b.pure may not have the cachet of legacy skincare houses, yet its knack for turning bargain aisle picks into pleasant surprises has earned a quiet cult following. The brand’s wallet-friendly ethos pairs nicely with a commitment to cruelty-free formulas, giving budget shoppers reason to look twice.
Enter the rather grandly named Revitalizing Hydrating Night Cream. The title promises a whole spa menu in a single jar, and the brand claims it will tuck skin in with niacinamide, SPF protection and vitamin E while you sleep. Big talk for a dollar-store find.
I spent two full weeks massaging this cream into my face every night, monitoring hydration, texture and that morning-after glow to see if it can really punch above its price tag and earn a spot on the bedside table.

What Is Revitalizing Hydrating Night Cream?
Revitalizing Hydrating Night Cream is a budget priced moisturizer from B.Pure, the in-house beauty label found at Dollar Tree. Marketed as a cruelty-free formula, it combines niacinamide, vitamin E and a modest level of SPF into a single jar meant for nightly use.
The cream belongs to the overnight treatment category—products designed to work while skin is in its natural repair mode during sleep. Because cell turnover and trans-epidermal water loss both peak at night, leaving something occlusive and nutrient rich on the skin can reinforce the barrier and minimize morning dryness. In theory, an overnight treatment allows ingredients more time to penetrate without the interference of makeup, sunscreen or environmental stressors.
B.Pure’s offering aims to simplify a multi-step routine for anyone who wants a single, inexpensive product to address moisture plus a touch of active care. At just a dollar a pot, it positions itself as an accessible entry point for curious beginners who may not yet be ready to invest in higher priced formulas.
Did It Work?
In the name of very serious skincare science I benched my usual overnight mask for three full days before starting this test drive. Fourteen nights felt like a fair window to judge any short term changes so I slathered a nickel-sized dollop onto freshly cleansed skin from hairline to collarbone then hit the pillow.
Night one was promising. The cream has a whipped yet slightly powdery texture that melts into a satin finish within a minute. My face felt comfortably cushioned rather than greasy and I woke up with zero tightness around my cheeks, a spot that normally drinks moisture like a cactus. So far so good.
By the end of the first week the hydration boost had plateaued. Skin still felt soft to the touch yet that springy post-facial bounce I get from my regular peptide formula never quite showed up. I also noticed a faint white cast on the nights I layered more generously, likely the titanium dioxide doing its SPF duty despite the sun being long gone. Not a deal breaker yet hardly dreamy for darker skin tones.
Week two revealed the trade-offs. Niacinamide usually calms the mild redness around my nose but here the concentration seems low; any improvement was subtle at best. On the bright side I experienced no breakouts or clogged pores despite the dimethicone and mineral sunscreen, which is impressive for a budget jar. The occlusive layer locked in moisture through several heater-blasting cold snaps yet left a slightly waxy feel that made me reach for micellar water first thing in the morning.
So did it deliver? Partially. Revitalizing Hydrating Night Cream kept my skin comfortably hydrated and didn’t irritate but it fell short on the brighter smoother promise hinted at by the niacinamide label. I will gladly finish the pot on my neck and hands yet I won’t be swapping it into my permanent nighttime lineup unless my bank account begs for mercy.
Revitalizing Hydrating Night Cream’s Main Ingredients Explained
The backbone of this formula is a classic hydration trio: water for fluidity, glycerin to pull and hold moisture in the skin and cetearyl alcohol to give that plush, cushiony feel. Layered on top of that is niacinamide, the ingredient highlighted on the label. At this mid-jar placement it is probably sitting around 2 percent, enough for mild barrier support and a shy reduction in redness yet not quite at the concentration that visibly brightens tone within two weeks.
To seal the deal B.Pure leans on a cluster of emollient esters such as ethylhexyl palmitate, isopropyl myristate and dimethicone. These slip nicely over the skin and create the soft satin finish I noticed on night one. Of the three, isopropyl myristate carries a high comedogenic rating which means it can clog pores for those who are acne prone. Ethylhexyl palmitate is moderately comedogenic, dimethicone is not. If your skin throws tantrums at rich creams patch test first.
Titanium dioxide shows up as the physical sunscreen agent that gives the jar its minor SPF claim. It is inert, gentle and pregnancy friendly yet it also explains the faint white cast when I layer heavily. Including SPF in a night product feels redundant although the mineral particles do lend some bonus occlusion which can slow overnight water loss.
Panthenol (pro-vitamin B5) and tocopheryl acetate (vitamin E) round out the nurturing side of the formula by soothing minor irritation and scavenging free radicals created during the day. Their concentrations are modest but welcome on a budget shelf.
Preservation is handled by phenoxyethanol, ethylhexylglycerin and hydroxyacetophenone. Together they fend off bacteria without parabens and keep the cream shelf stable for 12 months after opening. Polyacrylamide, xanthan gum and tapioca starch control viscosity so the texture stays whipped not runny even in a steamy bathroom.
No animal-derived ingredients appear on the INCI list so the cream is suitable for vegetarians and most vegans, though strict users may want assurance that cross-contamination is avoided during manufacturing. Ingredient wise the formula is generally pregnancy safe, but anyone expecting or nursing should still clear new topicals with a doctor out of an abundance of caution. If you struggle with clogged pores note the presence of isopropyl myristate and ethylhexyl palmitate and remember “comedogenic” simply means the potential to block pores and trigger breakouts especially in oily or acne prone skin.
What I Liked/Didn’t Like
Here is the quick hit list after two weeks of nightly use.
What Works Well:
- Cushiony texture sinks in fast so pillows stay clean
- Delivers steady overnight hydration even during heater season
- Layers well with serums so can pinch hit as a daytime moisturizer in a hurry
What to Consider:
- Low niacinamide content means brightening results are modest
- Titanium dioxide leaves a subtle white cast when applied generously which may show on deeper skin tones
- Rich emollients like isopropyl myristate could feel heavy for acne prone complexions
My Final Thoughts
After two weeks in my nightly rotation Revitalizing Hydrating Night Cream settles comfortably into the respectable middle of the pack. It is a reliable hydrator that asks almost nothing of your wallet yet also gives very little beyond basic cushioning and a faint nod to niacinamide. At 7/10 it is the kind of jar I would press into the hands of a broke college cousin or anyone whose primary concern is stopping their face from feeling like parchment by sunrise. If you are chasing transformative brightness, firming or that elusive lit-from-within bounce you will want to keep shopping.
In truth I have tested more overnight treatments than I care to admit so I feel confident that I gave this budget pot a fair shot. It behaved, never clogged my pores and even survived the radiator test yet I was never dazzled. I would recommend it to a friend only if they value price first and have normal to slightly dry skin. Oily or acne-prone types may find the richer esters too heavy while those with deep complexions might side-eye the titanium dioxide veil.
If you decide the dollar store thrill is not for you I can vouch for a few stand-ins that punch higher. Nocturnal Revive Cream by Deascal is my current workhorse: a silky allrounder that balances hydration, gentle actives and a price that will not provoke your bank app. For a sensorial treat Superfood Midnight Facial by ELEMIS wraps skin in a light souffle finish and leaves me glowing by breakfast. When my barrier feels fragile Squalane + Ectoin Overnight Rescue by BIOSSANCE brings calming relief without heaviness. Finally on sultry summer nights I swap to Water Sleeping Mask by LANEIGE which delivers a weightless water burst and zero pillow stickiness. I have emptied each of these and can attest that they cover different needs while still respecting a mid-range budget.
Before you slather anything new on your face remember the basics: patch test behind the ear or along the jaw first, give the formula at least a fortnight of consistent use and manage expectations because skincare is a marathon not a sprint. Sorry to sound like an over-protective parent but your epidermis will thank you. Results fade when you slack off so whichever jar you choose keep up the nightly date if you want the glow to stick around.
