Embryolisse Lait-Crème Concentré, a French moisturizer originally created in 1950, has achieved cult status among celebrities and beauty enthusiasts alike. The product is reportedly used by figures including Kim Kardashian, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Sydney Sweeney. It is currently available for £16.50.
Celebrities have praised the moisturizer for its effectiveness. Gwyneth Paltrow has referred to it as her "miracle moisturizer," while Sydney Sweeney noted that it helps her skin and keeps makeup in place. Lady Gaga reportedly uses it to hydrate her skin and remove makeup. Elle MacPherson described it as a "no-nonsense, good quality cream."
The product's enduring popularity is attributed to its versatility. It functions as a 6-in-1 product, serving as a moisturizer, makeup base or primer, cleansing milk, hydrating face mask, after-shave balm, and after-sun treatment. This multi-functionality has made it a staple in makeup bags and backstage at fashion events for decades.
First introduced in 1950, Embryolisse Lait-Crème Concentré has remained a consistent presence in the beauty industry. Its widespread adoption by celebrities and makeup artists has contributed to its reputation as an iconic skincare item. The brand states that one tube of the moisturizer is now sold every seven seconds worldwide.
Other beauty products mentioned in relation to celebrity use include Weleda Skin Food, the Medicube booster pro, and Bioderma's Micellar Water. Astral's Face and Body Moisturiser, known for its affordability, is also cited as a favorite of Joanna Lumley.
