IN PARTNERSHIP WITH ELIZABETH ARDEN
Discover an award-winning new-generation retinol routine which delivers proven results …
We are taking a fresh approach to our skincare, spring-cleaning our shelves and turning to proven ingredients that deliver results. And when the goal is brighter, more hydrated skin and a revitalised complexion, the answer could well be retinol. Retinol can be easy, comfortable and uncomplicated – with visible results. Many skincare ingredients have their moment in the spotlight but retinol, a form of vitamin A, endures as the gold standard. Dermatologists and skin experts consider retinol to be a vital part of a proactive skincare routine, as it works to support collagen production, helping to reduce lines and wrinkles, and boost cell turnover. Just what we want in a pro-ageing routine that makes a visible difference.
You might feel wary of introducing retinol into your routine, in case it causes irritation or dryness. But not all retinols are created equal. Elizabeth Arden, the trusted brand with 115 years of skincare expertise behind it, has developed a next-generation retinol skincare routine, Retinol + HPR suitable for even sensitive skin types.
Elizabeth Arden Retinol + HPR Ceramide Capsules Serum, and Water Cream is a powerhouse duo which brings together retinol and HPR along with an all- star cast of other excellent skincare ingredients, including moisture-boosting ceramides to support and strengthen the skin barrier, skin-firming peptides, hydrating hyaluronic acid, and botanicals to soothe the skin.
The routine has proven results – visibly smoother, retexturised and revitalised skin – while being gentle enough to use both in the morning and at night (unlike most other retinol products). Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate (HPR), a next-generation retinoid, is the game-changer. HPR is ten times more potent than pure retinol.
Step 1: Elizabeth Arden Retinol + HPR Ceramide Capsules Serum, from €56, is designed to visibly reduce dryness, dark spots and the appearance of pores, as well as improve skin’s firmness, clarity, texture and tone. And it is proven to visibly reduce wrinkles in one week.* It’s easy to use, too, whether you’re experienced in using retinol or you’re new to it: each capsule contains the optimum precise single dose of retinol + HPR in an airtight capsule. And it’s gentle enough to use both day and night; just remember, as with all retinols, to use SPF during the daytime.
After one week the serum visibly reduces lines and wrinkles, while in a consumer study, 100 per cent of testers found the serum made skin look more radiant.* After four weeks, 100 per cent of testers agreed skin texture and clarity was improved, with 97 per cent finding that pores looked minimised, too. *Consumer study of 57 participants.
Step 2: Elizabeth Arden Retinol + HPR Water Cream Moisturiser, €95. This light as air moisturiser in an airtight pump is packed with hydrating ingredients to support and strengthen the skin barrier. Of those trying the moisturiser for two weeks, 100 per cent of testers agreed it feels comfortable on the skin – even first-time retinol users.** Testers saw visible improvements in their skin after one week, with clearer and firmer skin, improved tone and texture, and softened lines.** And 100 per cent of testers saw improvements in texture and tone after four weeks as well as a reduction in wrinkles. **Consumer study of 74 participants.
NEED TO KNOW Since they launched, both the Retinol + HPR Ceramide Capsules Serum and the Retinol + HPR Water Cream have won more than 15 beauty awards from international editors. This Mother’s Day, treat yourself, or someone you love, to a new routine that delivers results.
