5 Anti-Aging Night Creams That Dermatologists Recommend For Hydrated Skin

Tata Harper Repairative Moisturizer ($110) 

Los Angeles-based dermatologist Dr. Annie Chiu, MD, loves this because it is "a hydrating, but not overly rich moisturizer" that contains "water-retaining hyaluronic acid and anti-inflammatory botanicals like lavender oil, which make it a nice lightweight moisturizer for those with sensitive skin."

Karyn G Restructuring Night Cream ($75) 

Dr. Karyn Grossman, MD, who has helped famous clients like Molly Sims and Linda Evangelista, developed her skincare line to address "all the signs of aging." She loves her brand's night cream because it "works on hydration, barrier repair, exfoliation, inflammation, and DNA repair" while also naturally boosting collagen and hyaluronic acid in the skin. 

SkinBetter Science Regenerating AlphaRet Overnight Cream ($110) 

Dr. Estee Williams, who is a dermatologist in New York City, is a fan of this overnight cream because it simplifies her nighttime routine. "It contains both retinol and exfoliating lactic acid, and the pump dispenses just the just the right amount of the stuff," says Williams. "I love pairing this with SkinBetter Science's Alto defense serum because it keeps skin care streamlined."

Neutrogena Rapid Wrinkle Repair Night Moisturizer ($23.99) 

New York City-based dermatologist Joshua Zeichner, MD, recommends this drugstore-favorite nighttime moisturizer because of its powerful retinol content. "Retinol is the best-studied over-the-counter ingredient we have in fighting signs of skin aging,” he says. “But not all retinol is created equal, so it’s important to choose a product that has a stable formulation and proven effectiveness.”

Revision D.E.J. Face Cream ($140) 

“My favorite is Revision D.E.J. Face Cream, which has the added bonus of Vitamin C and can help to smooth fine lines,” dermatologist Maura Caufield, MD, explains. She says this night cream is best for those who are using a prescription retinol and need a non-irritating night cream that offers extra hydration.
