When we’re busy, a 10-step skincare routine can feel like a fantasy reserved only for well-rested people with well-balanced schedules (what are those!?).
Heck, even a 5-step routine feels like a luxury when we’re pressed for time.
But lucky for us, the beauty gods have once again gone above and beyond to deliver powerful skincare that works around the clock (so we don’t have to).
This time, it’s the new Active range from cult French pharmacy brand, Embryolisse.
If the name doesn’t ring a bell, you may recognise Embryolisse by their Lait-Crème Concentré Moisturiser, a decades-long favourite of celebs and makeup artists.
While I wouldn’t exactly consider myself super ‘active’ — unless you count actively hunting down Melbourne’s best pain au chocolat — I do love a multi-tasking beauty product that simplifies my routine.
If it gives me five more minutes of morning cuddles with my cat (and actually works), then sign. me. up.
And it seems like a lot of you are, too, with #Skinimalism continuing to dominate our social feeds.
So when I heard the Embryolisse Active range cuts down beauty regimes to just two steps, I wasted no time in scooping up the samples to take home and test.
Read on for my honest review.
