Between roughly 10pm and 2am, your skin is in active repair mode. Cell turnover accelerates. Collagen synthesis increases. The barrier works to restore what the day took from it. This isn't skincare marketing — it's skin biology.

  • The Night Recovery Cream is formulated specifically to support this window — combining barrier repair, retinol renewal and circadian skin recovery technology in one formula.

  • Contains SOM1X® — the same proprietary barrier complex at the heart of our Signature Serum. At night, without SPF or makeup competing with it, it works at full efficacy. Particularly recommended post-aesthetic treatments. 

  • Formulated by Dr Munir Somji, Cosmetic Surgeon and Co-Founder of the award-winning Dr MediSpa Clinics.

Is it safe to use retinol every night?

Yes, when formulated correctly. The Encapsulated Retinol in the Night Recovery Cream uses time-release micro-encapsulation to deliver retinol gradually throughout the night, minimising the surface irritation associated with standard retinol. SOM1X® strengthens the skin barrier simultaneously, creating the tolerability that allows nightly use even on sensitive skin.

Can I use this post-aesthetic treatment?

Yes — it is specifically recommended post-aesthetic treatments (including laser, microneedling, injectables and clinical peels). The combination of SOM1X® barrier repair, Plankton Extract for circadian recovery and Indian Gentian Extract for accelerated tissue repair makes it particularly effective during the skin's recovery phase.

How is this different from a standard night cream?

Standard night creams are primarily moisturisers with passive barrier support. The Night Recovery Cream contains three active systems working overnight: SOM1X® (barrier repair), Encapsulated Retinol at 7% equivalent (cell turnover and collagen stimulation), and Plankton Extract (circadian synchronisation) — making it an active treatment, not just an emollient.

What order do I apply this in my evening routine?

Cleanse → Concentrate (to targeted areas, if using) → Signature Serum or Exosome Barrier Repair Serum → Night Recovery Cream. It is the final step in the evening routine.

Is the retinol in this cream strong enough to cause purging?

The time-release encapsulation significantly reduces the likelihood of a purge response. If you are new to retinol, start with every other night for the first two weeks and build to nightly use. Over 97% of independent trial participants reported deeply hydrated, soft and smooth skin on waking without adverse reactions.

Is this suitable during pregnancy or breastfeeding?

The formula contains Encapsulated Retinol. We recommend consulting your GP or dermatologist before using retinol-containing products during pregnancy or breastfeeding.

Apply to cleansed face, neck and décolleté before bed. When using a Concentrate and/or Signature Serum, apply Night Recovery Cream over the top as the final step.

ACTIVE INGREDIENTS

A circadian science breakthrough — this green microalgae complex contains chronobiological signalling molecules that synchronise the skin's biological clock with its optimal repair phase, amplifying the natural overnight surge in cell renewal and collagen synthesis.

Derived from advanced regenerative medicine research, this extract activates the skin's endogenous repair pathways at a cellular level — stimulating the production of repair proteins that diminish with age and reduce the formation of sleep-position wrinkles.

At 7% equivalent concentration with time-release encapsulation, overnight retinol delivery maximises the natural peak in keratinocyte proliferation that occurs between 11pm and 3am — making the Night Recovery Cream the highest-efficacy retinol moment in the Dr Somji Protocol.

 PROPRIETARY BARRIER TECHNOLOGY

SOM1X®

Centella Leaf Extract, Marine Probiotics, Ceramides, MSM, Blackcurrant Seed Oil and Milk Thistle Extract work together to reinforce the skin's protective barrier, reduce moisture loss and support the skin's ability to regulate itself. Uniquely, SOM1X® creates the ideal environment for Encapsulated Retinol to deliver clinically active results — even on sensitive skin.

Wow this night cream is fantastic. I've never been able to use a night cream as it has always caused spots and blemishes. Not this one. Smells and feels amazing on my skin. Not oily or heavy and no blemishes. My skin has never been so bright or looked so good in years. Its part of my skin routine now and I'm so pleased with it .

Great product, I have seen a marked improvement with my skin.
My only issue is the packaging, it's almost impossible to open the container without the use of a knife.

This is my current favourite! 🤍

Such a lovely, rich cream – but not too heavy. It really renourishes your skin and leaves it looking and feeling so healthy. It feels super nourishing going on, without that thick, greasy finish.

I love using this as part of my nighttime routine – I genuinely wake up with a fresh, smooth, glowy face.

I've been using the Night Recovery Cream for a few months now, and I absolutely love it. My skin feels hydrated and nourished, yet the cream itself feels light. I won't be going back to any other night creams!

I started using Dr. Somji's skincare products last year when I was struggling with severe redness around my eyes and lower face. I had tried numerous prescribed treatments from both my doctor and dermatologist, but nothing seemed to make a difference.

Within just a month of using Dr. Somji’s Night Cream , the redness completely disappeared. I now use this product daily, and my skin feels noticeably brighter, fresher, and—most importantly—completely free of redness.

I would highly recommend this products to anyone dealing with similar skin issues. Its truly been a lifesaver for me.

My skin feels prfect and so glowy and fresh :)

I love this night cream! Skincare routine essential! Totally worth every penny. Feels amazing on my skin and its never felt softer. I haven't found a retinol before that doesn't irritate my skin, but this one has improved my skin so much without the irritation!! 10/10!! My skin looks brighter, smoother and lines and wrinkles have massively improved.

Im actually in shock. Absolutely love this cream, best night cream out there.
I have tried everything on the market, from the most expensive to medical grade…. But non of them does what this one does. It nourishes, and gives my skin everything it needs. I can’t wait for the evening routine to feel it on my skin, and in the morning I wake up to a glowing and smooth face.

I also love love the dispenser, so much more hygienic and will keep the product fresh for longer.

The perfect night cream for nourishment and healing and so reasonably priced. I have now turned my back on my previous night cream and will not be looking back. The wonderful thing is the whole Dr Somji Skin range compliment each other so well, so pleased I moved over to this range.
