Why does my skin need special night care?
While we sleep, important regeneration processes take place in our skin. The skin renews itself continuously, recovers from the day’s stresses and needs enough moisture and lipids to maintain its natural protective barrier. At the same time, skin can lose moisture, especially at night. A high-quality night cream helps counteract this moisture loss and provides intensive care.
Unlike a day cream, which often focuses on protection from UV radiation and external environmental influences, an anti-aging night cream focuses on moisture, the skin barrier and care for visible signs of aging. Ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, phosphatidylcholine, peptides and antioxidants can help plump dryness lines, support skin elasticity and improve the complexion.
Targeted night care is especially useful for dry, mature or demanding skin. Our night creams from DOC BERGER EFFECT combine high-quality lipids with innovative anti-aging ingredients – for supple, intensively cared-for skin that looks more rested in the morning.
The Perfect Evening Routine: In What Order Should I Apply My Skincare?
An effective evening skincare routine begins with thorough facial cleansing and ends with a night cream suited to your skin type. Applying each product in the right order is key so they complement each other optimally.
1. Cleanse Your Face with a Cleansing Foam
Start your evening routine with one of our cleansing foams. Foam Sensitive is especially suitable for dry and sensitive skin, while Foam Intense with AHA and BHA acids clarifies normal, oily and blemish-prone skin. Cleansing removes excess sebum, dirt and makeup residue and prepares your skin for the care that follows.
2. Use a Facial Toner to Clarify and Prepare
Then use one of our facial toners. Tonic Sensitive moisturizes sensitive and dry skin, while Tonic Intense with exfoliating acids supports a more refined complexion. This complements facial cleansing and prepares your skin for active-ingredient care.
3. Apply a Facial Serum for Your Individual Skin Needs
Next come the facial serums. For evening anti-aging care, we particularly recommend our Platinum Elixir, the exclusive longevity serum with platinum, Clarivine™ and lycopene. The high-quality combination of active ingredients supports skin quality and helps counteract visible signs of aging.
For dark spots, post-acne marks or blemishes, the Purifying Power Serum with tranexamic acid and Azeloglicina® is an ideal addition to your evening routine.
4. Use a Retinol Serum for Wrinkles and Skin Aging
A retinol serum can be a targeted addition to your evening skincare routine. Retinol supports natural skin renewal, may promote collagen synthesis and improve the appearance of wrinkles, dark spots and blemishes.
- Retinol Sensitive is especially suitable for beginners and more sensitive skin.
- Retinol Intense is designed for skin accustomed to retinol and more intensive anti-aging care.
When starting retinol, use it on 2–3 evenings per week and increase the frequency according to your skin’s tolerance. On sensitive skin, retinol and other highly active products should initially be used on different evenings.
5. Finish with a Night Cream
To finish your evening routine, apply a high-quality night cream to your face, neck and décolletage. Our Time Machine offers innovative anti-aging care for visible wrinkles and declining firmness. The Ultra Rich Night Cream is especially suitable for dry, sensitive and demanding skin that needs intensive lipids and moisture.
Tip: For a comprehensive skincare routine, you can also use our Lifting Eye Wonder morning and evening. This specialized eye care is applied after serums and before your final face cream.
