Our skin repairs and regenerates itself at night, and this luscious moisturiser will optimise those “beauty sleep” processes with powerhouse antioxidant and anti-inflammatory ingredients

Routines. We all have certain processes in our lives that run like clockwork: from how we meditate or make our beds—or coffee—first thing in the morning; to how we unwind after a long, stressful day. For some it’s a night cap, for others it’s a Netflix binge, and for beauty aficionados, it’s a multi-step nighttime skincare routine.

It’s also proven that high achievers execute their routines while the rest of the world is asleep. And in the beauty world, that can be interpreted by a skincare ritual that not only ensures you wake up looking fresh and glowing, but also wake up knowing you’ve optimised the skin’s nocturnal processes that support cell regeneration for a perennially healthy, firm and radiant complexion.

A noted medical practitioner-turned-aesthetics doctor specialising in skin restoration, anti-inflammatory solutions and non-surgical anti-ageing beauty treatments, Dr Barbara Sturm’s products turn regular skincare routines into efficient, experiential beauty rituals.

A stellar line-up is the brand’s high performance Super Anti-Aging Collection, which is formulated with powerful ingredients and potent plant extracts to combat the visible signs of ageing and leave skin fresh, hydrated and youthful-looking. The collection includes the new Super Anti-Aging Night Cream: Dr Sturm’s latest skincare innovation which is designed to support every step of the skin’s self-regeneration cycle that happens during shut eye.

While you sleep, the skin naturally shifts from protect mode during the day to repair mode at night. What happens when the body is at rest is an increase in essential hormones such as melatonin and the human growth hormone (HGH), which aid and accelerate overall cellular recovery and regeneration. Processes like detoxification happen during the time, where the body and skin naturally repairs environmental stress and oxidative damage to fight off free radicals. Free radicals are responsible for breaking down skin’s collagen that lead to fine lines, wrinkles, sagginess and unevenness.

The rate of detoxification and cellular functions, however, slow down as we age. The accumulation of free radicals, impurities and oxidised protein waste also prevent the skin from optimal repair and regeneration over time. This is where Dr Barbara Sturm’s new Super Anti-Aging Night Cream steps in to give your skin and skincare regimen a serious boost.

Formulated specifically to optimise the skin’s nighttime processes, this luscious moisturiser contains the exclusive DBS Night System: an advanced blend of moisturising polyglutamic acid—which can hold up to five times more moisture than hyaluronic acid to intensely hydrate and plump the skin and prevent transepidermal water loss; hyaluronic acid and anti-inflammatory purslane to strengthen skin’s natural barrier function, soothe any irritation, and lock in loads of hydration to improve skin elasticity and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles; and finally, avocado peptides, which help boost the skin’s detox cycle while stimulating the continuous production of collagen fibres for taut but bouncy, smooth, radiant skin. The formulation also includes Nonapeptide-1, which has been shown to activate and strengthen the skin's microcirculation, helping skin shift quickly from repair to protect mode, Purslane, an anti-aging, anti-inflammatory powerhouse, which is a key ingredient in Dr Sturm’s skincare, and Vitamin E, whose antioxidant properties may be effective at reducing UV damage in skin.

The result? A veil of comfort that works deep into the layers to refresh and rejuvenate skin while you sleep. Dr Barbara Sturm says: “Sleep is the time for the skin’s renaissance. I invented the Super Anti-Aging Night Cream with an exclusive DBS Night System—a three-fold, advanced science formulation that provides the skin with optimal hydration, essential detoxification and anti-inflammatory repair. It works whilst you sleep so that when you wake, your skin is firmer, smoother and healthier-looking”.

Back to the part about the ultimate nighttime ritual. Used after your double cleansing and hydration and complexion-balancing steps, apply a vial-full of Dr Barbara Sturm’s Night Serum. This powerpacked elixir is formulated to accelerate nightly renewal, with the help of cotton thistle extract, a nourishing, anti-ageing compound; cassia alata extract that boosts skin’s natural reparative process against UV ray damage; poria cocos and beta-glucan extracts to improve and replenish skin’s natural barrier function; and plankton extract that deeply hydrate and plump the skin to visibly reduce the look of wrinkles and fine lines. Then crown it off with a facial massage using the Super Anti-Aging Night Cream.

And finally, make your night cap a tall glass of water with two of Dr Barbara Sturm’s Good Night supplements—ideally 45 minutes to an hour before you go to bed. These capsules contain a smart blend of natural ingredients crafted to calm and relax the body for a more restorative night of rest. The nutrient-rich complex includes the calming herbs Lavender Flower Extract, Valerian, Passion Flower and Hops; anti-inflammatory Purslane, as well as water-soluble Niacin (which the body does not store), 5-HTP and Vitamins B12 and B6, which contribute to the normal, healthy functioning of the nervous system, which is necessary to enhance the quality of your beauty sleep, and in turn, optimises the skin’s overall regeneration processes.
