Skinnovation: How Elizabeth Arden Retinol Ceramide Capsules Are Changing the Anti-Aging Game

When it comes to Retinol, there’s a love/hate relationship with the age-defying ingredient due to the harsh side effects some experience. But the new Elizabeth Arden Retinol Ceramide Capsules are game changers. Here’s why.

This Retinol is not like the ones you may have tried. If you’re scared of using a product with Retinol (the super collagen-boosting derivative of Vitamin A)  because you’ve heard horror stories or had a bad skin reaction, irritation or dry burn, the new Elizabeth Arden Retinol Ceramide Capsules Line Erasing Night Serum is worth giving this holy grail, skin-rejuvenating ingredient another go.

Why capsule form?

Elizabeth Arden is not new to the perfectly-packed ceramide capsule game. But this time around, the inclusion of Retinol coupled with hydrating emollients and ceramides makes it super gentle for your skin. 

While Retinol is an outstanding ingredient when it comes to boosting collage and plumping up lines and flattening wrinkles, it’s an ingredient that needs care in its delivery system in order to keep it from degrading upon air exposure. (Think about when your vitamin C product turns brown, it’s basically rendered non-effective.)

This is why Elizabeth Arden has cleverly encased retinol in little rose gold-toned cushion capsules. Tests show that by keeping the Retinol tucked away in these single-dose capsules, it maintains the product’s efficacy. In fact, the retinol in these capsules is 76% more potent than unencapsulated form, which means that it’s protected, ensuring its potency.

What are the benefits of Retinol?

Retinol helps speed skin cell turnover while exfoliating the skin’s surface. This, in turn, helps to reveal more even skin tone. More importantly, it helps to improve collagen and elastin to maintain the skin’s structure so it remains smooth, supple and glowing.

What about Retinol’s Harsh Side Effects?

To combat those common irritations and side effects that have scared off so many women from using Retinol, Elizabeth Arden Retinol Ceramide Line Erasing Night Serum capsules include skin barrier strengthening and moisturizing ceramides, to help skin maintain a healthy moisture balance and prevent the potentially drying effect of retinol. It also has emollient oils to also help with hydration and collagen-boosting peptides

It’s also preservative and fragrance free.
