One Adore Beauyt customer says:
I have been using Elizabeth Arden ceramide capsules for years. My girlfriends had all started using this as well after they started seeing my skin get smoother and vibrant using this ceramide oil. I do use the whole capsule in the morning. One capsule is good for my face, neck, decolletage and both hands. I felt skin health should really include those areas. At night I do use Elizabeth Arden retinol three times a week. My skin looks good with this routine. I highly recommend this serum for any age especially starting of peri menopause because the skin gets drier and this serum is great for that.
