Just for you: A customised sample kit
Hands up if you’ve ever seen an actress on television and wondered what she does to get her complexion so supple, glowing and youthful? That’s how we feel whenever we see actress Rebecca Lim on screen. And having met Rebecca in person, we know that skin envy is real.
Here comes the good news: You can achieve the same Rebecca glow with this five-step skincare routine.
Your Glow-Up Skincare Regimen with Dior Capture Totale C.E.L.L. Energy
Boost your skin’s regenerative powers with the age-defying Dior Capture Totale C.E.L.L. Energy skincare routine. Quick tip: Before you apply the products, prep your skin by pinching it very lightly. This energises, plumps and smooths the skin, allowing the Capture Totale products you apply after, to penetrate more easily.
Step 1: Cleanse with Capture Totale High Performance Gentle Cleanser
The first step of your Capture Totale skincare routine starts with getting skin clean. This gentle gel cleanser emulsifies into a creamy foam on contact with water, and effectively removes all traces of makeup, dirt and even pollution impurities. Most importantly, it doesn’t dry out skin, or leave it feeling tight or irritated.
Step 2: Prep with Capture Totale C.E.L.L. Energy High-Performance Treatment Serum Lotion
Refresh the skin with this toner-essence. Enriched with vitamins, amino acids and lecithin (a plant emollient), it provides skin with the first, essential layer hydration after cleansing. This boost of moisture keeps skin hydrated, soothed and conditioned, while helping to restore its balance daily. In seven days, skin appears smooth, supple and plumped.
You can also use the Capture Totale Lotion for a quick hydration boost. Soak a cotton pad with it and place it on the drier areas of the face for a few minutes. It also helps to soothe redness.
Step 3: Treat with Capture Totale C.E.L.L. Energy Super Potent Serum
The star of the C.E.L.L. Energy range, and one of Rebecca’s skincare essentials, the key ingredient of this anti-ageing serum is the potent longoza extract from Madagascar. It also has an exclusive next-generation low molecular-weight hyaluronic acid, to address fine lines, wrinkles and loss of elasticity. The formula’s regenerative prowess results in a smoother, firmer and more youthful-looking complexion over time.
To get a natural-looking glow, mix one pump of Capture Totale Serum into your liquid foundation to transform it into a serum foundation and boost the skincare benefits of your base makeup.
Step 4: Hydrate with Capture Totale C.E.L.L. Energy Firming & Wrinkle-Correcting Creme
Do as Rebecca does and apply Capture Totale moisturiser right after. The creme comes in two finishes – Universal Creme and Rich Creme. The former is Rebecca’s preferred texture, and those with drier skin can opt for the Rich Creme.
Whichever variant you use, the formula boosts skin suppleness and strengthens its barrier for a healthy, hydrated and radiant complexion.
The Universal Creme has a fresh texture that melts into skin, thanks to an advanced micro-fragmentation technology that “breaks” the texture into micro droplets upon application, to enhance absorption. Its formula also contains a bio-fermented ceramide and natural vegetable oils rich in Omega 3, 6 and 9 fatty acids, to keep skin soft and plump.
The Rich Creme is ideal for parched skin as it instantly hydrates and nourishes with its blend of glycerine, wax, plant butters and peony blossom oil extract. Addressing skin dryness is vital as Dior Research discovered that it can lead to a decline in skin’s ability to repair and regenerate, resulting in premature signs of ageing.
Step 5: Extra Care with Capture Totale C.E.L.L. Energy Firming & Wrinkle-Correcting Eye Cream
Get bright-eyed with this luscious age-defying eye cream. Its air-whipped texture is light, and instantly absorbs into skin without feeling heavy, which is perfect for the delicate eye area. It is also enriched with plant phytosterols, mango butter and a bio-fermented gum to reduce the signs of ageing and fatigue, such as fine lines, crow’s feet, dark circles, puffiness and loss of firmness.
Skincare tip: you can also use the Eye Cream as a lip treatment under lipstick, to re-plump your lips, as well as to smoothen the nasolabial lines (the smile creases from your nose to your mouth).
Try it for Yourself
Don’t want to commit to the full-sized products just yet? Opt for the Capture Totale Discovery Set, which consists of travel sizes of the High-Performance Treatment Serum Lotion, Super Potent Serum, Firming & Wrinkle-Correcting Creme, and Firming & Wrinkle-Correcting Eye Cream. The kit costs $117.

3 Things You Should Know About Dior Capture Totale
#1 It’s the result of more than 30 years of research
Our skin’s stem cells are crucial in keeping our complexion healthy and youthful. Dior scientists found that while the number of skin cells we have does not change with age, the energy potential of each stem cell does decrease over time. In fact, the cell’s energy reduces by 50 per cent when we hit the big 4-0. The result: Skin is less able to protect and repair itself against external aggressors and damages.
#2 It uses Magadascan Longoza to reawaken skin’s stem cell energy
Known as “the eternal plant”, this flower extract was selected from 1,667 ingredients for its exceptional revitalising power. It’s capable of not only surviving, but thriving, in extreme environments. The plant is grown in the Dior Gardens in Madagascar without the use of pesticides and fertilisers, and its flowers are handpicked to preserve its potent revitalising properties.
#3 It is sustainably responsible and respectful of Mother Nature
Some 84 per cent of the Capture Totale C.E.L.L. Energy product formulas are made up of natural-origin ingredients, with the Super Potent Serum containing a whopping 91 per cent of natural actives. In addition, the various botanicals used in the range are all grown in the Dior Gardens under the best conditions – without chemical fertilisers or pesticides, while following strict protocols for harvesting and preservation.
And Dior’s sustainable efforts don’t stop there. The product packaging is also eco-friendly, using FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) paper and bottles made from recycled glass, as well as having removable pumps, which makes recycling easier.
