Biovène Barcelona may not flash across billboards like some heavyweight beauty houses yet those who keep an eye on clean skincare circles know the brand quietly delivers thoughtful formulas that punch above their price tags. Their new overnight treatment, playfully titled Hyaluronic Night Glow, sounds like it should come with its own disco ball but in reality the promise is simple: slip on a silky cream before bed and wake to skin that feels deeply hydrated, visibly firmer and softly lit from within.
The brand calls out a hydrating cocktail led by hyaluronic acid supported by niacinamide, avocado, cannabis oil and aloe vera, all housed in a 95 percent natural cruelty free base stripped of the usual cosmetic bad guys. On paper it reads like a greatest hits album of modern skincare buzzwords.
To find out whether the glow lives up to its name I spent a full two weeks using Hyaluronic Night Glow as my only night cream, tracking texture changes, plumpness and any new sparkle in the mirror each morning. Below is what I discovered, what impressed me and where the formula fell short of perfection.

What Is Hyaluronic Night Glow?
Hyaluronic Night Glow is an overnight treatment, meaning it is designed to work while you sleep when skin naturally shifts into repair mode. These leave-on products typically deliver higher concentrations of active ingredients than a day cream and rely on the uninterrupted hours of the night to help those actives penetrate without interference from sun, makeup or environmental stressors.
This particular formula focuses on moisture retention and barrier support. Hyaluronic acid, a molecule capable of holding many times its weight in water, sits at the core to draw hydration into the upper layers of the skin. Supporting players include niacinamide for brightening and oil control, avocado and cannabis seed oils for fatty acid nourishment and aloe vera for soothing relief.
Biovène Barcelona positions the cream in the clean beauty space: 95 percent of the ingredients are of natural origin, the product is cruelty free and it avoids parabens, sulfates, mineral oil and several other common additives. The brand states that consistent nightly use should leave skin looking plumper firmer and more luminous, with a softer appearance of fine lines.
Suitable for dry, normal and combination skin types, Hyaluronic Night Glow falls into the mid-weight category of night creams. It aims to act as a one-step evening routine for anyone seeking hydration plus a modest anti-aging boost without layering multiple serums.
Did It Work?
In the spirit of rigorous skincare science I shelved my trusted night cream for three full days before starting Hyaluronic Night Glow so my face was a blank canvas. Very official lab coat vibes, minus the lab coat. Fourteen nights felt like a fair window to judge performance so the experiment began.
Each evening I smoothed a blueberry sized dab over freshly cleansed skin, massaging upward as the instructions suggest. The cream feels cushiony but not greasy and soaks in within a minute leaving a soft satin finish. On nights one through three I woke to pleasantly dewy cheeks yet nothing dramatic. The hydration was real though, especially around my typically flaky nose where foundation usually catches by noon.
Midweek I started noticing how well makeup sat the next morning. Fine lines at the corners of my mouth looked a touch less etched and my skin held on to moisture through an air conditioned workday. Still, the promised overnight brightness was subtle. Any glow seemed more like healthy moisturization than a true lit from within effect.
By day ten firmness claims showed modest results. Pressing a fingertip into my cheek left a lighter indentation compared to baseline and the bounciness lasted until evening. However the cream never fully tackled a pair of faint forehead lines that act as my personal progress bar. They softened a hair but remained visible under overhead light.
End of trial verdict: Hyaluronic Night Glow delivers reliable hydration and a slight plumping boost, particularly useful for combo or winter stressed skin. It meets most of its claims but stops short of wow level transformation. I enjoyed the texture and the clean ingredient roster yet when the jar empties I will probably return to my regular overnight treatment that layers higher actives. If Hydration Plus with a side of gentle glow is all you need this could be a worthy addition, for my routine it earns respectful applause but not a permanent spot on the shelf.
Main Ingredients Explained
Front and center sits sodium hyaluronate, the salt form of hyaluronic acid that is small enough to slip between skin cells and trap impressive amounts of water. Think of it as a microscopic sponge that swells overnight then deflates slowly during the day to keep skin comfortably cushioned. Partnering that water magnet is 5 percent niacinamide (judging by its INCI placement) which can help fade uneven tone, strengthen the barrier and even calm redness over time.
The cream leans on a trio of plant oils for lipid support: sunflower, avocado and cannabis sativa seed. Sunflower and cannabis are light, rich in linoleic acid and generally friendly to breakout-prone faces while avocado is heavier with a comedogenic rating around 3. In plain speak a comedogenic ingredient is one that may clog pores and trigger bumps if your skin is already oily or acne sensitive so patch testing is smart.
Aloe vera juice, chamomile and comfrey root extract round out the soothing faction delivering polyphenols plus allantoin to calm post-cleansing irritation. Panthenol and urea add yet another layer of humectant hydration making the formula especially comforting in dry climates or during winter heating season.
The texture owes its slip to dimethicone, a silicone that forms a breathable film helping water stay put without suffocating skin. If you avoid silicones on principle take note though dermatologists widely consider them non comedogenic and safe for sensitive types.
No animal-derived materials pop up in the INCI so Hyaluronic Night Glow ticks the vegan and vegetarian boxes. It is also free of parabens, sulfates and mineral oil aligning with Biovène’s clean beauty stance. Fragrance is included toward the end of the list which may pose a concern for reactive skin although the scent is faint and dissipates quickly.
Pregnancy considerations: the formula skips retinoids and salicylic acid yet conservative practice says always clear any new topical with your doctor when expecting or nursing. Phenoxyethanol, the preservative used here, is approved in leave-on cosmetics up to 1 percent but your healthcare provider should have the final word.
One last callout: glucosamine sulfate appears mid list, an under-the-radar booster shown in some studies to aid hyaluronic acid synthesis and brighten dull tone. It is a nice inclusion rarely seen at this price point and helps explain the subtle firmness I noticed by week two.
What I Liked/Didn’t Like
Here is the quick rundown after two weeks:
What Works Well:
- Cushiony texture sinks in fast so it layers easily over serums without pilling
- Reliable overnight hydration kept flaky spots quiet and helped makeup glide in the morning
- Subtle plumping effect around laugh lines gives skin a fresher look without feeling heavy
- Ingredient list reads impressively clean at this price point and ticks vegan plus cruelty free boxes
- Light botanical scent fades quickly which makes the ritual feel pleasant yet unobtrusive
What to Consider:
- Results lean more soothing than transformative so intensive anti aging seekers may want stronger actives
- Avocado oil could feel rich for oily or acne prone skin in humid climates
- Jar packaging means dipping fingers nightly so using a spatula is smart for hygiene
My Final Thoughts
Hyaluronic Night Glow feels a bit like that dependable friend who never forgets to bring snacks to movie night: solid company, rarely steals the spotlight but you miss them when they are gone. After two weeks I can confirm the cream quenches thirsty patches, lends a hint of bounce and makes makeup behave. The overnight disco promised in the marketing copy translates in real life to a subtle healthy sheen rather than full-on strobe lights, so keep expectations realistic and you will likely be pleased. On my personal scale it lands at a respectable 7/10.
Who will love it? Normal through mildly dry skin types that crave straightforward hydration without the drama of potent acids or retinoids. Who might shrug? Anyone chasing aggressive wrinkle-smoothing results or those who prefer fragrance-free everything. I would recommend it to a friend who complains about morning tightness or flakiness but I would steer my ingredient-collector pals toward something stronger.
Speaking of options, if you want an alternative tour I have tried more overnight formulas than I care to admit. Nocturnal Revive Cream by Deascal is my reigning allrounder: velvety feel, barrier-loving lipids and a price tag that does not make the credit card weep. For a pillow-proof gel texture that practically airbrushes dullness while you snooze, LANEIGE Water Sleeping Mask remains tough to beat. And if you fancy adding a whisper of retinol without waking up to a peeling disaster, Medik8 Intelligent Retinol Smoothing Night Cream offers a gentle gateway into the vitamin A club.
Before you slather anything new from jawline to hairline, spare a postage-stamp patch on your inner arm for 24 hours—sorry for sounding like an overprotective parent but reactions are no joke. Remember too that hydration highs fade once you stop using the product so if you love the results be ready to keep the jar in rotation.
