In 1990, Elizabeth Arden created the first single dose skincare capsules to deliver bio-engineered, skin-identical Ceramides to the skin. Ceramide 1 helps strengthen skin's appearance. Ceramide 6 helps exfoliate and retexturize. Ceramide 3 helps the skin hold essential moisture. Combining our patented Ceramide technology with the latest anti-aging advances, this skincare line continues to break new ground, delivering luxurious formulas and advanced technology. Here, our resident expert Tony Vargas, Vice President Research & Development, answers the most common questions our customers have about the science, the ingredients and the visible results of Ceramide Skincare.

Q: Why Ceramides?

A: Plumping literally starts at skin’s moisture barrier. Because the barrier is under daily assault, it is the skin’s first line of defense against aging signs and the environment. Maintaining your skin’s barrier is the primary mission of the Ceramide Skincare line. Ceramides 1, 3 and 6 are all vital components of our skin. Ceramide 1 helps strengthen skin’s appearance, Ceramide 3 works to hold moisture in the skin and Ceramide 6 helps exfoliate and retexturize.

Q: How does it enhance Ceramide Plump Perfect benefits?

A: Exfoliated skin is better able to absorb moisture and treatment. Ceramide Plump Perfect Gentle Line Smoothing Exfoliator primes skin to receive intensive moisture and is the perfect complement to Ceramide Plump Perfect Ultra Lift and Firm Moisture Cream SPF 30. It contains the same blend of advanced ingredients to create a feeling of luxury and synergy within the Ceramide Plump Perfect family.

Q: Why is exfoliating important for anti-aging skincare?

A: As skin ages, it is less able to shed off dead surface cells evenly; they tend to slough off in clumps, causing patchy dry spots and rough texture. Ceramide Plump Perfect Gentle Line Smoothing Exfoliator was formulated to address these special exfoliating needs. It is cushioned with luxurious ingredients and contains very fine exfoliating beads to gently and evenly remove surface flakes as it polishes and gently retexturizes skin.

Q: What are the signs of aging in the eye area?

A: The skin around eyes is much thinner and dryer than on other parts of the body. It lacks some of the structural support because it has less collagen and elastin. Not surprisingly it is the first place that age related signs  appear: the formation of lines and wrinkles known as crow’s feet, dryness, and a loss of elasticity on the upper and lower eyelids causing sagging and dark circles.
