Why Choose a Cleansing Mousse? Everything You Need to Know
2026-01-15
From cleansing balms to oils, gels and creams, skincare has never offered more choice. One of the newest textures to gain popularity is cleansing mousse – a lightweight, cloud-like texture that first found favour in K-beauty routines before becoming a skincare staple around the world. Combining an airy feel with effective cleansing, it's designed to leave skin feeling fresh, soft and comfortably hydrated. Here's everything you need to know about our Pro-Collagen Cleansing Mousse, and why it might be the perfect addition to your routine.
What Is a Cleansing Mousse?
Unlike traditional foaming cleansers, cleansing mousses are designed to deliver a softer, more cushiony cleansing experience. Many begin as a silky cream before transforming into an airy mousse, combining effective cleansing with a lightweight, comforting texture.
Our Pro-Collagen Hydrating Cleansing Mousse takes this one step further. Its unique cream-to-mousse texture sweeps away makeup, SPF and daily impurities while leaving skin feeling soft, comforted and hydrated rather than stripped or tight. Clinically proven to increase skin hydration by 125% after just one use, it combines cloud-like sensoriality with visible skincare results.*

What Makes Pro-Collagen Hydrating Cleansing Mousse Different?
While many mousse cleansers are traditionally associated with leaving the skin feeling dry, tight, and stripped of moisture, our formula breaks the mould by introducing a creamy mousse texture that is lightweight, comforting, and intensely hydrating. This non-stripping cleansing mousse leaves all skin types, including dry skin, feeling deeply cleansed, refreshed, and plumped with moisture.

How to Use a Cleansing Mousse
Cleansing is the first, and arguably the most important step in your skincare routine. Pro-Collagen Hydrating Cleansing Mousse is ideal for use as a daily, single cleanse or as the perfect partner to our award-winning, bestselling ELEMIS Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm for the ultimate double cleanse.
Typically fitting into your evening skincare routine, your first cleanse should melt the day away – think makeup, SPF, and oil buildup. The second cleanse achieves a deeper clean, removing any tougher impurities that are left before replenishing and resetting the skin to better absorb the steps still to come.
Whether you're looking to simplify your routine or discover a cleanser that leaves skin feeling deeply cleansed without compromising on hydration, Pro-Collagen Hydrating Cleansing Mousse brings together cloud-like comfort and skincare performance in one innovative texture.
