Q1: What does a night cream do?

A night cream provides moisturisation as part of a nighttime skincare routine. Depending on the formula, it may also contain ingredients aimed at concerns such as brightening, retinol-based care or barrier support.

Q2: Can I use a night cream every night?

It depends on the formula. A basic moisturising night cream can fit into a regular routine, while products containing active ingredients may have specific usage instructions.

Q3: Which night cream is good for dry skin?

A richer cream can feel more comfortable when your skin tends to feel dry at night. Check the texture and moisturising ingredients before choosing one.

Q4: Can I use a night cream instead of a moisturizer?

Yes, if the night cream gives your skin the moisturisation it needs. Many night creams are moisturisers designed specifically for nighttime use.

Q5: Is a sleeping mask the same as a night cream?

Not quite. Both are leave-on nighttime products, but sleeping masks are generally positioned as overnight treatments, while night creams are usually centred around moisturisation and nighttime care.

Q6: Can I use retinol night cream every day?

Follow the directions for the specific product. If you are new to retinol, introduce it gradually and see how your skin responds before increasing use.

Q7: Should I use a night cream after serum?

Yes. If serum is part of your nighttime routine, night cream can usually be applied afterwards.

Q8: Can I use a night cream during the day?

It depends on the product. Some night creams have richer textures or active ingredients intended for nighttime use, so check the product directions before using one during the day.
