“The Hyaluronic Acid Ceramide Capsules Hydra-Plumping Serum from Elizabeth Arden offers intense hydration with a twist, designed to truly quench the skin.”
This product can help improve hydration of the skin with the two types of ingredients.
The first type is called “humectants”:
these ingredients help attract water.
When humectants are on the surface of the skin, they “pull in” the moisture from the outside environment, or from
within deeper layers of the skin. The following ingredients in this product do the job:
sodium hyaluronate, butylene glycol.
This product also contains ingredients called “occlusives”. They help reduce the speed with which our skin loses moisture to the outside environment. These ingredients also help soften the upper layer of the skin, so it feels less tight and nicer to the touch. The following ingredients in this product do the job: caprylic/capric triglyceride, dimethicone.
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: ceramide ng, ceramide np, ceramide ns, palmitoyl hexapeptide-12, phytosphingosine
Anti-agingPalmitoyl hexapeptide-12, Lactic acidWorks well
“The Biodegradable, single-dose capsules will leave the skin with a renewed glow, helping to reduce the appearance of fine lines and dehydration.”
This product can help reduce and prevent fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin elasticity and firmness because it contains palmitoyl hexapeptide-12.
Keep in mind that it typically takes at least 6 weeks to notice any results because the changes that are needed to improve fine lines and elasticity happen in the deeper layers of the skin. No topical anti-aging product can “erase” wrinkles or fully reverse signs of aging.

Product summary
"Elizabeth Arden - Ceramide Hyaluronic Acid Capsules Hydra-Plumping Serum" is effective for: Anti-aging and Moisturizing
Ingredient callouts
- Ceramides (phytosphingosine 0.30% - 0.75%, ceramide ns 0.60% - 1.40%, ceramide np 0.95% - 1.45% and ceramide ng 1.20% - 1.80%). Ceramides are a type of lipids that our skin produces itself. They are a building block of the skin's barrier. Ceramides used in skincare are synthetic or extracted from plants. They work well for softening the skin surface and "patch holes" in the skin's barrier.
- Peptides (palmitoyl hexapeptide-12 0.20% - 0.70%). There are many different kind of Peptides and they are naturally present in our skin. They all are a combination of aminoacids. Some of them work as natural antibiotics, promote wound-healing and production of collagen. The science is still not settled on how effective Peptides are in skincare, but it is very likely that they have a benefit. They might help restore the skin barrier and fight the signs of aging. At the very least, Peptides work as humectants: they attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve its hydration.
- Humectants (sodium hyaluronate 0.10% - 0.40%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.
