Embryolisse Lait Creme Concentrate Nourishing Moisturiser 15ml

What it is

Lait-Crème Concentré is a multitasking facial cream designed for normal to very dry skin (though many skin types use it) that serves as a moisturiser, primer, makeup base, mask and post-shave treatment. 
The 15 ml size is the travel or trial size of this iconic product.

Key Benefits & Features

• Deep hydration & nourishment: The formula helps to replenish essential fatty acids and vitamins, helping the skin barrier and comfort dry, tight-feeling areas. 

• Multi-use: It can be used as a day/night cream, a makeup primer/base, a hydrating mask or even as an after-shave balm

• Creamy yet supple texture: It offers a “satin film” finish that leaves skin feeling soft and smooth. 

• French-made, long-standing in pharmacy skincare tradition (since the 1950s) and trusted by makeup artists and dermatologists. 

Key Ingredients & Their Roles

Some of the important ingredients/web-listed ones include:

• Shea Butter (Butyrospermum Parkii) — a rich emollient, helps to deeply nourish and protect. 

• Aloe Vera (Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract) — soothing, hydrating, good for calming stressed skin. 

• Soy Protein (Hydrolyzed Soy Protein) — supports texture smoothing and gives skin a supple feel.

• Beeswax (Cera Alba) — helps form a light protective barrier on the skin to lock in moisture. 

• Other typical cream ingredients: oil/emollients, moisturizing glycerides, and fragrant/parfume components. (Check full list for intolerances) 

How to Use

• On clean, dry skin, in the morning and/or evening. Apply a small amount, gently massage until absorbed. 

• As a primer/under makeup: Use a thin layer after moisturiser, then apply foundation/other makeup. 

• As a mask: Apply a thicker coat, leave on for ~10 minutes, then blot/tissue off excess. 

• As post-shave or for moments when skin feels compromised (dry/irritated) — the formula’s comfort features support barrier repair. 

Who It’s Best For

• Skin that is dry to very dry, or that needs deep nourishment. People who appreciate a multi-tasking product (so fewer items to carry when travelling).

• Users who like a cream that doubles as makeup base + skin treatment.

• Those who don’t mind a richer texture (and some fragrance) in exchange for comfort and nourishment.

Precautions & Things to Consider

• Texture: Some users note that it is richer/heavier and may feel more “creamy” or even somewhat occlusive on oily skin. > “i have combination, eczema prone skin… As soon as I apply it: breakouts, redness and hives.”

• Fragrance: Contains parfum and beeswax, which some sensitive skins may dislike/irritate. > “the fragrance bothers me also.” 

• Oily or acne-prone skin: Because of emollients/oils, those skin types should patch test or use smaller amounts to see how skin reacts.

• One user: > “I got the cream but it makes my face look like a wok, it’s that greasy! didn’t break me out, tho.” 

• Always check latest ingredient list (brands can change formulas) and ensure authenticity. Some Reddit users mention differences in texture across batches. 

Overall Impression

The Embryolisse Lait-Crème Concentré (15 ml) is a luxurious, multi-use moisturiser with a strong heritage in French pharmacy skincare. If your skin is on the drier side or is in need of nourishment and you like the idea of a product that can serve several roles (moisturiser, mask, primer), this is a very good pick.
However, if you have very oily skin, are sensitive to fragrance, or prefer ultra-light textures, you might want to either test first (which the 15 ml size is perfect for) or consider a lighter alternative.
