10 Of The Most Hydrating Night Creams Ever

If you are new to the skincare clan, you might still be building your night time routine, and you might have wondered whether night creams are worth the hype or not. After all, it is an additional hole in your pocket! Well guess what, they definitely are worth it! Carefully formulated night creams with just the right ingredients help strengthen your skin's barrier and make it dewy and plumpy. Night creams are different from daytime moisturizers as they come in a thicker consistency and have more hydrating and moisturizing ingredients as compared to the brightening ingredients of day creams.

Research points to the fact that if you are asleep by 10 pm on a good day, two important hormones that increase the skin cells’ turnover rate and help in the skin’s repair and regeneration start to rise within the first hour of sleeping (ie by 11 pm). These hormones are human growth hormone (HGH) and melatonin (also known as the sleep hormone), and their function is best supplemented by ingredients like retinoids (derivatives of vitamin A), hyaluronic acid, and antioxidants like vitamin C and E. Picking the right night moisturizer will help you to simplify your routine and get that beauty sleep, quite literally. Even though night creams can be used by anyone in their skincare journey, you will reap the maximum benefits from using one if you start using it in your early to mid twenties. As they have a slightly thicker consistency, you should use them as the last step in your skincare routine. If you want to take your skincare game up a notch, you can end your routine with a thick petroleum- based product (simple vaseline for example).

Today we have listed our top picks of night creams to look into before you purchase the next one:

1. Best overall: Vrija Night Cream

This is our favorite night cream as it aims to lock in moisture and helps repair the skin. The key ingredients in its formulation include stearic acid, which is highly potent in locking in moisture, along with niacinamide for its soothing properties. Ingredients like ceramides will help protect your skin’s barrier. To add another feather to its cap, it also contains anti acne ingredients.

2. For anti-ageing: Olay regenerist night moisturizer-

This moisturizer has two different retinol molecules along with niacinamide and it claims to penetrate into the deeper layers of the skin. It also claims to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Being fragrance free, it is the right pick for you if you have sensitive skin.

3. Best for combating acne: plum green tea clarity night gel: this night gel is a lightweight formula for people with oily, acne prone skin. Formulated with anti-inflammatory ingredients like green tea, it reduces the pain and red appearance of acne. AHAs like glycolic acid reduce the development of acne, while salicylic acid sources like willow bark extract reduce the formation of blackheads.
