Review: Elizabeth Arden Intervene Skin Tone Perfecting Capsules

This is my first blog post, and I am going to kick off with something i feel very passionate about, its something i am always chopping and changing in order to find the 'perfect' partner in, Skincare. I firmly believe that the key to achieving a good complexion is to make your skincare your number one priority, I am always on the lookout for new products to try and test on my skin, which lately seems to be on a roller-coaster of hormones (a lot to do with the fact I am pregnant). So, I was usually a Combination T-zone, dehydrated cheeks, spots at the usual time of month kind of girl. Daily use of serum, moisturiser and eye cream to keep me balanced, and I was happy out. 

THEN i became pregnant, and my skin became someone i know longer knew, drastic changes had to be made as i now had a mild case of acne. The spots were especially bad around my chin, jawline and forehead, and were now leaving little red markings of inflammation under my skin, which i could not get rid of no matter what I tried. So one day while talking to a friend she recommended I try Elizabeth Arden Intervene Skin Tone Perfecting Capsules. Now i have never used much Elizabeth Arden Cosmetics, apart from the Flawless Finish Compact Foundation, which i think we all tried at some stage as a teenager.

So here's how Elizabeth Arden describe this product.

Each Vitamin C packed, preservative free nighttime capsule works way past your bedtime, targeting signs of stress and sun damage while you catch up on your beauty sleep. Age spots, discoloration, even the dark traces left by acne scars seem to do a fast fade. By morning a luminous, more even-toned, energized, retexturized look and feel get your skin glowing strong.
INTERVENE Skin Tone Perfecting Capsules help achieve radiant-looking skin while you catch up on your beauty sleep:

- Vitamin C packed preservative-free capsules work all night long.

- Help reverse the visible effects of stress and sun damage.

- Oil-free. Suitable for all skin types

Ok so, sounds amazing right, I should be waking up and saying WOW my skin looks brand new. They recommend using one capsule three nights a week, as it is essentially a treatment for your skin. I decided i had to give it a go, i had become tired of searching for a solution. I was a bit bold and used it 4 nights in a row the first week. On inspection after the first night of using it, i didn't actually see any difference in brightness and radiance like they said i would, but I could feel a drastic change in my skin, my skin felt so soft and any dehydration patches appeared to be gone. 

So I continued using it 3 nights a week, and it lasted me about 13 weeks (there's about 38 capsules per jar). By the time i had finished using it I could really see a difference in my skin. The inflammation under my skin was drastically reduced, I had to look very closely in the mirror to still see it. The texture in my skin was so soft and felt so enriched from all the vitamin C. The one thing i was really impressed with though, was the overall change in my skin tone, it was a lot brighter and my complexion was very clear. This had a massive effect on helping get my skin back to normal, and it had done what i originally bought it for, which was to reduce the inflammation left under my skin by the acne spots. I would definitely recommend this product to anyone who is searching for a treatment that will give their skin real and visible benefits of radiance enhancement and noticeable reduction in discolouration of the skin!!!

I'm happy to say that this product has become a staple in my skincare box, and something that will remain there for years to come. This product is sold at Elizabeth Arden counters worldwide and retails at about €45, which I think is very reasonable for a treatment that lasts 13 weeks.....
