Since opening the doors to her first Red Door Salon in 1910, Elizabeth Arden has taken the beauty industry by storm, transforming the way women approach skin care. The secret behind her success? Arden understood that skin care shouldn’t be purely cosmetic. Instead, a beauty regimen should be based on skin-boosting ingredients that transform the health and look of skin from the inside out.

Which line is right for you?

Elizabeth Arden offers a range of product lines that are tailored to meet the unique needs of different skin types. Review them below to decide which regimen is right for you.

Elizabeth Arden Ceramide

• Best for: Dry and aging skin.

• Features: The key ingredient in Elizabeth Arden’s Ceramide line is ceramides – a unique lipid that creates the protective barrier that brings strength and structure to skin. Although the skin has a natural store of ceramides, levels naturally decrease with age and environmental exposure leading to uneven texture, dehydration and wrinkles. The Elizabeth Arden Ceramide line infuses these essential lipids back into skin to restore this lipid barrier for a stronger, more resilient complexion that looks and feels younger and healthier.

• Build your routine: The Elizabeth Arden Ceramide line includes a range of formulas that allow you to build a basic routine.

• Cleanse: Start with Elizabeth Arden Ceramide Purifying Cream Cleanser. This ceramide-based cream cleanser clears pores of excess oil, dirt and other impurities to allow lipid ingredients to penetrate skin and restore its moisture barrier.

This lightweight lotion delivers advanced alpha hydroxy acids to provide gentle exfoliation for brighter skin, while a unique complex of glycerin, ceramides and sodium lactate infuses pores with lasting hydration.
