This month we tested the new face serum Capture Totale Le Sérum, Dior.
In the famous anti-aging series Dior Capture Totale, a serum has been released with an amazing purpose: to fill the skin from the inside. “We are introducing a new term – filling (from English to fill, “to fill”),” says Edouard Mauvais-Jarvis, Director of Science Communications Dior. – As a result of using our serum, the skin is not simply mechanically stretched. On the contrary, new tissues are born in it, which fill all the imperfections from the inside. Filling products will soon compete with today’s popular lifting products.” To check whether the Capture Totale serum can “fill up” the face, Natalya Trubkina, editor-in-chief of Psychologies, decided to check.
Operating principle The active component of all Capture Totale products is a complex based on the Madagascar longoza flower. In the new serum, its concentration is increased. In addition, the serum is enriched with peppermint extract. This seemingly banal component enhances Longoza’s ability to sharpen the “hearing” of stem cells. They begin to respond more quickly to information about missing or damaged tissues, stimulating their recovery. That is why the active processes in the skin when applying the serum are launched only where it is needed. And gradually it becomes harmoniously and evenly “filled”. Natalia’s opinion: “I have never tried Capture Totale before. But I immediately agreed to the experiment: I love serums for their lightness. And here is such an exciting story about stem cells!”
Feature of application Apply to cleansed face and neck twice a day. Then use cream. Natalia’s opinion: “The serum itself is the same mother-of-pearl pink color as the bottle. Its fresh fragrance instantly transports me to spring, which I am really looking forward to. For the face, neck and décolleté, four pumps are needed. Absorbs instantly without leaving a filmy feeling. But, despite the weightlessness, before the onset of real cold weather, I did not want to use the cream after the serum. Moisturizing was enough, although my skin is dry.
Promised effect After the first application, the complexion improves. After a month, the skin becomes more full, radiant, elastic, and wrinkles are less noticeable. Natalia’s opinion: “I’m not overjoyed. After the first application, the skin is refreshed, soft and velvety. I have not noticed a pronounced fullness yet, but after all, only two weeks have passed. Although the current result suits me quite well. And in the future, I’m waiting for the promised filling.
