Best Moisturizing and Anti-Aging Night Creams for Dry Skin

Wake up to softer, glowier skin.

How many creams and moisturizers does your bathroom cabinet really need? Natural skin care products have grown more specialized as the competition grows tough, which we see as a good thing. Each product contains different ingredients that are beneficial for more skin types than others. It’s your chance to find something that really works for you. Do you wake up in the morning with tight-feeling skin, or dry patches everywhere? You might need a more heavy duty cream to apply before bedtime to keep your skin moisturized. Aging skin is associated with drier and more easily depleted skin. That’s why night creams will typically target both moisturizing and anti-aging. No matter your skin concerns, there’s the perfect night cream out there to suit your lifestyle and beauty goals. It’s time to really get your beauty sleep on with these hardworking night creams for dry skin.

Best night creams for dry skin

MOON FRUIT Superfruit Night Treatment from Herbivore
A deluxe nightly regimen that’s as luxurious as it looks! This rich night treatment is packed with nutrients from superfruits and fruit enzymes, while also ensures your skin feels deeply moisturized after a relaxing night of sleep. Kokum and shea butter work to lock in hydration, as well as antioxidants from prickly pear, goji berry, and red raspberry seed oil. It contains hyaluronic acid that delivers maximum hydration, so this night cream is a must-pick for dry skin types. Apply nightly, and wake up to a fresh, hydrating complexion with smoother texture.

Resveratrol Q10 Night Repair Cream from Andalou Naturals
If getting into a nightly anti-aging routine that’s still a pampering treatment is your skin care goal, this concentrated night repair cream is a great candidate. It contains ingredients that scream anti-aging benefits, such as fruit stem cells, CoQ10, goji glycopeptides, and even antioxidant-rich resveratrol. These powerful ingredients rest on a nourishing base of flaxseed oil and cocoa butter to deliver intense moisturizing and skin-softening benefits, as well as hydrating hyaluronic acid. Apply nightly on your clean face and neck, and enjoy velvety soft skin and a rejuvenated complexion.

Retinol Restorative Overnight Balm from 100% Pure
This overnight treatment contains only 9 ingredients, but each of them are premium nourishing skin foods, which means a super concentrated product overall. A deluxe base of avocado butter and organic sunflower seed oil ensures your skin rests prettily at night, warding your skin from dehydration and cracking. Enjoy the soothing fragrant scent of organic jasmine essential oil as you apply this treatment to your skin. Warm it between your hands, and a little will go a long way. Just remember to follow up the next day with a broad spectrum SPF, since the formula contains vegan retinol.

Moisture Restoring Night Cream from Sukin
Just as nourishing as Sukin’s Facial Moisturizer, but the difference is that it’s packed with heavier natural oils to keep moisture in your skin while you sleep (that’s another definition of a night cream if you were still wondering!). This formula achieves that dreamy soft texture thanks to a super blend of rosehip, jojoba oil, avocado, and shea butter. It also packs in essential fatty acid rich Vitamin E and borage to replenish your skin’s moisture back to balance for the long run. Just be sure to thoroughly message this cream in to promote maximum absorption. A must-have for a heavily depleted complexion that needs more love.

Vital Balm Cream from Josh Rosebrook
Have dry skin that’s prone to breakouts? This hydrating balm ensures your parched skin gets the nourishing it needs from Indian senna seed oil, often known as botanical hyaluronic acid, on a base of mango seed butter. It also contains a blend of oils that are beneficial for acne-prone skin, such as lightweight jojoba seed oil and olive oil. Sea buckthorn oil contains essential fatty acids that help repair your skin’s moisture barrier, ensuring a better hydrated complexion with less blemishes. It’s all about lavishing your skin with the right amount of balance.

Crème de la Cream Hydrating Face Cream from Fleur & Bee
Newsflash: you don’t have to shell out too much to get a high achieving moisturizing cream! This ultra creamy moisturizer gets the job done with ingredients you can trust, and at a more affordable price point. It boasts anti-aging vitamins such as Vitamin B3 and E that help smooth the appearance of wrinkles, as well as CoQ10 for protective benefits. Vitamin C targets dark spots and boosts the appearance of dewy skin. All on a nourishing base of sunflower seed oil and aloe that keep your skin soft, without that extra greasiness. That means this night cream doubles as a day cream that you can use in the morning too.

Adaptogen Deep Moisture Cream from Youth to the People
Ready to feed your skin with deep moisture packed with adaptogens? Let’s break down this buzzword into specific ingredients. Ashwagandha is an herb packed with antioxidants and amino acids, while reishi is a mushroom that helps your body reach homeostasis and balance. Finally, rhodiola is another adaptogenic herb that boosts your skin strength. So what you have is a super powerful mixture that protects your skin from daily stressors, while helping your skin recover overnight. This cream is richly moisturizing with shea butter and jojoba oil for nighttime use, but still lightweight enough to use for the daytime.

Jasmine Tangerine Age-Defying Night Cream from Eminence Organic Skin Care
A cutting-edge natural night cream with innovative ingredients that each serve a specific function. Grapeseed oil is a rich source of active bioflavonoids that replenish moisture while promoting a more youthful complexion. And as we mentioned previously, jojoba oil is an intensely hydrating ingredient that happens to be beneficial for oily skin too, since it’s known to have one of the best absorption rates on skin. We love that it also contains green tea extract for its powerful antioxidants that help repair skin from sun damage and has been shown to help prevent skin cancer. This robust night moisturizer is a hardworking formula that helps boost your look when you awaken.

When using a night cream, we always advise you to fully massage it into your skin in upward motions so you’re not dragging your skin down. This extra massage helps you relax for bedtime, and we even recommend meditating while you do this! It also serves the extra function of helping your skin absorb as much as possible of the rich treatment. With the addition of the important extra step of a night cream, you could be reducing your morning beauty routine by a few steps!
