Rating of night creams and serums for face 2020

Sleep is the best medicine. It is during sleep that our body rests and gains strength, and facial skin is no exception. Cosmetologists have proven that for better protection and deep nourishment, you need to use products specially made for night application. Night creams and serums have a denser texture than daytime ones, and therefore have a pronounced effect on the skin of the face.

There are many manufacturers of balms and creams, both foreign and Russian, with different properties and compositions. And this article will help you make the right choice of a night care cream or serum.

The value of night creams and serums

For the best choice of cream and serum that is right for your skin type, you need to know general information about facial skin care products. Why do you need to use the night type of balms before bedtime, what is the difference between the daytime composition and the nighttime one?

Beauty experts claim that the dermis lives for a certain time and, accordingly, special care is needed for each period. Day creams are designed to moisturize the face and must have a protective function against environmental influences. Night foods help the body restore lost substances and remove negative effects. During sleep, daytime agents will not be able to cope with the recovery function or will have a slight effect, in nighttime - the concentration of nutrients is higher, which gives a positive and tangible result during long-term use.

The difference between night cream and serum

The difference between night remedies is insignificant, in practice, creams and serums have the same composition. The serum contains a large concentration of active components: various types of fruit acids, AHA, BHA - the percentage of acid content is up to 40% higher than in the cream. That is why it is effective to use a serum, since the concentration of certain elements allows it to penetrate the skin faster and have a noticeable effect on problem areas. The composition of the cream is less filled with active substances, it has the same effect as the serum, but for a longer time.
