Pregnancy can often bring with it some unwelcome skin changes
For me, it was the resurgence of hormonal acne that threw a wrench in my otherwise carefully curated, pregnancy-safe skincare routine.
I’d been reluctant to pare back my steps entirely because I genuinely loved the products I was using – but as the breakouts worsened, I knew I had to try something new.
I decided to give the Embryolisse Hydra-Serum and Lait-Crème Concentré a go, and they completely transformed my skin in a matter of weeks.
Initially, I was skeptical that such a minimalist approach would work because I’ve always been the type of person to have excessive skincare steps.
But after reading about the hydrating and soothing benefits of these two cult-favourites, I decided to give them a shot.
For the last five weeks, they’ve been the only products I’ve used, aside from adding in SPF during the day – and the results have honestly been great.
The Embryolisse Hydra-Serum is a hydration powerhouse, packed with hyaluronic acid and white water lily extract that plumps and calms the skin.
It felt like a literal drink of water for my face, immediately soothing the tightness and irritation I’d been dealing with.
Following up with the Lait-Crème Concentré, which is a rich but lightweight moisturiser, sealed in that hydration without clogging my pores.
In just a few weeks, my skin completely calmed down. The redness subsided, my breakouts have nearly completely cleared up, and my complexion has started looking brighter.
I was genuinely so impressed at how well my skin responded to such a pared-back routine.
It turns out that simplifying things with products that focus on hydration and barrier repair was exactly what I needed to combat pregnancy-induced acne.
So, if you’re struggling with pregnancy skin woes, I can’t recommend the Embryolisse Hydra-Serum and Lait-Crème Concentré enough.
