Like many Hollywood actresses, Reese Witherspoon has incredible skin and looks not a day over 28 – despite being almost 50 – and it seems one of her favourite brands, for whom she is ‘storyteller-in-chief’, is currently on sale on Amazon for 44% less than it usually retails: Elizabeth Arden. In particular, the Elizabeth Arden Advanced Ceramide Capsules – which are reduced from £89 to £49.47 for 90 capsules, beating prices at the likes of Lookfantastic and Boots.
These ‘magic’ capsules – which are the sister product to Reese’s go-to Retinol Ceramide Capsules, reports Harpers Bazaar – claim to work wonders to minimise the appearance of lines and wrinkles and boost the skin’s natural collagen for a firmer, more youthful appearance.
Formulated with enhaned ceramide lipid complex (which combines ceramides 1, 3 and 6), botanical complex technology – using a blend of alfalfa extract, lipids from olives and coconut oil – and tsubaki oil, the serum also hydrates the skin to leave it smooth and soft. Not to mention leave it radiant and brighter.

The container has 90 capsules inside, which are single dose and biodegradable, meaning you will be able to apply the perfect concentrated amount without wasting the formula – or feeling guilty about the packaging.
As explained by Elizabeth Arden, the reason we may be needing skincare that’s packed with ceramides is because: “As you age, ceramides (the mortar) aren’t produced at the same rate, resulting in a noticeable decline in ceramides by your 30s, and an even more dramatic decline by your 40’s. Your skin begins to weaken and form wrinkles, dryness, uneven skin tone and loss of firmness.” With daily use of these capsules, however, you can replenish and restore these key elements to keep your skin fresh and glowing.
And it seems to work as it’s garnered thousands of reviews across Amazon, Elizabeth Arden, Lookfantastic and Boots that hail it as a ‘minor miracle’ worker, with one shopper explaining: “I love these capsules and use them once a week as a treatment treat – they really leave your skin soft and glowing – sort of medicine for aged skin.”
Another remarked: “I bought these 3 months ago, I am nearly 70 but people think I am in my 50s . My skin has improved 100%. Great product.”
A third declared: “Wow, my skin changed immediately. It smooths over so easily. It looks like an oil but it isn’t and it isn’t oily, it soaks right in. My mother used to use these and I remember these little capsules looked so expensive and magical, well they are both but worth every penny. I’m 45 my skin looks radiant smooth and fine lines are finer!”
Although a vast number of beauty buffs found the serum non-greasy, it wasn’t the case for a select few who said: “It is very oily and sits on top of the skin. All the people who have oily skin like myself stay away from this product.”
Others who tried it preferred the likes of Elemis Bliss Capsules, £78. Alternatively, for a cheaper option, No7s Advanced Ingredients Ceramide & Peptides Facial Capsules are £9.97 for a 30 pack and have been proven to help skin feel firmer and reduce the appearance of wrinkles. Get them here.
