Features:

• free from artificial color, parabens, and synthetic fragrance
• lightens acne spots
• super moisturizing

Recommended for:

• moisturizing and reviving skin for all skin types

Gone are the days when you have to buy two separate products for day use and night use. Neogen x Joan Vita Duo Cream offers you the best of day cream and night cream. With vitamin C, vitamin E, green tea, and other natural ingredients, it's highly effective in moisturizing and reviving your skin.

While being ultra-hydrating, some users noticed a strong smell coming from both creams, however. While the smell doesn't linger for more than a couple of minutes, some people still can't take it. Before purchasing, decide whether its scent is something you can tolerate or not.

Features:

• features Jeju orchid
• can be used as a day cream or a night cream
• addresses aging issues
• firming features

Recommended for:

• those who want a versatile night cream that also has aging care properties

Innisfree Youth-Enriched Cream is best known for being a peptide-rich cream that comes with the perfect blend of Jeju orchid. Aside from providing great hydration and nourishment to the skin, it also addresses aging issues.

A lot of users stated that the cream is very rich and thick in texture. Their skin feels hydrated and smooth whenever they use this skincare product. On the other hand, some say it feels too sticky for their liking. If you aren't a fan of sticky, moisturizing cream, then you might want to look elsewhere.

Features:

• quick-absorbing, lightweight gel texture
• minimizes fine lines
• moisturizing and hydrating

Recommended for:

• dry and sensitive skin

This gel texture rejuvenating cream is the lightweight version of its predecessor Concentrated Ginseng Renewing Cream (even though that price tag isn't very lightweight). Innovated to absorb quickly, it fights off signs of aging, such as fine lines and sagging skin.

Reviewers love how the product is perfect for dry and sensitive skin. They noted how they’ve tried many products, but nothing renews their skin without giving them any acne breakouts except for Sulwhasoo.

Features:

• ultra-moisturizing
• creates a glass-skin effect
• antimicrobial

Recommended for:

• keeping your skin moisturized and hydrated for hours

While this Etude House product can be used as a night cream, many people also use it as their day cream. The brand takes pride in the fact that it contains 63.4% collagen. This key ingredient is what makes it possible to provide abundant skin moisture and to create a glass-skin effect.

Reviewers love the fact that it's highly effective in keeping your skin moisturized for hours. Most users have decided to stick with this product after seeing great results. However, there are a few users that reported breakouts after using the product. Make sure to do a skin patch test to see if it's suitable for you!  

Features:

• contains aloe to soothe irritation and itching
• can be used on other areas of the body as well
• suitable for dry and oily skin
• fresh aloe vera scent

Recommended for:

• people with irritated or itchy skin that want some relief

The main thing that makes the Nature Republic Soothing Moisture Aloe Vera Gel 92% different from the other night creams is the fact that it can be used not just for the face, but also for your arms, legs, and even your hair.

Reviewers love its aloe vera scent, its water-like feel, its benefits, and many more. However, while it claims to be non-sticky, some users found otherwise. It shouldn't be a problem since this is typical with night creams, though.

Boasting its cruelty-free production process, AmorePacific is also noted as a brand committed to bringing products to enhance beauty and health with the use of natural botanicals. The Moisture Bound Rejuvenating Crème comes with bamboo sap extract and is best known for its intensive hydrating power.

Buyers of this product say that the cream does not just moisturize but softens their skin as well. No wonder most of the buyers have been sticking with this cream for a long time now! Some do say that the smell, while pleasant, is very strong.

This lightweight gel-based cream serves as “water” to your skin. With its superb cooling and hydrating effect, your skin gets a healthy glow that makes it more beautiful than ever. It is known for retaining the water of your skin, which prevents your skin from looking oily.

Among the many reasons why reviewers love it is because their skin feels moisturized and smooth right after they apply it. However, some wished the hydrating effect lasted longer. Try the mini pack first to see if you'll like this cream or will only use it occassionally.

Features:

• lots of naturally-derived ingredients
• high moisturizing capabilities
• not the best choice for dry or sensitive skin

With hydro-ionized mineral water as one of its key ingredients, Laneige has stabilized its position as one of the best skincare products for moisturizing. It takes pride in exclusive technology that locks in mineral water and other active ingredients for best results.

Reviewers noted that their skin is obviously smooth and supple right after using this miracle product. They also love its non-greasy feel when being applied to the skin. Users with dry or sensitive skin said it dried them out, so it would be better to do a patch test first.

Features:

• suitable for all skin types

• those that want to brighten their skin tone

This night cream that's rich in antioxidants and minerals can make your skin bright and supple. Users praised this cream for doing a good job in hydrating their skin. They stated that their skin looked a lot healthier after using it.

Buyers also indicated that the texture is thick, and their opinion is divided on this property. Some love it, while some didn't like it at all. If you don't mind a cream with a thick texture, then this Waterfall Glacier Water Cream is a great option for you.

Features:

• refreshing watermelon scent
• shrinks pores
• does not contain AHA
• suitable for all skin types

• those looking for a non-greasy night cream

This Korean overnight treatment delivers ultra-satisfying results. Many reviewers commented on how smooth and clear their skin felt after using this product and how it does not feel greasy at all.

However, some reviewers did not like the fact that it does not contain AHA. If you are very specific in wanting a cream with AHA, then there are other great Korean night creams you can choose from (like this option from SOME BY MI).
