When it comes to skincare, timing truly matters and there’s a reason why beauty experts often recommend applying serums at night. While we sleep, our bodies enter a reparative and regenerative state, and our skin is no exception. This is the prime time for skin to heal, renew, and absorb the powerful ingredients found in your favorite serums.

Why Nighttime is Prime Time for Serums

During the night, the skin’s metabolic activity naturally increases. This boost in cellular activity enhances the skin’s ability to absorb and make the most of concentrated actives like retinoids, peptides, and antioxidants. Plus, without daytime environmental stressors—like UV rays, pollution, and free radicals—serums can work undisturbed, reaching deeper layers of the skin.

Another reason to save your serums for after sunset? Many ingredients commonly found in serums, such as retinol and alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs), can make skin more sensitive to sunlight. Applying them at night minimizes this risk while maximizing their benefits.

Choosing the Right Nighttime Serum

Not all serums are created equal. Here’s how to choose the right one based on your skin’s nighttime needs:

✨ BHA Serum

Formulated with beta hydroxy acid, these serums help increase cellular turnover, stimulate collagen production, and reduce the appearance of fine lines, acne, and hyperpigmentation. Ideal for those targeting breakouts or uneven skin texture.

✨ Peptide Serum

Multi-peptide formulas support the skin’s structural integrity by enhancing elasticity and firmness. Perfect for aging or tired-looking skin, these serums encourage a more youthful, lifted appearance.

✨ Hydrating Serums

Our Hyaluronic Serum delivers deep hydration by drawing moisture into the skin an essential step as skin loses water overnight. Wake up with a plump, dewy glow.

Our Eye Repair Night Serum is a nutrient-rich treatment made with organic, cold-pressed oils. Designed for overnight use, it deeply hydrates and delivers antioxidants to the delicate skin around the eyes, helping soften and smooth fine lines. You can also apply it around the lips for extra care.

The Bottom Line
