Day Cream vs. Night Cream: What’s the Difference?

Moisturising isn't just a step in your skin care routine; it's a foundation for healthy, radiant skin. At Elizabeth Arden, we understand that every aspect of your skin care regimen plays a pivotal role in achieving that timeless elegance and youthful spirit. Today, we delve into an essential skin care debate: day cream vs. night cream. Why do we need both, and what makes them distinct and indispensable?

How Moisturisers Work

Moisturiser are more than just creams; they're your skin's best ally against dehydration and external aggressors. They work by either sealing moisture in your skin, attracting moisture from the environment, or replenishing your skin's natural moisturising factors. The science of skin hydration is fascinating, revealing how a well-formulated moisturiser can not only prevent water loss but also bolster the skin's natural defence mechanisms.

The Role of Day Creams

Day creams are designed to protect and nourish your skin from the moment you step out the door. With a lighter texture, they're perfect for layering under makeup, offering hydration without the heaviness. Essential components of day creams include SPF to defend against the sun's harmful rays and antioxidants to combat environmental pollutants. Our Elizabeth Arden Prevage® Anti-Aging Moisture Cream with Sunscreens provides innovative, protective skincare, blending luxurious hydration with powerful sun protection.

The Role of Night Creams

As you rest, your skin gets to work, repairing and regenerating itself. Night creams are crafted to support this natural process, offering a richer formula that deeply hydrates and treats the skin. Ingredients like retinol target signs of ageing, refining texture and promoting a luminous complexion. The Elizabeth Arden Ceramide Lift and Firm Night Cream offers science-backed, age-defying skin care, providing intensive overnight hydration for a firmer, smoother appearance by morning.

Differences Between Day and Night Creams

The primary distinction lies in their formulation and purpose. Day creams guard against UV damage and pollution, while night creams focus on recovery and rejuvenation. Using both in your skin care regimen ensures round-the-clock care, addressing different needs at the optimal times.
