Frequently Asked Questions
What's better, night cream or night serum?
The decision depends on your individual skin needs. Serums contain higher concentrated active ingredients for specific skin concerns, while night creams strengthen the skin barrier and lock in moisture. Learn more about optimal night care in our article Radiantly Beautiful Skin Overnight.
Why not use a night cream?
For oily or acne-prone skin, a rich night cream can clog pores. In these cases, a light serum or gel is the better choice. We also recommend lighter textures in high temperatures or already oily-shiny skin.
Do you need a serum and a night cream?
A combination can be very effective. The serum treats specific skin concerns, while the night cream locks in these active ingredients. The most important rule: work from light to rich.
What does the skin need at night?
- Regenerative active ingredients for cell renewal
- Adequate moisture against dehydration
- Antioxidants for cell protection
- Nourishing lipids for the skin barrier
- Soothing ingredients for regeneration
Do serums work better than creams?
Serums have a higher concentration of active ingredients and smaller molecules that penetrate deeper. However, they are not a substitute for a cream, but a meaningful complement. Visit our Serum Collection for targeted treatments.
What serums for mature skin?
Mature skin particularly benefits from:
- Peptide serums for collagen building
- Retinol serums for cell renewal
- Hyaluronic acid for moisture
- Antioxidant serums for cell protection
How many serums can you use?
Use a maximum of 2-3 different serums in your routine. Important is:
- Check active ingredient compatibility
- Observe absorption time
- Apply according to consistency
- Don't mix all active ingredients
Optimal Application
| Time | Product | Important Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 8:00-9:00 pm | Cleansing | Thorough but gentle |
| 9:00-9:30 pm | Serum | Allow to fully absorb |
| 9:30-10:00 pm | Night Cream | Gently massage in |
