The Best Overnight Treatments, Based on Your Skin Concerns

The best skincare products are the ones that work overtime with little to no effort, IMO. What if I tell you that you could wake up to more radiant skin simply by slathering the right treatment before snoozing? It’s true, the ultimate skincare hack: overnight treatments.

Sleep isn’t just for rest—your complexion works overtime at night to repair itself by increasing cell turnover. Your skin is also most receptive to healing at night, making it arguably the most crucial time to target your skincare concerns. Whether you want to hydrate, exfoliate, nourish, or brighten your skin, there’s an overnight treatment that’ll do the trick. Let these overnight treatments maximize your 7–8 hours, and give beauty sleep a whole new meaning.

Congested skin

If you need a helping hand to exfoliate dead skin, an overnight product with AHA and/or BHA acid can help smooth and refine your skin’s texture for a more even skin tone.

Acne-prone Skin

If you have oily or acne-prone skin, an instant clarifier can help draw excess oil, sebum, and impurities for clearer skin in the AM.

Dull Skin

If you’re looking to boost radiance, diminish dark spots, or even out skin tone, look no further. A brightening treatment will have you waking up to visibly brighter-looking skin in no time.

Dry Skin

Skin craving moisture? Quench its thirst with a nourishing treatment that’ll drastically boost the skin’s hydration levels and lock in moisture for softer, plumper skin.

Improve overall appearance

If you just want to give your skin a little extra TLC without targeting specific concerns, there are overnight treatments to help. These multitaskers can do everything from helping reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines to firming, strengthening, and brightening the skin.
