Dot & Key Retinol + Ceramide Night Repair Cream| Review

In this post, I am going to review about Dot & Key Retinol + Ceramide Night Repair Cream. These days I am using 3 products of Dot & Key brand; Day Cream, Serum and Night Cream. Day Cream & Serum have been already reviewed in this blog and this post is all about Night Cream. If you have already read my review about Dot & Key Pomegranate Miracle Moisturizer SPF 30 then you can skip this post as more or less my opinion is similar for both products (Day & Night Cream).

About the product:

1. Youth reviving daily use face serum to effectively treat fine lines & wrinkles
2. Supercharged with gentle yet powerful, encapsulated retinol, whereby the capsules break to release the active freshly to the skin with every application.
3. With antioxidant-rich pomegranate, it fades hyperpigmentation & visibly boosts skin radiance.
4. Contains collagen peptide to boost collagen production & improve elasticity for firmer skin.
5. Lightweight, milky texture, it’s ideal for normal, oily, dry & combination skin.
6. Non-comedogenic and fragrance free, it is derma-tested as 100% Safe on all skin types.

Price: ₹695

Quantity: 60 ml

Shelf life: 3 Years

How to use it:

• Apply a generous amount of the night cream to the face and neck, and massage well.
• For best results, follow this step with a sleeping mask, to lock the product in.
• Do this every night before bed.

Packaging: This night cream comes in a glass jar with a White colored plastic cap and an inner lid to prevent the leakage. This White cap reminds me of caps mostly used on the beach. LOL.. Due to the glass packaging of 60 ml, you will find it difficult to carry while travelling. Even you have to keep it away from kids reach. This full size product  comes with a white colored spatula. So, you need not to dip in your fingers in the jar or buy your spatula The difference in terms of packaging in between day & night cream is of cap (Day cream is Pink & Night cream is white colored) similarly the fonts are pink and white. 

My opinion about the product: The cream is pink in color and has a very refreshing fragrance. The texture is extremely smooth & easily sink-in my skin. It is so light weight that you don’t feel like wearing anything. It moisturizes well and keeps my skin hydrated for a really long time. These days after taking bath (I take bath before going to the bed) and then apply the serum followed by this cream. It keeps my skin hydrated throughout the night.

I am using a systematic routine these days so results are visible on my face. However it is difficult to comment on the effectiveness of this cream on wrinkles or fine lines. Such cream takes time to show results and right now I don’t have any fine lines or wrinkles. I am also using serum and Day cream along with this and it is making my skin really good. Less pimples breakout and also reduction in blemishes.

However there will be no magical result, you have to be consistent in your skin care routine. But definitely this cream makes my skin soft, smooth & nourished. Also small amount is sufficient to cover your face so this single jar will go long. Great option for every day use but don’t expect it to work on your specific problem

ZZM Rating: ♥♥ 4/5 ♥♥

I don’t know why but pictures of the product/jar is not coming the way it looks and my hand too looking weird 🙁 Yes! I tried a lot and finally gave up.
