Everyone is aware of the Embryolisse Lait-Creme Concentre face moisturizer after the Pixiwoo sisters made it famous several years ago in their videos, but what do you know about the rest of Embryolisse‘s products?

I’m lucky enough that my brother lives in France, so I get the opportunity to try some brands I don’t always have access to in Canada. Whenever him or my parents, who often visit, come back from France, I often ask them to pick me up skincare items from the pharmacies. Last year my dad came back with the Embryolisse Hydra-Masque (19€) – an intense care hydrating mask for all skin types.

The mask is white and creamy, but not stiff. The instructions indicate you apply it to clean skin and let it sit for 5-15 minutes. It also says you can rinse it off after use OR leave it on your skin to soak in over time. I always rinse it off because the texture is too thick to reasonably sink into my skin fully over time.

The Hydra-Masque‘s texture is thick, but it doesn’t look like a white paste on my skin. Mostly it’s just shiny. I let it sit for the full 15 minutes, then rinse it off with warm water. I’ve been using this every month or so for the last year and still have a little bit left in the bottle. My skin always feels extra hydrated after I’ve done this mask, and I’ve never felt the need to apply a moisturizer after using it, even later on in the day. I also find it doesn’t have much of a scent, which is an enormous blessing in a face mask. Two thumbs up over here!

Let me know if you’ve tried anything else by Embryolisse – I’m looking to expand on my collection!
