Perhaps it’s because I’ve shared hundreds of recommendations with my 71-year-old mom over my decade-long beauty writing career—but she’s extremely picky about skin care. And, while she rarely makes sweeping superlative statements about particular brands as a whole, she has praised every Elemis skin care product she’s ever tried. Her skin is also excessively dry—hence why I’m buying her the brand’s Superfood Midnight Facial—which fans deem a fast-acting, soothing, and plumping treat for rough, dry skin.

Another testament to its effectiveness: More than 3,000 Amazon shoppers have purchased the highly rated cream in the past month alone.

The Elemis Superfood Midnight Facial is a hydrating, suppleness-inducing, anti-aging night cream that also functions as a plumping overnight mask. Hailing from British-born skin care brand Elemis, the formula is as effective as it is luxurious—which is to say extremely—thanks to its blend of nutrient-dense ingredients.

For instance, the moisturizer contains cocoa butter—a seed extract that leaves skin supple and smooth thanks to its richness in fatty acids. Furthermore, the lipid-rich ingredient seals moisture in the skin overnight, leaving it smooth and plump in the morning.

Finally, the formula features protective properties thanks to antioxidant-rich camu camu, shielding skin from free radicals found in the environment; in turn, it prevents premature signs of aging like hyperpigmentation, wrinkles, and crepey texture.

Shoppers are impressed by Elemis’s luxurious overnight skin-plumper. One shopper, who is on their “second or third” jar, says their skin feels “so soft” in the morning after applying it at night; plus, it "plumps" their complexion quickly, and has "reduce[d] wrinkles” over time, they said. Another fan, whose face was “dry and flaking so badly” prior to trying the cream—with images to prove it—said the product made a major transformation in only two days, and left their skin “so soft and healthy” as a result. A final reviewer, who called the cream “the best” moisturizer they’ve “ever used,” said it leaves skin feeling like “pure silk.” And ultimately, who wouldn’t want that?
