Glamglow Good in Bed Passionfruit Softening Night Cream

Your nighttime moisturizer should dial up hydration to help repair the skin barrier. This rich cream contains moisture-magnet hyaluronic acid, passionfruit oil and the exfoliants alpha-hydroxy acid and beta-hydroxy acid—the latter two boost skin-cell turnover and combat dullness.

Fresh Lotus Youth Preserve Dream Face Cream

How can you fake eight hours of sleep when you’ve barely logged a few? Try Fresh Lotus Youth Preserve Dream Face Cream. The hero ingredient is—you guessed it—an extract from the antioxidant-rich lotus plant that fights the formation of skin-damaging free radicals, while peach-leaf extract provides the dreamy scent.

Drunk Elephant A-Passioni Retinol Cream

Retinols are most effective when used at night because sunlight can render them inactive. Drunk Elephant’s A-Passioni Retinol Cream—made with a vegan (plant derived) 1-percent retinol—wraps up the sometimes irritating anti-aging active in a rich, nourishing base that includes passionfruit, apricot and jojoba oils.

Laneige Water Sleeping Mask

K-beauty brand Laneige has done the impossible: It has created a fast-absorbing overnight gel-cream mask that won’t transfer to your pillow. We love it for those skin-dehydrating winter days when night cream alone won’t cut it. The secret ingredient? Water enriched with minerals to vibe with the skin’s own moisturizing agents.

Ole Henriksen Goodnight Glow Retin-ALT Sleeping Crème

If you want proof of this brand’s efficacy, Google its ageless founder—Ole Henriksen is 67 but looks about 40. This cream is an ideal multi-purpose product for all skin types. It contains bakuchiol, a plant-based retinol alternative. Also key: the rich, but not heavy texture and the addition of skin-firming edelweiss stem cells to maximize overnight repair.

Murad Night Fix Enzyme Treatment

Serum is key to any overnight skincare regimen—it typically has a higher concentration of actives and contains smaller molecules so it can penetrate deeper into skin. This vegan formula from Murad contains an anti-aging peptide as well as antioxidant-rich enzymes from micro-algae to target wrinkles. Bonus? Its fragrance is said to be sleep-inducing.

Caudalie Caudalie Vinoperfect Brightening Glycolic Night Cream

You’re a multi-tasker, so your night cream should be too. Caudalie’s Vinoperfect Brightening Glycolic Night Cream contains Viniferine, a potent ingredient found in grapevine sap, to soften the look of dark spots and scarring and glycolic acid to gently reveal brighter skin come morning. Manifique, non?

Sunday Riley Luna Sleeping Night Oil

Fun fact: Oils can be just as hydrating as your moisturizer. This version from cult-favourite Sunday Riley contains retinol oil, which is said to be more gentle than traditional forms of the anti-aging ingredient. Oh, and it’s wrapped up in the prettiest cobalt formula, courtesy of blue tansy and German camomile essential oils.
