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.

  • 92% said it left their skin nourished, healthy and balanced

SOM1X®

Dr Somji's proprietary barrier-repair complex. Works overnight to strengthen the skin barrier and improve moisture-retention capacity.

Encapsulated Retinol

Indian Gentian Extract

Inspired by advanced regenerative medicine. Boosts the skin's self-repair system and targets skin tissue recovery overnight.

Plankton Extract

From green microalgae. Restores the skin's natural circadian rhythm, reducing stress signals and allowing optimal overnight repair.

Hyaluronic Acid

Maintains overnight hydration, improving skin smoothness and freshness by morning.

Australian Wild Rosella Extract

Immediate and long-lasting moisturising. Restores the skin barrier by increasing lipid production.

Rosehip Seed Oil

Rich in Omega 3 and 6 (Vitamin F) plus natural Vitamin A for cell turnover and skin regeneration.

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.
