NOCTURNE

The lavender and white floral scent is the first thing you notice and it genuinely sets the tone for sleep. I started using this partly on the recommendation of an esthetician and partly because the formulation looked serious on paper. The organic cocoa seed butter and the ceramide rebuild complex were the things that convinced me. My skin had been compromised for about four months after a bad reaction to a retinol product I overused. Within three weeks of nightly Nocturne use the sensitivity had calmed dramatically. Within five weeks I had my skin back. The esthetician noticed at my next appointment without me saying anything, which felt like the most honest possible endorsement.

Me cuesta encontrar productos que funcionen para mi piel seca y con tendencia a la dermatitis. He probado muchas cremas de noche pero la mayoría o me tapan los poros o no hacen suficiente por la hidratación. Con Nocturne encontré por fin algo que realmente nutre sin agobiar la piel. Después de cuatro semanas de uso diario mis mejillas ya no se sienten tirantes por la mañana. La manteca de karité orgánica y la manteca de cacao se notan en la textura, es una crema con cuerpo de verdad. Lo que más me sorprendió fue ver cómo a partir de la quinta semana mi tono de piel se fue uniformando. La raíz de peonía debe tener algo que ver porque no usé ningún otro producto nuevo.

Lavoro come makeup artist e la mia pelle è spesso sottoposta a stress, prodotti pesanti, rimozione frequente, ore sotto i riflettori. Avevo bisogno di una crema notte che riparasse davvero la barriera cutanea e non solo idratasse in superficie. Nocturne fa esattamente questo. In tre settimane la mia pelle è tornata compatta e meno reattiva. Il mattino la carnagione è uniforme e luminosa, cosa che prima non era scontata. Ho apprezzato molto che la formulazione sia certificata ECOCERT COSMOS e che tutti gli ingredienti siano trasparenti. L'estratto di bacche di olivello spinoso è quello che secondo me fa la differenza nella luminosità. Dopo cinque settimane ho smesso di cercare altro, questa è diventata la mia crema notte di riferimento.

I was sceptical going in because I have tried a lot of night creams that promise barrier repair and deliver very little. Nocturne is different and I think it comes down to the quality of the plant-derived ceramide complex. The glycosphingolipids are not a token inclusion here, you can feel the barrier work happening. After two weeks of use my skin stopped feeling tight after cleansing. After a month it felt genuinely resilient. I still think the full results take time, this is not an overnight fix, but the trajectory is very clear and very positive. For anyone coming from a damaged barrier situation I would say give it a full six weeks before you judge it.

Okay so the organic cocoa seed butter and shea combination in this is doing something genuinely remarkable for my skin overnight. I have been using night creams for fifteen years and none of them have produced this kind of morning softness before. My fine lines around my eyes and mouth were getting progressively worse through my early forties and after six weeks on Nocturne they are noticeably less pronounced. Not gone, but softer, like the skin around them has been plumped from underneath. I wake up and my face just looks rested in a way that feels different from anything I have used before. This is now a permanent fixture in my routine.
