You take care of your skin in the morning. SPF. Serum. Moisturiser. The routine is right.
But at night you wash your face, put on whatever is nearby and go to sleep.
And that's exactly where the problem is.
Night is the most important repair window of the day — when skin renews cells fastest, when the skin barrier rebuilds itself, when actives penetrate without competition from sun or makeup. Wasting that window with a generic moisturiser is like preparing everything for a marathon and sleeping through the training.
The skin you see in the morning is the result of what happened while you slept. And if what happened was little, that's what you see in the mirror.
CeraVe developed NightBarrier for one specific purpose: repair the skin barrier while you sleep — not just hydrate the surface.
The difference is fundamental. Hydrating the surface is what any lotion does. Repairing the barrier is what makes skin stop drying out, stop reacting, stop going red without apparent reason, stop feeling tight after cleansing. A compromised barrier is the invisible cause of almost every skin problem — and it's what NightBarrier resolves while you sleep.
You wake up with different skin. Not made up. Not treated. Different — softer, more balanced, more capable of handling the day ahead.
Three ingredients. One purpose. Eight hours to act.
Ceramides — NP, AP and EOP — are the building blocks of the skin barrier. Every day, stress, sun, cleanser and pollution erode that barrier. Without replenishment it becomes progressively compromised — and compromised skin dries out faster, reacts to more things and ages faster. NightBarrier's ceramides replace what the day wore away.
Hyaluronic acid draws water into the deeper layers of skin and holds it there while you sleep — not until it evaporates, but until your next shower. The hydration you feel in the morning isn't product residue. It's skin that retained what it received.
Niacinamide calms, evens and strengthens — reduces redness, minimises pores and balances tone over time, without you needing to do anything beyond sleeping.
Oil-free. Fragrance-free. Non-comedogenic. Developed with dermatologists for all skin types — including those that react to everything.
At night. After cleansing. It's the last step — and the only one that needs to be.
Apply a generous amount to your fingertips and spread across your face and neck in gentle movements from centre outward. No need to massage. No need to wait. The ultra-light texture absorbs in under a minute and doesn't transfer to your pillow.
Can be used alone or after your nighttime serum. Works perfectly as a base under SPF in the morning if you need extra daytime hydration.
Oily skin: use a thin layer — the oil-free formula adds no oiliness, only repairs the barrier. Dry skin: use generously — MVE technology releases hydration throughout the night.
One 85g bottle lasts between 60 and 90 days of daily nighttime use.
Limited stock. Free shipping included. 90-day guaranteed returns.

❓ FAQ
1. Won't it make oily skin worse? No — the formula is completely oil-free and non-comedogenic. For oily skin, a compromised barrier is often the cause of excess oiliness — when skin loses hydration, it produces more sebum to compensate. NightBarrier repairs the barrier and can reduce oiliness over time, not increase it.
2. Can I use it in the morning too? Yes — it works as a daytime moisturiser under SPF. It's ultra-light and absorbs fast. But it was formulated specifically for nighttime use and it's at night that it delivers the most complete result, taking advantage of the skin renewal window.
3. Is it safe for sensitive skin or rosacea? Yes — fragrance-free, alcohol-free, paraben-free. Developed with dermatologists specifically for reactive skin. Niacinamide helps reduce redness progressively and ceramides strengthen the barrier that makes skin less susceptible to reactions.
4. How long until I see results? Softer skin and less tightness you feel the first morning after use. Reduced redness and more even tone appear between weeks two and four. Visibly stronger barrier and less reactive skin between 4 and 8 weeks of consistent use.
5. Do I need a nighttime serum as well as NightBarrier? Not necessarily — NightBarrier alone already delivers hydration, barrier repair and tone evening. If you use retinol or other nighttime actives, apply them before NightBarrier as the final sealing layer.
6. Does it transfer to the pillow? No — the ultra-light texture absorbs completely in under a minute. You can lie down immediately after applying without transferring product to the pillowcase.
7. What if it doesn't work for me? 90-day guaranteed returns. No hassle, no questions, no risk.
