At night, while you sleep, your skin does its best work. This is the time to bring in the heavy hitters. Retinol is like a personal trainer for your skin cells—it speeds up turnover and kicks brown spots out the door.
Start with a low dose (0.25% or 0.5%) and use it only twice a week at first. I made the mistake of slathering it on every night and woke up looking like a peeling lizard. Go slow, and always follow with a rich moisturizer.

If retinol feels too intense, try niacinamide. It’s the gentle cousin who brings snacks to the party. It calms redness, fades spots, and plays nice with other products. I mix a few drops into my night cream, and my skin feels like it’s had a good night’s sleep.
