Basic rules for choosing a night cream for the face, why it is needed, how it should act and what to expect in the end. About the ingredients and also harmful substances in cosmetics.

At first it may seem that choosing the right night cream is a simple task, what a choice, wow! However, when you start searching and more than once come across products that not only do not improve, but also aggravate the skin condition, you understand what a blessing it is to find your product and rejoice when looking in the mirror every morning.

It happens that we choose the wrong face cream, be it night or day. However, we must admit that in addition to this, there are also cosmetics that are not very effective and even of poor quality, so it is advisable to carefully study each product that you are going to use.

Basic rules for choosing a night face cream

Before choosing any facial care product, it is important to know your facial skin type and what you want to get in the end.

Before getting into the details, there are a few factors that you should always consider:

  • Night cream should restore and accelerate skin regeneration;
  • A high-quality cream will not contain perfume or other deodorizing substances. The emphasis should be on its action, not on its sensations. Manufacturers who truly care about the effectiveness of their cosmetics, does not add fragrances to them;
  • Nourish and moisturize the skin. Nourishing creams are the ones that contain vitamins and natural oils. If there is right time for their application, then it is certainly night. Firstly, they have time to act, and secondly, a little shine on the skin is not scary during sleep;
  • Contain ingredients that help restore and regenerate the epidermis, such as adenosine, ceramides, enzymes, peptides, vitamins A and E, retinol and others. Why there is no point in investing in collagen cream, read the material Face cream with collagen;

  • The packaging must be appropriate. If the cream contains unstable ingredients, such as vitamin C, for example, then the best packaging is a tube with a dispenser. In this sense, many companies commit the sin of incorrectly packaging perfectly formulated products that, after the first opening, very quickly lose their effectiveness.

What is the difference between night cream and day cream?

Unlike day cream, night cream usually has a heavier texture, is not absorbed as quickly and can leave shine, since natural oils are usually added to them. But this is by no means a rule. Night cream can also have a light texture and absorb quickly, especially if it is intended for oily skin.

The main difference between night and day cream should still be in the composition. In night cream, the manufacturer is not afraid to add effective ingredients that are unstable when in contact with sunlight, for example.

A renewing cream with a small amount of acids or retinol should definitely be used at night, as both of these ingredients increase the skin's sensitivity to ultraviolet rays. During the period of using such creams, you need to take care of reliable sun protection during the day, otherwise you can get a skin reaction in the form of age spots.

The second difference is the absence of UV filters. Modern cosmetic companies rarely forget that during the day, the epidermis needs protection from harmful ultraviolet rays, therefore, as a rule, a small protection factor is present in every day face cream, which cannot be said about night care products.

Choosing a night cream based on your skin type

  • Normal to dry skin

If you have normal skin, acne does not bother you, but winter period needs additional care, then you have a much wider choice. In the summer, choose a lighter cream at night, maybe even a restorative serum. The main thing for you is to maintain the balance of your facial skin, so look for creams with vitamins and antioxidants, plant and fruit extracts. In winter, a night cream containing light oils (grape, rosehip, peach) will be very useful.

  • Dry face

Natural oils are most often used to care for dry skin, however, if you want to improve its condition, and not just maintain it in the same form, you need to think about exfoliation. Creams, serums and lotions containing small amounts of lactic or glycolic acid will help the epidermis renew and regenerate faster.

Those with oily skin need to be careful with creams containing oils, as they clog pores very easily. Luckily, you can find oil-free night creams. Proper night care for oily skin will include a cream containing hyaluronic acid, adenosine, peptides, ceramides, aloe, plant and herbal extracts.

Harmful substances in face creams

There are a huge number of harmful substances in personal care products. In this article we will discuss some of the most common ones:

Mineral oil– There are a lot of prejudices about mineral oil, but in general it is not as bad as many people think. Yes, it is obtained from oil, but with a high degree of purification, this oil becomes one of the most hypoallergenic and is very useful in many creams. It clogs pores - yes, but most people have this disadvantage natural oils. In general, mineral and other oils in cosmetics should be avoided by those with oily and acne-prone skin. Dry skin, on the contrary, will be protected by this oil.

Parabens. Recently, paraben-free cosmetics have become especially popular. Many began to link parabens with cancer due to misinterpretation of the results of one study conducted in 2004. Today there is no evidence that parabens “accumulate somewhere and cause cancer”; they are completely metabolized by the body. In fact, those parabens that are used as preservatives in cosmetics are identical to natural phytoestrogens. Parabens are an indispensable ingredient in cosmetics, as they are very effective against fungi and bacteria.

Ionol (Butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT))- used as an antioxidant and odor masking ingredient. Quite a strong allergen, irritates sensitive skin and eyes.

Triethanolamine- used to mask odor in cosmetics, a strong allergen of moderate toxicity.

Imidazolidinyl urea– in a sense, this substance is a kind of proof of what fears lead to. This is a preservative; many manufacturers now use it so as not to scare off their customers with the terrible word PARABENE. The buyer is happy, because he is calm in his confidence that he did himself a huge favor by choosing “paraben-free” cosmetics, but in fact he gets something much worse. Imidazolidinyl urea formaldehyde is a toxic substance and a strong allergen.

Review of the most popular night face creams

  • Clarins Multi-Active Night

Quite an expensive cream, especially considering the fact that the formula and ingredients do not stand out in any way. Contains a lot of fragrance and perfumes, which is not good, especially for a night cream that should restore the skin and not irritate it. All that can be expected after using this cream is softening and a little moisturizing, but not a reduction in fine wrinkles as the manufacturer promises.

  • Decleor Aroma Night

Already from the name it is clear that this cream is more related to aromatherapy than to professional care behind the skin of the face. You can’t use products with such a large amount of fragrance and perfume every day. Even if it is not always noticeable on the surface, believe me, your skin is suffering and this prevents it from fully recovering.

  • Shiseido Benefit WrinkleResist24

Unfortunately, I had the opportunity to try this cream on myself. It's expensive, but not worth the money. There was not only no effect, but the skin on my face began to look worse. Now, having learned to distinguish a little between the ingredients in cosmetics, I understand why. The basis of this cream is paraffin, wax and Vaseline. There is some vitamin E, a couple of plant extracts and a lot of fragrance and perfume. With this composition, what kind of fight against wrinkles can we talk about?! It's a pity for the money.

  • Night cream Liftactiv Nuit, Vichy

A good softening cream for dry skin, however, this is where all the benefits of this product end. It is very expensive, but you should not expect any restoration or fight against signs of aging.

  • Yes to Blueberries Age Refresh Overnight Hydrating cream

The basis of this cream is blueberry juice and also contains a number of good ingredients to soften and moisturize the skin, as well as plant extracts. Packaged in a jar with a dispenser, which is good for the stability of the ingredients and also from a hygiene point of view. Moisturizes without leaving a greasy shine. The ingredients also include vitamin E, retinol, olive oil and sea buckthorn oil.

  • RoC RetinOx Deep Wrinkle Night cream

One of the most popular night face creams. The main active ingredient in this cream is retinol. It is retinol that actively fights the signs of aging and the first wrinkles. RoC products are also good because they are fragrance-free and are usually packaged accordingly.

  • Olay complete night

A good moisturizer is light and absorbs easily. Main active ingredients: aloe vera juice, glycerin, vitamin E and salicylic acid.

Rules for choosing a night cream for those with oily skin

Preference, of course, should be given to those creams that are ideal for a specific skin type. Thick and fat cream not suitable for night use - it clogs pores and deprives the skin of free breathing.
Recommendations:

  • Preferably choose hypoallergenic creams with light texture.
  • Fragrances and comedogenic substances in the cream it is superfluous for night moisturizing of the skin.
  • The following components in the night cream bring benefits to the skin: vitamins E, A, C, retinol, jasmine, peptides, panthenol, jojoba, apricot, shea, rose or olive oil, collagen, amino acids etc.
  • Age from twenty five to thirty requires careful use of creams in general. It is advisable to use creams with maximum natural composition. You should not accustom your skin to creams and deprive it of its own hydration.
  • Cream for oily skin should contain alpha and beta hydroxy acids .
  • A little over thirty ? Buy cream with retinol, collagen, ceramides and other anti-aging components.

— I read a lot of reviews about Siberika. It’s not particularly expensive, so I didn’t think twice about it and bought it. I just needed a night cream. Pros: absorbs quickly, economical, no streaks, doesn’t clog pores, almost no smell, convenient packaging. And, if the manufacturer is not lying, the cream does not contain any parabens, silicones and oils. I didn’t find any cons.))
“My skin is incredibly problematic, and in the cold it also flakes off.” With Siberika I wake up in the morning, look in the mirror - I’m happy. Smooth skin, rested fresh face, no rashes. Now I will take the entire series for oily skin.

Reviews:

— I used Kodali before. Now only Clinic. For my skin type - just right. The consistency is pleasant, any girl will like it. The cream is not greasy and is completely absorbed after fifteen minutes. The savings are significant - the jar lasts for six months. The anti-aging effect is present - the manufacturers did not lie. The wrinkles around the mouth began to succumb to the cream)). At thirty-nine years old, I have already seen a lot of creams. This one really works. No allergies, no fragrances. The price... is a bit high. But when we talk about wrinkles, there is no time to save money. Overall, my favorite brand.
- Amazing cream. I didn't even expect it. The texture is light and absorbs perfectly into the skin. There is no stickiness, no greasy film. The face is velvety to the touch. You apply it at night, and in the morning your skin will glow.)) I’ve been using it for a month, during which time my wrinkles have smoothed out. The face looks younger than when it was nineteen! What’s especially pleasing is that no more rashes or bumps of any kind appear on the face. Minus - a little expensive. But for the sake of such an effect I don’t mind.))

Vichy Normaderm

Clogged pores regain their normal state after a month of use. The cream is ideal for problematic oily skin, inflammation, oily sheen, and blackheads.
Peculiarities:

  • Delicate aroma with herbal notes
  • Instant hydration and absorption
  • Hypoallergenic, thermal water included
  • Penetration of components into the depths of pores, cleansing and limiting their activity
  • Stimulation of the cellular renewal process, restoration of optimal functioning of the epidermis

Reviews:

— I’ve seen a lot of reviews about Vichy. Moreover, most of them are not at all in favor of this brand. I bought the cream at a pharmacy on sale. You know, I didn’t regret it. At first I was upset that I got the night cream, but now I wake up and am happy. Previously, in the morning my face was wrinkled and my skin was oily. Now the skin is tightened, healthy and refreshed. It became cleaner, the pores narrowed. Blackheads no longer bother me. In general, I like the cream and will definitely buy it again.
— I only use Vichy! I won’t advise anyone, because the choice of cosmetics is a purely individual matter, but for myself personally, it’s more and more.)) I have problem skin, I was looking for a powerful, effective cream. After two weeks of use, the color and structure of the skin evened out, inflammation went away, and there was no oily sheen. The skin after the night is fresh, rested, blooming. I’ve never had skin like this!)) I don’t look at the price, because there is an effect.))

Reviews:

— I bought the cream immediately after New Year's holidays(I suffered with peeling and irritation of the skin from the cold). My skin is oily, shiny, covered in blackheads. The store recommended this cream. Surprised by the quality for such a price. The peeling stopped after a week of use. Light cream, with a mattifying effect. Sometimes I smear myself with it even during the day)). Try it, maybe it will suit you.
- Hooray! I found my cream! Ideal, the best!))) The feeling after application is simply amazing - gentle, soft, you want to apply it without interruption! The smell is excellent, thick - in moderation, a beautiful jar, the skin feels amazing in the morning. For such a price - super quality!

My productive acquaintance with the domestic brand “Cream-Beauty” was not limited to just one day cream - of course, where there is a day cream, there will certainly be a night cream! Especially if they are both completely natural! After all, if you use these assistants in pairs, you can achieve much better results! I am glad to introduce you to my second indispensable assistant - a night cream for oily and problem skin with the inspiring name “Vitamin Cocktail”!


The same spectacular bottle with a dispenser, only now instead of the sun, the moon and stars are drawn on it - this confirms that this is a night cream. If you believe the manufacturer (and, as my personal experience, you can trust him), then this cream will definitely help nourish and moisturize the skin, reduce irritation, itching and inflammation, speed up the processes of cellular regeneration at night, regulate the activity of the sebaceous glands and tighten pores without clogging them. This cream will be a real find for caring for oily, problematic and dehydrated mixed skin!

On the back of the bottle, just as in the case of the day cream, you can find detailed information about the manufacturer (let me remind you that the manufacturer is located in the Moscow region, in the city of Lyubertsy), information about the production date and expiration date of the product, as well as detailed information about method of use of the product and its composition. My night cream is the same age as the day cream, since it was also made on May 11, 2017. And its shelf life is also only three months, which fully confirms its absolute naturalness! It’s so nice to hold the freshest product in your hands!


The composition of this product is also incredibly good: in it you can find not only purified water and the strange components I have already mentioned called Campo Plantservative WSr, Aristoflex AVC and Betaine AR, but also glycerin, hyaluronic acid, cypress essential oil, allantoin, St. John's wort, calendula and grape seed oils, as well as a mixture of chlorophylls extracted from eucalyptus leaves and extracts of yarrow, celandine, fucus and aloe. The naturalness is just off the charts!


The lid of the bottle snaps on very tightly, and a convenient dispenser will always help you extract the required amount of content from its depths. The contents here are as much as 50 ml!


The cream itself is colored in pleasant whitish-greenish shades and boasts both a fairly light consistency of medium thickness and a charming herbal aroma! It captures the notes of eucalyptus especially well!


Use night cream in the same way as its daytime counterpart: apply an even thin layer of the product to previously cleansed skin of the face and neck. And, of course, don’t forget to massage the skin thoroughly, being careful not to stretch it. Apply this cream in the evening, at least an hour and a half before going to bed.

This cream is also not absorbed quickly, but this fact confirms its 100% naturalness. It moisturizes and nourishes the skin with a plus, the skin after using it becomes softer and velvety and looks very well-groomed. The pores do indeed narrow, but they do not become clogged - perhaps this is due to the fairly light texture of the product. The face shines much less, and there is no trace of inflammation, redness or irritation on it! With this cream you wake up like a real goddess - you want to stroke and caress your skin!

By the way, this cream is as economical as its daily counterpart - both are used up quite slowly, because in order to pamper your skin with them, you only need to take a very small amount of the product. I think that both bottles will last me a good two months, one of which is already almost behind me! If you are still looking for the perfect natural remedies for oily skin – pay attention to the wonderful creams from the Russian brand “Cream-Beauty”! I am sure that you will be satisfied too!
