A night cream can be a richer alternative to a regular moisturizer, with formulas often designed to support skin while you sleep. Some include ingredients intended to firm and plump, making them an option for people concerned about fine lines as well as dryness or dark spots.
There is no single formula for everyone: the best fit depends on individual skin type and needs. A night cream may suit some routines, while others may prefer to use a regular moisturizer.
