Early this year I came across a strange new product from Dior Capture Totale which they call “DreamSkin”. Now, wouldn’t you admit that a name like that makes you sit right up and go “Ooh! Will it give me my dream skin?!”
Well that’s the idea. Dior calls it the “DreamSkin Perfect Skin Creator” and tells us that it will at once, refine skin texture, even skintone, diminish wrinkles, increase radiance… and it provides instant results upon application. Instant! The first day I came across a pop up counter offering samples, I sat back, had a short chat with the SA and walked away with a sample.
The thing is, my skin takes well to Dior Capture Totale skincare. Not so much the other ranges, but with Capture Totale I know I’m in good hands. Yet, when I knew that this contains mica platelets to give you that “instant radiance” I immediately felt my scepticism kick in.
I took the wee sample for a quick trial run just to see what the fuss is about (since people are raving up and down the internet about this marvellous serum) and I can tell you I’m singularly unimpressed.
