Want to know what moisturiser is dubbed the holy grail among A-list celebrities and top make up artists?
It's not a pricey, hard-to-find secret concoction, but actually a French moisturiser you'll find on the shelves Boots for £13. The name? Embryolisse Lait-Crème Concentré.
The moisturiser was created in Paris by dermatologists over 60 years ago, and now sells a whopping one product every 23 seconds.
Luckily for us, you don't have to catch a flight to pick up the magic potion, as it's available at retailers such as Boots and Look Fantastic for just £13 for 30ml or £20 for 75ml.
With fans like Elle Macpherson, who at 53 and still looking incredible, giving it high praise - "What I am particular about is moisturisers. My favourite is French pharmacy moisturiser Embryolisse. It’s a no-nonsense, good quality cream”. It's no wonder this affordable beauty product is getting its moment in the spotlight.
Scarlett Johansson, Khloe Kardashian, Kim Kardashian, Ariana Grande, Lady Gaga and Michelle Keegan are all fans of the brand too - and if it's good enough for Kimmy K, it's good enough for us.
Hailed as the “anti ageing wonder cream” by a host of backstage make up artists, Embryolisse Lait-Crème Concentré is rich in essential fatty acids and vitamins, which are ideal for creating smooth, supple and wrinkle free skin.
The multipurpose moisturiser can be used as a skin primer or daily moisturiser to hydrate skin, or as a make up remover - the formula contains water and Stearic acid which is great for lifting dirt and make up from the skin. It's versatility is another reason it's so popular.
The cream currently has a five-star rating on beauty website cultbeauty.co.uk, with one happy shopper writing: 'Does what it says and is wonderful at it's job.'
Another posted: 'It's absolutely fantastic! Very nourishing and makes the skin looks healthy!,' and a third wrote: 'I’m on my sixth or seventh Embryolisse tube and my daughter's use it too.
'It’s good for all ages, all skin types (on an adolescent skin I would say a little goes a long way) all occasions.'
Skincare fans with slightly more sensitive skin can opt for the Lait-Creme Sensitive, £24.99 for 100ml which has been branded a 'hero' product because of its unbelievable 7-in-1 uses.
You can also buy the Lait-Creme Sensitive from a number of online beauty retailers including Feelunique.com, Cultbeauty.co.uk and Lookfantastic.com.
