Look for ingredients like retinol, peptides, hyaluronic acid, or vitamin C that support skin renewal and hydration overnight.

3. Texture & Absorption

Night creams often have richer textures for deeper hydration. Choose a formula that absorbs well without feeling greasy or heavy around the delicate eye area.
