I slapped this on my face every night for a month. Not because I had to — because my skin started *asking* for it by week two.
The real test: I woke up at 6am, looked in the mirror, and didn’t immediately reach for concealer. That never happens.
It’s £62 for 50ml. Temple Spa calls it “Peace & Quiet Good Night Cream” — which sounds like a spa brochure, I know. The claim that got me: “visibly reduces fine lines while you sleep.” Bold. I’m a skeptic.
Texture
Thick but not greasy. Think cold cream meets soufflé.
Scent
Lavender + something herbal. Not grandma. Calming.
Absorption
Takes 90 seconds to fully sink in. That matters before bed.
No filler nonsense. The formula leans hard on actives that actually do something overnight — when your skin repairs itself anyway. Here’s the shortlist:
- Bakuchiol: plant-based retinol alternative — zero irritation, real smoothing
- Peptides: signal your skin to make collagen while you drool on your pillow
- Shea Butter: heavy but non-comedogenic — locks moisture in without breaking you out
- Vitamin E: antioxidant that actually survived the jar — protects overnight
Night one: felt rich, almost too heavy. Woke up sticky. Almost quit. Glad I didn’t.
Week two: my skin stopped drinking it so fast. By week three, fine lines around my mouth looked… softer? Not gone. But softer. Unexpected thing: my jawline acne calmed down. This cream is weirdly good for breakout-prone skin.
Fine lines: less noticeable, not erased. Morning glow: definitely there — like I’d slept 9 hours instead of 6. What didn’t change: deep wrinkles (nothing short of Botox will).
Best night cream I’ve tested this year. Not a miracle — but it delivers on the promise, which is rare in this price bracket.
