I originally bought Embryolisse because I kept seeing makeup artists mention it, and now I understand why. It makes my skin feel moisturized without leaving a thick layer underneath my makeup. I’ve even started using a little on days when I’m not wearing makeup because my skin just likes it. One of those purchases that quietly became part of my routine.
Embryolisse is simple, but sometimes that’s exactly what I want. The moisturizer leaves my skin soft and works really well under makeup, although I don’t think it’s the right choice if you’re looking for a product that targets specific skin concerns.
This product contains mineral oil and strong synthetic fragrance, which clogged my pores almost overnight. I woke up with tiny whiteheads all over my cheeks. If you are prone to acne, stay far away.
I keep a tube in my makeup bag because it has saved me on so many rushed mornings. When my skin is dry, it gives me a much smoother base and my foundation behaves better. Very simple product, but one I actually finish instead of forgetting about.
I first tried this because a makeup artist recommended it. Foundation really does sit nicely over it, so now I keep a tube beside my makeup instead of with my skincare.
Way too heavy and mineral-oil dense for acne-prone skin. It gave me clogged pores and tiny whiteheads across my forehead after just two days of use.
A classic for a reason. My skin feels moisturized, and foundation goes on much smoother when I use this underneath.
The moisturizer leaves my skin soft and works beautifully under makeup. I also love the simple tube packaging because it’s easy to squeeze out every last bit instead of wasting product in a jar.
The moisturizer leaves my skin feeling soft and nourished all day long. It’s simple, effective, and works beautifully under makeup.
I use it as a daily moisturizer, a makeup priming cream, and a moisturizing mask. It gives the skin a gorgeous, plump satin finish that makeup artists worldwide swear by.
Embryolisse moisturizer keeps my skin hydrated throughout the day without clogging pores. It works especially well under foundation.
This cream is way too overhyped and relies heavily on old school, basic ingredients. The primary moisturizing agents are mineral oil and paraffin wax, which completely suffocated my skin
The Lait-Crème works great as a moisturizer and primer. Very hydrating, but can feel a bit rich for oily skin types.
The cream worked nicely as a makeup base and kept my skin smooth. My complaint is that it felt greasy during hot weather.
works but slowly. patience needed i guess
Not the cheapest but it lasts longer than I expected so kinda balances out.
My skin freaked out after a long-haul flight and change in climate; Embryolisse’s Lait-Crème Concentre was the comfort solution. No fragrance shock, silky feel, and layers well. It’s not flashy with actives, so if you’re chasing big visible changes you might need to supplement—but for recovery it’s gold.
The Lait-Crème Concentré hydrates perfectly and doubles as a primer. French pharmacy staple that never fails.
I saw a lot of good reviews for this product, but it felt too greasy on my skin. The tube packaging is convenient, though. Maybe better for winter or dry climates.
Nothing special from other skin care products though it is absorb easily by the skin for moisturizing effect.
The Lait-Crème Concentré is such a classic. I use it as both a moisturizer and a primer. Great for dry days, though a bit heavy for summer
The same moisturizing effect as those products available in the market with even a lesser price.
The texture is silky smooth — love applying it.
The Lait-Crème Concentré is my go-to primer-moisturizer combo.
Lightweight and deeply hydrating! This cream absorbs quickly, feels fresh on the skin, and delivers lasting moisture without any heaviness. Perfect for everyday use, especially under makeup.
