I tried Superdrug's £5 Elemis cleansing balm dupe and it’ll save a small fortune

Superdrug shoppers have been heaping praise on an affordable own-brand cleansing balm, with many saying it’s as good as - or better than - high end brand Elemis. And as a regular user of the luxury Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm, it was a dupe I knew I had to put to the test.

And that’s not the only premium product it’s said to be better than, either. The Melting Cleansing Balm was featured on ITV’s This Morning last year, and in a blind test, Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield preferred it over the Clinique Take The Day Off Cleansing Balm.

Available in two sizes, it’s currently on offer for as little as £4.89 for 65g, which is much cheaper than Elemis, which is £12 for 20g, or £48 for 100g.
