Elizabeth Arden Ceramide Capsules

Have any off you tried the EA Ceramide Capusles (for eyes or face and throat)?

I need to try something different and thought they sound pretty good, if they do what they say.

Thanks and look forward to comments.
Mary

I have been using these since products since I was in my mid 20s and would highly recommend them and 13 years on I think they have made a difference when I look at other "girls" around the same age. I don't use the eye ones much these days as I have found a Chanel product I like but the ceramide moisturiser and face and throat capsules are excellent and I still use them now. They are quite expensive though.

Thanks for the feedback. Actually RRP is £43 for 60 so I'm sure I could get them cheaper than that. So if they really do work it is good value for money.

I know you are talking about ceramide products which are different, but several years ago I had some capsules containing retinol. It was a disaster, the skin around my eyes became thin, wrinkled and creapy in about 3 days, but to a really alarming degree, I aged overnight! Quite the reverse to what I intended - it was like ' The Portrait of Dorien Grey' ( if you ever saw the film). Chloe

OMG, hope that isn't the case with these capsules, as the reason I want to try something new is to improve the skin around my eyes. I look as though I have aged 10 yrs in a very short time and want to look better.

Think I may still give Elizabeth Arden the benefit of the doubt and see how it goes.

Mary,
I've never heard of these capsules, I take it they are to help with wrinkles around the eye area. Where do you buy them from?

As Chloe says the product she is talking about is something totally different so don't worry about it Mary the EA ceramide is an excellent product. Go into Debenhams or the likes and ask for a trial size jar to try, they normally have about 3 of the face and 3 of the eye capsules and it will give you an ide of what they are like.

Thanks CDV, will do that.

Don't they sell these in Duty Free at the airport or on planes? I'm sure I've seen them advertised in those glossy in flight duty free magazines.

have a look on ebay[msnwink]
Hope this is ok to post

Excuse my ignorance, but do you swallow them or put them on your face? And what do they do?

Can you tell I'm not good at this malarkey, if I remember to brush my hair before I go out I'm doing well [msnscared]

LOL - Best laugh I've had all day - Rosie PLEASE DON'T swallow them!

Told you I was good at this LOL.

When the title said capsules I associated that with pills, then got confused when I read the thread.

What are they for?

To make us girlies look like we're 20 again, course looking in the mirror without wearing your specs has much the same effect[msnwink] - Yet still I spend a fortune every month on lotions and potions to try and stem the ageing process - I'm starting to feel like King Canute.....

Yes they do sell them in the duty free and sometimes on the airlines to in smaler sizes.

EBay is not too bad either but ask the seller if the products are sealed before you bid. I bought an EA ceramide moisturiser a couple of years ago and when I opened it it had an eyelash in it and had obviously been used even though it was advertised as new.......yuck! I did get a refund eventually!

....................and never be able to frown again[laugh][laugh][laugh]

Rosie they are called capsules to give the impression of science mixed with beauty know-how - and ensure we spend a fortune on them!

This is no criticism of this particular product, I ran the promotions dept doing the promo offers (buy 2 items get the following goodies) of one of the (then) big names BC (before children!) Now I am the age I need the heavyweight product of course I have to pay the heavyweight prices instead of getting it free.

Sorry haven't replied for a few days. Found a website that will have EA capsules on sale in next few days. Once they put it up there will let you know how much it is.

Haven't managed to get out to try a free sample yet, but will let you know how I get on.

Hello girls - a 'newbie' here - I haven't tried EA capsules, but I can recommend Avon's Anew range for skin over forty!The new dual eye creme really works....my over forty eyes look much younger...and that's other peoples opinions not my misguded hope!

I can also recommend Avon's Anew Clinical Eyelift. However, it is not for the over 40's - that is the Anew Ultimate range. [msnwink]
Good product and only £15. [msnsmile2] There's also another one 'for all ages' that is the alternative to botox. Not tried that one .... yet!!

I have always found Avon products to be too perfumy, if thats makes sense! And it can end up making me feel headachy.
Are these products non perfumy?!!!!![msnscared]

Well, I too, can't cope with over perfumy products - and the Anew range seems to be ok for me....I've also tried the Avon alternative to Botox and it's brilliant....the teeny tiny wrinkles that were beginning to appear have been 'magiced' away!

Thanks Fiona.

I think I'll stick to growing old disgracefully. I don't think any amount of money spent on potions and pills would make any difference to how I feel inside (20), so the outside (45) is kind of irrelevant to me :D:D:D

I must admit I am not a fan of Avon products either. I think it was beacuse my friend was a rep years ago and I felt obliged to buy[8)][msntongue]

Hi folks. Just to bring this one up to date for you and to thank you all for your advice on these magical little capsules..

I found the EA Ceramide Capsules for face and neck on the web at travelbagsize.com. They have been absolutely great(and on special offer just now).
Have had loads of comments on how good my skin looks etc so very pleased. Then I decided to try the Eye Capsules (from the same site)as well and they have worked like a little miracle.

The face & throat ones work out at less than 40p per day - to look !!!! years younger - cant be bad. (the eyes are 49p a day). I even put a review on there as I am so pleased with them.

Mary

Just noticed my avatar has gone - anyone seen a cocktail glass hanging around ?
Mary

Like the sound of these capsules -must have a go!
as for the avatar mine went a couple of weeks ago and never came back so got a new one. According to my son they move the location of them so its best to download and save them.
Joyce

Thanks Joyce. I will have to have a look for a new one. I love the penguin ones and yours is sooo funny. I watched it for ages.[laugh][laugh]

The capsules are about the only thing in years that have actually made a difference for me.
Mary

oops and I just changed it after posting my last message!!!
Want the link for the penquin? can DM you.
Joyce

and back again! latest one didn't work.
:D
Joyce

Thank you would love the info. Although I will miss my lovely 'sundowner' glass. Might have to look for another cocktail.
Mary

Mary glad to hear you are enjoying the potions. It has just reminded me that I need another EA cermamide moisturiser next time I am at the airport:D

What's this CDV! another EA magic formula ?? Should I be using it with the Ceramide Capsules ? Are they much cheaper at the airport than in the usual shops?

Oh! whilst on the subject of potions it reminded me about YSL Touche Eclat that we were talking about around the same time. I have bought a YSL Superb Eyes set from the same site (£29.95)and that includes a full size Touche Eclat - Skin done, eyes done, now all I need is a size 10 body (think that needs a little more than magic, more like a miracle).

Mary

Oh it's a must Mary, it's lovely smooth rich moisturiser but it's around the £50 mark, a bit cheaper though at the airport.

I have found them on directcosmetics.com for £19.99 (Advanced Time Complex 60 Face& Throat Capsules) I presume postage and packing will be extra. The Eye Capsules are listed as £15.99. Is this a good price?

are these creams not cheaper in the shops in the US than either in the airport or online? I priced some Estee Lauder when there last time and it was about the same in $ as pounds.
Shame the Jo Malone is no cheaper over there though!
Have you discovered Jo Malone perfumes?

Geoff,

Didn't realise you used such potions:D

Alan

That does sound cheap (£5 less than I paid), will have to look at the site see how much postage etc is, but it does sound like a good deal.

The only site I will not buy creams and make-up from on line is ebay, but we have discussed that one before.

Will keep trying the potions anyway and shopping around for best deals.
