At night, skin goes into repair mode, making it the best time to support lifting and firming. Think of these night creams as at-home counterparts that help maintain the results of your lasers, radio-frequency and other energy-based treatments. With proven ingredients like retinal, peptides and antioxidants, they work overnight so skin looks smoother and feels more resilient by morning.
Filorga TIME-FILLER NIGHT 5XP ($98)
This French night cream is designed to tackle five different types of wrinkles. It pairs a smoothing tripeptide with hyaluronic acid to plump, samphire extract to refine texture and plant extracts for hydration. After a month of use, most testers noticed firmer, smoother skin.
Murad Retinal ReSculpt Overnight Cream ($98)
A step up from retinol, this cream contains encapsulated retinal, which helps improve sagging and deeper wrinkles with less irritation. It also includes an NAD+ complex that supports skin repair overnight, plus a lipid blend to prevent dryness.
No7 Future Renew Damage Reversal Night Cream ($26)
This drugstore pick is designed to repair everyday signs of skin damage while you sleep. It uses peptides to support skin’s renewal process, niacinamide to even tone and smooth texture and hyaluronic acid to keep skin hydrated. Shea butter and vitamin E add extra softness and protection. The lightweight cream absorbs quickly, making it a solid choice if you want an effective night cream without a heavy feel.
ANNEMARIE BÖRLIND System Absolute Regenerating Night Cream ($120)

Klotho Skin Cellular Repair Night Crème ($250)
Built around research into the “Klotho” gene (sometimes called the “longevity gene” because of its role in healthy cell function and repair), this formula aims to slow collagen breakdown while boosting elasticity. Aloe vera hydrates and squalane mimics natural oils to keep skin soft and balanced. It’s a heavier cream, ideal for skin that feels dry or fragile.
Medicube Collagen Overnight Wrapping Mask ($19)
This Korean mask forms a collagen “film” that works for up to eight hours while you sleep. It locks in hydration, boosts elasticity and peels off cleanly in one piece in the morning, leaving skin looking refreshed and dewy.
