Interesting. I'm not one to buy into snake-oil so easily, but they seemed to have a solid history....and the stuff is made in Germany (as many other quality things), so I gave them the "benefit of the doubt". What I do know for sure is that the products I'm using work phenomenally.

Excerpt:

Skip the night cream; your skin will thank you.

While you sleep your skin is actually hard at work regenerating itself, balancing oil production and expelling impurities. Regular application of night creams interferes with these essential tasks, and over time skin becomes less able to care for itself. Covering the skin with moisturizer 24 hours a day sends a signal to sebaceous glands to cut down on moisture production, resulting in even drier skin that becomes dependent on moisturizing products just to appear “normal.”



----> Joe here, this seems to make sense....but as with most things, it might not be a universal truth

Thanks for posting the full text, Joe! But this can't be true in my case as I had to start using moisturizers because the skin didn't recover by itself over night - and still doesn't.
