Night creams

Night cream: overnight care for every skin type

A night cream is a face cream applied in the evening after cleansing, working through the whole night. Here you will find night creams that moisturise, nourish and restore skin, as well as anti-ageing lines for mature skin.

At night there is no sunlight or makeup to deal with, and the active ingredients reach the skin calmly. That is why night creams often have a richer texture than day creams and focus mostly on moisture and skin renewal.

How to choose a night cream

• Skin type: dry skin suits a thicker, richer cream, normal and combination skin a lighter emulsion or gel cream.
• Age and needs: younger skin often needs just a moisturising cream; mature skin is served by lines for wrinkles, firmness and even tone.
• Same line: a night cream works best when cleanser and serum come from the same brand.
• Amount: a thin layer is enough; the cream absorbs while you sleep.

In the daytime skin needs different care: see day cream, an eye cream for the eye area, and the full selection under face cream. Night creams are available from Filorga and Estee Lauder, among others.

When should I use night cream?

In the evening after cleansing and toner, before bed. You can use it every evening.

Can night cream be used in the daytime?

Night creams have a richer texture and do not always include sun protection, so a day cream is more convenient for the daytime.

Do I need an eye cream as well as a night cream?

The skin around the eyes is thinner and has its own care products. Many people use both in the evening: eye cream and night cream.
