FAQ's

What is the best night skincare routine for anti-ageing?
The best anti-ageing night skincare routine includes cleansing, applying a serum, using an eye cream, and finishing with a night cream. This simple order helps remove impurities, support hydration, care for the eye area, and leave mature skin feeling nourished overnight.

What order should I apply anti-ageing products at night?

Is night cream important for mature skin?

Key ingredients in this Night skincare routine

A good night skincare routine combines ingredients that hydrate, smooth, comfort and refresh the look of the skin. In the Age Perfect Cell Renew routine, these ingredients work across the serum, eye cream and night cream steps to support mature skin overnight.

Hyaluronic acid

Hyaluronic acid is a humectant, meaning it helps attract and retain water in the skin. In a night routine, it helps skin feel hydrated and can leave the complexion looking smoother and plumper by morning.

Black truffle extract

Black truffle extract is one of the signature ingredients in the Age Perfect Cell Renew range. It is included in formulas designed to support mature skin that may look tired, dull or less radiant over time.

Fermented black tea

Fermented black tea is used in the range for its antioxidant properties. In a night routine, antioxidant ingredients help support skin exposed to daily environmental stressors, contributing to a fresher and more revitalised-looking complexion.

Adenosine

Adenosine is used in skincare for its anti-ageing relevance, especially in formulas designed to target the look of wrinkles and loss of smoothness. It helps make the serum step particularly relevant in an anti-ageing night routine.

LHA

LHA, also known as capryloyl salicylic acid, is a gentle exfoliating ingredient that helps support skin surface renewal. It is especially useful in routines for skin that looks dull, uneven or less smooth.

Caffeine

Caffeine is most relevant for the eye-care step. It is commonly used in eye creams to help reduce the look of puffiness and tired-looking eyes, making it useful in a routine focused on a more rested appearance.

What does the Science Say About Night Skincare?

At night, the skin is not exposed to the same level of UV light, pollution, and daily environmental stressors, making it a good time to focus on hydration, comfort, and visible skin renewal. [1] Ingredients such as hyaluronic acid help attract and hold water in the skin, supporting a plumper and smoother-looking appearance. [2] Antioxidants can help protect against oxidative stress, which is linked to visible signs of ageing, while moisturising creams help support the skin barrier and reduce the feeling of dryness overnight.
