It’s no secret that French skincare is some of the best and most popular in the world. The women there are known for their perfectly glowing skin which is something the majority of us want to emulate – for obvious reasons.

While there was once a time we’d have to trek across the water to get our hands on cult brands like La Roche Posay, Bioderma and Avene, these days things have changed and there’s a multitude of well-loved French brands available here on UK shores.

One of those products now widely available here is Embryolisse Lait Crème Concentré Nourishing Moisturiser. It’s a rich, versatile lotion that truly does have a myriad of benefits. The Stylist beauty team often sees it being used by make-up artists backstage at fashion week to prep and hydrate models’ skin, and it’s heavily recommended by dermatologists and skin experts, too. 

Embryolisse can be used as a primer, a moisturiser, and even as a make-up remover or a post-shave lotion.  It’s formulated with a blend of essential fatty acids and skin-loving vitamins, meaning it’s able to feed skin everything it needs to keep it balanced, as well as helping to speed up skin cell renewal which keeps skin plump and hydrated.

It’s a super gentle cream and the limited ingredients mean that it’s suitable for both sensitive and irritated skin. It can be used all over the face, massaged into clean skin morning and night, or as a more targeted treatment and applied directly onto specific dry or flaky areas, particularly if you’re using high-strength retinoids or in colder weather.  

The best thing about Embryolisse Lait Crème Concentré Nourishing Moisturiser though is the price. It starts from just £13 for 30ml, and since a little bit of cream goes a long way, the tubes last for a long time – which is why there’s one sold every 23 seconds.

It’s a true multi-tasking hero product that everybody should have in their skincare arsenal.
