Face creams in Morocco

Which face cream to choose?

Cream is the step that seals your routine. It holds in hydration, protects skin comfort and extends the action of the serums applied just before. Choose it by two criteria: your main concern and the time of day.

Dark spot cream in Morocco: the Crème Anti-Taches & Éclat

The Crème Anti-Taches & Éclat 50 ml is a brightening treatment enriched with 2% alpha-arbutin, vitamin C, licorice extract and niacinamide. It helps fade the look of dark spots (sun, age, post-acne marks), even out the complexion and smooth skin texture. Apply it morning and evening on clean skin, on the whole face or locally on the spots. In the morning, always pair it with sun protection.

Anti-aging night cream: the Crème Nuit Réparatrice

The Crème Nuit Réparatrice Anti-Âge 50 ml combines 2% hyaluronic acid, peptides, squalane and ceramide. It deeply hydrates, strengthens the skin barrier and helps the skin regenerate while you sleep. Apply it in the evening, as the last step, massaging a pea-sized amount onto the face and neck.

Using a dark spot cream under the Moroccan sun

In Morocco, the sun shines almost all year round, and it darkens existing spots and brings out new ones. A dark spot cream can only give its best with SPF 50 sun protection applied every morning, then reapplied when exposed.

• Patience: allow at least four to six weeks of regular use before judging the result.
• Consistency: morning and evening, every day, rather than a large amount now and then.
• Winning duo: in the morning, the 5% vitamin C serum under the dark spot cream; in the evening, the retinol serum two to three times a week.
• Caution: a spot that changes in appearance, size or color should be shown to a dermatologist.

These four products, with the exfoliating toner, make up our dark spot & radiance routine. To understand where dark spots come from and the right routine, read our guide brown spots: the morning and evening routine adapted to Morocco.

How to apply a face cream

1. Apply the cream after your serum, once it has absorbed.
2. Take a pea-sized amount and dot it on five points: forehead, nose, cheeks and chin.
3. Spread from the center of the face outwards, then down onto the neck.
4. For dark spots, you can add a small amount locally.
5. In the morning, wait a few moments before sun protection.

Which types of dark spots does a dark spot cream target?

Brown spots on the face have several causes: sun exposure, age, or marks left by old breakouts. Our dark spot cream is formulated to help fade the look of these spots and even out the complexion. Spots linked to hormonal changes need more patience and very rigorous sun protection. In any case, a spot that changes should be shown to a dermatologist.

Why a special cream for the night?

At night, the skin faces neither sun nor pollution: it is the time when it repairs itself. A richer night cream gives it what it needs to strengthen its barrier and hold water until morning. Applied over a serum, it also limits the discomfort of strong actives like retinol. Oily skin can use it in a thin layer: it can lack water too. Our guide how to choose an anti-aging night cream details the criteria.

Which serum to pair with your cream?

• Dark spots and radiance: vitamin C serum in the morning, then the dark spot cream.
• Wrinkles and firmness: peptide & phyto-collagen serum or retinol in the evening, then the night cream. This is the base of the anti-aging & firmness routine.
• Dehydration: hyaluronic acid serum and ginseng serum, then the night cream, as in the intense hydration & repair routine.
• Pores and shine: niacinamide serum then a thin layer of cream.

The order of application is explained step by step in our guide in what order to apply your skincare.

Mistakes to avoid

• Forgetting sun protection in the morning, especially with a dark spot cream.
• Applying too much product: a pea-sized amount is enough for the face, a second for the neck.
• Changing cream every two weeks: skin needs time.
• Layering several strong actives on the same evening.
