SLUMBRA BALANCING NIGHT CREAM

Skin Priorities Addressed

• Congestion and clogged pores
• Uneven texture
• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Post-inflammatory marks
• Overnight renewal needs

How It Works

This night cream harnesses the skin's natural repair cycle with targeted actives. Retinol accelerates cellular turnover, bringing fresh cells to the surface while unclogging pores and stimulating collagen production. Rosehip oil, rich in vitamin A and essential fatty acids, supports the retinol while providing nourishment. Calendula extract calms potential retinol irritation and supports healing. Inulin and alpha-glucan oligosaccharide work as prebiotics, maintaining microbiome balance crucial for clear skin. This comprehensive approach addresses multiple concerns while you sleep.
