Just curious. Do creams work differently on asleep person and awake person?
If I apply a cream that has to be applied at night during the day if I am at home, would it give the same results?

Nighttime is when a lot of the skin renewing processes happen in your face, also, night creams are usually more intense moisturizers that have thicker consistencies and more oils which either makes them more effective in the night, or more comfortable in the day.

Day creams will hydrate the skin and protect it from the environment and pollution. Night creams contain higher concentrated ingredients like antioxidant Vitamins or Retin-A. When we sleep at night our entire body and skin recharges and repairs itself, so it's the best time to apply a night cream, which will help replenish and repair damaged skin.

What is a good night cream for mature skin?
