Embryolisse Lait-Crème Concentré

Hello everyone! Today I am very excited to be reviewing something I've been lusting over for years, but for some reason never got around to purchasing until a few months back - Embryolisse's 'Lait-Crème Concentré'. Loved by make-up artists for decades, Embryolisse describes this highly praised product as a 'Multi-function nourishing moisturiser'. At first I was a little confused as to what that meant exactly, but after a few months of daily use I've come to discover what a wonderfully versatile 'moisturiser' this truly is. I'm going to structure this review a little differently to my others and talk about my thoughts in relation to its different uses, rather than a general overview. I'm hoping that this way you can get a feel for just how truly fabulous this little beauty is to have as part of your skincare stash!

Moisturiser
What I purchased the Lait-Crème Concentré for - it's moisturising properties are actually quite surprising. For some reason I assumed this to possess a really thick, creamy texture (something which just sounds all too inviting for dehydrated skin), but it's actually quite runny in consistency! If you're like me and you often associate thickness with higher nourishment, then I wouldn't be put off by this at all. In fact, I've found many benefits to using a moisturiser that has a lighter, more milky consistency, the main of which being its spreadability and short absorption time. A little truly does go a long way and can be built up on any areas where you may perhaps need the extra help. I have been applying this after cleansing with my rediscovered Elemis cleanser (review here) and have found that within a minute I'm left with a gorgeously smooth, fresh face with no grease or moisturiser residue left over...
