I've had a recent desire to use a night cream that I felt regenerated my skin while I slept so that I woke up with skin that felt refreshed and ready for the day.
At first, I used Aveeno Active Naturals Smart Essentials Nighttime Moisture Infusion. This product is in a plastic jar and is about $16.50 at Walgreens. While I felt like it did the job, it left my skin feeling greasy after application. When I woke up in the morning, I felt so oily that I just couldn't wait to get out of bed and wash my face. In summary, I just wasn't happy with this product.
Then, I tried Neutrogena Naturals Multi-Vitamin Nourishing Night Cream. Whoa. Let me just tell you how much I love this product. This cream is in a glass jar and costs about $11.69 at Target. After applying this product, my skin immediately felt softer and was not greasy. When I woke up the next morning, I was minimally oily (about what could be expected for me after a night's sleep). This is exactly what I wanted from a night cream. It claims to replenish moisture and essential skin nutrients while you sleep and the packaging states that it has no harsh chemical sulfates, parabens, petrochemicals, dyes, or phthalates. I can't pronounce almost any of those words, so I guess it's a good sign they're not present in this product. It's even cheaper than the Aveeno product, so I really can't complain. The scent is a tiny bit like oatmeal, but it doesn't hang around after application, and I wouldn't list this as a downfall of the product.
Overall, Neutrogena definitely wins this round. So, if you're considering trying a night cream, go for the Neutrogena one.
Do you use something different that you'd like to tell me about? Let me know in the comments below! :)
