Ok, this is not as "dumb" as it seems, I am using a night cream (a bleach cream to be specific) and it says I am meant to pat it at night- however the confusion is that I am not sure that when I wake up if the cream is still meant to be present or if it is meant to "dissolve" away as usually the cream will not be present and only a fairly small amount of the cream will be visible in the morning...

Please stop asking the same question - https://www.askmehelpdesk.com/skin-lightening/how-apply-night-cream-693619.html.

"Pat it" USUALLY means not to rub the cream into the skin because of the danger of stretching the skin, injuring the skin. Yes, the skin should absorb it - in most cases - overnight.

It would appear that you are using too much of the product.
