Key Benefits of Elizabeth Arden Ceramide Premiere Overnight Regeneration Cream

 
These are the key benefits you can expect from using Elizabeth Arden Ceramide Premiere Overnight Regeneration Cream:
 

🔵🔵🔵 Rich Moisturizer Perfect for Dry Skin

According to CreamScan analysis, Elizabeth Arden Ceramide Premiere Overnight Regeneration Cream is intensely moisturizing, with a moisturizing rating of 8.8 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? This product has relatively comparable levels of humectancy and occlusivity: a very high humectancy of 8.2 out of 10, primarily due to the substantial concentration of Glycerin (est. ≈6.0%), and a very high occlusivity of 9.3 out of 10, mainly due to the significant content of Dimethicone (est. ≈9.0%) and Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride (est. ≈4.0%).

This type of moisturizer is ideal for people with dry skin who want intense hydration. It combines a high concentration of humectants and occlusive ingredients to provide effective dual-action moisturizing specifically for dry skin.

The occlusive profile of Elizabeth Arden Ceramide Premiere Overnight Regeneration Cream suggests a rich, thick texture, making it perfectly suited for dry skin.

Things to Be Aware Of: Elizabeth Arden Ceramide Premiere Overnight Regeneration Cream

 
CreamScan identified a few things to consider before adding Elizabeth Arden Ceramide Premiere Overnight Regeneration Cream to your skincare routine:
 

⚠️ Best for Dry Skin - May Be Too Thick for Other Skin Types

With high occlusivity, this product is optimal for dry skin but may be too thick for combination and especially oily skin. Even on normal skin, it can feel too rich depending on the quantity applied, the environment, and individual preferences.

If you have oily, combination, or normal skin and are considering purchasing this product for the first time, it might be a good idea to try a sample before buying.

⚠️ Questionable anti-wrinkle efficacy

If one of your main reasons for choosing Elizabeth Arden Ceramide Premiere Overnight Regeneration Cream is its potential anti-aging effects, please note that, according to CreamScan analysis, it currently has a zero anti-wrinkle rating.

It contains Retinyl Linoleate, an ingredient often marketed as effective in reducing wrinkles. However, the studies supporting the anti-wrinkle claims of Retinyl Linoleate provide insufficient evidence of its efficacy according to CreamScan Research Evaluation Standards.

While this does not categorically rule out the possibility that Retinyl Linoleate may reduce wrinkles, its efficacy is not supported by convincing, vehicle-controlled, double-blind clinical studies - at least none that were available to the CreamScan team at the time of publication.

Therefore, this ingredient does not generate the anti-wrinkle rating.

📌 Moisturizers, when used regularly, are proven to prevent wrinkle formation and even reduce existing wrinkles. Therefore, this product, like any other moisturizer, can deliver some anti-wrinkle effects through its moisturizing action.

Please refer to the Ratings section below for details of the anti-wrinkle rating calculation.
