Shop Night Moisturisers at Adore Beauty

Night moisturisers are formulated to work while you sleep, often richer than a day cream since they don't need to sit under makeup or SPF. Overnight, skin naturally loses more moisture through evaporation, so a well-formulated night cream is designed to help offset that and support the skin's barrier while you rest. Adore Beauty stocks night creams and moisturisers across a range of textures and ingredients, from lightweight gels to rich, nourishing creams, so you can find one suited to your skin type.

Choosing a Night Moisturiser for Your Skin

If you have oily or combination skin, a lightweight, oil-free night formula can hydrate without clogging pores or feeling heavy by morning. Drier skin types tend to do better with a richer cream that replenishes moisture lost overnight, especially through the cooler months when skin can feel tighter or flakier. Many night moisturisers are built around ingredients like ceramides, peptides or antioxidants, which support the skin barrier while you sleep rather than just sitting on the surface. If you use an active ingredient like retinol as part of your evening routine, look for a night moisturiser that's specifically designed to layer well with it, rather than assuming any rich cream will do.

Popular Night Moisturisers

The CeraVe Skin Renewing Peptide Cream is built to lock in moisture and support the skin's natural barrier overnight, for smoother, plumper-looking skin by morning. The Ole Henriksen Strength Trainer Peptide Boost Moisturiser uses a fast-absorbing texture to target the look of fine lines, dryness and loss of firmness, making it a good option if you want a night step that layers easily under other products. If you prefer to build retinol into your night step, the Medik8 Night Ritual Vitamin A Age-Defying Retinol Cream and the Murad Resurgence Retinol Youth Renewal Night Cream are both worth a look, while the Weleda Skin Food Nourishing Night Cream is a good fit for drier skin types.

Fitting a Night Moisturiser Into Your Routine

Apply your night moisturiser as the last step of your evening skincare routine, after cleansing and any serums or treatments, giving each product a moment to absorb before layering the next. If you use a retinol or other active ingredient at night, applying your moisturiser afterward can help buffer the skin and reduce irritation.
