How are DayTime and Evening Moisturizer – Normal to Dry different?
Both formulas contain Ganoderma Lucidum (Mushroom) Stem Extract and Garcinia Mangostana (Mangosteen) Fruit Extract, a shared pair carrying youthful lifted-look and antioxidant-protection jobs against skin-damaging free radicals. DayTime Moisturizer – Normal to Dry uses Polygonum Aviculare Extract to help reduce visible signs of photo-aging and Squalane to soften and smooth in a lightweight, luminous formula. Evening Moisturizer – Normal to Dry adds Rosa Canina (Rose Hip) Seed Oil for the appearance of photo-aging in a rich night cream that restores moisture and supports natural renewal overnight. Compare the formulas.
What did Evening’s renewal study find?
The independent clinic’s full report adds a surface-turnover result. Tested Evening Moisturizer – Normal to Dry showed up to 100% greater visible surface-cell turnover by day 18 versus untreated skin. See the surface-turnover study. Used morning and night with the Normal-to-Dry 3 in 1 Cleanser, the two moisturizers also form the tested SenePlex+® Normal-to-Dry regimen. In an independent eight-week study of 32 women using the SenePlex+® Normal-to-Dry regimen (3 in 1 Cleanser – Normal to Dry, DayTime Moisturizer – Normal to Dry and Evening Moisturizer – Normal to Dry), expert grading at week 8 found improved visible brightness, radiance, or luminosity in 96.88% of subjects. See the regimen study or its findings.
Why do we recommend both?
Choose Normal to Dry for balanced hydration through seasonal changes, with multi-weight moisture support for smooth, resilient-looking skin. That contrast is why we recommend you own both: DayTime keeps morning skin polished and luminous without a night-cream feel, while Evening gives richer comfort and renewal as you sleep. Both carry SenePlex+®; DayTime adds a copper peptide, and Evening adds Canarium Indicum (Nangai) Seed Oil (see what Nangai Oil is). Starting with one product?
