The best night creams for glowing skin by morning, according to dermatologists

Reported by CNN · November 3 at 7:59 AM · Summary by Dew & Balm

CNN published a guide to night creams, with dermatologists recommending several products for different skin types, including options for mature, sensitive and dry skin. The piece covers why overnight hydration matters and what ingredients to look for. It is a product roundup rather than a news event.

Background

Skin loses water more readily overnight, and many people use a richer moisturizer at night than in the morning. Ingredients such as ceramides, humectants and peptides are common in night formulas to support the skin barrier, while retinol is often used at night because it can make skin more sensitive to sunlight.

Why it matters

Night creams carry many of the same ingredients as other skin care products, so reading the label helps you judge fragrance, essential oils and retinoids before you buy.

What you can do

If you have sensitive skin or react to fragrance, check the ingredient list for fragrance or essential oils before buying, and try a new cream on a small area first.
