One thing’s for sure: minimalism has taken over our feeds and our lives. In the current post-Covid era, many of us have reshaped our habits to simplify our lives – whether it’s maintaining a tidy home, downsizing our wardrobe or streamlining our skincare routine.

We know that it is difficult to whittle your arsenal of beauty products down to just the essentials. But if there’s one product that will inspire you to adopt a ‘less is more’ approach to beauty, it’s a particular multi-tasking product that every French woman and beauty expert swears by.

Say bonjour to Embryolisse Lait-Crème Concentré, a moisturiser that’s perfect for busy individuals. Since its debut in 1950, the Lait Crème Concentré has become a must-have staple in any skincare routine, thanks to its fuss-free formulation and multiple uses.

Read on for all the reasons why we love the Embryolisse Lait-Crème Concentré – and you will too!

1 product, 6 uses

With ‘skiniminalism’ on the rise these past few years, we are always on the hunt for simple and effective products that are easy to use. What’s more, for busy individuals, time is of the essence. Any time-saving product that helps cut down our routine in half without compromising on efficacy is a godsend.

That's exactly what the Lait Crème-Concentré does.

Forget about complicated 10-step skincare routines – all you need is this handy, six-in-one product. You can use the Lait Crème Concentré in many ways: as a face and body moisturiser, makeup remover and primer, soothing mask, post-shave balm, and cuticle cream.

That’s not all! Here’s another handy tip: makeup artists who swear by the Lait Crème Concentré also recommend mixing a little bit of the cream with your favourite foundation to create a tinted moisturiser with a sheer yet flawless coverage.

So whether you’re a skincare minimalist or a maximalist, there’s no denying that Embryolisse’s Lait-Crème Concentré is a must-have addition to every woman’s (and man’s!) beauty arsenal.

Skin-loving ingredients

The secret to the Lait-Crème Concentré versatility and effectiveness is its innovative formulation that has remained unchanged for over seven decades. It is packed with naturally-derived ingredients such as shea butter, beeswax, aloe vera and soy proteins that soothe and pamper the skin.

Leaves a lightweight radiant finish

Some moisturisers can be overly thick and rich, leaving a greasy finish on your skin. But despite the Lait-Crème Concentré’s nourishing ingredients, it remains lightweight. Upon first look, it comes out of the tube in a luxurious, whipped texture. But after gentle application, the cream quickly melts into your skin to leave a silky smooth veil of hydration. The result is a dewy and supple finish that’s never greasy.

Safe and gentle for all skin types

The Lait-Crème Concentré takes the guesswork out of skincare, as it is suitable for all skin types and concerns – even for those with sensitivity. Besides containing naturally-derived ingredients, it is also dermatologically-tested and paraben-free.

Love subtle fragrances? Then you’ll adore the Lait-Crème Concentré’s light jasmine scent that lingers on your skin for hours.

If you prefer a product without fragrances, opt for Lait-Crème Sensitive – the sister product to the Lait-Crème Concentré. Its hypoallergenic formula was specially developed for those with sensitive skin. Unlike some products with fragrances that can trigger irritation or allergies, the Lait-Crème Sensitive is unscented – making it especially safe and suitable for sensitive children and infants alike.

Rave reviews worldwide

Did you know that one tube of the Lait-Crème Concentré is sold every 20 seconds around the world? That’s a true testament to its enduring popularity among skin experts, makeup artists and fans around the world.

The Lait-Crème Concentré was created by a dermatologist over 70 years ago, and since then it has become the go-to product recommended by other dermatologists and skin experts.

What’s more: the moisturiser can be found in practically every makeup artist’s kit. Thanks to its versatility, makeup artists swear by the Lait-Crème Concentré: it can be used to prep their clients’ skin, as a tinted moisturiser when mixed together with foundation, and as a makeup remover at the end of the day.

If you have dry, irritated skin, we definitely recommend the Lait-Crème Concentré. It clinched the award for Most Gentle Drugstore Moisturiser For Dry Skin at the 2023 GirlStyle Beauty Awards, thanks to its rich and creamy formulation that moisturised our tester’s dry, scaly elbows but was still gentle enough not to trigger her eczema.

A lighter alternative for your whole body

Another award-winning product to add to your collection is the Lait-Crème Fluid. As winner of Favourite Lightweight Body Lotion category at the 2023 GirlStyle Beauty Awards, this multi-functional cream is the lighter and more fluid version of the Lait-Crème Concentré.

It still contains the same blend of moisturising and nourishing ingredients. The Lait-Crème Fluid is the perfect body moisturiser to use in humid climates like Singapore’s as it has a light and creamy texture that quickly absorbs into the skin for a soft, velvety finish.

So if you’re looking for a handy, multi-tasking product that is safe for the whole family, look no further than Embryolisse and its range of simple, gentle and effective products! Your skin will thank you for it.
