In such a saturated market, it’s easy for skincare brands to turn to gimmicky products in the hopes that it becomes viral on social media. But since its inception in the early 1900s (yes, it’s that legendary), Elizabeth Arden has always relied on its expertise: proven skincare ingredients such as ceramides and peptides delivered through sensorially-pleasing textures and formats.

And it pays off. The Ceramide Capsule collection is beloved by editors everywhere (including this one). Each capsule distributes the perfect amount of product, the capsules are easily portable for holidays, and they’re biodegradable.

The range has now expanded to include something for every skin need. My own delicate complexion is partial to the Advanced Light Ceramide Capsules, which uses phytoceramides to mirror the most abundant form of ceramide naturally found in our skin, peptides to support collagen and hemi-squalane which provides nourishment and hydration without clogging my combination to oily complexion.

Two capsules a day helps to fortify the skin barrier, leaving it less prone to redness and boosting moisture without feeling heavy. For those looking to minimise the appearance of fine lines and refine the skin texture, the Elizabeth Arden Retinol + HPR Ceramide Capsules Serum provides all the skincare benefits of retinol with hardly any unwanted side effects. If dullness is a bugbear, try the Vitamin C Ceramide Capsules to help restore luminosity.

When Is The Elizabeth Arden Black Friday Sale?

Black Friday always falls on the last Friday of November, which this year is the 29th. But Elizabeth Arden usually drops their deals a little early, so keep an eye out for offers rolling in from around November 20th onwards…

What To Bookmark For Elizabeth Arden’s Black Friday Sale

Last year’s Prime day saw deals up to 30% Elizabeth Arden skincare, so we’re keeping a close eye on similar discounts for Black Friday. To get ahead of the game, these are the products I’ll be bookmarking.

Eight Hour Cream Skin Protectant

Next to the Ceramide Capsule Collection, the Eight Hour Cream is one of the brand’s key franchises. The original Skin Protectant is deliciously balmy, and useful for ragged cuticles, dry lips and any cracked skin. It’s a winter essential. Make-up artists also use it as highlighter to bring a radiant, healthy glow to cheekbones.

Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Miracle Hydrating Mist

As the original Eight Hour Cream is a tad too occlusive the skin on my face, I find myself gravitating towards this mist on most days instead. I use it directly after cleansing to replenish lost moisture (especially in the winter), and then again before and after my make-up to keep the skin feeling extra soft and plump.

Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream Lip Protectant Stick Sheer Tint

As someone who enjoys wearing lipstick on all occasions (and sometimes, for no reason at all), this tint is an excellent off-duty alternative. It imparts a stain of colour but still feels lightweight and nourishing.

Elizabeth Arden Prevage Anti-Ageing Daily Serum

For everyday skin health maintenance, I highly rate incorporating a one-and-done serum, especially if you’re someone who prefers a streamlined routine. This powerful formula contains peptides and antioxidants to improve elasticity, minimise dark spots, refine pores and soften fine lines in one fell swoop.

Elizabeth Arden Prevage City Smart SPF50 Hydrating Shield

This SPF50 feels comfortable on all skin types, but those with combination complexions will especially love how airy-light yet hydrating this is. I find it nourishing enough to wear without moisturiser underneath. It’s also designed to protect skin that’s prone to pollution exposure. The gentle tint imparts an even glow, too.
