Formulated in Paris in 1950 by Dermatologist Dr Tricot, the timeless French beauty elixir Embryolisse Lait-Crème Concentré has renewed its packaging, but don’t panic. The formula is the same.

Packed with a great array of ingredients, such as Aloe Vera and Omega-rich Squalene, this iconic French moisturiser goes beyond a simple moisturiser. It effortlessly helps with elasticity and smooths texture, thanks to the infusion of soy proteins, vitamin E, and essential fatty acids. So expect a priming moisturiser that works under makeup, as skincare and more… 

Before the social media era, when products were not becoming viral in a day, Embryolisse Lait-Crème Concentré had already become a clandestine weapon of choice for makeup artists, models, and dermatologists worldwide. Acting as a multitasking cream, it seamlessly functions as a primer, moisturiser, and makeup remover, earning its status among beauty experts.

Embryolisse Lait-Crème Concentre Review

The first time I got my hands on this cult French skincare was early in my career, and since then, it has always had a place in my beauty cabinet and travel bags and let me tell you, it is not only because of its French roots…

While the revamped packaging might catch your eye, the formula is what really matters. One thing worth mentioning upfront is its fragrance content, a point to consider for those with sensitive skin. However, despite being paraben-free, the scent feels good in my personal opinion and adds a subtle, luxurious touch to the experience.

Every time I’ve been on set, I’ve noticed makeup artists always have a tube of Embryolisse Lait-Crème Concentré in their kits. The reason is not only because this cream has great ingredients but also because of the way it feels on the skin. The magic begins the moment it touches the skin, as it drinks in all the hydrating goodness like a thirsty sponge. My routine when I use Embryolisse cream is like any other moisturiser – small dabs on my face, cheeks, chin, and forehead using the pads of my middle and ring fingers; I gently massage the cream into my skin; any excess finds its way to my chest and shoulders, doubling as a body moisturiser.

The aftermath is a sight to behold – dewy, hydrated skin with a healthy sheen and a plumpness like no other. But what’s more impressive is how well the moisturiser lingers throughout the day, eliminating the need for face mist or extra hydration. Even as the day winds down and I wash my face, the skin still looks hydrated, all thanks to the lasting impact of Embryolisse Lait-Crème Concentré.

In a world inundated with skincare options, this French gem stands out for a reason.

Six-in-one moisturiser

  • For daily hydration: Apply a thin layer all over the face and even the body. 
  • For a nourishing mask: Apply a thick layer all over the face or dry areas like elbows and knees for fifteen minutes.
  • For gentle makeup removal: Apply a thin layer to the face and wipe away with a cotton pad or soft cloth.
  • To achieve glowing, primed skin under makeup: Apply a thin layer to the face. For extra dewy results, apply makeup quickly, before the cream fully absorbs.
  • Calm red, irritated skin after shaving: By applying a thick layer and allowing it to absorb.
  • Soothe rashes, grazes and irritation: With a thin protective layer.

If you need more reasons to fall in love with this cult French moisturiser, Kourtney Kardashian acknowledging Lait-Crѐme Concentré as a makeup artist must-have, emphasises its gentle nature and richness in essential fatty acids and vitamins, making it an ideal primer pre-makeup.

Lady Gaga, known for her glowing skin, shared in an interview with Allure Magazine” I’m kind of old-school. I put Embryolisse Lait-Crème Concentré all over my face and just wipe it off”.

Also high fashion makeup artist Pat McGrath, an industry icon, succinctly expresses her affection for Lait-Crѐme:”I can’t go a day without my Embryolisse.”
