DIOR Capture Totale Hyalushot, $120

DIOR science has shown that the skin’s mother cells lose their anchoring proteins with age, leading to the loss of hyaluronic acid – wrinkles appear and become established in the eight main areas of the face. The Capture Totale Hyalushot wrinkle corrector is the first DIOR intensive wrinkle solution that works on wrinkle visibility across multiple zones to act on the appearance of both present and emerging signs of wrinkles. It harnesses the power of three key ingredients: a duo of hyaluronic acids, a peptide selected for its smoothing effect, and a longoza extract. Together, they plump and smooth the skin, both instantly and over time.
