Best night creams of 2025 for overnight glow
by Kristina Mikulić GazdovićDecember 30, 2025
This was the year I introduced a night cream into my routine. Loss of elasticity became particularly noticeable around the jawline and chin, and applying setting powder would further accentuate fine lines around my eyes. Alongside classic solutions such as peptide and retinol serums, I added night creams and soon realized that a night cream can work like a magic wand for the skin.
As the body naturally regenerates at night, many popular night cream formulas are designed to enhance this process. Night care has thus become my favorite ritual, one that transforms the skin while I sleep. From lightweight textures that soothe and hydrate to rich creams that fill in wrinkles, each formula has its own purpose. What impressed me most is that night creams not only repair and smooth the skin, but also protect it from external factors that accelerate aging. From luxury brands like Chanel and Sisley to affordable drugstore favorites, the selection is diverse, making it easy for everyone to find their ideal formula.
This year, night cream became more than just a hydration step for me. Waking up with skin that looks more rested, smoother, and more radiant than the morning before is a truly special feeling. If you are thinking about introducing a night cream into your routine, here are some of the most powerful formulas with truly innovative ingredients that will make your skin firmer, smoother, and more beautiful, night after night.
