Are you obsessed with slathering something on your face at night? I know I am--and so are many others: In 2005, we collectively spent $437 million in facial anti-aging skin care products, which was a 45.7 percent jump from 2003. Today's Are Night CreamsÂ’ Benefits Just a Dream? article in The New York Times explores the benefits of night cream, getting behind the science to help us sort through the hype and find a cream that really works. Here's what the doctors suggest: Some age-fighting ingredients, like retinol, are inactivated by the sun (and up your own sun sensitivity), so they should be wornatr night. Important, because retinol is one of the most highly regarded ingredients available without a prescription. “It’s the only thing that treats wrinkles you already have,” says Dr. Leslie Baumann, professor of dermatology at the University of Miami and author of “The Skin Type Solution.” Other key ingredients are peptides, which boost collagen production, Vitamin C, which is needed by the skin to make collagen, and sun-damage repairing antioxidants like vitamin E, coenzyme Q and green tea. Ingredients like ceramides, fatty acids and cholesterol help trap in moisture and repair the skin’s protective barrier, while salicylic acid, feverfew, chamomile and aloe vera can help soothe an irritated or inflamed complexion. To work, a cream must contain active ingredients in a sufficient concentration. Ingredients must also penetrate the skin and stay there long enough to have an effect. And, above all, you've gotta have patience. “Eight weeks is not an unreasonable amount of time to expect to see an improvement.”
