I’m looking for a good nighttime facial moisturizer. I’m almost 50 and have combination skin. Also need something to help with my crepey skin under my eyes. What are you using?

Technically you don't really need a specific night time cream unless your day time one has an SPF. They tend to be heavier/thicker and may contain a little more active ingredients but your skin can only repair so much and mostly it's just advertising and labelling. You might like to try and oil in the evening - it doesn't hydrate so you still need a good daytime moisturiser but I like oil at night these days.

I use Fresh Black Tea Firming Overnight Mask. I have always had very dry skin, and it's only worsened as I age. My skin appreciates the thickness and hydration of this moisturizer. That said, I'll be watching this thread closely as my skin really suffers during the cooler months. I eep thinking that I really need to start seeing an esthetician. Well actually, I should have started decades ago to be honest.

I like the Cerave PM moisturizer a lot. I actually use this in the AM too, followed by a separate sunscreen.
I also keep Vanicream around for extra dry areas and have been using it under my eyes lately.

This is the one I was going to suggest, it makes my skin feel like a dream and I love the way it smells. But it does have Vit-C so keep that in mind if you use other actives at night. My skin isn’t super dry though, those that have that may want to consider an occlusive moisturizer to really hold the moisture in. |

I rotate moisturizers based on how my skin feels. At night I like Kiehl's Ultra Facial Moisturizing Cream, Clinique Moisture Surge night mask (this can be left on all night and I do that a lot in the winter), Belief Aqua Cream, Cosrx advanced snail all in one moisturizer (not as moisturizing but good for me in the summer). I haven't had any for awhile but I love Josie Maran whipped argan facial cream. I might buy some again this winter since I am almost done with my others (was working through a bunch of small sizes of products). I have fickle skin when it comes to what I can wear under makeup so usually wear something lighter during the day.

Ok, I just ordered this and a few other trial sized products since the YTTP site has 25% off right now. Do you use this daily? If so, do you use other actives? Which ones can be used with this? I usually use Vitamin C in the morning (I'm out right now). |

I just wanted to see if there is anything better out there. |

I usually use Vitamin C in the morning (I'm out right now). No, not daily because I’m not that consistent right now and my skin doesn’t need it that often, though I should to get the full benefit of the Vit-C. I’m not taking great care of it right now so it’s oilier than it had been. Vitamin-C is counter-indicated against peptides if I’m remembering correctly, and something else I can’t remember. Let me go check my notes and get the source for you so I don’t tell you the wrong info. ETA: Okay here is one of the sources, the Deciem website. But what I had explains why and this doesn’t. I can’t find what I had so I will copy it here. It is several years old, which is why I was hoping to find the link for you in case anything has changed. |
