Q: Aside from the AM moisturizer having sunscreen, what other differences are there between the AM and PM formulas?

submitted by KatieT - 10 months ago
  • A: The night one is a lot less heavy then the morning one

    submitted byL - 8 months ago
  • A: Hello KatieT! We're happy to clarify the differences between our AM and PM Facial Moisturizing Lotions. The most significant difference, as you noted, is the inclusion of SPF 30 in the AM formula for daytime protection. Beyond that, the PM lotion contains niacinamide, which helps calm the skin and is generally recommended for nighttime use. Both lotions share our signature blend of ceramides and hyaluronic acid for essential hydration, but the PM lotion focuses on skin recovery and replenishment while you sleep, whereas the AM lotion prepares your skin for the day ahead with added sun protection.
