Botox, fillers, lasers and peels … as more and more people turn to aesthetic treatments to maintain youthful skin, Dior continues to develop new and innovative approaches, offering highly compelling alternatives to anti-aging procedures. With a growing number of individuals opting for aesthetic medicine before the age of 40—especially in regions like China, where many start before 25—the beauty brand is responding to this demand by creating advanced skincare solutions inspired by professional treatments. Now, with the launch of Capture Totale Retishot, Dior introduces a targeted formula designed to promote skin renewal and improve overall skin quality, addressing the core signs of aging.
For more than two decades, Dior science has pioneered research into the role of stem cells in skin aging. Their findings revealed that as we age, stem cells lose their ability to anchor at the dermo-epidermal junction, which leads to a decrease in skin renewal, the weakening of structural proteins, and the deterioration of skin quality. This loss manifests in common skin concerns such as enlarged pores, skin marks, roughness, and uneven complexion. Recognizing these signs of aging, Dior has crafted Capture Totale Retishot to combat these issues head-on.
At the core of the Retishot formula is [H.P.] Retinol, a highly pure retinol known for its powerful skin-renewing properties. Retinol works by converting into retinoic acid within the skin, accelerating cell turnover and boosting structural protein production. In the Capture Totale Retishot formula, a 0.1 per cent concentration of this retinol has been shown to significantly improve skin health, with a 279 per cent increase in proteins vital for renewal and a 43 per cent boost in structural protein production. Additionally, the formula is gentle enough for sensitive skin, offering high performance without irritation. Retinol’s effectiveness, however, is often compromised by exposure to air and light, which can degrade the ingredient. Dior’s innovative three-chamber packaging ensures the retinol remains protected, delivering maximum efficacy with every application.
Complementing the retinol is multi-fermented longoza, a key ingredient sourced from the Dior Garden in Madagascar. Known for its regenerative properties, longoza enhances the skin’s ability to anchor stem cells, increasing skin renewal by 92 per cent and protecting against the degradation of structural proteins. This combination of retinol and longoza works to restore the skin’s youthful appearance, helping to reduce imperfections, brighten the complexion, and smooth rough texture.
Clinical tests have demonstrated the remarkable impact of Capture Totale Retishot on the skin. After just one week, users reported visibly improved skin quality. In one month, skin appeared up to six years younger, with reductions in pore visibility, skin marks, and imperfections. Skin smoothness, radiance, and evenness were also significantly enhanced. The formula has been validated by leading dermatologists, including Dr. Patricia Ogilvie, founder of SkinConcept Munich, and Dr. Gisele Ji, director of operations of Shanghai Human Health Outpatient Clinic, who both praised its ability to deliver professional-level results at home.
To fully experience the benefits of Capture Totale Retishot, Dior recommends incorporating it into a complete skincare routine. In the evening, starting with Capture Totale Lotion Essence Intense to hydrate the skin, followed by Capture Totale Le Sérum for anti-aging correction, and then applying Retishot for targeted results. Finish with Capture Totale Super Potent Rich Creme for overnight nourishment and repair. In the morning, the routine can be completed with the same serum, eye cream, and Dreamskin products to protect the skin throughout the day. Due to retinol’s photosensitivity effects, it’s crucial to apply sunscreen in the morning to shield the skin from UV damage.
With Capture Totale Retishot, Dior is offering a revolutionary solution for those seeking to prevent or reverse the signs of aging. By combining two potent ingredients—retinol and longoza—Dior has created a formula that promotes skin regeneration and restores youthful radiance. Truly, the ability to address multiple signs of aging with clinical precision makes Retishot a standout product in today’s crowded skincare market. —Noa Nichol
