As you are sleeping, your skin is repairing itself from environmental damage incurred in the day (think UV exposure, allergens or pollutants) – which is why it is important to choose the right nighttime products to help boost your skin as it regenerates new cells. To achieve a more radiant and youthful-looking complexion, consider adding these rejuvenating elixirs to your routine.

Bio-Performance Skin Filler, $440, Shiseido

1/3

Using the brand’s signature Molecushift technology, which “shrinks” hyaluronic acid molecules so they are better absorbed by skin, this two-serum product refines your appearance on a molecular level. Apply the Infill Serum at night to deliver hyaluronic acid deep into skin. In the morning, follow up with the Full Expansion Serum, which “expands” the hyaluronic acid molecules back to their original size. This creates a moisture-retaining layer that gives your skin a more “lifted” look.

Global-Repair Baume, $172, Filorga

2/3

This cream is jam-packed with botanical oils such as camellia oil, which is incredibly nourishing for skin, and evening primrose oil, which moisturises and softens skin. Its non-greasy, lightweight texture means you’ll feel comfortable while you’re asleep.

Dewtopia 5% Acid Firming Night Creme, $86, Ole Henriksen

3/3

This night cream is said to improve skin elasticity in just one week. Fortified with 5 per cent AHAs and edelweiss stem cell for deep hydration, it also contains glycolic and lactic acids to reduce the look of fine lines, wrinkles and dark spots. While you’re asleep, Dewtopia exfoliates the surface layer of your skin gently, and intensely hydrates it. The result: brighter, softer skin.
