Dr.Ceuracle may not be a household name outside devoted K-beauty circles yet its growing legion of fans would argue it deserves the spotlight. The Seoul-based lab has a knack for squeezing serious science into silky textures and Hyal Reyouth Night Cream is its latest attempt at turning bedtime into a hydration boot camp.
The product name sounds like a marketing brainstorm that ran overtime but it does hint at the formula inside: six weights of hyaluronic acid teamed with vitamins B5 and B3 to drench skin, reinforce its barrier and theoretically leave you looking like you booked eight hours of sleep even if Netflix said otherwise. The brand also touts fructan for cell revival and a buffet of botanical extracts for glow insurance.
I spent two weeks applying the cream nightly, patting it in as directed, to see whether those promises translate from press release to pillowcase and whether it justifies its mid-range price tag.

What Is Hyal Reyouth Night Cream?
Hyal Reyouth Night Cream is an overnight treatment, a category of skincare designed to work while you sleep when skin is more receptive to active ingredients. Unlike day creams that focus on protection from UV and pollution, overnight formulas aim to replenish moisture, support repair cycles and bolster the barrier that can be compromised by daytime stressors.
This particular cream centers on hydration. It pairs six molecular weights of hyaluronic acid with vitamins B5 and B3, ingredients known for attracting water and reinforcing the skin’s surface. The formula also contains fructan, a form of fructose that the brand positions as a stimulant for skin cell turnover, plus a blend of botanical extracts intended to add a mild antioxidant boost.
The texture is marketed as rich enough to lock in moisture but light enough for all skin types, making it a one-step finishing layer after cleansing and serums. Applied at night as the final step of a routine, its job is to keep water loss in check and leave skin feeling supple by morning.
Did It Work?
To keep things very scientific I benched my usual overnight treatment three days before the test run so Hyal Reyouth could take the stage without interference. Fourteen nights felt like a fair window to judge any hydration hero so I slathered a blueberry-sized blob on damp skin after serum, then resisted further fiddling until morning.
Night one set the tone: the cream melted in faster than its balmy texture suggested leaving a satin finish that did not glue my cheeks to the pillowcase. By sunrise my face felt pleasantly cushioned and looked faintly dewy, nothing life-altering yet certainly comfortable. The real tell came around lunch when the post-shower plumpness usually deflates; on that first day it held up better than usual though my driest patches still whispered for a mist.
Midweek the pattern stabilized. Each morning brought soft smooth skin with a mild bounce, as if a thin hydrating veil had been laid down. However any promised “revitalized glow” proved shy. I clocked no dramatic brightening and my fine lines looked more politely blurred than truly minimized. On the upside there were zero clogged pores or fragrance-related tantrums even across a humid weekend.
By day fourteen results had plateaued. My skin was consistently well-hydrated overnight and marginally plumper at dawn yet the effect faded within hours and the overall complexion shift was subtle. Vitamins B3 and B5 likely chipped in some quiet barrier support because I noticed less tightness after washing but the fructan-fuelled youthful vibrance stayed mostly on the label.
So did it work? If the brief was to deliver a comfortable night’s hydration the cream passes with a solid if unspectacular grade. It did not quite earn permanent residency in my routine, mainly because equally quenching formulas live on my shelf at a lower price point. Still, for hydration purists seeking a fuss-free K-beauty option Hyal Reyouth is a dependable if not destiny-changing pick.
Main Ingredients Explained
The headline act is that sextet of hyaluronic acids in varying molecular weights: classic sodium hyaluronate and its crosspolymer sit on the surface to trap water while smaller units like hydrolyzed and acetylated hyaluronic acid dive deeper for longer-lasting plumpness. They work best alongside the humectants already in the pot, namely glycerin dipropylene glycol and trehalose, which pull moisture from the environment so skin wakes up looking well watered rather than greasy.
Niacinamide (vitamin B3) takes the role of quiet multitasker, supporting barrier lipids, softening fine lines and dialing down uneven tone over time. It is paired with panthenol (vitamin B5) a classic soothing agent that also helps skin hold on to water. Polyquaternium-51 and beta-glucan bring additional moisture binding and calm any redness that tries to crash the party.
Dr.Ceuracle sprinkles in a buffet of botanical extracts: laminaria japonica for a touch of marine minerals, artichoke leaf said to tighten pores, ginseng root for antioxidant punch and eclipta prostrata to soothe. Fructan and fructooligosaccharides are prebiotic sugars that can encourage a healthy microbiome although evidence in leave-on skincare is still young. Adenosine rounds things off with gentle wrinkle smoothing claims validated in South Korean studies.
On the emollient side macadamia and olive oils plus hydrogenated polydecene make the texture glide and seal moisture but those rich oils can clog pores in acne-prone skin. In comedogenic terms (a scale predicting pore-blocking potential) they score around 2-3 out of 5 so blemish-prone users may want a patch test first. Silicones like cyclopentasiloxane and phenyl trimethicone add slip yet are non-comedogenic and easily washed away.
The ingredient list is free of animal derivatives so the formula appears suitable for vegans and vegetarians, though the jar lacks an official certification logo. It is also free of ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate retinoids or strong exfoliating acids making it broadly pregnancy friendly, however dermatologists advise expecting parents to clear any topical with their physician especially products containing fragrance which can heighten sensitivity.
Preservatives lean on gentle multifunctional agents such as 1,2-hexanediol and ethylhexylglycerin rather than parabens. The inclusion of parfum may be a deal breaker for the very sensitive yet during my test it stayed subtle and did not linger past application. Overall the INCI reads like a hydration playbook with a few rich oils as the only red flag for congestive skin types.
What I Liked/Didn’t Like
Here’s the quick rundown of highs and hurdles after two weeks of nightly use.
What Works Well:
- Cushiony gel cream texture sinks in fast leaving a breathable satin finish
- Provides reliable overnight hydration so skin feels plump and calm at dawn
- Layers cleanly over serums with zero pilling or greasiness
- Fragrance is faint and did not provoke redness or stinging
- Formula is vegan friendly and free of strong actives making it easy to slot into most routines
What to Consider:
- The hydration bump tapers off by midday so dry skin may crave a heavier follow up
- Macadamia and olive oils could be too occlusive for acne prone or very oily types
- Price sits on the steeper side for a product that focuses mainly on moisture
My Final Thoughts
A good night cream is like a sleepover friend for your face: you want someone dependable but not so clingy you wake up feeling smothered. Hyal Reyouth behaved politely during its two week stay, kept the conversation flowing with solid hydration and left before breakfast without any mess. After years of rotating jars and tubes I feel I gave this one a fair shot and the verdict lands at a respectable 7/10. I would recommend it to a friend who values uncomplicated moisture, enjoys a luxe gel cream texture and is not chasing dramatic brightening or wrinkle rewrites. If your skin is desert dry or congestion prone you might either need a heftier occlusive on top or a lighter formula altogether, so sample before splurging.
For anyone window shopping here are a few alternatives I have used and loved. Deascal’s Nocturnal Revive Cream is that rare crowd pleaser that hydrates, soothes and lightly firms at a friendlier price point. If you crave a peptide hug with a slightly silkier finish Medik8 Advanced Night Restore is a great pick for normal to combination skin. Laneige Cica Sleeping Mask comes to the rescue on irritated evenings when barrier repair is priority number one. Those who like a richer cushion without heaviness might gravitate toward First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Hydra-Firm Night Cream which marries ceramides with colloidal oatmeal for serious overnight comfort.
Before you send any new product on a sleepover please patch test on a discreet area and watch for 24 hours, yes I know I sound like an over-protective parent but your skin will thank you. Remember results rely on consistent use; one-night stands rarely build a lasting relationship so keep the routine steady if you want that morning-after glow to stick around.
