Buying a face cream seems simple until you have to choose between a day cream, night cream, hydrating face cream, anti-ageing cream or barrier cream. Marketing copy often mentions radiant skin, intensive recovery or a more even complexion. These terms only mean something when you also consider the ingredients, how the product is used and whether it is compatible with your skin.
A thick cream feels instantly nourishing, but it is not automatically suitable for every skin type. On oily or blemish-prone skin, a heavy formula can feel uncomfortable. A lightweight gel cream may be more pleasant during the day, while a richer cream may suit dry skin or an evening routine better.
Pay attention to the combination of humectants, oils, butters and barrier-supporting ingredients. Glycerine and panthenol, for example, help the skin retain moisture. Ceramides and fatty acids are often used in formulas designed to support the skin barrier.
Ingredients such as glycolic acid, retinal or vitamin C can be useful in a routine focused on skin texture, dullness or visible signs of skin ageing. However, applying a product more often is not automatically better. An active cream may cause stinging or irritation for some users, particularly when several active products are used at the same time.
Start with a small amount and always follow the instructions on the packaging. If you have sensitive skin, test the product on a small area first. Stop using it if persistent redness, itching or a burning sensation occurs.
A cream without sun protection does not replace sunscreen. If you use a cream for pigmentation or an anti-ageing cream during the day, it is sensible to finish your morning routine with a separate SPF50 facial sunscreen when appropriate for the conditions.
When choosing a sunscreen, check the stated SPF, the usage instructions and whether reapplication is required. Haruharu Wonder’s product information, for example, recommends applying it as the final step and reapplying after prolonged exposure, swimming or perspiring.
A day cream is generally designed to feel comfortable under sunscreen or make-up. A night cream may be richer, but the main difference lies in the formula and your personal preference; the name alone is not a measure of quality.
The ingredients list provides more information than terms such as “glow”, “repair” or “renewing”. Examples include:
The effect of an ingredient varies depending on the formula, concentration and your skin. Brand promises therefore do not guarantee the same results for every user.
A 50 ml jar and a 50 ml tube contain the same amount of product, but a tube generally limits contact with the rest of the formula.

That depends on the product. A moisturiser is usually used once or twice a day on cleansed skin. An exfoliating or active cream may require a slower build-up schedule. Follow the instructions on the packaging and do not immediately combine several new active products.
Yes, provided both formulas work well with your skin. For example, use a lighter day cream in the morning and a richer night cream in the evening. During the day, separate sun protection remains important if your product does not contain SPF.
Check the expiry date and the period-after-opening symbol on the packaging. Store the cream in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. A change in smell, colour or texture may be a reason to stop using the product.
