6 best night creams available in the country
There are a lot of skin care options in the cosmetic industry that could be confusing due to the sheer variety available. Of course, a lot of people wonder about the exact purpose of a night cream and believe it can be used interchangeably with a moisturizer but this is not the case. The purpose of night creams is to give you a fresher look the next morning. Established dermatologists say that night creams should be thicker than day creams because they use exfoliators for improving the texture of skin, hence hydrating the skin and retaining the required moisture that was lost the previous day.
Retinol being the major content in night creams, they make you look less tired and helps you avoid having to face the day with puffy eyes. As highly recommended as a night cream may be, it is always advisable to read the label before you opt to buy one. Dr. Gonzalez, a dermatologist at Mt. Sinai hospital suggests purchasing the night creams that have ceramides, glycerin, and hyaluronic acid for hydration, and retinol which will act as the acne fighter and anti-aging factor. Other important contents of night creams should be resveratrol that fights against environmental stress, glycolic acid that exfoliates and niacinamide helps with brown spots and acnes.
