This year Elizabeth Arden's Ceramide Gold Ultra Restorative Capsules has come of age and is celebrating its 21st Birthday; as is the brand's revolutionary discovery of Ceramides (essential lipids found in the surface layer of the skin that help maintain the integrity of the barrier layer).

Since its launch in 1990 the product has become a cult beauty classic selling over 550 million worldwide. With Ceramides, fatty acids, vitamin E (to protect from the environment) and two types of retinyl (to enhance collagen production), skin is kept plump, hydrated and happy. These dinky capsules are great for daily use and especially good for in-flight hydration.

As a birthday present to loyal followers and prospective new fans, Elizabeth Arden is offering a complimentary consultation, 7 day trial of the capsules and then, to top it all off, a £10 discount voucher to redeem against the full price product, £56 (£46 with the voucher) for 60 capsules; refills cost £42 for 45 capsules.

The offer is available at every Elizabeth Arden counter nationwide in August and September. I wonder whether there will be a slice of birthday cake on offer too...
