Slumbra Night Cream

A restorative night cream that works while you sleep to visibly refine texture, support renewal and promote a clearer-looking complexion. Powered by retinol, it encourages healthy cell turnover to smooth skin, unclog pores and improve the appearance of fine lines and post-breakout marks. Prebiotics, including inulin and alpha-glucan oligosaccharide, help support a balanced microbiome for healthier, more resilient skin. Wake up to skin that looks smoother, clearer and refreshed, with improved clarity and radiance over time.

How It Works 

This night cream harnesses the skin’s natural repair cycle with targeted actives. Retinol accelerates cellular turnover, bringing fresh cells to the surface while unclogging pores and stimulating collagen production. Rosehip oil, rich in vitamin A and essential fatty acids, supports the retinol while providing nourishment. Calendula extract calms potential retinol irritation and supports healing. Inulin and alpha-glucan oligosaccharide work as prebiotics, maintaining microbiome balance crucial for clear skin. This comprehensive approach addresses multiple concerns while you sleep.

The Balense® Philosophy 

This night cream demonstrates that effective retinol treatment doesn’t require harsh formulations. Balance means powerful results with skin comfort. 

Retinol + Prebiotics Innovation 

While retinol renews skin surface, prebiotics maintain the microbiome balance often disrupted by active treatments. 

The Retinol Journey 

Patience brings results. Start slowly, build tolerance, and trust the process. Skin transformation takes 12 weeks. 

Can I use this if I’ve never used retinol?

Yes, start slowly 2x weekly and build tolerance. The soothing ingredients help minimise typical retinol irritation. 

Do I need another moisturiser on top?

No, this is a complete night cream.  

Can I use this while pregnant?

No, retinol is not recommended during pregnancy. Use Lumini Night Serum with bakuchiol instead.
