Thank you Beautyheaven and Elizabeth Arden for the opportunity to try the Elizabeth Arden Visible Brightening Spot Correcting Night Capsules.
This targeted treatment is one of Elizabeth Arden’s capsule range and I loved the convenience of the individually sealed, single use serum doses. I recently had a few days away and it was so handy to pack enough of the capsules for my little getaway without having to transport full-sized bottles of skincare. Plus, individually sealed doses means less degradation or oxidation of the active ingredients. It’s also more hygienic as each dose is separate, so no contamination from multiple use of droppers or applicators.
The capsules are easily opened, just twist the top of the capsule a few times to break open. The serum itself is quite thick, and has a silicone like texture, very similar to silicone makeup primer. I did have to experiment a bit to get the application to work for me.
The directions are to apply to freshly cleansed skin on the face, neck and décolletage areas. I found when I applied this after my usual serums (I have always layered my serums from lightest texture to heaviest), I couldn’t follow this rule this time around, as it felt like it was pilling. Maybe it was incompatible with my other skincare products. I found this worked best if I used this as a first step, letting it sink it for a few minutes, then I used my regular serums after it.
Once I figured out the best way to apply for it to work for me, I really enjoyed incorporating this into my nighttime skin care regime.
The capsules have a lovely light floral fragrance which I found very pleasing and I enjoyed the silky, luxurious smooth texture of the serum.
I have been using this as my night time serum for the last 3 weeks and my skin has felt noticeable smoother, brighter and less dull and so much softer to touch.
I really wanted this to show a marked improvement to my big age spots on the sides of my cheeks but maybe it’s a bit too soon to tell as I still have over a month left to use. However, I’m really pleased in general how lovely my skin is looking, it’s more luminous and has a healthy glow about it.
I’m super happy to continue using to see if my results improve with time.
Thank you Beautyheaven and Elizabeth Arden for the opportunity to try these for myself.
