Great winter night cream for dry skin | Review of Janssen Cosmetics Night Replenisher

As the winter is coming nearer, my skin starts to freak out, getting super dry and occasionally flaky. This means the time has come for my Night Replenisher from Janssen Cosmetics.

This rich nourishing night cream is seriously great when dealing with dryness, tightness and flakiness, which are my usual companions during winter months. I apply it in the evening before going to bed and wake up in the morning with a smooth, hydrated and overall happy skin.

The active ingredients of this product are: hyaluronic acid (known for its deep moisturizing effect), white lupines (supposed to increase the cellular activity), avocado oil (soothes and nourishes the skin) and vitamin E (an antioxidant, protects the skin against free radicals).

The full list of ingredients: Aqua [water], caprylic/capric triglyceride, C12-15 alkyl benzoate, isostearyl isostearate, cetearyl alcohol, glycerin, persea gratissima oil [persea gratissima (avocado) oil], methyl glucose sesquistearate, octyldodecanol, butylene glycol, hydrogenated cocoglycerides, glyceril stearate, tocopheryl acetate, saccharide isomerate, pentylene flycol, propylene glycol, imperata cylindrica extract [imperata cylindrica root extract], hydrolyzed lupin protein, codium tomentosum extract, sodium hyaluronate, allantoin, bisabolol, ethylhexylglycerin, PEG-8, ascorbyl palmitate, tocopherol, dimethicone, xanthan gum, carbomer, steareth-21, lecithin, disodium EDTA, citric acid, parfum [fragrance], phenoxyethanol, methylparaben, butylparaben, ethylparaben, propylparaben, isobutylparaben, potassium sorbate.

Although the cream is rich and quite thick in texture, yet luckily it doesn't clog pores (yay!). However, you should be careful with the amount of product you put on your face. I wouldn't recommend slathering it on like there's no tomorrow, because then the excess product might cause your skin to break out. You do need a tiny amount, even if at the moment you feel like it won't be enough. Our skin tries to balance itself out at night, and the objective should be to enhance natural processes, not to prevent them.

As a bonus for lazy girls like me, I'd like to add a few words about the cumulative effect this product has. There are days when I'm too tired and just can't be bothered to apply a moisturizer, all I do is clean my face and fall asleep. But a day or two like this won't bother my skin, it will still feel alright. Props to Janssen for that!

All in all, a great product for dry skin, especially in the winter months. Highly effective, non-comedogenic, and a great value for money.
