We can’t stress the importance of beauty sleep enough. Whether if you’re in your 20s or 50s, slumber is the best time for the skin to repair and restore itself, regardless of if you’re dealing with acne, wrinkles, dryness, access sebum or stubborn dark spots. But aside from staying on top of healthy bedtime and a strict nighttime skin routine, the key to recharging your skin is a hard-working night cream.

While the idea of night cream may seem like another money-motivated scheme by the beauty industry, these creams are specially-formulated with richer consistencies and contain heavier does of complex ingredients that aren’t recommended for daytime-use — such as retinol — as well as chemical exfoliants like alpha-hydroxy acids.
As the colder months call for more reactive skin and colder nights, there’s no better time to get your hands on the perfect night cream. Scroll below for our top picks.
