Celebrating Ceramide Science. 25 years young.

In 1990, Elizabeth Arden researchers, seeking to find the essential “youth factors” that promote younger looking skin, made an important discovery.  They found that the natural production of ceramides, collagen, elastin and essential nutrients like calcium all contribute to skin’s healthy look, but can be compromised by age and environmental aggression.

Of these, ceramides, which comprise 50% of essential lipids found in the skin’s barrier layer, are critical because they help maintain the integrity of skin’s first line of defense against aging signs.  This research led Elizabeth Arden to develop bio-engineered, skin identical Ceramides, to create pure, potent single dose capsules to deliver these precious and protective elements to skin resulting in the development of our now iconic Ceramide capsules.

“The barrier layer is the skin you see.  A healthy barrier means strong, smooth, healthy looking skin,” explains Art Pellegrino, Vice President Research and Development Elizabeth Arden. “Loss of skin’s natural ceramides in the barrier layer can lead to a loss of moisture, roughness, fine lines and wrinkles and also allow outside irritants to get into the skin.” 

Today, Ceramide Capsules Daily Youth Restoring Serum is the world’s leading capsule technology and the centerpiece of the Ceramide Youth Restoring skincare line.

Elizabeth Arden’s iconic golden capsules are airtight and sealed for effectiveness, eliminating the need for preservatives and emulsifiers.  Each single dose capsule delivers a concentrated application of skin-essential ceramide benefits in the most efficient way.

Key Ingredients

• Ceramide Lipid Complex (CLX) – a combination of:
o Ceramides 1 & 6 - skin identical lipids that enhance skin’s own natural protective moisture barrier and help to retexturise, exfoliate, and smooth skin.
o Linoleic Acid & Linolenic Acid are essential fatty acids that work with ceramides to help maintain the integrity of the skin’s lipid barrier for healthy-looking skin.
o Phytosphingosines are lipids naturally found in the stratum corneum and considered to be part of skin’s natural anti-microbial system.

• Double Retinyl Technology is a combination of Retinyl Linoleate and Retinyl Palmitate exclusive to Elizabeth Arden. These Vitamin A derivatives work to smooth lines and wrinkles and help support skin’s own natural collagen for a firmer look.  Retinyls also improve skin’s clarity for an even-toned appearance.

• Borage Seed Extract is a powerful skin soother that soothes sensitive skin.

• Vitamin E is a skin conditioner that also provides protection against environmental stress.
