ABERA Belani Retinol Night Cream

Overview

A niacinamide, AHA and BHA night cream from Abera formulated for combination skin, aimed at smoothing uneven tone and fine lines overnight. Unscented and paraben free, made in the US, in a 1.01 fl oz size suited to a nightly step rather than a full regimen change.

The formula pairs niacinamide with AHA and BHA in one product, a more active mix than a plain moisturizer, so patch testing is worth doing before nightly use on combination skin. No added fragrance keeps it clear of scent sensitivities. There's no stated acid percentage or pH in the spec data, so how strong the exfoliation feels will vary by user.

• Niacinamide plus AHA and BHA actives
• Targets uneven tone and wrinkles
• Unscented, paraben free formula
• 1.01 fl oz size

Who it's for

Suits someone with combination skin who wants a single nightly product addressing tone and texture together instead of layering separate acid and brightening steps. Not aimed at sensitive or acne-prone skin needing a gentler routine, since an AHA/BHA combination can be more active than some skin tolerates nightly.

Pros and cons

Performance notes

Niacinamide is included for tone evening, while AHA and BHA together address surface texture and, in BHA's case, pore-level buildup. Applied at night, the actives work while skin isn't exposed to sun, though the product carries no SPF and daytime sun protection would still be needed separately.
