Hydrating and nourishing creams are the sealing step in your facial routine: they lock in moisture, reinforce the skin barrier and protect the skin against external aggressors.

Day cream vs. night cream

Day creams tend to have lighter textures, antioxidants (vitamin C, E) and sometimes built-in SPF, although we always recommend a separate dedicated sunscreen. Night creams tend to be more nourishing and may include potent reparative actives such as retinol or peptides, since the skin regenerates during sleep.

Cream by skin type

• For dry skin: nourishing creams with ceramides and butters.
• For oily skin: gel textures or oil-free fluids.
• For mature skin: anti-aging creams with peptides and retinol.
• For sensitive skin: minimalist, fragrance-free formulas.

Order in your facial routine

Always apply cream after your toner and serum. Don't forget to extend the cream down to your neck and décolletage: these areas age quickly and are often overlooked. Discover the facial creams from Summe Cosmetics and Lalola Skincare.
