Powerful anti-ageing results in as little as seven days? DIOR’s new products are put to the test

Every year, new serums and moisturisers emerge with bold claims around age-defying action. The difference is, when the new formulas happen to be released by DIOR you know they've been created using 40 years of skin science research. Which is why I’m not entirely surprised by the iconic brand’s claims that, as a result of using its new Le Sérum and Day Cream, your skin will be four times firmer and two times smoother in just seven days.

A week isn’t long to test and see results, but I’m happy to put myself forward to try. Designed for all skin types, tones, ages and genders, here’s how my 32-year-old face took to the anti-ageing skincare.

What is DIOR Capture [OX-C Treatment] Le Sérum and Day Cream?

This new, expert anti-ageing duo helps with the visible effects of collagen loss, reducing the appearance of wrinkles and promoting skin firmness. This is through a breakthrough science innovation inspired by regenerative medicine.

What is DIOR’s OX-C Treatment?

It's a high-performance, age-defying concentrate, which helps to faciliate better cell respiration in order to boost the ability to produce collagen. In short, it lends skin a tightening and overall younger-looking appearance.

Le Sérum

Formulated with 97% natural-origin ingredients, the serum gives the skin an instant tensing appearance when it's applied. Dior’s exo-liposomes propel ingredients deep into the skin so that day after day, wrinkles are smoothed and skin appears firmer and younger-looking.

The Day Cream

Upon application, the Day Cream gives skin an immediate plumping effect. As well as strengthening the skin barrier for six hours, it offers 24 hours' hydration – endowing a youthful glow, daily. 

More satisfying still, the Day Cream is now refillable, and the weight of the glass has been reduced by 37%** as part of an ongoing improvement initiative.

** Reduction compared to the 2020 50ml version of Capture Totale La Crème.

Iconic ambassadors for new-era products

With Charlize Theron as the new DIOR Capture ambassador, there is no denying that DIOR has truly secured icon status for these new skincare heroes. What's more, Hollywood English actress Rosamund Pike is also a proud ambassador, and in my opinion, another perfect fit to represent the skincare products. She says, "My skin feels firmer, smoother, more glowing, like it's had a beautiful drink." Well said, Rosamund.

When should you apply DIOR Capture Le Sérum and Day Cream?

The ultimate morning routine: apply two small pumps of DIOR Capture Le Sérum, working from the centre of the face outwards. Follow with a hazelnut-sized amount of DIOR Capture Day Cream to nourish the skin.

What results will you see from using the Capture Le Sérum and Day Cream?

I can confirm my skin feels nourished, plumped and hydrated; it's quite remarkable that it's so much smoother and firmer in just seven days.

The verdict: is DIOR’s Capture Le Sérum and Day Cream worth it?

These high-performance products are truly innovating. I'm not sure how it is possible to exude elegance in a skincare bottle, but DIOR manages it. 

Pricey? Yes, but not because of the DIOR label; rather, it's down to the four decades of research that have gone into these superior products. If you are looking for super-charged anti-ageing skincare that gives the appearance of tightened skin, then DIOR Capture awaits.
