often misunderstood. A derivative of Vitamin
A, retinol is prized for its collagen-stimulating,
skin-regenerating abilities. In essence, it works
by speeding up cell turnover, allowing dead
surface skin cells to gently slough away and fresh
new cells to come to the surface. This process
occurs at terrific speed, so it can often cause
significant dryness, peeling and flaking. But it
can also work wonders on skin that is starting to
show the effects of ageing: fading fine lines,
refining texture and even tightening pores. The
trick, as ever, is knowing how to use it.
This is where science comes in; the creators of
Elizabeth Arden’s iconic Ceramide Capsules
have come up with another marvel. The new
Retinol Ceramide Capsules Line Erasing Night
Serum contains Elizabeth Arden’s bio-
engineered, skin-identical ceramides (which
replenish the skin’s natural lipid barrier),
peptides (to restore lost elasticity) and
nourishing oils (to soften and hydrate), as well
as pure retinol, to reveal youthful-looking skin.
It’s not just the texture that’s different to other
retinol-based products (velvety and swiftly
absorbed) but the intelligent delivery system.
Elizabeth Arden’s time-trusted capsule
technology enables the skin-perfecting serum to
be carefully contained and dispensed only when
required. The capsule format protects the retinol
inside from damaging light and air, maintaining
the stability of the product and ensuring the
potency of each and every application. In fact,
studies have shown that the retinol in thesecapsules is 76 per cent more potent than that in
non-encapsulated equivalents. Simply twist the
nodule and the retinol-rich serum will be
released, as fresh as the day it was encapsulated.
Each capsule contains enough product for the
entire face and neck, so there’s no chance of
overdoing it (the pre-measured doses mean that
each application delivers the precise amount of
retinol required for visible skin transformation).
After all, using excessive amounts of retinol
won’t improve the skin’s quality any faster or
more noticeably – it will simply irritate it.
But if retinol is such a wonder ingredient,
shouldn’t it be used around the clock? The
simple answer is no. As it can make the skin
hypersensitive to sunlight, it’s best used just
before bed. Incidentally, this is also the optimal
time to enhance cell turnover, as skin naturally
regenerates itself throughout the night.
The following morning, retinol’s
transformative, youth-boosting powers are
immediately evident. Skin suddenly feels smooth,
silky and – thanks to the moisture-boosting
ceramides – it won’t suffer any of the dryness
often associated with retinol products. Pores willappear less visible, skin tone will be more even
and fine lines will diminish. Of the 54 women
who trialled Retinol Ceramide Capsules Line
Erasing Night Serum, 94 per cent saw a visible
improvement in their skin’s texture, while 96 per
cent agreed that their skin looked healthier.
And so can yours. Simply visit your local
Elizabeth Arden counter, where a beauty
consultant will administer a thorough skincare
consultation to assess your suitability for the
product. While you’re there, why not book in

selected counters)? There’s the Booster Bar
Customised Oxygen Blast, which breathes new

peel that makes complexions gleam with health.
