The Mystery of Night Creams

Ever wonder why night creams often feel so much richer than day creams? It’s pretty fascinating how skincare products are formulated with different purposes in mind. At night, our skin goes into repair mode, so ingredients like retinol and peptides are more effective. What’s been your experience with night versus day skincare products?

, I really struggle with this! While I totally agree that ‘our skin goes into repair mode,’ I’ve found that some night creams are just too heavy and break me out. I usually mix in a lighter serum with the cream; that combo’s worked so much better for me.
