I hope your doing well Today I will be reviewing the product Hydra-mat Emulsion freshness care by the brand Embryolisse. I've heard about this particular brand in the beauty community. Mostly I hear about the moisturizer lait creme concentre which a moisturiser for dry to extremely dry skin. Since I don't have dry skin I'm more combination oily. I had to look for another product that would suite my skin type. Hautelook was having a sale on Embryolisse products a few months ago and decided to try this French skin care brand.
Embryolisse- more than 60 years of experience of pharmaceutical skincare products
In 1950, a dermatologist at a hospital in Paris specialising in skin pathologies created Embryolisse Lait-creme concentre. It was quickly taken up by the medical profession because of its amazing effectiveness and passed on from generation to generation - sixty years later it is now a legend with millions of devotees all over the world.
- It had formed the basis of a full range of dermo-cosmetic care products developed by laboratories Embryolisse using the same philosophy - providing the skin with its essential requirements - and maintaining the same demands in terms of effectiveness and tolerance.
- The success of Embryolisse is based on visible results produced by the selection of natural ingredients with a long medicinal tradition (nourishing, moisturising complex rich in vitamins and essential fatty acids, combining shea butter, beeswax, aloe vera and soy proteins) combined withe leading-edge dermatological active ingredients such as hyaluronic acid and collage.
- It Acts like a nourishing sap, providing the skin with all it's essential nutriments, saturating it with water, leaving healthy, soft and toned, repulped and visibly smoothed; even the driest most sensitive skin will feel well and truly pampered.
- Maximum tolerance - Embryolisse products are developed under pharmaceutical supervision and tested by dermatologist. To minimise the likelihood of allergy, they are formulated using a limited number of carefully selected ingredients - there are no unnecessary ingredients so that the skin is sensitised unnecessarily. There is only what is essential - quite simply.

When I first received the product I noticed that there is no English translation on the box. Duh it's french skin care. The products comes in a squeeze tube you get 1.4 fl oz or 40 ml regular price is $40 USD I bought mine from hautelook.com so I paid $28 USD it still on the pricey side but I really wanted to try this French skin care brand so I took the plunge.
I just take a pea size amount and spread the moisturiser evenly on to face and neck. The moisturizer feels very light on the skin. The moisturizer feels like it is easily absorbed and doesn't leave a tacky feeling like most moisturizers do. The moisturizer will hydrate your dry spots and mattify your oilyer parts
The moisturizer held up pretty well on its own, I used this during mild spring weather I was mostly in doors it kept me oil free for 6 hrs without touch ups.
In the summer or hotter weather this moisturizer kept me oil free for about 4 hours without any touch ups.
Pros:
- Kept me oil free for most of the day.
- The moisturizer is easily absorbed by my skin and did not leave any greasy or tacky feeling.
- Good day time moisturizer because it can control oil for a few hours depending on your skin and weather.
- Perfect for layering under makeup, will provide extra oil control and will help your make up last longer.
- Does not contain any sun protection and will not cause any flash back with any flash photography.
- It's a light cream but hydrating, I didn't feel any tight or dry spots at all.
Cons:
- Expensive, regular price for this product is $40 USD. Try to keep an eye out for this product any discount website.
- Does not contain any sun protection, you'll need to apply a separate sunscreen/sunblock if your using this moisturizer in the day time.
- Can be hard to find, can be purchased online at Embryolisse.com, hautelook.com, certain specialty stores check the website for stores that carry Embryolisse products.
- Has a mild musky scent but it's not irritating.
