Sydney Sweeney’s ‘holy grail’ French moisturizer is under $26 today
Between her Syrn lingerie brand and her upcoming films, Sydney Sweeney is one busy starlet.
And while you might never guess it from her on-screen presence, the “Housemaid” star has struggled with acne for years, prompting her to search for skin care that wouldn’t cause a reaction — but still look perfect under makeup.
That’s how she came to swear by the French pharmacy icon Embryolisse Lait-Crème Concentré moisturizer, which is under $26 for a large tube during Amazon’s Holiday Beauty Event (a pre-Black Friday sale that runs through next week).
Made with shea butter and aloe vera, the multifunctional moisturizer can also be used as a hydrating mask, makeup primer or even makeup remover.
Sweeney told The Cut a few years back that after her “Voyeurs” makeup artist, Gillian Chandler, turned her on to Embryolisse, “it became my holy grail.” (It’s a MUA secret weapon used by countless glam squads for red-carpet prep.)

“It’s one of my biggest recommendations for anyone looking for a good lotion,” Sweeney added, sharing that she uses a hefty dollop when applying.
“The White Lotus” alumna’s hardly alone: Gwyneth Paltrow and Karlie Kloss have also name-checked Embryolisse, and it was the only moisturizer used by the iconic Jane Birkin according to her daughter, Charlotte Gainsbourg. (Likewise, Bethenny Frankel discovered the brand’s also-on-sale Radiant Eye Stick while in Cannes.)
Lait-Crème Concentré is so popular that one tube sells every eight seconds globally. It’s even spawned sensitive- and oily-skin versions — plus a retinol alternative anti-wrinkle option — all of which are included in the discounts. (We love Lait-Crème Concentré Sensitive for layering with active serums.)
