The $42 product, available on French Beauty Co’s website, is so popular that one unit sells every 13 seconds globally.

Since launching years ago, it has gained a cult following of celebrities like Sydney Sweeney, Karlie Kloss and Elle Macpherson.
It also has legions of fans in regular shoppers, who love the fact the moisturiser is deeply hydrating as a daily cream, as well as serving five other functions.
The hydrating formula can be used as a moisturiser, mask, cleanser, makeup primer, after-shave balm and after-sun soother.

As a moisturiser, it is second to none.
Both lightweight and intensely hydrating, it works as well on sensitive skin as it does on combination.
According to Embryolisse, the formula has barely changed since it was devised in the 1950s.
Today in 2024, it remains true to a sensitive skin-loving formula comprising essential fatty acids and vitamins such as soy protein, shea butter, aloe vera and beeswax.
These all work together to gently hydrate and nourish the skin, while boosting its overall elasticity — which results in a firmer, younger complexion overnight.

But the cream’s uses don’t stop there.
Others love to use it to remove makeup, cleanse, prime and even after shaving your legs.
The cult product is often passed down from mother to daughter in French households for generations.
Reviews online for the Embryolisse product are glowing, and it has regularly been described as a “24 hour miracle cream”.
“This is cult for a reason,” one reviewer wrote.
“So beautifully hydrating but never causes breakouts like many nourishing moisturisers can. I even use this on my young daughter’s skin if she is particularly dry. Love it and will never go back!”

Another added: “This deserves its reputation. Really lovely. Creamy but not thick. Blends well. Highly recommended.”
While a third said: “This is the bomb! Have been using this product for about a year now and I can’t rave enough about how great my skin is looking.
“I have very sensitive skin that reacts to so many products, however no such problems with Embryolisse. I encourage anyone looking for a gentle but effective moisturiser to give Embryolisse moisturiser a chance.”
Others have described the moisturiser as an “absolute gamechanger” and “phenomenal”.

Makeup artist Susan Lilian’s tips on how to create model-worthy radiance with Embryolisse
Prepare the base
An absolute game-changer for your skin, it truly adjusts the finish of the foundation and the way it sits.
Embryolisse Lait-Crème Concentre has been a makeup artist secret for a long time and I am a devoted user of this icon. Its lightweight yet super-hydrating formula primes and moisturises the skin leaving a natural, radiant finish that has never failed me on a job.
It is the true hero of the skin prep on the runway this year. I also always keep a powder exfoliant in my kit to slough away dry skin build up to reveal a smooth, glowy complexion.
Massage
Bring radiance to the skin by massaging the face either with fingers or a gua-sha tool. Massage irons out skin puffiness, relaxes the muscles and delivers a flush of freshness to the cheeks.
Amplify your highlighter
Amplify your glow even more by blending a small amount of the Embryolisse Lait-Crème Concentre with your favourite liquid or cream highlighter. This technique adds an immediate boost of radiance to the skin.
It’s all about the finish
To finish the skin glow, dab a dollop of a rich balm to the highpoints of the face. I love the nourishing Cicalisse Cream from Embryolisse and seal the look with a hydrating spritz of a mist or facial setting spray.
Beauty sleep
Well rested skin is glowing skin. I always advise models before a show to get a minimum of eight hours sleep and use an overnight sleep mask, which is like beauty sleep on steroids.
Embryolisse Lait-Crème Concentre is so versatile and one of its many uses is as an overnight hydrating mask or a quick 10-minute flash mask.
Don’t forget the body
To continue the glow, apply a lightweight yet nourishing body cream to neck, shoulders and decolletage for an all-over radiance.
