Night Routine
Repair, restore, and wake up to better skin.
The night routine is where the most meaningful skincare work happens. While you sleep, skin shifts into repair mode — increasing blood flow, producing collagen, and regenerating cells faster than during the day. The right routine supports and amplifies this natural process.
Routine purpose
Why this routine.
The night routine is focused on repair and treatment rather than protection. Without the need for SPF, you can use more potent actives — retinoids, acids, richer moisturisers — that work with the skin's natural overnight regeneration cycle.
Maximised treatment efficacy
Night is when potent actives can do their best work — skin is not preparing for UV exposure, so it can focus on repair.
Deep overnight hydration
Richer night creams and sleeping masks provide an extended window of hydration that daytime products cannot.
Compounding improvement over time
Consistent nightly use of treatment actives produces measurable improvement in 4–12 weeks depending on the active.

Layering guide
How to layer this routine.
Double cleanse if you wore SPF or makeup
Oil-based cleansers dissolve SPF and makeup more effectively than water-based ones. A second cleanse then actually cleanses the skin.
Apply actives on dry skin for gentler effect, damp for faster absorption
Wet skin allows actives to penetrate faster — useful for experienced users. Dry skin slows absorption and reduces potential irritation — better for beginners.
Wait 10 minutes after retinol before moisturising
This allows retinol to begin binding to receptors before an occlusive layer slows its penetration. Some people prefer the "sandwich method" — moisturiser, retinol, moisturiser — which is also valid if irritation is a concern.
No mixing AHAs with retinol on the same evening
Both increase cell turnover and sensitivity. Using them on alternate evenings prevents over-exfoliation.
Ingredient synergy
Why these ingredients work together.
Each pairing in this routine is intentional. Understanding why helps you get the most from every product.
Lifestyle
Supporting your routine.
- ✓
Change your pillowcase 2–3 times per week — it collects oil, dead cells, and product residue.
- ✓
Apply the routine at least 20 minutes before sleeping so products absorb before contact with the pillow.
- ✓
If you wake with dry, tight skin, try a slightly richer night cream or add a sleeping mask once or twice weekly.
- ✓
Silk or satin pillowcases cause less friction and may reduce overnight moisture loss.
Weekly additions
Once or twice a week.
Retinol (2–3x)
AHA exfoliant (1–2x)
Hydrating sleeping mask (1x)
