If there’s anything we’ve learnt from the evolution of skincare, it’s that hydration is key and non-negotiable in every routine.
Gone are the days of harsh skin-stripping cleansers and heavy face creams. Because today, beauty lovers are looking for effective, science-led formulas that work with the skin to restore a plump, healthy glow.
If you’ve been following along with the latest and greatest in the beauty world, then the powerhouse trio of ceramides, hyaluronic acid, and peptides might just ring a bell.
These innovative ingredients are reshaping everything we thought we knew about optimal skin hydration, offering a new wave of result-driven routines.
A Powerhouse Trio
We often think of hydration as just slathering on a moisturiser and calling it a day. But, to achieve your glowiest skin yet, it requires a more sophisticated process.
This is where your ceramides, hyaluronic acids, and peptides come in, with each one playing a unique role in nourishing your skin.
- Lock it in with ceramides: Often thought of as the skin barrier protectors, ceramides are key to locking in moisture and keeping out any unwanted stressors. When the skin barrier is supported with ceramides, hydration lasts longer, and skin feels stronger.
- Fill it out with hyaluronic acid: Referred to as the moisture magnet of the skincare world, hyaluronic acid can attract and hold 1,000 times its water weight. Depending on the specific formulation, the molecules in hyaluronic acid are designed to sit at different levels of the skin. Some are created to sit on the skin’s surface, providing an almost instant boost of hydration. While others are made to dive deeper into the skin’s layers to replenish the hydration where it is needed most. The result? Skin that feels full, bouncy, and most importantly, fresh!
- Firm it up with peptides: Made up of short chain amino acids, peptides help support the skin’s natural collagen production. This can range from helping with skin firmness, overall elasticity, and achieving that youthful-looking glow.
When working together, this powerhouse trio can almost act like a natural filler for the skin. Hyaluronic acid plumps, ceramides lock it in, and peptides help to firm and sculpt.
Skin Science Meets Innovation
Known for their science-led approach to beauty, it’s no surprise that Elizabeth Arden is utilising this innovative trifecta in their latest formulations.
Featuring a new cutting-edge formula, the Hyaluronic Acid + Peptides Hydra-Plumping Ceramide Capsules combine size-shifting hyaluronic acid (HA) with collagen-supporting peptides. This will deliver a precise dose of hydration wrapped up in a biodegradable capsule.
The formula uses micro-HA that are 500 times smaller than traditional hyaluronic acid to deeply penetrate the skin’s surface layers. Once absorbed, they expand to fill and plump the skin, delivering a firmer, more hydrated skin.
Hyaluronic Acid + Peptides Hydra-Plumping Ceramide Water Cream was designed to help firm and restore, delivering a potent dose of hydration. At the heart of this advanced formula is 5D Hyaluronic Acid technology. This uses different types of Hyaluronic Acid to penetrate multiple surface layers of skin for both instant and lasting hydration.
Plus, the gel-cream texture is lightweight on the skin!
Designed to be used in conjunction, each product will fit seamlessly into your routine, whether that be before your SPF in the morning or as the final step in the evening.
Together, they create a streamlined yet powerful ritual for skin that looks plump, firm, and radiant.
