Exuviance® Night Corrector
Oily and blemish-prone skin ages. This is self-evident, but most skincare treats oily skin concerns and anti-ageing concerns as if they belong in entirely different product categories. Most anti-ageing night creams are too rich for oily skin and cause breakouts. Most oil-control products for oily skin deliver no meaningful anti-ageing benefit. The Exuviance Night Corrector bridges this gap.
A lightweight, oil-free night gel formulated specifically for oily and combination skin that delivers genuine AHA and PHA anti-ageing renewal overnight without the heaviness, greasiness or comedogenicity that makes most night treatments unsuitable for this skin type. Clinical evidence: 97% of users felt the gel was lightweight on the skin, 84% felt softer skin and 72% noticed improved radiance after 4 weeks. Designed for oily, combination and blemish-prone skin that needs overnight renewal without the penalties of a standard night cream.
Who Is It For?
- Oily, combination or blemish-prone skin that needs anti-ageing benefits without heaviness or comedogenicity
- Those wanting overnight AHA and PHA renewal in a lightweight gel texture
- Enlarged pores, uneven skin texture and surface oiliness needing overnight correction
- Those who have tried every night cream they can find and experienced breakouts or congestion
- Skin prone to periodic breakouts alongside visible signs of ageing
- Those on GLP-1 medications with oily skin experiencing skin quality changes during weight loss
How Does It Work?
Mandelic Acid, derived from bitter almonds, is a larger-molecule AHA that exfoliates overnight more gently than Glycolic Acid while delivering equivalent improvement in skin texture, reduction in oiliness and fading of post-blemish marks. Its larger molecular weight and lower irritation profile make it the appropriate AHA for daily overnight use on oily and blemish-prone skin. Gluconolactone PHA refines pore appearance, fades dark spots and helps rebuild the skin's moisture barrier overnight, providing a layer of barrier protection alongside the acid exfoliation. The Neem Leaf and Burdock Root botanical complex targets surface oiliness directly, balancing sebum production overnight without stripping or over-drying. The lightweight gel base absorbs cleanly and completely, leaving no residue.
Key Ingredients
- Mandelic Acid (AHA): A larger-molecule AHA derived from bitter almonds that exfoliates, smooths texture, reduces oiliness and fades post-blemish marks and hyperpigmentation overnight. Lower irritation risk than Glycolic Acid makes it appropriate for daily overnight use on blemish-prone skin without risk of over-exfoliation.
- Gluconolactone (PHA): Refines pore size, fades dark spots and helps rebuild the skin's moisture barrier overnight, providing a barrier-supportive counterbalance to the AHA exfoliation and maintaining skin comfort throughout.
- Neem Leaf and Burdock Root botanical complex: Targets surface oiliness directly, helping to balance overnight sebum production without over-drying or stripping the skin.

How We Use It at Face for Soul
As a pharmacist prescriber specialising in skin health, Night Corrector is my recommended evening moisturiser for oily and combination skin patients who have told me that every night cream they have tried has felt too heavy or caused breakouts. The oil-free, non-comedogenic gel formula is the only anti-ageing night treatment I know of that genuinely works for oily skin without compromise.
How to Use
Apply to cleansed skin on the face and neck each evening as the final step. Use after serum. Allow to absorb. Always apply SPF 30 or higher the following morning. Pair with: Exuviance 3-in-1 Clarifying Cleanser or Deep Clean AHA Cleanser as the preceding cleanser, Exuviance HydraPrep pH Balance Toner, and Exuviance Radiance Serum as the preceding serum step.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is it worth the money?
Night Corrector is the only clinically validated oil-free, non-comedogenic anti-ageing night gel in the Exuviance range, formulated specifically for oily and combination skin that cannot tolerate standard night creams. For patients who have previously been unable to find a night treatment that works for their skin type without causing breakouts, this product fills a genuine gap.
Will it clog pores?
No. Night Corrector is oil-free, non-comedogenic and non-acnegenic. It is specifically formulated for oily and blemish-prone skin.
Can I use it if I have both oily skin and fine lines?
Yes. Night Corrector is designed precisely for this combination, delivering AHA and PHA anti-ageing renewal in a format that does not cause the breakouts that standard anti-ageing night creams cause in oily skin.
Can I use it with tretinoin?
Use either Night Corrector or tretinoin on alternate evenings rather than simultaneously. The combined acid and retinoid activity may cause over-exfoliation if used on the same evening.
Do I need to use SPF after using it?
Yes. This product contains Mandelic Acid which may increase sun sensitivity. Apply broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher daily and for at least one week after use.
Is it pregnancy safe?
We always recommend consulting your midwife or obstetrician before starting new skincare during pregnancy. The Mandelic Acid content means we advise consulting before using during pregnancy.
Is it suitable for rosacea-prone skin?
Mandelic Acid is one of the better-tolerated AHAs for rosacea-prone skin due to its larger molecular weight and lower irritation profile. Start with 2 to 3 evenings per week and monitor tolerance before daily use.
Does it clog pores?
No. The formula is oil-free, non-comedogenic and specifically designed for pore-prone skin.
How long will one tube last?
Used nightly on the face and neck, a tube typically lasts 8 to 10 weeks.
Is it vegan?
Please contact us to confirm vegan status for this specific product as Exuviance formulations can vary.
Is it cruelty-free?
Yes. Exuviance does not test on animals.
