Night moisturizers have always been thick. Their texture alone was a differentiator from day creams. In fact, the concept of thick night creams hasn’t changed in 100 years. The primary purpose of thick night creams has always been to prevent excessive moisture loss from the skin overnight. And that’s an important function, but there’s more to skin than nighttime hydration.
The skin's circadian rhythm
The body has an automatic 24-hour clock that works with the rising and setting of the sun. Depending on these sun signs, the body produces certain hormones that regulate hunger, sleep, digestion, attention, joy of life, repair and many other functions. The skin is part of the same system and is therefore also affected by this internal clock. At night, the skin performs specific tasks that differ from those of the day .
During the night, the skin enters a mode of cellular repair, regeneration and detoxification. Other changes also occur, such as the skin's acidity level (its pH) and the increase in body temperature which directly increases transepidermal water loss (TEWL).
The problem with thick moisturizers
There are many reasons why these creams can be bad for your skin. Heavy night moisturizers can suffocate your skin, prevent the removal of dead cells, decrease cell regeneration, inhibit the restoration of your skin barrier, prevent the production of skin lipids, and even accentuate wrinkles. Simply put, heavy night creams prevent your skin cells from doing their job properly.
At night, skin sheds more dead cells, so thick creams can sandwich these dead cells on your skin, worsening occlusiveness and hindering cellular processing.
Heavy creams also send the message to the skin that it doesn't need to produce its own protective oils, making it lazier and therefore drier over time . This is exactly the opposite of what you're looking for when you apply a night cream.
It is still important to use a moisturizer at night since we lose more water, but never a thick cream.
Light moisturizing cream
Exosome Advanced Night Cream is Skin Diligent’s solution to these problems. It is a revolutionary lightweight night cream. Lightweight, yet loaded with cutting-edge ingredients to support skin’s functions at night. The cream targets cellular moisture regulation and skin’s lipid components, providing your skin with the hydration and moisture retention you expect from a night cream. Today, there is no need for a heavy cream to lock in moisture. But that’s not all. Its revolutionary ingredients encourage nighttime cell repair, detoxification, and regeneration functions. These ingredients ensure that new, stronger skin cells are created and cell life is extended. All with 99.98% natural ingredients.
Exosomes, epigenetics and longevity... in one pot
Exosome Advanced Night Cream contains two revolutionary epigenetic ingredients: exosomes and a biotechnologically derived botanical ingredient. Exosomes are the most sophisticated delivery systems ever discovered. Until recently, they were considered cellular debris. But recent technological advances have allowed us to discover their extremely valuable cargoes such as lipids, proteins, RNAs. The exosomes contained in our cream contain RNAs that target the skin's tight junctions, proteins that ensure the impermeability and integrity of the skin barrier.
The other pioneering ingredient is a biotech botanical ingredient that stimulates the production of telomerases, which are enzymes responsible for lengthening telomeres (the best marker of cellular longevity). Simultaneously, it targets several other markers of aging, such as inflammation, adequate protein production and the ability to promote gene expression.
This lightweight night cream boosts skin cell longevity, cell regeneration and makes cells stronger as they are created. All while you sleep.
