No. 5: Avon Anew Rejuvenate Night Revitalizing Cream, $32

TotalBeauty.com average member rating: 9.5*
Why: Here's another great option for those with oily skin. One reader says, "It moisturizes and softens without any greasy feeling at all. It actually seems to decrease oiliness and make pores look smaller and clearer." Readers in their 30s are also big fans. "I am in my early 30s and suffering from minor breakouts and fine lines. This addresses those issues and more." Another reader shares the dramatic difference it's made in her skin: "it reduces the size of my pores, evens out my skin tone, gives me a glow, makes my skin appear more firm, reduces acne scarring, and reduces acne."

I like several of these products--great mix of drugstore and department store brands.

The Olay Age-Defying and Body Shop Aloe both look like good affordable options to try.

Excited to try wexler! Love hearing about new products

Olay Night Cream is a pretty good cream! I used it for years then I switched to ROC and noticed remarkable results!!

by brendalea Monday, March 4, 2013 at 03:51PM Report as inappropriate

Gotta say that the Roc Night Time Cream is fabulous!

by brendalea Monday, March 4, 2013 at 03:46PM Report as inappropriate

I have dry and very sensitive skin, and not many skin creams work for me; Neutrogena's Continuous Hydration Ageless Essentials is a good match for my skin, but not for night use. I would need something much heavier to last the night. It is great for daytime, excellent under makeup, and seems to visibly smooth out my skin and leave it with a nice feel. The consistency is very light and almost has a "whipped" look to it, and the first time I slathered it on my face and neck it was absorbed in seconds. The second (or even third) coat seems to be necessary for me, in order to last through several hours of wear. It has a pleasant aroma, and I especially love it on my neck and upper chest area, which soaks it up like a sponge. Well worth having if you like to vary your face creams and try something new, but don't expect it to be a thick night cream. Light and lovely it is, for thirsty skin in a world where your skin, because of pollution, etc. needs constant tender loving care.

Nice info

by EricaF123 Friday, December 28, 2012 at 05:06PM Report as inappropriate

I highly recommend the Night cream Vitamin C of A Brenner Cosmetic,very quality products, it was very helpful with my problematic skin, i use it with the face serum of them, it was almost instant result

by donavian Tuesday, December 11, 2012 at 04:45AM Report as inappropriate

I can testify to that Olay firming cream. I've been using it for years and I love it! It's basic, but it works.

by cheerio9551 Friday, November 30, 2012 at 03:02PM Report as inappropriate

Go ahead and use these Night Creams, but make sure you sleep on a DreamSkin pillowcase, it's not a silk pillowcase or satin. It's the first fabric formulated for skin care that acts like a cosmetic moisturizer. This pillowcase will keep the cream and moisture in your skin all night long.

by DreamSkinlab Wednesday, November 28, 2012 at 07:10PM Report as inappropriate

this is an interesting list. never expected the proactive to be #1 since it never did anything good to my skin. right i'm using paula's choice products, i LOVE them :) its definitely a product that you must try. i use to use aveeno before but i had to switch, it seemed like my skin got used to it

by mosh Tuesday, November 27, 2012 at 12:12AM Report as inappropriate

This really helped me choose a cream to try and feel comfortable with my decision. I have always felt over whelmed with moisturizers. I just purchase the body works aloe night cream after reading this article and have been happy so far. Thank you.

Some great recommendations to try!

by Chris213 Saturday, October 20, 2012 at 08:11AM Report as inappropriate

Olay night cream, works realky well at rehidrating dry skin.

by littleladyfish Tuesday, October 2, 2012 at 06:18PM Report as inappropriate

I am going to try the Olay and Loreal products and see what a differnce it makes. Right now I am using Skinn cosmetics nite cream and I am super happy but I cannot afford it so I don't use it often.

by pomomakeup Thursday, September 27, 2012 at 02:25AM Report as inappropriate

There's a lot of choice here. I'd like to try The Body Shop and Aveeno creams.

by Helmi Sunday, September 23, 2012 at 07:39PM Report as inappropriate

I recommend anything on this list EXCEPT the Arbonne night creme; you are better off just washing your face and going to bed! Ive every face product from them and they are all USELESS; I would use drug sotre products in lieu of them. The Roc Retinol is as good as products that cost $100 dollars more. Try it, you , too , will be amazed. The CeraVe products are a great bargan as well!

by Beautyzar Tuesday, September 11, 2012 at 11:01AM Report as inappropriate

ponds is really good too

by Nicole2814 Monday, July 16, 2012 at 09:16PM Report as inappropriate

A MUST HAVE whitening cream for me has been the Monsia Whitening Cream that I ordered from Beyas. I got it after trying a bunch of others and only this one gave me actual results. Age spots are fading quickly and my face is looking a lot better :)

by laura_wolfhart Thursday, July 12, 2012 at 02:06PM Report as inappropriate

Currently using Aveeno Smart Essentials Nighttime Moisture Infusion. It makes my skin happy.

by HeyMissSJ Tuesday, June 19, 2012 at 03:48PM Report as inappropriate

I'm surprised to see Proactiv on the top. I'm thinking about giving the brand another shot, after seeing all the rave reviews!

by shiva_varghai Wednesday, May 23, 2012 at 10:19PM Report as inappropriate

I've been using Lumene, but I love the Olay Night of Olay Firming Cream! Just needed to try something new :)

by Karica4 Wednesday, May 23, 2012 at 12:38PM Report as inappropriate

A great night cream is a must have.

by TBjunkie Wednesday, May 16, 2012 at 08:08PM Report as inappropriate

glad there were some less expensive options, also a lot of these were from olay

by sportimonki13 Friday, April 6, 2012 at 01:44PM Report as inappropriate

I love the cream I already use (Fresh Soy--not specifically a night cream, but that's when I use it), but this was still a fun and informative read.

by tallredamanda Wednesday, April 4, 2012 at 06:23AM Report as inappropriate

I need a new night cream, great article!

by eatinglipstick Tuesday, April 3, 2012 at 07:42PM Report as inappropriate

I purchased Elizabeth Arden Millenium set tonight at Marshall's and so far the night cream is really nice. My skin is nice and soft from it. Time will tell. Have tried the Avon Anew and think it's so so although am now too old for it since I'm turning 40 this year. The Olay ones are good. Would like to try one of the others.

by Nicole1021 Saturday, March 24, 2012 at 07:44PM Report as inappropriate

I happen to love the Proactiv Clarifying Night Cream and was pleasantly surprised to see this was #1...It is definitely not just for people with acne...I will try one of the Olay products for the value...Thank you!

i wonder at what age is too early to use anti aging creams....

by yuri_barbie_hernandez Sunday, February 19, 2012 at 09:09PM Report as inappropriate

Night of Olay, huh. Inexpensive and works, i'll have to give it a try. Thanks.

by libby_stady Tuesday, February 7, 2012 at 08:02PM Report as inappropriate

I love Night of olay! It's cheap and it does the job without clogging pores!

Really want to try the aloe soothing night cream from the body shop..!

I hate to admit it but I have been a moisturizer snob! I do believe I will give Oil Of Olay a try after reading this review. Thanks!

This is very helpful. It's surprising that some of the products are cheap and they have good reviews. Thanks!

Olay, Olay. Olay. Still looking 5 to 10 years younger at 42. And I am a smoker, do the math ;)

by GlowGirl Tuesday, November 15, 2011 at 04:13PM Report as inappropriate

The olay firming cream is the best. After trying other brands, I still go back to it.

by midnightblue00 Monday, November 14, 2011 at 08:32PM Report as inappropriate

Great info...Thanks!

I'm going to try the American Beauty cream..I've been looking for a good night cream.

by attagirl Sunday, October 16, 2011 at 06:59PM Report as inappropriate

The Olay Regenerist line is my absolute favorite. After trying everything out there, I always go back to Olay Regenerist. You can't go wrong with any cream or serum in the line.

by Tsmith4896 Friday, October 7, 2011 at 11:40PM Report as inappropriate

My friend's derm told her Olay and Neutragena was the best creams, washes, etc for our faces.

by Only1KimmieD Wednesday, October 5, 2011 at 08:45AM Report as inappropriate

I have found an amazing night cream treatment..Avon's Genics..I love it.

Olay and Avon,here I come!

by selma Friday, September 23, 2011 at 11:56AM Report as inappropriate

Thanks for the recommendations. Way too many night creams on the market so this makes it a bit easier

I will use this as a guide when I run out of my cream.

I absolutely love this cream! It took me so long (and so many tries) but I finally got it right when I found this one! My skin is crazy..it's oily AND dry! This doesn't feel greasy and it doesn't make my skin break out! I LOVE IT!!!!!

Ladies, I bought a night cream by a brand called simply "Retinol Night Cream" from Sally Beauty Supply for about $10.00, and it's fabulous. I wake up looking like I did my my 20s (I'm almost 36).

by MiraBlackSnape Friday, July 22, 2011 at 12:27PM Report as inappropriate

I don't currently use a night cream--since I have oily skin, "creams" aren't usually things I want to stick on my face! But the ProActiv and vitamin C night treatments sound really good.

by LipglossandSpandex Thursday, July 21, 2011 at 05:13PM Report as inappropriate

I recently just purchased a night cream but I will definitely buy one of these in the future.

by MissXu Thursday, July 21, 2011 at 03:41AM Report as inappropriate

I will definitely purchase Avon and Olay creams! Yeeey finally something I can afford that is not too greasy!

by selma Wednesday, July 20, 2011 at 09:24AM Report as inappropriate

I wish more companies would put their products in pump-style containers. Dipping fingers into a jar seems like it would contaminate the product (even "clean" hands).

by braveslady Wednesday, July 20, 2011 at 08:27AM Report as inappropriate

i want to try the olay

by eatinglipstick Tuesday, July 19, 2011 at 04:13PM Report as inappropriate

I've used the Olay, anf the Mary Kay. Both of them were pretty good.

by MissPurple Tuesday, July 19, 2011 at 03:08PM Report as inappropriate

I think ill use the olay products but i looove the body shop!

by riley_beach Tuesday, July 19, 2011 at 01:20PM Report as inappropriate

I've used the Olay Firming cream and I like it a LOT!

by volta Tuesday, July 19, 2011 at 11:50AM Report as inappropriate

Of all these the only one I've used was the Mary Kay Time Wise Night solution. It was part of a 5 step Time Wise Kit. Its actually amazing. At first I didn't think it would be a big deal but over time my skin looked alot better. Its just that at the time the kit was super expensive for me. Right now I use Borghese, its easier to get, and I think its great.
