This = night cream, yet description says includes an SPF factor -- is this accurate? And WHY would a night cream include sun protection? EDIT late on Feb. 16:hmmm.... getting contradictory messages in these answers. Some say yes it does have an SPF factor, and others say it does not. I cannot imagine why a night cream would have SPF -- that's the last thing i'd want to put on my face overnight. Sigh.

I believe the spf component is absorbed along with the firming moisturizer to help those of us who don't always remember to wear sunblock every day. Also consider that a lot of these proprietary ingredients are mixed together before they are added to any specific cream, night or otherwise.

Yes, theSPF factor is accurate. I actually use this product every day and night =) it is very light weight. Why purchase two products when you can use one. Hope that helps.

My jar doesn't say SPF on it either. If it had SPF that wouldn't be too bad either because I wear this day and night. I like it much better than the daytime version.

The jar I have doesn't say it contains SPF. I don't understand why an SPF would be necessary for a night cream. Wish I could be more help.

I think with spf you can't stay in the sun a lot because you will still get sun damage. I used this at the beach in the summer for a couple of hours and I was fine but did not stay the whole day in the sun. I find that only a couple of hours in the sun every day with spf and I will still get darker as I tan easily even tho have fair-light skin!!! Hope that helps:)

That's hard to say,as there are so many I've used.I don't feel it's better,but It's fine for a night cream,and the price is good.It cetainly is very moisturizing,but too too haeavy for daytime,IMO.

I use this only on my face and have noticed neither tanning or sun spots. However, I generally use a foundation that contains additional sun protection, albeit not to the level of the Skinceuticals protection. I have found nothing else that gives me protection and that is so easy, comfortable to apply.

I have thrown away the night cream box but the active ingredients for the day cream are Avobenzone, Homosalate, Octinozate and Oxybenzone which all serve as a sunscreen. It contains various other ingredients, too mant to list here.

Hello Philip, It is optional whether you use a night cream after you have applied our Serum. It really depends on your skin condition - how oily or dry it is. You may find that you are perfectly okay to use it by itself.

No SPF protection in this cream. However, it is meant to be used at night as its regenerative properties work most effectively while you sleep.

That is just a sunblock. The title is wrong, it's not a moisturizer and sun screen. It's just sunscreen. See the actual product packaging. That one is also thicker in consistency if I remember correctly.

Haven't used for nighttime because of spf value. I want to save that for daytime.

The label on the hat indicated so, but not sure how to verify. I did wear a sun hat that wasn't labeled spf protected and can tell you this one is cooler on my headvand face.

Miss Leah, I replied but may have accidentally deleted. I use "night" creams during the day during these cold, dry days. I have not been disappointed.

No! This would be terrible is you are asking to use as a night cream. It's not anything that nourishes your skin, it fils in and smooths fine lines and wrinkles. It goes under makeup. It's not a skin care regimen.

No. There is no SPF listed. I assume its more of a moisturizer than a sunscreen.

I use this daily, so my best guess is that it still works with moisturizer and makeup. Its no problem putting it on after your moisturizer, but I don't apply makeup over it myself so I can't say for sure. The sunscreen definitely works great, if anything it works so well that it can make the skin close to my eyes extra sensitive to sun when I don't wear it. I hope that helped, I thought I'd go ahead and respond because I'm grateful to everyone who answers my questions.

I don't believe there is any SPF in the day cream. I use a foundation that has 20 SPF in it.

The pkg doesn't say if it's for day or night....so I was using it as both. I think Their Day & Night Creams with hyaluronic acid works better than this.

I'm on my 6th jar of this cream. I usually use at night, but being inside during winter season, I will use during day. I don't use it when I know I'm going out in the sun, on the boat, etc. Retinol should be used 1st, and then a good 30% sunscreen for face only, not for all over body. I am 63 years old, and people never believe me when I tell them that. They usually guess in late 40's, or even 50 years old. I love it. That means I'm looking younger by more than 10 years. Love it, and the price is so right. Hope they don't raise it.
