Fade the past while you sleep — which night cream will turn your pillow into a tiny dermatologist?
You can literally fade acne scars while you sleep. Wake up to smoother texture and fewer dark marks — slowly, not magically. Night creams give active ingredients time to work without daytime stressors.
Retinoids resurface. Thiamidol and brighteners target pigment. Ceramides and hyaluronic acid lock in repair. Pick a formula that matches your tolerance and your scar type, and be consistent.
