I'm Trying to Look 25 Forever, so I Asked Derms What Night Creams to Prioritize
"For oily to combination skin, I recommend The Inkey List Omega Water Cream, which is a great gel-cream that's hydrating but fast absorbing, non-sticky, and oil-free," says Liu.
This year is all about barrier repair, and this bouncy gel moisturizer from OleHenriksen is no exception. Packed with amino acid, peptides, ceramides, and collagen, it strengthens your skin barrier while leaving skin impossibly smooth.
If you'd like a richer cream, Liu recommends this moisturizer. It's infused with omega fatty acids and hyaluronic acid to plump skin and help repair the skin's barrier.
Somehow, this moisturizer is thick and emollient without feeling heavy at all on the skin. Take it from me—I've gone through two jars of this cream. I love it so much. Japanese purple rice acts as an antioxidant to protect skin, and algae and hyaluronic acid prevent moisture loss.
In this potent night cream, fermented tea and green coffee extract work to fight free radical damage and slough off dead skin cells. It also helps smooth your skin's texture.
When I test-drove some of SkinCeuticals' hero products, this moisturizer came out on top for me. Hydroxy acid helps refine and exfoliate the skin, while botanical extracts help nourish dry skin.
If you struggle with redness and enlarged pores, this night mask is a major game changer. Ten percent niacinamide works to refine skin's texture and calm inflammation.
Patel says this moisturizer is a great choice for a boost of vitamin C and peptides.
If you're a skincare minimalist, this cream is for you. Tatcha combines a serum and a moisturizer with this innovative product, and the result is a plumping, calming cream that give skin a dreamy glow.
You might not be able to go to a French pharmacy for your skincare, but you can use this night cream, which is pretty damn close. It's ultra-soothing and hydrating.
This is another face cream that I will always come back to. It does such a good job at moisturizing and repairing skin thanks to ceramides and a blend of nourishing oils.
"Visha Skincare Rejuvenating Moisturizer has unicorn-root extract to help with collagen and estrogen loss," says Patel.
Talk about a multitasking product. This night cream reduces discoloration, firms and hydrates skin, adds radiance, and works to smooth fine lines.
Your night cream doesn't have to be complicated. This pick from CeraVe soothes, hydrates, and plumps skin while you sleep.
Glycolic acid, viniferine (vine sap), and papaya enzymes work together to brighten skin.
This cream is always on lists of top night creams, and for good reason. It's packed with lipids such as ceramides, cholesterol, and fatty acids to nourish skin.
Colloidal oatmeal makes this rich night cream so soothing.
This Kiehl's night mask is really gentle, so it is a good pick for even the most sensitive skin. It imparts tons of moisture.
