A light daily moisturiser that keeps shine down without drying the skin
Embryolisse Mattifying Moisturizer is a light face moisturiser for combination to oily skin, including sensitive skin, that hydrates while keeping shine under control. Its formula pairs mattifying powders, which absorb excess sebum for an instant matte finish, with vegetable glycerin and squalane to keep the skin comfortable. Organic turmeric extract helps with blemishes and marks, so the complexion looks more even over time. With 98% natural-origin ingredients, it can be used morning and evening, on the whole face or only on the T-zone.
The texture
A soft, light cream that sinks in quickly and leaves a velvety, matte finish rather than a film. It has a light fresh scent.
Who it suits
- Combination skin that gets shiny on the T-zone by midday
- Oily skin that still needs a moisturiser
- Visible pores and a slightly uneven complexion
- Teens and adults (12+) looking for a simple daily cream
Worth knowing before you buy: The formula contains fragrance. Very dry or mature skin may find it too light on its own, especially in winter; Embryolisse Lait-Crème Fluide+ is the richer, multi-use option in the same range.
How long one tube lasts
Used morning and evening on the whole face, a 50ml tube lasts around 2 months. If you only apply it on the T-zone, it lasts closer to 3 months.
