The addition of rose geranium and mandarin essential oils adds to the sensorial experience soothing the mind and body in preparation for sleep.

Omorovicza Midnight Renewal, $311If you love the anti-ageing benefits of retinol but you don't love the irritation it can often cause, then reach for this night-time serum that includes two retinol alternatives.

Medik8 Sleep Glycolic, $95As the name suggests, glycolic acid is the real MVP when it comes to this at-home overnight peel. Used here in a 10 per cent concentration, this AHA works to chemically exfoliate and resurface skin for a more even-toned complexion.

Caudalie Vinoperfect Dark Spot Correcting Glycolic Night Cream, $88This night cream/overnight peel hybrid serves double duty to gently revise away dark spots, while moisturising and restoring radiance to the fresh skin underneath.

Kate Somerville KateCeuticals Resurfacing Overnight Peel, $149Preparing for a big event? This small but seriously good tube is said to deliver a glassy-looking complexion after a single application.
