Nattkrämer

Nattkrämer, or night creams, are skincare products designed for application before sleep. Their formulation typically differs from daytime moisturizers, often featuring richer textures and a higher concentration of active ingredients. The skin's natural repair processes are believed to be more active during the night, making this a key time for restorative skincare.

These creams are formulated to hydrate the skin, replenish lost moisture, and support the skin's renewal cycle. Common ingredients found in nattkrämer include hyaluronic acid for hydration, retinol and peptides for anti-aging benefits, ceramides to strengthen the skin barrier, and antioxidants to combat environmental damage. Some nattkrämer are specifically targeted towards concerns like dryness, fine lines, wrinkles, or uneven skin tone.

The application of a nattkräm is usually the last step in an evening skincare routine, applied after cleansing and any targeted treatments like serums. Due to their potentially richer formulations, some nattkrämer may feel heavier than daytime moisturizers and are designed to be absorbed over several hours. The effectiveness of a nattkräm can depend on individual skin type, concerns, and consistent use as part of a regular skincare regimen.
