Elizabeth Arden Advanced Ceramide lifting and firming face cream SPF 15 is designed for daily care of dry skin with loss of firmness, fine lines and wrinkles. It provides all-day hydration, supports a more toned appearance and offers broad-spectrum SPF 15 protection. The ultra-light gel texture absorbs quickly.

Key benefits

According to the manufacturer, all-day hydration helps restore a more sculpted and youthful-looking appearance to the skin. Ceramides support the strength of the skin barrier and help reduce moisture loss, while tetrapeptides visibly smooth fine lines and wrinkles and support skin firmness.

In an independent consumer study of day and night cream involving 58 women, visibly lifted, firmer and more defined facial contours were observed after one week. In a further study of 57 women after eight weeks, 95% of participants reported a more lifted-looking complexion and 90% reported a firmer and more toned appearance.

The cream thus combines hydration for dry skin, care for its firmness and the appearance of wrinkles with everyday SPF 15 protection.

Ingredients

• 3D FIT technology combines ceramides, tetrapeptides and edelweiss extract.
• The reformulated version contains five times the amount of ceramides compared to previous Lift and Firm creams.
• Three types of ceramides are represented by Ceramide AP, Ceramide EOP and Ceramide NP.
