A night cream is more than a nighttime moisturizer. Each one is designed to target skin during its regeneration process at night when it’s in repair mode to prevent dryness, fine lines, and wrinkles.
“Night creams are the last and final step of the day, designed to be applied to the skin right before you hit the sheets and work throughout the night to repair, rejuvenate, and revitalize the skin,” according to The Dermatology Review, which also states that it’s been proven that the skin absorbs ingredients and regenerates best at night while you sleep.
What Do Night Creams Do?
Night creams also deliver skin-healthy ingredients like ceramides, which trigger collagen production, and vitamins A, C, E or B5 that help the skin function optimally. They also ensure that the skin is moisturized and hydrated, which will help you wake up with a glowing, healthy complexion.
