# Retinol-Free Overnight Creams Pure Night's Moth Bean Seed Extract Works Like a Retinol Alternative By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2020-03-02 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pure-night References: [wellandgood](https://www.wellandgood.com/good-looks/moth-bean-extract-for-skin/) & [dermalogica](https://www.dermalogica.ca/on/demandware.store/Sites-dermalogica-ca-Site/en_CA/Product-Show?pid=199&start=1&q=night) As much as retinol is loved for its ability to reduce fine lines and wrinkles, stimulate the production of collagen and promote cellular turnover, the Vitamin A derivative is just too harsh for some people to handle—which makes products like [Dermalogica's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/multivitamin-power-recovery-cream) Pure Night all the more appealing. In place of retinol, the nourishing overnight treatment cream features a [natural alternative](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bakuchiol-plumping-capsule-cream) called moth bean seed extract. This powerful ingredient is joined by other brightening and hydrating ingredients like Vitamin C, pumpkin enzymes and bird of paradise seed extract. The retinol-free cream is a perfect nighttime moisturizer for those with sensitive skin, and it offers a simple way to tackle everything from dark spots to uneven skin tone during sleep, especially alongside other products from the [PowerBright](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dark-spot-peel) TRx system.
