Look for powerhouse ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, glycerin, squalane, or ceramides that attract and lock in moisture throughout the night.

Select a formula suited to your skin type—lightweight gels work well for oily or combination skin, while richer creams are ideal for dry or mature complexions.
