Night Cream

Repair and Replenish Overnight

Night creams are designed to support the skin while you sleep, when your routine is focused on hydration and recovery rather than protection. They often have richer textures or include ingredients better suited to evening use. At ARC, this category includes options from Estée Lauder, Dermalogica, La Mer, ELEMIS, and Sisley Paris.

What Makes Night Cream Different from Day Cream

The difference between day and night moisturisers is mostly about texture and formulation. Day creams are often lighter and may include SPF or antioxidants, while evening formulas tend to focus on hydration and ingredients like peptides or retinoids. That said, you do not always need two separate moisturisers. If your routine already includes targeted serums, one moisturiser can be enough for both morning and night. Alternatively, a richer formula in the evening can add comfort, especially if skin feels dry.

Key Ingredients to Look for in Evening Formulas

Evening routines often include ingredients that support hydration and skin renewal. Retinoids are used to improve the look of texture over time, while peptides help support firmness. Hydrating ingredients like hyaluronic acid maintain moisture overnight. For richer textures, Dermalogica Super Rich Repair and La Mer Rejuvenating Night Cream are designed to deliver deeper nourishment, with options from ELEMIS and Sisley Paris offering similar comfort-focused formulas.
