Elizabeth Arden Releases Ceramides For Oily Skin

Having oily skin is a bit of a trip.
If it’s not the overproduction of sebum that has me looking like a human magwinya, it’s the clogged pores that lead to acne and breakouts. This, of course, leads to me poking at my skin when I’m bored, and that, of course, increases the risk for post-acne marks. Frankly, it’s a vicious cycle and that’s something that Elizabeth Arden recognizes, which is why they’ve added to their ceramides family with the new Advanced Light Ceramide Capsules.

Ceramides Are Skincare Weapons

Ceramides are lipids found in the body whose levels decrease as we age, particularly once we hit 30. They help to maintain a healthy skin barrier, and help to maintain the skin’s hydration. So if it does all that, imagine what happens to our skin once ceramide levels begin to deplete?

Dryness. Dehydration. Weakened skin barrier. Breakouts. Rashes.

So, how do we get ceramides back into our skin?

In 1990, Elizabeth Arden answered this question by introducing Ceramide Capsules—the first of its-kind bio-engineered, skin-identical ceramides available in a single-dose capsule format.

Now, with over 30 years of leadership and over 140 awards worldwide for its capsule technology, the brand now presents ceramide capsules for the girlies, such as myself, dealing with oily and combination skin.

Oily and Combination Skin Capsules

The NEW Advanced Light Ceramide Capsules have been specially designed for oily and combination skin, due to their ultra-lightweight texture. which is great news for those struggle with oily t-zones and a glossy appearance.

So what’s in them?

Well, there are phytoceramides, which work like ceramides by nourishing the skin, alleviating dryness, and strengthening the skin barrier. Then there are cyclopeptides, which are a form of peptides that improve skin elasticity. Lastly, there’s hemisqualane, which not only controls sebum production but also improves skin hydration and moisture retention.

Thanks to its ingredients, the new capsules offer nourished skin, improved skin texture, and controlled sebum production.
