Ziaja might not yet sit on every bathroom shelf, but the Polish brand has quietly built a loyal following for wallet friendly formulas that feel far more luxurious than their price tags suggest. Its latest promise packed pot comes with the rather verbose title Jasmine Anti-Wrinkle Night Cream, a name that sounds like it could serenade fine lines to sleep all on its own.
According to Ziaja, this vegan friendly concoction relies on micro-collagen, red clover extract, calcium and a brightening factor to firm, smooth and even out tone, particularly for skin north of the half-century mark. The consistency is billed as rich yet suitable for nightly use, and the jar claims 95 percent natural origin ingredients.
I spent two full weeks slathering it over face and neck nightly, monitoring texture, elasticity and any glow worthy changes to see if it justifies a spot in your routine or if your money is better saved for something else.

What Is Jasmine Anti-Wrinkle Night Cream?
Jasmine Anti-Wrinkle Night Cream sits in the overnight treatment category, meaning it is designed to work while you sleep when skin is in repair mode and less exposed to environmental stressors. An overnight treatment tends to have a thicker texture and a higher concentration of actives than a day cream since there is no need to layer makeup or sunscreen on top. You apply it as the final step of your evening routine, let it absorb and allow the ingredients to get eight uninterrupted hours to do their job.
This particular formula targets mature skin aged 50 plus with a blend that includes micro-collagen to support firmness, red clover extract to help address elasticity, calcium for barrier support and what the brand calls an active brightening factor aimed at evening skin tone. It is vegan friendly, comprised of 95 percent ingredients of natural origin and comes in a standard 50 ml jar intended for nightly use across face and neck.
Did It Work?
In the name of very official home science I benched my usual overnight treatment for three nights before starting the Jasmine cream, giving my skin a clean slate and, frankly, letting me feel like I was running a controlled trial in my bathroom. Fourteen days felt long enough to spot real changes without drifting into placebo territory, so I stuck to the instructions: a pea size swipe warmed between fingers then patted over face and neck right before lights out.
Night one the texture felt comfortingly dense and the jasmine scent lingered just long enough to be pleasant rather than perfumey. It took a good five minutes to sink in and I woke up with a slight film that needed a thorough cleanse. No irritation, no redness, just a dewy finish that bordered on shiny.
By day four my skin felt cushioned and a touch firmer along the jawline. Fine lines around the mouth looked mildly softened after cleansing, though the effect faded by mid afternoon. The cream’s richness, however, started to clog pores along my nose so I dialed back the amount to half a pea and the congestion calmed within two nights.
Heading into the second week the promised brightening factor delivered a faint glow on the high points of my cheeks but the darker sun spots near my temples stayed exactly where they were. Elasticity gains plateaued; skin felt supported yet not remarkably tighter than with my regular moisturizer. I did appreciate the absence of any stinging or dryness despite the peptides and mild exfoliating extracts.
On the final morning my complexion was smooth, comfortably hydrated and maybe five percent plumper than baseline. Wrinkles had not miraculously melted, pigmentation was mostly unchanged and the overall lift sat firmly in the subtle category. So yes, it worked in that it nourished and gave a short term softness boost but it never quite reached the firming fireworks hinted at on the jar.
Would I add it to my permanent lineup? Probably not. It is a pleasant, affordable night cream that offers gentle support but it does not outperform the formula I usually rely on. If your skin craves a rich veil and you are new to peptide blends it merits a test run, otherwise the search for a truly transformative overnight hero continues.
Jasmine Anti-Wrinkle Night Cream’s Main Ingredients Explained
The jar leans heavily on a mix of peptides, botanical extracts and old-school occlusives to deliver its promised overnight support. First up is micro-collagen, listed here as palmitoyl tripeptide-1 and palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7, two signal peptides that nudge skin into making more of its own collagen. They are small enough to slip past the surface layer which is why they show up in many pro-aging formulas. Next comes red clover flower extract, a plant source rich in isoflavones that can mimic estrogen in a very mild way, potentially lending extra firmness to skin that has lost hormonal support after menopause. Calcium gluconate rounds out the headline act by helping fortify the skin barrier so water stays in and irritants stay out.
The unnamed “brightening factor” seems to be carried by Citrus unshiu peel extract plus a dash of jasmine oil. Both can offer gentle antioxidant action and may soften the look of sun spots over time, though in this concentration they behave more like supporting characters than leading stars. Hydration is handled by a trio of glycerin, sodium hyaluronate and methyl gluceth-20 which pull water into the upper layers giving that plumped morning look. To seal everything in, the formula relies on mineral oil, microcrystalline wax and hydrogenated vegetable oil. These create the rich cushiony feel but are also the reason the cream can sit on skin come sunrise.
Worth a mention: the cream is labeled vegan friendly so there are no animal-derived ingredients and vegetarians can use it without concern. On the comedogenic front canola oil and hydrogenated coco-glycerides have moderate pore-clogging scores while mineral oil is generally considered noncomedogenic despite its heavy texture. If you are acne prone remember that comedogenic simply means an ingredient has the potential to block pores leading to blackheads or breakouts. Patch testing is your best friend here.
Fragrance sits mid list which explains the soft jasmine scent. While pleasant it can be irritating for very sensitive skin. The recipe is free of retinoids, salicylic acid and high-level exfoliants, so from a pregnancy standpoint it looks gentle, yet every obstetrician will say the same thing: run any topical past your doctor first and err on the side of skipping it if there is doubt. Finally the high percentage of natural origin ingredients is nice but remember natural does not always equal safer; anyone with known citrus or floral sensitivities should patch test before diving in.
What I Liked/Didn’t Like
Here is the quick tally after two weeks of nightly use.
What Works Well:
- Luxurious rich texture that seals in moisture overnight
- Peptide blend offers mild plumping so fine lines look softer by morning
- Vegan friendly formula with a high natural ingredient count at an accessible price point
What to Consider:
- Rich occlusives may feel heavy on combination or breakout prone skin
- Brightening results are subtle so pigmentation spots may appear unchanged after short term use
- Residual film can linger come morning which calls for a more thorough cleanse
My Final Thoughts
Finding a night cream that feels like a bedside table MVP is trickier than it sounds: it needs to cushion the skin without clogging, deliver actives without irritation and preferably spark a little next-morning glow so you know it has been working while you counted sheep. After two weeks side-by-side with my usual rotation I can say Ziaja’s Jasmine Anti-Wrinkle Night Cream does several of those things respectably well. The texture is sumptuous, the peptide pairing offers a modest plump and the price is kind. What it does not do is vault past the competition or blitz pigmentation in the short term, which is why it lands a solid yet unspectacular 7/10.
Who will love it? Anyone with mature, drier skin that prefers a classic cold-cream comfort over a featherlight gel. Who might pass? Combination or congestion-prone complexions that dislike any residue at sunrise, plus those chasing swift dark-spot fade. I would recommend it to a friend whose skin fits the first description and whose budget sits comfortably in the high-street bracket. For my own shelf I am glad I tried it but the jar will live in the “nice backup” category rather than automatic repurchase territory.
If you finish the pot and crave something either more universal or a touch more high-performance I have a few tried-and-tested suggestions. Nocturnal Revive Cream by Deascal remains my go-to allrounder: balanced hydration, gentle peptides and a price that rarely spikes heart rates. When I want a bouncy, pillow-skin finish the Bouncy & Firm Sleeping Mask by LANEIGE does the job overnight with zero heaviness. If retinol is your love language the Intelligent Retinol Smoothing Night Cream from Medik8 delivers gradual resurfacing without the usual flake-fest. And for a spa-scented treat that leans into marine collagen the Pro-Collagen Night Cream by ELEMIS still sets a high bar for firmness.
A few housekeeping notes before you dive in (forgive me for sounding like the over-protective parent of your skincare drawer). Always patch test a new formula behind the ear or on the jaw for a couple of nights first. Keep expectations realistic: any firmness or brightness you win with continued use will slowly fade if you stop, just like gym gains. Finally remember that even the loveliest cream is only part of the puzzle so pair it with sunscreen, patience and perhaps a little eight-hour sleep whenever life allows.
