Elizabeth Arden has just unveiled a powerhouse duo in skincare innovation. On shelves now: The new Hyaluronic Acid + Peptides Ceramide Capsules Hydra-Plumping Serum (60 piece) and Hyaluronic Acid + Peptides Ceramide Hydra-Plumping Water Cream (50ml). Formulated to deliver long-lasting hydration, they visibly firm skin and restore its youthful bounce.
Our beauty editor Anna Lee sat down with Elizabeth Arden’s national education manager, Nica Marcello, to learn more about what makes each formula so extraordinary and why they deliver the best results when used together.
This is an exciting launch for Elizabeth Arden! What inspired the creation of the Hyaluronic Acid + Peptides Ceramide range?
The new collection was inspired by the desire to deliver deeper hydration, visible plumping, and firmer skin using advanced skincare technology. We were inspired to restore skin’s youthful bounce.
Let’s start with the impressive new serum. Can you share more about this formula, including its key ingredients and benefits?
- Plump & Fill: Size-shifting hyaluronic acid travels deep within skin to plump and fill from within.
- Hydrate: Providing lasting hydration for skin.
- Strengthen: Ceramides replenish and strengthen your skin’s natural barrier to lock in hydration.
Tell us more about the next-generation size-shifting hyaluronic acid. How does it work, and what difference does it make to your skin?
Size-shifting micro-hyaluronic acid is absorbed by the skin through innovative shrunken molecules that penetrate deeply into surface layers. They then expand to plump and fill skin, plumping the skin from the inside out. Their water-retaining capacity leads to a rapid and significant increase in volume, giving skin that bouncy youthful look.
Now, let’s talk about the water cream. What makes this formula so special?
It’s a refreshing, fast-absorbing water cream for 240 hours of lastingly hydrated skin with a youthful bounce. Five types of hyaluronic acid molecules at varying molecular weights penetrate deep into the skin’s surface layers to provide instant and lasting hydration, while a complex of over 16,000 naturally derived signal peptides supports natural collagen production to restore and improve firmness and elasticity.
The water cream hydrates skin for up to 240 hours! How does it feel so beautifully light while delivering that much moisture?
It is due to the five distinct weights of hyaluronic acid molecules that deliver multi-layer hydration for lasting moisture.

Why combine hyaluronic acid and peptides?
The gradual loss of hyaluronic acid, peptides, and ceramides contributes significantly to the ageing process of the skin.
This loss can manifest as: What you’re left with is thirsty, fragile, reactive skin that no longer functions as well as it used to. It’s still healthy. But it’s no longer at its best, and it shows. The combination targets these losses at the same time for optimum results.
Can the serum and water cream be used together? What’s the best way to layer them for the best results?
Absolutely! In fact, when combined, it increases to maximum benefits and clinical efficacy. After cleansing and applying your essence or toner, apply the capsule and massage onto face, neck and décolletage. Wait for a few minutes, then apply your water cream.
Users can expect to see instant results! What exactly can we expect to see and feel right away, and what can we expect over time?
- Plumper skin in just 10 minutes: Clinically proven to increase skin plumpness by 39%.
- Deep hydration: The size-shifting hyaluronic acid penetrates 4x deeper than traditional hyaluronic acid, delivering moisture where it’s needed most.
- Smoother texture and a radiant glow: Skin looks refreshed and feels silky-soft almost immediately after application.
- Over time, users will notice: Boosted natural hyaluronic acid levels by 109%, helping maintain hydration and skin volume.
- Improved firmness and facial contours: Thanks to peptides that support collagen and lipid synthesis.
- Strengthened skin barrier: Ceramides and phytoceramides reinforce the skin’s natural defences, reducing sensitivity and improving resilience.
- Youthful, revitalised appearance: Fine lines soften, elasticity improves, and skin looks healthier and more vibrant.
Elizabeth Arden’s Ceramide Capsules are legendary. How do these two new launches fit into the broader Ceramide family? Can customers pair them with other favourites from the range?
We encourage pairing and layering. Depending on the wish for your skin, skincare cycling could be the answer. For example…
Morning Routine: Cleanse with our Ceramide Cleansing Oil, apply Hyaluronic Acid + Peptides Capsule, follow with water cream, and finish with SPF.
Evening Routine: Cleanse with our Ceramide Cleansing Oil, apply Retinol Ceramide Capsule (alternate nights), and follow with Advanced Ceramide Lift & Firm Night Cream.
If you could describe the skin transformation this duo delivers in just three words?
Hydrated. Sculpted. Luminous
Your top expert tip?
To get the most out of your Hyaluronic Acid + Peptides Ceramide Capsules, apply it to damp skin. Why? Because hyaluronic acid binds to water, so applying the capsule serum right after cleansing (while your skin is still slightly damp) helps it draw in and lock in more moisture, enhancing plumpness and hydration.
