Treating your skin with a night cream as you sleep is the ultimate form of multitasking: you’re taking advantage of your body’s natural renewal process while doing, well, nothing. “At night, accelerated skin rejuvenation and repair occurs,” explains Dr. Blair Murphy-Rose<\/a>, a board-certified dermatologist in New York City. “It is believed that the rate of skin renewal doubles, collagen production speeds up, and cell damage reverses.”<\/p>

A good night’s sleep, in and of itself, does more than a topical product ever can, but that doesn’t necessarily mean your skin doesn’t need a little help from a hydrating cream along the way. “Water loss through the skin is thought to be high overnight, so locking in moisture while sleeping is important,” says Dr. Murphy-Rose. “At night, a moisturizer that is well-balanced for your skin and that will keep your skin hydrated through this period of increased transepidermal water loss is ideal.”<\/p>

That’s why it’s crucial to find the best night cream with the right ingredients for your specific needs. Here, we break down which night cream is the best for aging skin, dry skin, sensitive skin, blemish-prone skin, and beyond. <\/p>

“Retinol stimulates production of collagen, supports healthy skin-cell turnover, increases elasticity, treats fine lines, improves texture and tone, and minimizes the appearance of pores,” says Dr. Murphy-Rose. This fast-absorbing cream pairs the nighttime go-to ingredient with skin-strengthening vitamins and peptides, and its fragrance-free status means the formula plays nicely with even sensitive skin.<\/p>

Start with one pump every other night for one to two weeks and increase to nightly use as tolerated.”<\/p>
