Night Care

Skin is subject to oxidative stress on a daily basis. Outdoor and indoor pollution, and the harsh effects of the sun means that once the sun goes down, your skin needs a little soothing.

To do this, you should wash away the day's impurities before you apply your night face cream. Clarins' make-up removal range features a hydrating, milky make-up remover lotion, an eye make-up remover for stubborn waterproof eye make-up and a micellar water to gently cleanse skin on the face.

Once or twice a week, we recommend exfoliating your face and neck. After this crucial cleansing and purifying step, skin is ready to soak up the natural-origin active ingredients Clarins has selected for its night repair cream range. Once you fall asleep, skin is free to regenerate itself, just as the rest of your body and mind do.

Day creams tend to be lighter in texture so they are easily absorbed into the skin and work as a great base for make-up. Many day creams will include SPF to ensure your skin is protected during the daytime when you are exposed to UVA and UVB rays. On the other hand, a night cream tends to be thicker and richer to help restore the moisture that has been lost throughout the day. Typically, night creams will not contain SPF. For this reason, we recommend having both a day cream and night cream routine.

Your skin needs special care depending on your skin type and age. Clarins offers a range of products tailored to specific needs on the face, eye contour, lip, and neck areas. These work seamlessly alongside your day cream, night cream, face oil, ultra-concentrated serum, Double Serum, and all the other steps in your care routine, stimulating nocturnal cellular renewal. Our Clarins research team develops innovative lightweight and rich, silky and creamy textures, all infused with a delicate scent to envelop skin in softness and goodness - whatever your number-one beauty priority.

Each of our formulas owe their anti-wrinkle and anti-ageing effectiveness to extracts of plants selected with the greatest of care during our round-the-world beauty trips. Designed to be gentle on all skin types, from combination and normal to dry and sensitive, these products work like magic to fully regenerate the epidermis.

The Hydra-Essentiel range includes organic leaf of life to help trigger skin's natural hydration mechanisms, and stimulate hyaluronic acid production. Cells continue to hydrate and replenish themselves overnight.

Before you go to bed, apply a thick layer of the Hydra Essentiel Lip Balm. This works whilst you sleep to regenerate damaged, chapped lips. Combination and oily skin types will love our Lotus Treatment Oil in a formula that tightens pores and rebalances dehydrated skin. Apply in the evening as part of your night cream routine for satin-smooth skin and refined texture when you wake.

Pairing your day cream with a night cream can make for an unbeatable duo. Boost effectiveness by matching your Clarins night cream to your Clarins day cream from the same collection. Around the age of 30, fast-paced lifestyles can mean you start spotting your first fine lines and wrinkles. If your nights are short, stock up on all the vitamins and hydration you need with the Multi Active Night Cream for wrinkles that are visibly faded upon waking.

Around the age of 40 is when you start working towards restoring youth and glow. Thanks to its organic mitracarpus extract, the Extra Firming Night Cream helps boost collagen production for firmer skin. At 50, skin needs a cream designed to build density both day and night. The Super Restorative Multi-intensive Night Cream includes extract of organic harungana to continuously densify the skin.

Then, at 60 and beyond, skin is lacking in nutrients and becomes more sensitive and delicate as part of the ageing process. Boost light and youthful radiance with the innovative pro-ageing skin nutrition in the Nutri-Lumière Cream, which contains a rich duo of natural-origin active ingredients sourced from horse chestnut, which is renowned for its action on skin's micro-nutrient network, even if your nights are brief!

To brighten skin tone, restore glow, and fade age spots, apply the White Plus Brightening & Renewing Gel Mask before heading to bed. Get some well-deserved rest with peace of mind and let Clarins watch over your skin whilst you sleep.
