What it is
A night cream built around a specific claim - twelve hours of hydration - and a formulation that supports it. The hydration system is the interesting part: Xylitylglucoside, Anhydroxylitol and Xylitol together form what is often called a moisture-reservoir complex, holding water in the upper layers and releasing it gradually rather than all at once.
That matters overnight more than at any other time. Skin loses more water while you sleep than during the day, which is why people with otherwise comfortable skin wake up tight. A humectant that works for two hours does not solve that; one designed to release moisture progressively does.
Camellia Sinensis (Green Tea) Leaf Extract adds antioxidant protection and a calming quality, while Copper PCA - a copper amino acid complex - supports the skin's overnight recovery processes. Cetearyl Olivate and Sorbitan Olivate, both olive-derived, give a barrier-friendly texture that cushions without suffocating.
Key ingredients
Xylitylglucoside, Anhydroxylitol & Xylitol
A sugar-derived moisture-reservoir complex that holds water in the upper layers of the skin and releases it gradually, supporting hydration across the whole night.
Camellia Sinensis (Green Tea) Leaf Extract
An antioxidant-rich botanical that helps protect and calm the skin, countering the day's environmental stress overnight.
Copper PCA
A copper amino acid complex included to support the skin's natural overnight recovery.
Cetearyl Olivate & Sorbitan Olivate
Olive-derived emulsifiers that create a cushioning, barrier-friendly texture rather than an occlusive film.
Glycerin
A moisture-binding humectant that works alongside the sugar complex to keep skin hydrated and comfortable.
Who it's for
This night cream is ideal for anyone who goes to bed comfortable and wakes up tight, and for normal, combination and dry skin. It is particularly useful in centrally heated bedrooms and air-conditioned environments, which strip moisture overnight.
Because it contains no Retinol or treatment-strength acids, it suits sensitive skin and works as a barrier-supporting partner to a routine that includes strong actives. The olive-derived, non-occlusive texture also makes it a reasonable option for combination skin that finds most night creams heavy.
What to expect
Skin feels hydrated and comfortable immediately, and the cream absorbs without a greasy film. The clearest sign it is working is the morning after: skin that would normally feel tight on waking feels comfortable instead. Barrier improvements build over two to three weeks of nightly use.
How to use
Apply a pea-sized amount to clean, dry skin every evening.
Massage over the face and neck using upward motions until absorbed, as the final step of your routine. If you use a serum, apply that first. On nights when you use Retinol or an exfoliating acid, this cream works well applied afterwards to keep the barrier comfortable.

Frequently asked questions
Does it really hydrate for twelve hours?
The formula uses a sugar-derived moisture-reservoir complex designed to release water gradually rather than all at once, which is what supports hydration across a full night's sleep.
Why do I wake up with tight skin?
Skin loses more water overnight than during the day, particularly in heated or air-conditioned bedrooms. That is the specific problem this cream addresses.
Can I use it with Retinol?
Yes, and it works well that way. Apply your Retinol first and this cream afterwards to keep the barrier comfortable.
Is it too rich for combination skin?
It shouldn't be. The olive-derived emulsifiers give a cushioning but non-occlusive texture rather than a heavy film.
Can I use it in the morning?
You can, though it is formulated for overnight use. If you do, always finish with SPF.
Is it vegan?
Yes. All the ingredients in this formula are plant-derived or synthetic; none are animal-derived.
What does Copper PCA do?
It is a copper amino acid complex included to support the skin's natural overnight recovery processes.
Is it suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes. There is no Retinol and no treatment-strength acid in the formula.
Can I use it around my eyes?
You can apply it carefully to the outer eye area, avoiding the lash line and direct contact with the eyes.
Caution:
This is a cosmetic product for external use only, and all results will be temporary; individual results may vary. Carry out a patch test before application, and do not apply to broken, damaged, or sunburnt skin. Avoid contact with eyes; rinse thoroughly with water if contact occurs. If redness, irritation, or discomfort occurs, discontinue use immediately and consult a healthcare practitioner. Consult your healthcare practitioner before starting a new skin treatment, or if pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking medication. Do not ingest. Store out of direct sunlight in a cool, dry place, and keep out of the reach of children.
