I Try a Lot of Skincare Products, But This Serum Packaging Is Next-Level Cool

Whenever the seasons shift, my skin tends to freak out. Between summer travel (airplanes dry my skin out like no other), too many late nights, and forgetting to drink enough water, I've been dealing with skin that feels tight, looks tired, and is basically begging for a reset. No amount of makeup can fake that plump, well-rested glow when your skin is cranky, so I've been on the hunt for skincare products that hydrate on a deeper, more restorative level.

Enter Elizabeth Arden. The brand's newest launch, the Hyaluronic Acid + Peptides Ceramide Capsules Hydra-Plumpking Serum ($99), was the first product that grabbed my attention—not just because I want the chic capsule packaging to sit on my vanity as décor, but because this serum is a clever solution to my current skin rut. Each capsule contains a mini shot of hydration, leaving my skin plumper and smoother almost instantly. And while the serum caught my eye, it's in good company—Elizabeth Arden has various collections of formulas that not only restore hydration and radiance but also tackle concerns such as anti-aging, lifting, and firming. Keep scrolling to shop the skincare products I'm adding to my fall routine.

Capsules

These serum capsules are the most innovative skincare products I've seen in a while. The capsules are not only chic but also super practical. They keep the formula potent, pure, and precise until the second you open them. Each pod is perfectly pre-measured, which means you won't waste half a bottle of serum because you went overboard (guilty). Plus, they're travel-friendly and easy to toss in a bag, making them the ultimate on-the-go skincare essential.

Face Creams

When my skin is feeling dull, I love nothing more than a rich, luxe cream that brings life back to my face. Elizabeth Arden's lineup does exactly that, with each formula targeting something different: hydration and plumping, skin renewal, radiance and bounce, and anti-aging. And each cream is designed to pair perfectly with the capsule serums above, creating a full routine that feels incredibly effective.

Eye Care

Eye cream is a step I'll never skip—it's the secret to looking more awake and making sure my concealer goes on smoothly and doesn't crease halfway through the day. I also included a lash and brow serum, which I love to swipe on whenever my lashes aren't giving me the length or fullness I want.

More Skin Essentials

I'm a huge skincare fan and can never resist trying new formulas, so of course, I had to include a few extra products from Elizabeth Arden that caught my eye. These are the glow-boosters my skin absolutely needs right now to make it look brighter, healthier, and ready to take on the new season.
