Elemis Superfood AHA Glow Cleansing Butter Review

July 16, 2020

*This post may contain affiliated links, this means I may receive a small commission if you make a purchase through a link.

My shelves positively heave with Elemis products and I would consider myself a big fan. Particularly of the Pro Collagen range, most of which are wonderful and fully live up to my expectations. I was excited therefore to find out they were releasing an AHA Glow cleansing butter, which promised to make my skin glow. Would it live up to my current favourite cleansing product – Elemis Pro Collagen Cleansing Balm? 

The Product 

Elemis Superfood AHA Glow Cleansing Butter

Elemis Superfood AHA Glow Pumpkin Cleansing butter has a long name, and an even longer list of multi-tasking Benefits. According to Elemis it melts away make up and daily impurities leaving you with fresh, glowing and healthy skin. It can be used as a daily cleanser, a makeup remover or as a deep cleansing mask. Its also suitable for all skin types. It contains pumpkin and acerola cherry AHA’s – Alpha Hydroxy Acids to you and me. These promise to brighten skin, as well as mango butter and chia seed oil to nourish and hydrate. It also claims to leave skin deeply cleansed, brightened and moisturised.  On top of this its vegan friendly, sulphate and mineral oil free. 

How to use it 


The butter can be used in 3 ways:

  • Applied to a cotton pad and used to remove make up from the skin and eyes.
  • As a daily cleanser when smoothed over dry skin and removed with warm water.
  • For deep cleansing by leaving to work for 10 minutes before rinsing with warm water.

Details

Elemis AHA Glow Cleansing Butter Texture

Firstly, this cleansing butter is glorious to look at! Such a gorgeous vibrant orange it does positively glow out of the jar at you. The packaging is also lovely and up to the usual Elemis standards with its heavy orange glass jar. Its texture is buttery and gel-like and smooths onto the skin so easily, its a complete pleasure to apply. Advertised as fragrance free it does however seem to have a very subtle pumpkin scent, barely noticeable and certainly not overpowering, but there nonetheless.

My review

Following the Elemis instructions, I have used this glow cleansing butter in all 3 ways, for makeup removal, as a daily cleanser and a mask. All work well, although I did find it less effective as a specific makeup remover with a cotton pad, its buttery texture made it a bit difficult to remove without rinsing.

As a mask it is pleasant enough, but as I have dry skin it doesn’t provide enough moisture as I like in a mask, that being said my skin did indeed glow after I washed it off! Where it truly shines is as a daily cleanser, massaged into the skin it feels refreshing and soothing and washes off easily. I tend to use a damp cloth when removing it to lightly exfoliate at the same time, but it does work well when simply rinsed with warm water. Afterwards my skin feels nourished and definitely glowing with health. 

As I said I do have dry skin and it therefore would be remis not to mention that it isn’t as hydrating as I find the Elemis pro collagen cleansing balm, so I have continued to use that at bed time, saving the glow butter for morning and following it with my usual serums and moisturiser. Having now used this daily for a couple of weeks my skin feels smoother and looks brighter and more glowy. 

From a price point it is mid-range at £30, fairly reasonable in terms of other Elemis products, and well worth the money. You can buy it now from:

Feel Unique*, Elemis and other online retailers.

Another of my skincare mainstays this morning - @d Another of my skincare mainstays this morning - @deciem The Ordinary Buffet Serum. What does this little bottle of wonderfulness not do?!

This multitasking serum targets signs of aging by reducing fine lines, boosting hydration, fading pigmentation, brightening dull skin AND smoothing skin texture! You’d almost never need to use another skincare product! Jokes of course since we are all fully addicted to all the skincare products 😂

I use it most mornings and it applies really beautifully with no stickiness and make up sits really well over it. And it’s really affordable. Love it 💜

Really loving the new @narsissist Climax Extreme m Really loving the new @narsissist Climax Extreme mascara! 

I have pretty rubbish lashes, really fair and not particularly long and I really enjoy how they look with this mascara. It’s very very pigmented and adds lots of volume with just one coat!

The brush takes a little bit of getting used to, it’s huge! And I do find it gets a little smudgy by the evening, but still 100% worth it! 🤩

I have been using @herbivorebotanicals Pink Cloud I have been using @herbivorebotanicals Pink Cloud Creamy Jelly Cleanser for a few weeks now so thought I’d update you on my thoughts.

Firstly its a beautiful texture, light and gel like. It’s also gently foaming. I’m not a massive fan of foaming cleansers general as I do find my Sahara dry skin can get quite tight, but actually this one isn’t too bad at all and doesn’t seem to strip my skin much.

It’s also got a light rose scent which I really enjoy, not overpowering just really pretty. 

It’s main ingredients Tremella Mushroom and rose water are designed to soothe and hydrate, and although it’s definitely not the most hydrating cleanser I think these do help to keep it quite light and refreshing rather than drying. 

And of course, as with all Herbivore products it’s beautiful to look at, with the glass bottle being eco friendly. And as a big plus it’s vegan and cruelty free. 

Overall it’s a really nice cleanser and while I don’t use it every day it’s definitely a nice addition to my cleanser rotation 💖

* AD/PR Got to try this gorgeous Mango Butter from * AD/PR Got to try this gorgeous Mango Butter from @themangogirl2 
this week and I’m absolutely loving it!

You can use this butter anywhere - hair, skin, lips, plus it can help with skin conditions such as eczema. And it’s completely natural and vegan! 

It also smells good enough to eat! 🥭 I personally love it’s rich mango scent but if you’re less keen on scented skincare it could be a bit overpowering for you. 

Swipe to see how gorgeously this melts into the skin 💖 - excuse my old lady hands, still searching for a miracle for those 😂

AD/PR* The lovely people at @eskskincare have been AD/PR* The lovely people at @eskskincare have been letting me try out a skincare regime tailored just to my needs. 
I’m so prone to pigmentation and it really bothers me, so it was amazing to be sent a whole set of cleansers, serums and moisturisers for AM & PM specifically designed to tackle it. And after using it for 30 days I can say I’m completely blown away by the results and these products! 

As well as each of the products themselves being amazing it’s also really lovely to just have a set regime to follow, saves so much time and stops my already frazzled brain having to decide which of my many products to use each day!
