Choosing a face cream seems simple. Until you have to decide between a day cream, night cream, or a single cream you can use at both times.
Do you really need two different creams? And what is the difference between the formulas? The answer doesn't start with what an extensive skincare routine dictates you should use. It starts with what you find comfortable, how you want to organize your routine, and what your skin needs at that moment.
Fewer products, more conscious choices
A routine doesn't always have to become more extensive. Not every new step needs a permanent spot on your bathroom counter. The most important thing is that the products you choose suit your skin and the time of day you use them.
This might mean you prefer to use a separate cream for the morning and evening. But it could also mean you prefer one complete cream. And sometimes you switch between them, depending on how your skin feels.
Day cream: developed for daytime
In the morning, you want a cream that absorbs well and blends seamlessly with the rest of your routine. Especially when you apply makeup afterward, it's nice when your cream doesn't leave a heavy or sticky feeling.
The Rooibos Lightweight Day Cream has a silky-smooth, almost serum-like texture. The cream absorbs quickly, works well under makeup, and gives the skin a subtle glow.
Within this formula, special attention is given to algae extract and baobab extract. Algae extract is suitable for daytime care and contributes to a fresh, 'glowy' complexion. Baobab extract supports the soft skin feel. This way, the Day Cream is tailored for those who prefer a fast-absorbing cream during the day, without extra weight on the skin.
The Day Cream suits you if you:
- are looking for a fast-absorbing cream for daytime;
- prefer to use a separate cream for the morning;
- want to be able to apply makeup afterwards;
- love a subtle, natural glow.
Night cream: hydration and comfort for the night
A night cream doesn't automatically have to be thick or heavy. Maybe you want to finish your evening routine with a separate formula, but a rich texture doesn't feel comfortable on your skin.
The Rooibos Lightweight Night Cream has a light, serum-like texture and leaves the skin feeling soft and comfortable. In this formula, special attention is given to lotus and glycoin.
Lotus is a plant extract that contributes to a soft, well-cared-for skin feel. Glycoin helps the skin feel hydrated and comfortable. Thus, the formula is suitable for night: a time when your skincare can quietly stay on the skin and hydration is central.
The Night Cream suits you if you:
- prefer to use a separate cream for the evening;
- like a serum-like texture;
- want to pay extra attention to hydration in your evening routine;
- are not looking for a rich or heavy night cream.
24H cream: complete care for morning and evening
Do you prefer to use one cream for both times of day? Then the Rooibos Nourishing Face Cream 24H will probably fit your routine better.
This is the most complete cream within the Dore Essentials. The formula combines hydration with nourishing ingredients. A form of hyaluronic acid helps bind moisture to the skin. Baobab extract supports the soft, well-cared-for skin feel, while cocoa butter, shea butter, and coconut oil give the cream its richer, nourishing character.
The texture is slightly richer than that of the separate Day and Night Cream, but still absorbs quickly and doesn't feel sticky. This means you can use the 24H Cream both in the morning and in the evening. It also works well as a nourishing base under makeup.
Thus, the 24H Cream brings together several desires in one formula: hydration, nourishing care, and the convenience of one cream for the entire day.
The 24H Cream suits you if you:
- want one cream for morning and evening;
- like a slightly richer, comfortable texture;
- want to combine hydration and nourishing care;
- want to keep your routine as simple as possible.
The same gentle base
The three creams differ in texture, supplementary ingredients, and time of use. However, each formula starts with the same three basic ingredients: green rooibos extract, D-panthenol, and allantoin.
Green rooibos extract is rich in antioxidants and known for its soothing properties. D-panthenol and allantoin are nourishing ingredients that help the skin feel soft, supple, and comfortable.
Whichever cream you choose: Dore's foundation is gentleness.
You don't have to make one choice forever
Your skin doesn't feel exactly the same every day. Therefore, your choice doesn't have to be fixed.
You can use the Day Cream in the morning and the Night Cream in the evening if you like to differentiate between the two times. You can also alternate with the 24H Cream within your routine:
- the Day Cream in the morning and the 24H Cream in the evening when your skin feels drier;·
- the Night Cream on regular evenings and the 24H Cream when you need a bit more comfort;·
- the 24H Cream as a fixed base, alternated with the Day Cream when you prefer a serum-like texture during the day.
Besides alternating, you can also combine the creams. When your skin calls for extra care, you can apply the 24H Cream after the Day or Night Cream as an additional, nourishing layer. On other days, one cream might be sufficient.
This way, your routine doesn't have to be the same every day. You choose what suits your skin, your preference, and your day at that moment.
