1. Kiehl's Midnight Recovery Oil with moisturizing botanicals and oils like lavender, evening primrose, and squalane. It's designed to replenish your skin overnight. Wake up to skin that looks more radiant and less-tired so you can brag you woke up like that.
I have been using this oil for six years now. I started using it while I was pregnant and my skin looked different. It didn't look refreshed even after a full night of sleep. I discovered this oil and was hesitant to try it because of the price, but with so many good reviews, I decided to give it a go. I didn't expect to see results so fast! After just a few nights, my skin looked like it was glowing! Everyone kept asking what I was doing differently and I quickly shared this miracle in a bottle with them. I never stopped using it and it's the one thing in my routine I haven't changed. I'm so happy there's now a matching night cream and eye cream to go along with this too now.
Get it from Kiehl's or Sephora for $29+ (available in four sizes).
2. Colgate Optic White Overnight Teeth Whitening Pen for stained or yellow teeth, featuring a precision brush for easy application so you can wake up to whiter and brighter teeth. Reviewers are loving this because "it's effective and easy to use." Remove years of stains in just one week!
The reviewer pictures above show results after just one night!
Promising review: "SO happy I decided to try this. It seemed kinda ridiculous honestly, a teeth whitening pen? Ooook. After doing strips and trays for years on and off I figured what’s the worst that can happen? I’m out like thirty bucks if it sucks? Whatever. I gotta say I’m pleasantly surprised. I LOVED the idea that I can just paint it on at night and go to sleep, not waiting a half hour like the strips then peeling them off and brushing. After the first application I was pleasantly surprised in the morning to notice a subtle difference in shade. By application four my teeth were noticeably brighter. Definite downside is the clumping of the product on the bristles. I used an alcohol pad after each use. It seemed to do the trick. 10/10 would buy again. Totally worth it for convenience and obvious results alone." —A.S.
Get it from Amazon for $22 (available in one and two packs of 35 treatments).
3. Moroccanoil hair treatment because it has over 50 thousand 5-star ratings. Reviewers are leaving it in overnight to work its magic. Infused with argon oil, this treatment detangles and conditions hair while also boosting shine and reducing frizz.
This hair oil works on all hair types, is fast-absorbing, and free of sulfates, SLS, SLES, parabens, and formaldehydes.
Promising reviews: "I love this hair treatment. I use it at night for an overnight treatment and during the day before styling my hair. My hair looks healthy all the time! I no longer use any other treatments. It is great right after you color or highlight your hair, because it restores it to perfectly shiny! The more you use it, the less product you need, because your hair stays looking healthy. I only use a very small amount now — about the size of a dime!" —KH
"Smells really good. Moisturizes my 4c hair very well. Promotes healthy feeling and looking hair." —Olivia M.
Get it from Amazon for $16+ (available in two sizes and a set).
4. Kiehl's Lip Buttermask for dried and chapped lips, infused with fair-trade coconut oil, wild mango butter, and shea butter. It repairs your pout, making it smoother and softer while you get some shut-eye.
I only purchased this because I needed to spend a few more dollars to qualify for a freebie. I grabbed this from the counter expecting it to be just a few dollars because it's so small. I was shocked that it's was actually $26. I decided I'd give it a try but didn't really expect too much. I fully expected that I might have to return it for a refund. I put it on right before bed and went to sleep. When I woke up, I realized my lips felt softer than they ever had and they were not dry at all. My lips even looked healthier. I have been using it every night since.
5. Or Burt's Bees overnight Intensive Lip Treatment if you're looking for a more affordable option. With over 3,500 5-star ratings, this all-natural balm will have you waking up to softer, smoother, and more moisturized lips.
Promising review: "I bought this product because I trust the name. If you are having problems with chapped lips and sore corners of your mouth, apply this every night before you go to sleep and your lips will heal. I have tried other products and they feel good going on, but they don't solve the problem like the medicated balm by Burt's Bees! It's worth the money!" —Shannon M.
Get it from Amazon for $9.02.
6. Yes To Tomatoes Detoxifying Overnight Moisturizer that reviewers are saying really helps with acne-prone skin. This moisturizer is made with tomato extract and charcoal and it's cruelty-free and vegan. With its powerhouse blend that includes nourishing oils and butters, it can prevent new acne from forming while you sleep.
Promising review: "I really like this overnight moisturizer for acne-prone skin. It comes out gray in color but my skin soaks it up. It has a very light scent that I like. It does have salicylic acid in it (0.5%), so be sure to test it out on one area before using it on larger affected areas. It can dry your skin out or make it feel irritated if you’re sensitive to salicylic acid. My skin gets hormonal breakouts, and I had a bunch of new zits forming around my chin the other day (thanks to also wearing a mask more often lately). I used this one night and woke up to my skin looking much healthier and less inflamed. My skin was also supple, plumper, and hydrated. I HIGHLY recommend this!" —Sarah
Get it from Amazon for $14.49.

I got the lavender and yarrow and the scent is not overpowering either — just right!" —Mariah

Promising review: "I am really picky about my nighttime moisturizers, and this one is 10/10 for me. Perfect consistency, little/no fragrance, and everything I want out of an overnight cream. My skin always looks balanced and refreshed in the morning, and when I don’t use this consistently I notice the dullness in my skin." —Katej34

Promising review: "Hands-down these are the best curlers I’ve ever used! Right after I write this review I’m throwing away my curling rods! These cloth rollers are incredibly comfortable to sleep in and the results are beautiful and lasts all day! I have a lot of hair and one pack of 30 works great for me! I try to use almost every single one to get more curls going. After I place them in I put my satin cap on to keep my curls in place overnight." —Raven

It's specifically formulated to work with your skin's nighttime regenerative cycle to improve the appearance of scars by making them appear smoother, smaller, and less noticable while locking in moisture and collagen.
Promising review: "This is my second order of the Mederma PM Intensive Overnight Cream. I had major surgery on my leg in 2/2022 and began using it on the incision when it closed. The long incision scar has greatly diminished. I am continuing to use the cream because it is making a difference. This makes about 4 1/2 months now, and I am still seeing improvement, so I will continue to use it." —Margaret A.

I couldn’t stop touching it the next day. And the scent is lovely. You only use a tiny bit too so this little bottle will probably contain at least 50 applications. Maybe more. I like this brand." —Deborah

I put them on at night, and when I remove it the next morning, there’s gunk from my pimples on the sticker, and my zits have gotten much flatter, and I suffer from cystic acne pretty bad. Definitely recommend!" —Alicia
