(Day creams and night creams aren't a gimmick)

They're distinct skin care products that have different benefits. Day creams are lightweight and focus primarily on brightening your complexion, maintaining hydration and protecting your skin from sun and other environmental damage. Night creams are much thicker. The result? They deliver more moisture, reduce damage and soothe any irritation you may be experiencing.
