Since 1990, cosmetics brand Elizabeth Arden has been using ceramide capsules in its skin renewal products, which at the time was considered a groundbreaking approach to anti-ageing. Now, the skincare giant has introduced the next generation of ceramide capsules through its newest product: the Advanced Ceramide Capsules Daily Youth Restoring Serum.

Unveiled recently at The Mira Hong Kong in Tsim Sha Tsui, the serum is contained within individual, single-dose capsules. So what exactly is a ceramide? It’s essentially a waxy, oily lipid that’s found naturally in the skin, but the production of these skin-repairing agents decreases with age. Those who attended the product launch had the chance to sample the serum, as well as some of Elizabeth Arden’s makeup products.
