Our night creams feature richer textures and concentrated ingredients that work in harmony with your skin's natural overnight renewal process, delivering deep hydration and targeted benefits when your skin is most receptive. Each formula combines ethically sourced botanicals with proven actives that address concerns from dry skin to early signs of ageing like fine lines and wrinkles, all whilst you rest. 

What is the difference between a night cream and a day cream?

Night creams are formulated with richer, more emollient textures and higher concentrations of active ingredients than a day cream, as they're designed to support your skin's natural repair process during sleep. Whilst day creams often contain SPF and focus on protection and hydration, night creams prioritise deep nourishment, cell renewal, and intensive treatment of specific concerns. Your skin's permeability increases at night, allowing the concentrated ingredients in night creams to penetrate more effectively. Day creams typically have lighter textures suitable for wearing under makeup, whereas night creams can be more luxurious and occlusive, creating an ideal environment for overnight skin recovery.

Do I need to use a night cream every night?

Using night creams consistently delivers the best results, as your skin benefits from regular nourishment and support during its natural renewal cycle. However, you can adjust frequency based on your skin's needs: those with very oily blemish prone skin might use night creams 3-4 times weekly, whilst drier or mature skin types benefit from nightly application. Listen to your skin: if it feels comfortable and looks healthy with nightly use, continue; if it feels congested, reduce frequency slightly. The key is establishing a routine that works for your unique skin, remembering that consistent use of night creams helps maintain optimal hydration and supports your skin barrier's functions.

What are the key benefits of adding a night cream to my routine?

Night creams provide intensive hydration that helps repair your skin's moisture barrier whilst you sleep, preventing overnight water loss and promoting a plumper, more supple complexion. These formulations work in sync with your skin's natural circadian rhythm, when cell turnover and repair processes are most active, maximising the effectiveness of beneficial ingredients like aloe and hyaluronic acid. By giving your skin the concentrated nourishment it needs, night creams help you wake up with refreshed, revitalised skin.

Can I use a night cream during the day?

Whilst you technically can use night creams during the day, it's not ideal for several reasons. Night creams typically lack SPF, which is essential for daytime protection against UV damage, and their richer textures can feel heavy under makeup or in warm weather. Some night creams contain ingredients like retinol that increase photosensitivity, making daytime use potentially problematic without additional sun protection. For optimal results and appropriate protection, stick to using night creams as intended and choose a suitable face moisturiser for morning application.
