To use Anti-Aging Cream Capsules, use the spatula to scoop a small hazelnut-sized amount of cream and one capsule. Mix them on the back of your hand, then apply the cream in the evening after your serum, avoiding the eye area. Massage gently until the capsule has melted completely. Mixing helps distribute the capsule through the cream, while massage finishes the job.
Scoop the cream and capsule together
This is not a uniform cream: you can see the capsules in the formula. According to the manufacturer, they protect delicate active ingredients until application, then melt as you massage the cream into your skin. They are not meant to exfoliate.
Use the spatula to control what you scoop
With clean hands and a clean spatula, scoop a small hazelnut-sized amount of cream. Before placing it on your hand, check that it contains one capsule. Taking only the creamy base is not the recommended method.
There is no need to collect extra capsules to intensify the treatment. The manufacturer’s guide specifies one small hazelnut-sized amount of cream and one capsule. It does not give a different proportion for dry, oily or mature skin, so keep the same ratio whatever your skin type.
Mix on your hand before touching your face
Place the cream and capsule on the back of your hand. With the tip of a clean finger, work the capsule into the creamy base before applying the mixture to your face.
Do not place the capsule directly on one cheek. It may leave you working on one small area while trying to make it melt. The instructions call for mixing the capsule with the cream on your hand first.
Both steps matter. The capsule does not need to melt completely on your hand. Once the mixture is on your face, keep massaging until the capsule has disappeared completely.

Apply and massage without scrubbing
Stay on the face and away from the eye area
Spread the mixture over your cheeks, forehead and chin, leaving the eye area clear. Do not apply the cream to your eyelids or along the lash line. For this application, stay on the face: the instructions do not extend to the neck or décolleté.
If any product gets into your eyes, rinse immediately with clean water. Soothing ingredients do not change this precaution.
Let massage finish melting the capsule
Spread the treatment with your fingers, then use gentle movements over any areas where the capsule is still noticeable. Continue until you can no longer see or feel any piece of capsule, but stop before your skin becomes warm from rubbing.
If a small fragment remains on your cheek after the rest of the cream has spread, gently work over that spot with the product already on your skin. Do not add another capsule or try to remove the fragment with your fingernail.
Visible capsule, residue or discomfort: what should you do?
| What you notice | The right response |
|---|---|
| The spatula contains cream but no capsule. | Complete the scoop with one capsule before mixing everything on your hand. |
| The capsule remains distinct after mixing. | Work it into the creamy base, then finish melting it while massaging your face. |
| A fragment remains on the skin. | Gently massage the area again, without adding more product or increasing the pressure. |
| Your skin feels hot or starts to sting while you keep working at it. | Stop massaging. Do not try to remove the residue at the cost of irritating your skin. |
Flakes that appear after layering several skincare products are not necessarily capsule fragments. Check the texture as soon as you mix the product on your hand; this can help you tell the two situations apart. To review the order of your products, see our guide to skincare layering.
Useful reminders for your routine
Use this cream in the evening, after your serum. It contains retinal, among other ingredients. Our article on the difference between retinol and retinal explains this active ingredient in more detail.
If you are new to powerful active ingredients, start gradually and increase the frequency as your skin adjusts. For very reactive skin, the manufacturer recommends carrying out a test first. If redness or discomfort persists, slow down rather than continuing to apply the product. You can learn to recognise the signs of sensitised skin.
During the day, remember to use sun protection. Find the key points in our article on daily sun protection.
FAQ: your questions about the capsules
Should you remove a casing before applying the cream?
No. Mix the capsule with the cream and let it melt during massage. There is no need to open or remove the casing.
Is it normal to see a capsule after application?
It may remain visible while you are handling the product, but continue massaging gently until it has melted completely. If your skin becomes uncomfortable, stop rather than insisting.
Can you apply this cream in the morning?
The manufacturer places it in the evening routine. Follow this guidance and use your usual morning routine during the day, together with sun protection.
