Yuza Sorbet Night cream, Erborian
Tested by BeautyHack Editor-in-Chief Karina Andreeva
I tested the night cream sorbet with the texture of the emulsion after I returned home at 6 am from the plane, went to bed, and after a couple of hours I had to get up. While I was trying to gain strength, the product reanimated the skin, soothed it and moisturized it. It was absorbed in the first minutes after application without a greasy film - and there were no unpleasant marks left on the pillow. But in the morning in the mirror I saw a healthy complexion, nourished skin and not a single hint of lack of sleep. It contains a powerful antioxidant Japanese lemon Yuzu, green plum (activates microcirculation), licorice (has an anti-inflammatory effect), soy and rice proteins (deep nutrition and hydration, as well as activation of collagen and elastin synthesis).

Cream Anti-Stress Treatment Night Moisturizing Cream, Eisenberg
Tested by BeautyHack Editor-in-Chief Karina Andreeva
In the package, the product resembles a creamy ice cream: almost hard, rich in texture - you can barely lift the lid. I am not a fan of oily creams - yes, they are great for moisturizing and nourishing the skin, but they are absorbed for so long that it is simply impossible to wait. And this is not so bad - they often get dirty on everything in the world.
But a miracle happened to Eisenberg! The skin eagerly and without residue "ate" the product in a matter of minutes, and no traces of the cream on the pillow were noticed in the morning. But a fresh look and moisturized and nourished skin after a busy work week on Friday morning was just what could be needed. The remedy worked like a real anti-stress - "spa" at home: it contains shea butter and bisabolol, which relax and soothe the skin. I am sure that the cream will help me out more than once when the early autumn passes and the cold comes!

Night Elixir "Instant Skin Reboot", L'Occitane
Tested by BeautyHack Senior Editor Anastasia Speranskaya
When the morning reflection in the mirror does not please (especially at the end of a very difficult week), you just want to reset everything and instantly transform. If earlier I thought that only Cinderella deserved such miracles, now I am convinced that anyone can become a beauty in the morning, and this does not require fairies, pumpkins, or crystal shoes (Manolo Blahnik will also do).
Does Immortelle Reset Night Elixir promise to restore skin in just one night? Check it out! I applied it on cleansed skin in the evening, but first, of course, I admired the golden tints in a bottle - inside hundreds of granules with immortelle essential oil, which actively fights against the signs of aging. The elixir melts on the skin - it is similar in texture to a mixture of serum and oil, but you will not feel greasy or sticky. I finished my beauty routine by applying a moisturizer, and in the morning I was pleasantly surprised - the skin was radiant, soft and smooth, and the tone became noticeably smoother. For this "thanks" to the extracts of acmella and marjoram - together they smooth wrinkles and start the recovery processes while you sleep.

Refreshing night care cream Iris, Weleda
Tested by BeautyHack Senior Editor Anastasia Speranskaya
I don't like oily day creams - after them the combination skin starts to shine treacherously. Therefore, I "come off" at night and choose the most nutritious means - let them work while I sleep. Oils, squalane creams, and now Weleda's iris night cream are also used.
In terms of texture, the product looks more like an ointment - at first you are afraid if this will be too much for the fat-prone T-zone. After a couple of applications, I came up with an ideal "formula": I squeeze a pea of cream onto my hands, rub it lightly and apply it on my face with hammering movements (in general, I do everything the same as when applying oil). I personally did not feel freshness, but in the morning I noticed that the skin was smoothed out. The extracts of calendula and chamomile included in the composition relieve redness and inflammation, and the extract from the iris root noticeably tones the skin.

Night regenerating and soothing care Toleriane Ultra Nuit, La Roche-Posay
Tested by the special correspondent of Beautyhack Daria Mironova
I don't like products that need to be taken out of the jar with my fingers, so I try to choose creams with packaging, like La Roche-Posay: bacteria do not get into the cream, it does not dry out and does not oxidize.
The Toleraine series is designed for sensitive and allergy-prone skin of normal and combination types. Mine is oily in the T-zone and dry on the cheeks and cheekbones, so choosing a night remedy is difficult: it often clogs the pores. Ultra Nuit cream has a light consistency, absorbs quickly without leaving a greasy film and blackheads.
I love that this night care is fragrance-free. Plus, there are no plant extracts in it: the likelihood of getting allergies is minimized.
Price: 1 700 rub.
Absolute Recovery Night Cream, Swiss Image
Tested by BeautyHack SMM Manager Alexandra Grishina
Alpine glacier melt water, Swiss herbal extracts, vitamins and nano-complexes patented by the scientific department are all components of Swiss Image products.
The Absolute Recovery night cream is designed to intensively moisturize the skin, saturate it with minerals and nutrients, and restore protective functions. And all this in one night! The main "hard workers" in the composition: shea butter, which is responsible for stimulating collagen and regeneration, cocoa butter, which repairs damaged cells, almond oil, which improves skin color. According to the age category, the cream is suitable for women 25-35 years old.
The product has a comfortable texture - it is perfectly applied, absorbs quickly and does not leave a film or stickiness. In the morning there is no feeling of tightness and dryness. The cream really copes with the signs of fatigue and stress overnight. But I have not yet noticed the declared increased elasticity (I use the cream for 10 days) - let's see the dynamics in a month!
Price: 380 rub.
Renight nourishing multivitamin oil, [comfort zone]
Tested by BeautyHack SMM Manager Alexandra Grishina
My love for [comfort zone] began when I joined BeautyHack. The brand was created and produced in Italy by the Davines research laboratory since 1993.
There are two products in the Renight line - a night cream and a nourishing oil. I'll tell you about the latter. Many (especially those with oily skin) try to avoid oily textures. But I will dispel your doubts. I, the owner of this type of skin, willingly use night oils and am happy!
Proof - nourishing oil with vitamins from comfort zone. Softens and nourishes, does not stick, does not leave greasy marks and fulfills all the promises stated by the manufacturer. A handy pipette allows you to apply the right amount of product to your skin - nothing more, nothing less! 2-3 drops of oil on your hand, then warm the product in your palms and apply on the face, neck and décolleté with hammering movements - in the morning you will see nourished and fresh face skin. The oil can be used alone or under the main night care in the form of a cream or serum.
The composition contains no silicones and 97.5% of ingredients of absolutely natural origin: goji berry oil (which, together with vitamin E, gives a powerful antioxidant effect), macadamia and jojoba oils provide hydration throughout the night.
Price: 6 050 rub.
Pomegranate night cream-lifting Straffende Nachtpflege, Weleda
Tested by BeautyHack editor Julia Kozoliy
I love Weleda for its loyalty to traditions (the history of the brand began in 1921) and a relatively small range of products - you won't get lost! For example, there are only four night creams, and each of them focuses on a specific component: iris, rose, almond or pomegranate. It's easy to figure it out. I choose creams according to season, density and mood.
This fall I will use a night cream with pomegranate seed oils! The product is not dense, even liquidish, it is not absorbed immediately, but it does not remain on the skin with a sticky layer until morning. I can't judge how the cream copes with the anti-aging task, but it satisfies the skin's daily nutritional needs by 5+: it softens and visually refreshes the face.
Price: 1 870 rub.
Night renewing cream-balm for skin perfection NovAge True Perfection, Oriflame
Tested by BeautyHack editor Julia Kozoliy
The genius of network marketing, the Swedish company Oriflame is still incredibly popular in the CIS countries and continues to cultivate consultants around the world: in 2009 there were already 3 million of them. The range of the brand is also growing exponentially, and this makes it even more fun to test new products.
Night cream from the NovAge series, aimed at working with the first signs of aging, has a lightening consistency and is instantly absorbed. I started using the product back in the summer and in the morning I woke up with absolutely dry skin, although I usually run to wash off almost all nighttime products - they literally remain a film on my face. The cream will also be good in the heating season: it moisturizes in moderation, removes signs of fatigue and refreshes the color - what you need in autumn and winter! The composition contains glycolic acid, which works as a very delicate peeling, exfoliating dead particles - hence the incredible feeling of smoothness in the morning!
Price: 919 rub.
Rich cream "Intensive moisturizing 48 hours" Hydra Vegetal, Yves Rocher
Tested by BeautyHack editor Julia Kozoliy
I love the rich, scented shower gels and body creams from Yves Rocher, from sweet vanilla to juicy pomegranate. But I choose strictly neutral creams for the face - in this regard, the Hydra Vegetal series has no competitors. The main component of all products is edulis cell water extract. Its task is to continuously moisturize the skin while the cream is on it (hence the inscription "48H" on the package).
The product feels like a delicate soufflé with a completely neutral scent and a refreshing finish on the skin. Due to its light consistency, the cream is suitable for day and night use, which is especially convenient if you are not a fanatical beautician or young enough and do not bother separating funds into day and night (it happened to everyone, didn't it)!
Price: 719 rub.
Revitalizing night cream and mask Slow Age, Vichy
Tested by BeautyHack editor Daria Sizova
The drug of the pharmacy brand entered the market four months ago, and my colleagues managed to get to know it before me (you can read their impressions here). I really love such "universal" products, but I make high demands on them: very few people manage to simultaneously restore, nourish, moisturize and refresh the skin.
But with this remedy everything is different - with the restoration of the skin of the face in one night it coped with 5 out of 5. The consistency of the cream resembles a thick jelly of the color of buckwheat honey. But he has an unobtrusive, pleasant smell, and the product lays down on the skin with a light pleasant balm - you get a double pleasure. The name justifies itself - the tool really pauses time, preventing the first age-related changes. But this effect is cumulative, and you can only notice it with regular use.
But every morning I see that the product works - the skin becomes soft and smooth, and redness and flaking disappear without a trace. The product is hypoallergenic - suitable for girls even with very sensitive skin. The formula of the cream also inspires confidence - thanks to the active components, the cells are saturated with oxygen. The special antioxidant Baicalin helps fight the oxidation processes of the skin (and this happens to us every day - you just need to go outside).
Price: 2 182 rub.
Anti-aging cream Omega 3, 6, 9 "Anti-age recovery", Omegaderm
Tested by BeautyHack editorial assistant Anya Khobotova
Omegaderm is a brand of selective cosmetics with the famous acids Omega 3, 6, 9. All products are designed in the same style: gold and black dominate among the colors - instantly attracts attention!
The cream behaves perfectly: it spreads easily on the skin, is absorbed, no grease or film. In addition to the cherished acids, the composition contains vitamin A (fights the first signs of age-related changes), a complex of elastin with collagen Elastin (increases skin elasticity), Hyacare complex (anti-age moisturizer, a source of hyaluronic acid, regenerates the skin, reducing the depth and severity of wrinkles). After two weeks of use, I noticed that the skin became lighter and fresher, fine wrinkles did not go away, but in these matters you should not rely on the cream.
And the cream dispenser is also excellent - it gives out exactly as much product as needed!
Price: 620 rub.
Revitalizing night face cream, Himalaya Нerbals
Tested by BeautyHack editorial assistant Anya Khobotova
Since 1930, the Himalaya brand has been producing cosmetics in India using an impressive amount of natural ingredients. All products are made only according to the principle of Ayurveda (all selected components enhance each other's action).
The night cream has a thick consistency, but it spreads easily on the skin and is not absorbed instantly, but quickly for a product of this density. The main stars of the composition are: lily extract (has emollient, astringent and anti-inflammatory properties), and tomato (source of vitamin C).
I made it a rule to apply the product every evening: in the morning, the skin is soft and rested, as if you had already washed and applied day cream.
Price: 540 rub.
Smart Lab Night Cream with Marine Collagen. Night Recharge, Vprove
Tested by BeautyHack editorial assistant Arina Zarudko
Oddly enough, my love for the Korean brand Vprove began with hair products. Only later did I find out that the brand is also known for creams. Smart Lab. Now I use Night Recharge every day before going to bed. It has a not dense (read "comfortable") texture and an impressive composition: aloe juice, which soothes and relieves irritation, and hydrolyzed marine collagen, which is responsible for smoothing wrinkles. I am not at war with wrinkles yet, but here is what I noticed when applying the cream regularly: it moisturizes dry skin areas well, and also removes dead skin cells, opening access to oxygen and moisture. Girls with mixed skin types, take note!
Price: 1 950 rub.
Bio-reinforcing anti-aging night cream for face, neck and décolleté Mezolux, Librederm
Tested by BeautyHack editorial assistant Arina Zarudko
The Librederm brand positions itself as a cosmeceutical and proudly holds the title of one of the most progressive in Russia (for example, here we talked about their patches with microneedles with hyaluronic acid). Before creating an anti-aging night cream, the brand's researchers studied an injectable rejuvenating procedure for skin bio-reinforcement (it is aimed at restoring the collagen-elastin framework, improving microrelief and tightening facial contours), enclosing the most effective components of injectables in a tube.
I did not notice oily sheen and allergic reactions after application, only rested and glowing skin! With long-term use, they promise to get rid of ptosis and wrinkles - while I can afford to rely on the cream, but if you have serious age-related changes, feel free to go to a doctor's consultation, armed with a gold bottle!
Price: 2 850 rub.
Night revitalizing serum Skin Treatment Ex, Cefine
Tested by BeautyHack Editor Natalia Kapitsa
Until the age of 25, I and skin care were incompatible concepts: cleansing is the only stage that I have never ignored. Having crossed the thirty-year mark and joined the society of “not young, but still beautiful,” face serums appeared on the shelf - I don't want to see wrinkles before forty. The "first night" right went to the night remedy from Cefine.
All lines of the Japanese brand are made on the basis of medicinal plants. His main philosophy is to combine the experience of the past with the possibilities of the present. The owner of the brand, cosmetologist Mineko Nishida, is sure: plants have a strong energy and therefore are able to work wonders. Judging by the effect after a week of using Skin Treatment Ex, Ms. Mineko is 100% right. The product with a rich vitamin composition (A, P, E), coesime Q10, creatine in nanocapsules does the impossible: it gives the skin radiance, making it more elastic. For skeptics: serum improves blood microcirculation - this cannot but work. Of course, she will not cope with deep "age" wrinkles, but with small "crow's feet" - one left.
The product has a light texture and almost no smell. A separate "thank you" for the normalization of the activity of the sebaceous glands - after two weeks of daily use, the face shines less.
Among the ingredients I found aloe extract, hyaluronic acid, squalene, hydrolyzed silk, chlorella extract and much more interesting - it seems that just reading the composition you start to look younger (just kidding). In the "team" they work for 5+.
Price: 8 650 rub.
