Cosmetics in a capsule
Capsule cosmetics provide concentrated facial care in a practical, individually dosed format. Face capsules are most often used when the skin needs more intensive care, better hydration, a smoother appearance, support for wrinkles, tired complexion or loss of elasticity.
Within the Face cosmetics category, capsule cosmetics have a special place because they allow precise dosing and targeted application of active ingredients. Capsules are usually applied after facial cleansing, before cream or as part of an evening anti-age routine, according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Face capsules can be a good choice for skin that needs extra nourishment, hydration, radiance and comfort. With products containing active ingredients, such as retinol or intensive anti-age formulas, it is important to introduce them gradually and use SPF protection during the day.

For hydration, a fresher look and wrinkle care, Dr. Grandel Hydro Active Hyaluron Filler Caps can be a good choice, particularly for skin lacking moisture and looking tired or dehydrated.
How to use face capsules properly?
Face capsules are usually used on clean and dry skin after facial cleansing. The capsule content is gently distributed over the face, neck and décolletage, avoiding direct contact with the eyes unless the manufacturer states otherwise.
After the capsule, a suitable cream can be applied. If the capsule contains retinol or stronger active ingredients, evening use, gradual introduction and daily SPF protection are recommended. With sensitive skin, too many active products should not be combined in the same routine.
Capsule cosmetics, retinol and sensitive skin
Retinol and intensive anti-age formulas can contribute to a more cared-for and smoother skin appearance, but with sensitive skin they can cause stinging, dryness, redness or flaking if introduced too quickly. That is why it is important to start less frequently, monitor the skin reaction and combine them with moisturizing care.
If you use products with retinol, SPF protection during the day is especially important. During pregnancy, breastfeeding, dermatological therapy or with very sensitive skin, advice from a dermatologist or pharmacist is recommended before using retinol and active capsules.
Pharmacist’s advice
Use capsule cosmetics as an addition to the routine, not as a replacement for basic steps: cleansing, hydration and SPF protection. With capsules containing retinol or intensive active ingredients, start gradually and monitor the skin reaction. If stronger redness, stinging, flaking or irritation appears, take a break and simplify the routine. During pregnancy, breastfeeding, with rosacea, eczema, acne, dermatological therapy or very sensitive skin, consult a dermatologist or pharmacist.
