Your skin is exposed to different environments both during day and at night and so the same cream cannot work wonders for your skin both the times. The day creams are aimed at protecting your skin from sunlight, dirt and pollution while night creams have to moisturize, rejuvenate, regenerate and help the skin to recover. This is the reason day creams are non-greasy and light while night creams are thick and rich.

Night creams play an important role in maintaining the health, glow and radiance of your skin. They work when you are sleeping and help to replenish, nourish and clear the skin, which works better at night with more absorption power when you are sleeping.
