QV Face Nurturing Night Cream - 50g
Triple moisturiser formulation with Safflower Oil and Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) visibly improves skin elasticity and helps to reduce the appearance of fine lines.
QV Face Nurturing Night Cream, 50g. A rich cream with safflower oil and a triple moisturiser blend of occludents, emollients and humectants, to replenish moisture lost through the day.
Why a separate night cream
A day cream carries sunscreen and has to sit under makeup, so it is necessarily lighter. Overnight neither constraint applies, which lets a night cream be richer and stay put for eight hours without anyone minding how it feels.
Skin also loses more water overnight than during the day, so a heavier cream at night is addressing a real difference rather than a marketing one.
What the triple moisturiser blend means
Three mechanisms rather than one. Humectants draw water into the outer skin layer, emollients smooth and soften it, and occludents slow water escaping. A product using only one of the three tends to disappoint: humectants alone can leave skin no better off if there is nothing holding the water in.
Where it fits in a QV routine
| Product | When |
|---|---|
| Face Nurturing Night Cream (this one) | Night. Rich, no sunscreen needed |
| Face Day Cream SPF 30 | Morning. Lighter, with sun protection |
When skin needs more than a cream
Facial skin that is persistently red, flaking, itchy, burning or breaking out despite a gentle routine may be dermatitis, rosacea or another condition that needs treatment rather than a richer moisturiser. Worth seeing a pharmacist or doctor rather than layering products.

QV Face Night Cream FAQs
Why use a night cream as well as a day cream?
A day cream has to carry sunscreen and sit under makeup, so it is lighter. Overnight those constraints disappear, and skin loses more water at night, so a richer cream is doing a real job.
What does the triple moisturiser blend do?
Humectants draw water in, emollients smooth the skin, occludents slow water escaping. Using all three is why it works better than a product relying on one mechanism.
Does it contain sunscreen?
No, and it should not. Sunscreen belongs in the morning product. Use the QV Face Day Cream SPF 30 during the day.
Is it suitable for sensitive skin?
It is fragrance, colour and lanolin free and pH balanced. Patch test first if you react easily, and add one new product at a time.
Can I use it around my eyes?
Follow the pack directions. The skin around the eye is thinner and more reactive, and some people prefer a product intended for that area. Ask a pharmacist if unsure.
When should I see someone about my skin?
If it stays red, flaking, itchy, burning or breaking out despite a gentle routine. That may be dermatitis or rosacea, which need treatment rather than a richer cream.
Always read the label and use only as directed. If irritation occurs or symptoms persist, see your pharmacist or doctor. This information is a general guide and is not medical advice.
