Review: Dior Capture XP Overnight Recovery Serum and Wrinkle Correction Night Cream

September 24, 2009 Paris B 11 Comments

You might have noticed the new Dior Capture XP R60/80 Nuit products at the counters. Its hard to miss the luxurious looking navy blue Dior Capture XP Overnight Recovery Serum bottle paired with the Dior Capture XP Wrinkle Correction Night Cream.

Dior Capture XP R60/80 Overnight Recovery Serum – RM360

The Dior Overnight Recovery Serum is a thick white liquid dispensed via a pippette. I love all these geeky looking gadgets. Unlike the other anti-aging serums that have revolved around DNA lately, Dior instead harnesses the power of stem cells to renew skin, and this is done overnight when your body is at rest so cell regeneration is twice as intense.

The texture of the serum is thick but applies light on the skin. I like the serum. It makes my skin feel velvety soft after application and somehow makes it look a little bit better.

In the morning, I wake up to skin that I swear looks a little bit better. You are recommended to use this with the new Dior XP Wrinkle Correction Night Cream but I’ve used it with any number of other night creams and my skin still feels as good. Don’t tell Dior I said that! 😉

The price is of course a little prohibitive at RM360/50ml, but then most serums are rather pricey anyway and you don’t have to use much, just a few drops for your whole face and just only at night.

Pros: Nice texture, Makes my skin feel soft and looks better, Works with other creams from other ranges/brands

Cons: Expensive


Dior Capture XP R60/80 Wrinkle Correction Night Cream – RM345/50ml

The complementary night cream to the recovery serum is the Wrinkle Correction Night Cream. The cream comes suspended in a HUGE heavy oval shaped tub. Very luxurious when sat on your vanity but not very good for travel.

Texture wise, the cream is a little thick and tacky. A spatula is provided for hygiene reasons so you can scoop out the desired amount each time you use isntead of dipping your fingers in. Props for design!

The fragrance isn’t as strong as I expected it to be. This is my first time using Dior skincare products and I know they tend to overdose on the fragrance. There is a scent but I don’t find it unpleasant.

After much experimentation, I’ve discovered that a pea sized amount of moisturizer is about enough. This is about 1 spatula worth. I initially thought it was too little so I used more and that made my skin feel weird and filmy. So, I went back down to a pea sized amount and suddenly my skin started feeling much better.

When I first apply the night cream over the overnight recovery serum, my skin feels plump and soft. It absorbs very quickly and initially, I felt that it was insufficient for night. However, I’ve been using this cream for a month now and I think its actually a pretty good night cream. My skin feels a little smoother and firmer and there is a glow in the mornings after I wash my face. I must say that the results aren’t instantaneous – I only really started noticing results after about 3 weeks so any transformation to the skin is very gradual.

However, I don’t think its helping much to correct wrinkles too. Ok I don’t have significant wrinkles but I do have some lines that could do with some correction and nope, no effect. So whilst this is a pretty good night cream, those looking for wrinkle correction may be disappointed.

Pros: No breakouts, No super strong fragrance, Skin feels nice after about 1 month’s use

Cons: No visible wrinkle correction, Results take a while to show which can cause some people to be disheartened

So of the 2 new offerings from Dior in the Capture XP R60/80 line, I do like the Overnight Recovery Serum but I’d ask you to try the Wrinkle Correction Night Cream in person before getting it. Do note that the Dior Capture XPR60/80 line is targeted at those who are 35 upwards and those who want skincare with anti-aging properties. So, if you’re younger or still have good skin, this may not be quite for you, but more for your Mum 🙂

Update on Franken-toe

After undergoing an X-ray at the hospital, I saw that the bones in my toe were fine. Straight as a nail in the x-ray but looks weird in real life. Maybe its always been that way 😛 Still, the doctor says it might be a hairline crack which will heal itself or a stretched ligament both of which will take up to a month to heal properly. Till then, I’ll be in open toe flats or sandals or flip flops. That means my dressing will be toned down too. Sigh… I NEED my toes to heal quickly so I can wear shoes and walk for miles… 😛

Stay beautiful

      Hiya prettybeautiful

      Thanks! I didn’t think it was quite as expensive as all that 🙂 Department store price for a higher end range of products.

    I seriously haven’t tried any Dior skincare or not even a lot of their Cosmetics because the price has always been stopping me 🙂

      Hiya Nikki

      This is the first time I’m trying the skincare – cosmetics wise I place them on par with a lot of department store brands so the prices are quite comparable there. I have to agree though that it takes some saving up before splurging!

    I tried the previous version of this night cream, i think the jar is light salmon pink coloured… it broke me out for MONTHS!!! even after i’ve stopped using it…. 🙁 i’ve learned my lesson not to use anti ageing creams (Dior’s are very thick and too pore-clogging for me) until i am at least 30+…Just a word of advise lor… ! 🙂

    I was a faithful user of Dior for some years, and i liked their whitening range a lot.. I’ve also tried their lifting serum and most of the XR and XP serums…. (i just can’t remember the names of it all)…. and I realise that most of their skincare will cause breakouts for me…hmmm…… i think i have given up on Dior for now…

    KOSE is really the best and will hardly ever caused any breakouts for me… even if i apply thick thick… hehe….. back to KOSE again! 🙂

    I was given a sample of the overnight recovery serum by a friend for my wife but there is no manafucture date nor expiry date printed on the box nor on the bottle. Tell me if it is safe for my wife to user

The pup & I celebrating birthdays within weeks of The pup & I celebrating birthdays within weeks of each other 😁 Kiddo turns 4 and celebrated with specially made doggy burgers & fries.

I got him in early Jan 2020 so he’s only been with me less than 4 years but it’s been incredible to see how he’s grown (or not), and how he’s slowly mellowed with age (or not!). He’s still that crazy rambunctious puppy who terrorises other dogs, begging them to play and barking at them when they don’t. He’s a greedy fella who makes me think I’m the greatest chef in the world (in the dog world maybe!) and he still gets crazy eyes when excited. 

But I’ve also found more white hair around his eyes and he sleeps in more and later now. He doesn’t even get up early enough to jump onto the bed as he used to 😔

4 years is practically adulthood in doggy years and I’m thankful that we have the opportunity to spend lots of time together even if I bemoan having to bring him everywhere I go. 

Happy 4 years boy ❤️
