Brighten the night
We are excited to bring you a new product from Dermalogica, the Dermalogica BioLumin-C Night Restore. If you are a Vitamin C fan and looking to achieve brighter skin, you will love this product. Formulated with a powerful combination of Vitamin C + Pro-vitamin D in an overnight serum, BioLumin-C Night Restore works the night shift, restoring radiance, hydration and tone overnight. We quizzed Dermalogica’s Education Manager Victoria Evans on the subject of nighttime skin care and how this product works to deliver glowing skin by morning.
In a nutshell, what is this new serum and who is it for?
BioLumin-C Night Restore uses the power of Vitamin C plus Pro-vitamin D to help reverse daytime damage, restore skin’s barrier and hydrate and smooth. It’s great for all skins to help maximise skin’s nighttime recovery process to deliver brighter, smoother more hydrated skin by morning.
Do we really need a different serum at night?
Yes, because skin behaves differently at night compared to daytime. Skin cells operate on their own internal clock, following a circadian rhythm. This means that throughout a 24-hour cycle, the skin goes through distinct modes and responds differently based on the time of day. During daylight hours, skin cells are in defence mode. However, when night falls, they switch to repair mode. Using products designed to support skins overnight repair processes can deliver greater results.
This serum contains Pro-vitamin D, tell us about how this benefits the skin.
As you sleep, your skin goes into repair mode, regenerating cells and fixing the damage done throughout the day. One superstar ingredient that can enhance this process is Vitamin D. Vitamin D is often referred to as the “sunshine vitamin” because our bodies produce it when exposed to sunlight. It’s a fat-soluble vitamin that plays an essential role in maintaining bone health, supporting the immune system, and regulating mood. But also works wonders for your skin.
Vitamin D promotes skin recovery and restoration by promoting cell proliferation, collagen synthesis, and tissue regeneration. It also nourishes the moisture barrier by helping to prevent moisture loss and maintains hydration.
This serum also contains Vitamin C which is traditionally recommended for daytime. How does Vitamin C benefit the skin at night?
Yes, Vitamin C is perfect in the day as its potent antioxidant properties help support skin’s defence against environmental aggressors. However, it also offers support to skin’s nighttime repair processes. Vitamin C boosts collagen production and accelerates the skin’s natural repair process. Applying it at night can maximize these benefits, as your skin is already in repair mode.
At night, your skin’s permeability increases, allowing for better absorption of topical treatments. This means that Vitamin C can penetrate deeper into the skin, enhancing its effectiveness. And Vitamin C is known for its ability to lighten dark spots and even out skin tone. Using it at night allows it to work uninterrupted, promoting a brighter complexion over time.
