friends and family sale by using code FALL25! 25% off these products is INSANE, truly a gift! Now is the time to stock up, buy gifts and try something new.
Just curious, are we supposed to keep our skin care in a little fridge? I’ve never known if it worked better cold but if it does I’d love to know that.
Hey Kim! Corrine says no, it’s totally not necessary to keep them in a fridge! And she’ll be doing a post soon on her skincare fridge and why she loves it! 🙂 -Kourtney
Hi Corrine! I got a free sample of the Elemis Marine Cream a few months back when they were having their 50% off deal (on your recommendation). Unfortunately, I didn’t pull the trigger on actually buying it because I wanted to try it first. Now I’m regretting that. Do you know when they might be having another 50% off deal? The 25% off is good, but still pricey for my budget. Thanks!
Hey Jolene! We are glad you loved it. Keep an eye out on the blog, we are always hoping to provide you guys with the best deals we can find! -Kourtney
