‘Luxurious’ night essence gives shoppers spa-like treatment with overnight glow

The best anti-ageing skincare treatment often works during sleep as our skin repairs damage and rebuilds collagen throughout the seven to nine hours of uninterrupted slumber. Hence night time skincare works to speed up the process and makes the heavy work easier.  ticks the anti-ageing boxes to gently exfoliate, hydrate, brighten and boost elasticity for smoother, youthful skin by morning and customers have been raving about the results.

It has been so popular that it’s sold out on their but shoppers can still get it from Amazon at £32, the night essence has also garnered a 4.6 out of five star ratings from shoppers. Some said it’s “quite expensive” as an addition to usual skincare routine but retails at £76 for the same 150ml bottle.

One of the key ingredients used is retinol, which is a form of vitamin A commonly used in serums and creams. When applied, the encapsulated retinol is gradually released into the deeper skin layers where it converts into retinoic acid to help diminish signs of ageing and enhance skin texture and tone. 

“I was surprised to see retinol in this essence. It’s nice to see an anti-ageing ingredient be part of this step in the skincare routine, which you typically see in a serum instead. My face did feel a lot softer and moisturised after using it, so I do recommend this night essence for people with sensitive skin,” one customer shared. 

The Organic Pharmacy said it’s recommended to use as the second step in your skincare routine after cleanser and pour a few drops into palm and gently apply to the face, neck and decollete until fully absorbed. 20 minutes after application, the skin is plumped with hydration by 44.8%. It is also clinically proven to significantly after 28 days. 

An Amazon customer left a review: “The floral smell is nice and not too strong, which makes it a pleasure for me to use every night as part of my routine. Fruit acids even out my skin tone and get rid of dark spots, and gluconolactone (PHA), which removes dead skin cells gently and without itching, are two of the main ingredients.

“Retinol does its job by making the signs of aging less noticeable, and hyaluronic acid makes . I like how floral waters tone and deeply moisturize my skin, making it feel healthy and refreshed.”

A second added: “The texture is lightweight and refreshing, sinking in effortlessly without any sticky residue. And the rose scent? Luxurious, but not overpowering—just enough to make me feel like I’m treating myself to a spa night instead of just passing out after a long day.After a few uses, my skin started looking brighter, smoother, and weirdly well-rested (even though my sleep schedule says otherwise).”

There haven’t been any overtly negative reviews left on Amazon to date, though one did mention: “I can’t yet comment on its exfoliating effects, but it does feel hydrating, which is important for my skin in my mid-forties.” It’s also worth poitning out that cheaper skincare options are available.
