Day Cream vs Night Cream: What's the Difference?

Day Cream

Never apply makeup without applying a day cream! Day cream allows you to apply your magic primers, foundations, concealers, colour correctors and powders onto a super smooth-looking, hydrated complexion!

It’s important to have separate day and night moisturisers due to the different ingredients, formulas, benefits, and textures they tend to have. Instead of using your daily moisturiser in the evening, save it for your morning skincare routine.

For example, ingredients that protect your skin from external aggressors, like SPF against UV rays and CITYSTEM™ for pollution defence, are wasted if apply them to your skin before you sleep, and brightening-effect ingredients like Vitamin C and Camellia Oil help to create a glowing, dewy-looking complexion that’s perfect for a daytime radiance!

So, when shopping for your day and night moisturisers, embrace the ingredients that work best for each! Day creams tend to be full of hydrating, defence, brightening, and smoothing effect ingredients for a gorgeous fresh-looking complexion and perfect canvas for makeup application!

Night Cream

At the end of the day, think about how much your skin has gone through; it could be exposed to polluted air when commuting, harsh weather conditions, damaging blue light from digital screens and the sun, and even topping up your makeup.

A night cream is designed to help revitalise your skin overnight, and the formula is usually much richer and thicker than a daily moisturiser, for a pampering, balm-like boost of magic ingredients that your skin absorbs through the night so you can wake up to gorgeous, smoother, plumper looking skin by morning!
