A while back, we gave Elizabeth Arden’s golden pods a try with our mums, to test out the anti-aging powers of the brand’s iconic ceramide capsules. You pop them open and apply the serum, which feels like a moisturising oil, all over the face. With ceramide as the key ingredient, skin barrier is kept strong, moisture is kept inside the skin, allowing skin to look younger.
So now, meet these:
Yes, the golden capsules now come in fun-sized versions, and these are made for the eye area. Ceramide makes even more sense for this part of the face, since the skin there is extra delicate, and even more in need of the powers of ceramide, which makes up almost half of the essential lipids in the skin’s strateum corneum layer.
The Elizabeth Arden Advanced Ceramide Capsules Daily Youth Restoring Eye Serum works by minimising the appearance of fine lines, crow’s feet and puffiness by boosting the skin’s natural collagen; upon application, the boost of hydration also immediately strengthens the skin’s natural protective moisture barrier. And yes, it’s safe even for sensitive eyes.
Capsules really are a clever skincare idea – you’ll always know that you are applying just the right amount. They’re biodegradable too, if you are about the environment and all; also fragrance and preservative-free.
Now you must be wondering: how on earth do you use these?
Step 1: Twist the top part of the capsule to open, and squeeze out the serum onto your fingertips by gently pressing on the rounded part of the capsule.
Step 2: Apply onto the eye area with your ring finger, beginning at the outer corners and moving inwards to the nose.
To complete the massage, you can also move your finger upwards to the browbone, and moving back towards the outer corners.
Step 3: Repeat this a few times, until the serum has been completely absorbed. The eye area should feel immediately refreshed, smoother, and nicely moisturised.
All of the above makes for a quick eye care routine that shouldn’t take longer than a few minutes. Pair this with the Advanced Ceramide Capsules Daily Youth Restoring Serum for the face, which as we found out when we tried them with our mums, has a nice instant skin-smoothing and hydrating effect. You need ceramide on all parts of your face anyway.
