A good night’s sleep is important for many reasons. It gives our bodies and brains a chance to rest and recharge, fueling us for the activities and demands of the next day. But nighttime is also an opportunity to refresh our skin with deep moisturization.
Overnight, skin gets a break from environmental exposures, making it a crucial time for skin cell regeneration and overall rejuvenation. That’s why it’s important to use an intensely moisturizing overnight cream packed with ingredients that support cell regeneration and reduce signs of skin damage.
Ultraceuticals skincare’s Ultra DNA³ Complex Recovery Night Cream, featuring Dynamic Night Activator³, is a luxurious night cream that works with the skin’s natural renewal cycle to deeply nourish, restore hydration and smooth the skin while you sleep.Dynamic Night Activator³ is a triple-enzyme complex that works with the skin’s natural night-time renewal cycle to deeply rejuvenate the appearance of the skin. The complex has three enzymes from micrococcus lysate (an ocean bacteria), arabidopsis thalania (a flowering plant) and plankton extracts. They are encapsulated using a liposome delivery system for optimal efficacy and skin absorption.
More specifically, Ultra DNA³ Complex Recovery Night Cream uses Lamellar technology to deliver intense, long-lasting hydration. It mimics the skin’s lipid layer, allowing the cream to bind and interact with the skin to replace lost lipids. Lipids form a protective barrier for skin and hold in moisture.
Other key ingredients work together to hydrate and plump the skin:
- Panthenol, or provitamin B5, dramatically improves the appearance of dehydrated, dull and coarse skin texture.
- Sodium hyaluronate, derived from hyaluronic acid, a natural lubricant, helps the skin absorb and retain water.
- Squalane, a hydrating molecule sourced from sugarcane and 100% vegetable-based that has anti-inflammatory properties.
- Jojoba, grapeseed and avocado oils, which provide rich and luxurious emollience, making the skin feel deeply nourished and hydrated.
- Damask rose extract, which promotes a rested, relaxed and refreshed look.
Suitable for all skin types, including sensitive, the dermatologically tested, noncomedogenic Ultra DNA³ Complex Recovery Night Cream is designed to address dryness and dehydration, anti-aging, fine lines and wrinkles, discoloration and blotchiness, and visible signs of photoaging, or the damage the sun causes to the skin.
What’s more, it is easy to use. Ultraceuticals recommends using the included spatula to dispense a pea-size amount of Ultra DNA³ Complex Recovery Night Cream onto fingertips and then gently massaging it into the face and neck at night, avoiding direct contact with eyes. Note that Ultra Lux Technology transforms the product from a thick cream to a serum texture.
For maximum results, first spritz Ultra Hydrating Skin Mist, dab on Ultra Eye Cream, and apply Ultra A Perfecting Serum and Ultra B2 Hydrating Serum before slathering on Ultra DNA³ Complex Recovery Night Cream.
Remember that optimal skin hydration is crucial for both healthy-looking skin and comfort. Dryness happens when the skin produces too little oil, while dehydration results from excessive water loss from the skin. Both oily and dry skin can be dehydrated. Each of Ultraceuticals’ eight moisturizers are designed to tackle dehydration and work to nourish the skin’s surface layers while addressing concerns such as evenness, brightness and redness. It is important to choose the best option for your skin type: thicker, creamier moisturizers that contain more oils are often best for drier skin types, while lighter creams with fewer oils work best for oilier skin types.
