Mature skin and environmentally stressed skin need extra moisturizing attention at night. Moisture Balance Restorative Night Crème is formulated with a higher concentration of humectants, and special lipids that soften and condition skin as you sleep. (See Best Defense Facial Moisturizer for a definition of humectants and lipids.)

In addition to Saccharide Isomerate (a humectant that holds moisture in low humidity), Moisture Balance Restorative Night Crème contains Sodium PCA (a moisture-holding amino acid that occurs naturally in the body), Tocopheryl Linoleate (a long-lasting moisturizer), and Sodium Hyaluronate, one of the body's most important moisturizing agents, present in the living part of the skin. Sodium Hyaluronate infuses hundreds of times its weight in water into dry skin cells, more than any other material known to science.

Moisture Balance Restorative Night Crème also contains Retinyl Palmitate (Vitamin A), essential to the development of healthy skin. It is non-comedogenic (won't clog skin pores), and is dermatologist tested and approved.
