If you’re looking for skincare that comes with the celebrity stamp of approval, the Netflix starlet Michelle Keegan has previously shared her love for the Embryolisse Lait-Crème Concentré Multi-Purpose Moisturiser, which you can pick up for under £10 on Amazon, where’s it captured the hearts with over 22K reviews and a glowing 72% 5-star ratings.
The ultra-hydrating moisturiser is not only great for dry skin but is also safe to use during pregnancy. The Embryolisse Lait-Crème Concentré is a fantastic multi-tasking product to have in your beauty kit. It can hydrate your skin and act as a primer to prep your skin before makeup. It can also be used as a repairing mask, makeup remover, cleanser, post-shave balm, or even a baby-care product, making it perfect for new mums and mums-to-be.
Known for her flawless, dewy-looking skin, this affordable skincare staple seems the secret to Michelle’s complexion. She previously told Closer: “I always recommend using a good primer. A heavy-duty moisturiser like the Embryolisse Lait-Crème Concentré works really well and is really good value for money.”
2. Weleda Skin Food Dry Skin Moisturiser

Be rid of those pesky dry and flaky patches this winter with the product Molly-Mae Hague has dubbed “essential” for fending off her dry-skin flare-ups.
The rich and intense moisturiser from Weleda went viral on TikTok this year for its nourishing and deeply hydrating properties, which have been praised as “highly effective” in the battle against dry skin. The natural ingredients work to calm and moisturise, leaving skin feeling soothed and healed – and it’s not just a sensation with skincare fanatics online, it’s made its way onto Molly-Mae’s list of holy grail beauty products.
Molly-Mae shared with her fans that she is “moisturiser obsessed” and that this wonder product from Weleda is “one of my favourites”. The Love Island star-turned-influencer went on to say “Through the winter – you need this if you get super dry skin like I do”.
And it isn’t just Molly-Mae who’s obsessed, as this skincare marvel has amassed over 34K reviews with an impressive 4.6 out of 5 rating.
3. Rael Miracle Pimple Patches
Shop here for £14
Also, making the Cut is a go-to brand for pimple patches, as these miracle workers from Rael boast over 70K reviews, with an overwhelming 63% rating them 5 out of 5.
Made with absorbent hydrocolloids, these pimple patches are non-drying and come in two sizes to better tackle your outbreaks. Boasting a clear, matte finish and extra-thin outer edge that seamlessly blends in with all skin tones, these patches are set to last all day or night, thanks to their tapered edges that adhere to the skin.
One 5-star giver leaves their songs of praise for these gems, saying: “I’ve tried other pimple patches and none of them do much for me. But these are so great and never leave my skin dry underneath afterwards. I find that my spots heal quicker when I leave these on overnight, and they don’t look as irritated as when I just leave them to heal on their own. Definitely recommend.”
While another fan shares: “Absolutely love these patches. They are the best ones I’ve found so far.”
