From the rise of skinimalism to the skinification of makeup, it’s clear that we’re craving a return to the less-is-more era of beauty. Think streamlined beauty routines, pared-back faces, and holistic living for naturally healthier skin. And when it comes to our skincare regime, we want to use fewer products that pack a more powerful (and radiance-boosting) punch.
That’s where ceramide capsules come in. With no added water, Elizabeth Arden’s range of ceramide capsules are highly concentrated skincare serums that offer a targeted boost to your routine—in just one step.
But with different formulas for different concerns, how do you know which one is right for you? Whether you’re after all-day hydration, a nourishing refresh, or an overnight skin reset, we’ve got the lowdown on which capsule is your perfect match.
What Is A Ceramide Capsule?
In short, ceramide capsules are skincare serums packaged in 100 per cent biodegradable, single-dose pods. This precise, one-dose format means there’s no second-guessing how much product to use. Plus, they stay protected from light and air until the moment they’re applied.
As for what’s inside, ceramide capsules contain (you guessed it) ceramides. If you’re concerned that you’ve never tried ceramides before, there’s no need to worry; your skin already produces them.
“Ceramides are lipids or fats that occur naturally in high concentrations in the top layers of skin,” says consultant dermatologist, Dr Ophelia Veraitch. “Ceramides effectively bond the skin cells together to create a barrier within the skin’s surface: a protective layer that plumps the skin and locks in moisture.”
Just like collagen, our natural ceramide levels deplete as we age. So ceramide capsules, which are designed to target a range of concerns from hydration to anti-ageing, are the perfect product to restore your skin barrier and replenish ceramide levels.
Which Ceramide Capsule Is Right For You?
• For depuffing: Advanced Light Ceramide Capsules fortify the skin’s barrier to nourish and refine skin.
• For nourishing: Advanced Ceramide Capsules retexturise and support natural collagen to tighten skin.
• For plumping: Hyaluronic Acid Ceramide Capsules plump and trap moisture in to hydrate skin.
• For brightening: Vitamin C Ceramide Capsules visibly brighten and even tone for lacklustre skin.
• For anti-aging: Retinol + Ceramide Capsules smooth fine lines and wrinkles.
Streamline Your Skincare Routine
Thanks to the potency of the pods, ceramide capsules allow you to use fewer products in your daily routine with the same glowy results.
In the morning, start with the nourishing Advanced Ceramide Capsules. Its lightweight formula absorbs quickly, making it an ideal base for makeup or a natural, dewy finish on bare skin. By reinforcing the skin’s defences, it also helps protect against environmental stressors such as pollution and dryness.
At night, the Retinol + Ceramide Capsules step in to support skin renewal while you sleep. Infused with a gentle yet effective form of retinol, it works to refine texture, smooth fine lines, and enhance radiance without excessive irritation. Paired with a hydrating moisturiser, this is the perfect, minimal day-to-night routine to keep your skin smooth, healthy and radiant.
