Day Creams

What does a day cream do?

A day cream (or daytime moisturizer) hydrates and protects the skin throughout the day. These formulas are designed to sit comfortably under makeup while delivering essential moisture, smoothing the skin’s surface, and strengthening the skin barrier. 

What’s the difference between day and night face cream?

The main difference lies in their purpose and ingredients. A day face cream focuses on hydration, protection, and prep. It’s often lightweight, fast-absorbing, and enriched with antioxidants or SPF for daily defense. Night creams, on the other hand, are typically richer and more restorative. They support the skin’s natural nighttime repair process with ingredients like retinol, peptides, and ceramides. Think of day cream as your shield and night cream as your renewal treatment.

Are day creams different from moisturizers?

While all day creams are moisturizers, not all moisturizers are formulated for daytime use. A daytime moisturizer is specifically crafted to work under makeup, feel lightweight, and protect against external aggressors. A general moisturizer may be heavier or more treatment-focused, making it better suited for nighttime. Choosing a dedicated day cream ensures your skin gets the right type of hydration and protection when it needs it most.

What is the best day cream for older skin?

The best day cream for older skin combines intensive hydration with targeted anti-aging benefits. Advanced Ceramide Lift and Firm Day Cream is a fast-absorbing gel cream that replenishes what skin needs but loses over time. It offers visibly lifted, firmer and more defined facial contours in just one week.
