Revuele may not enjoy the household recognition of some luxury counters yet skincare enthusiasts know it for wallet friendly formulas that punch above their price tag. The brand’s latest mouthful of a launch, Hydralift Hyaluron Night Cream-Fluid, sounds part sci-fi gadget part spa promise and arrives with bold claims of plumping hydration and wrinkle reduction while you sleep.
According to Revuele the cream blankets skin in pure hyaluronic acid, encourages fibroblast activity, locks in moisture and calms irritation so that by morning even deep lines appear softened and the complexion looks fresh and rested.
I spent a full two weeks massaging it into a cleansed face and neck nightly to see how well those promises translate in real life and whether the texture rich fluid justifies a spot on your bedside table and a dent in your skincare budget.

What Is Hydralift Hyaluron Night Cream-Fluid?
This product is an overnight treatment, meaning it is designed to sit on the skin while you sleep rather than be rinsed off. Overnight formulas take advantage of the skin’s natural nocturnal repair cycle when cell turnover and permeability are higher, allowing active ingredients a longer window to work.
Hydralift Hyaluron Night Cream-Fluid is a lightweight cream fortified with sodium hyaluronate, the salt form of hyaluronic acid. The idea is to create a superficial film that slows water loss while drawing extra moisture into the epidermis. Revuele pairs that with shea butter, mineral oil and triglycerides that act as occlusives and emollients, aiming to cushion the barrier and reduce the feeling of tightness. Allantoin is included to soothe signs of redness and discomfort, and a modest amount of fragrance gives it a cosmetic finish.
In summary, this is a budget friendly night cream promising deeper hydration and a temporary smoothing effect on fine lines by supporting the skin’s water balance and surface comfort during the hours you are asleep.
Did It Work?
In the name of skincare science I benched my usual overnight treatment for three days before starting Hydralift Hyaluron Night Cream-Fluid, a move I felt deserved at least a lab coat. Fourteen nights struck me as a fair window to judge claims of deeper hydration and wrinkle softening.
I applied two pumps each evening to damp skin after cleanser and a bland toner. The fluid spreads easily, somewhere between a lotion and a light cream, and leaves a dewy film that stays slightly tacky for about ten minutes. Night one my skin felt cushioned but not smothered, a pleasant surprise given the mineral oil and shea butter high up the list. By morning the surface looked calm with no dry patches around my nose, though any fine line blurring faded after my first cleanse.
Nights two to five delivered similar results. Hydration was consistent, redness on my cheeks dipped and I woke with a comfortable barrier. The fragrance never irritated yet it lingers just long enough to notice, worth flagging for sensitive noses. I did develop a single congested bump on my chin though I can’t swear the cream was the culprit.
The midpoint of the trial is where expectations met reality. Lines across my forehead appeared slightly softer at a glance, mostly thanks to the plumpness that comes from good water retention. Deeper creases beside my mouth looked unchanged. Texture wise my skin felt smoother when I skipped makeup, but foundation still settled into the usual spots which tells me the lifting promise is more cosmetic than structural.
By the final three nights the novelty had worn off yet performance remained steady. No new irritation, no flaky patches and my skin held its moisture through a blast of central heating. On the flip side I never saw the dramatic rejuvenation the marketing copy suggests. The cream is competent, affordable and friendly but it did not edge out my staple peptide night mask.
So did it work? It quenched my combination skin, tamped down mild redness and offered a temporary soft focus on fine lines, ticking enough boxes for a 7 out of 10. Would I buy a full-size bottle for my personal rotation? Probably not, though I would recommend it to anyone seeking basic overnight hydration on a budget.
Main Ingredients Explained
The star here is sodium hyaluronate, the smaller salt form of hyaluronic acid that pulls water into the skin surface and holds it there. In practical terms that means a quick hit of plumpness which softens shallow lines while you sleep. Because this molecule is naturally found in skin it is generally well tolerated, though it works best when there is some water to bind so applying the cream to slightly damp skin is smart.
Shea butter follows as the chief emollient, lending overnight cushioning and a dose of fatty acids that fortify the lipid barrier. It is a rich butter ranked around 0–2 on the comedogenic scale, fairly low risk for breakouts yet worth monitoring if you are extremely clog prone. Mineral oil and caprylic/capric triglyceride join the occlusive team forming a light seal that slows TEWL (transepidermal water loss). Mineral oil scores a 0–1 for comedogenicity in most studies but can feel heavy on oily zones so patch testing is your friend.
Glyceryl stearate, cetearyl alcohol and the Ceteareth emulsifier duo give the fluid its silky texture, keeping water and oil phases happily married. Dimethicone adds the signature silicone slip that helps foundation glide the next morning and also provides a breathable barrier against irritants. Allantoin sits further down the list yet still contributes calming and keratolytic benefits which is why redness looked quieter during my trial.
Preservatives and stabilisers deserve a quick nod. Phenoxyethanol safeguards against microbial growth at under 1 percent. BHT, a synthetic antioxidant, stops the oils from oxidising. Both are considered safe at the levels used here though extremely sensitive skin may prefer formulas without them. Fragrance appears near the end and while I experienced no stinging it is something fragrance-sensitive readers should flag.
The blend is free of animal-derived raw materials so it is suitable for vegans and vegetarians. There are no retinoids or salicylic acids that typically raise pregnancy red flags, however phenoxyethanol and BHT are still debated in prenatal circles. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding play it safe and clear any new topical with your healthcare provider first.
Otherwise the ingredient list is refreshingly simple for the price tag, relying on tried-and-true moisturisers rather than flashy actives. That minimalism is exactly why the cream does a solid job of basic hydration though it also explains the limited wrinkle correction seen in my two week run.
What I Liked/Didn’t Like
Here is the snapshot of wins and trade offs after two weeks of nightly use.
What Works Well:
- Light cream texture sinks in quickly yet keeps skin comfortably hydrated through the night
- Allantoin and shea butter help calm mild redness so the complexion looks more even by morning
- Leaves a smooth silicone slip that makes next day makeup glide without pilling
- Budget friendly option that is widely available in high street stores
What to Consider:
- Tacky film can linger for around ten minutes so those who dislike any residue may find it fussy
- Plumping effect is short term so deeper expression lines remain unchanged
- Contains fragrance which may not suit very sensitive or reactive skin types
My Final Thoughts
An effective overnight treatment is like a dependable late-night friend: it shows up quietly, does the job while you are unconscious and leaves you looking better than you deserve at 7 a.m. Hydralift Hyaluron Night Cream-Fluid fits that description if what you need is uncomplicated hydration and a calm barrier rather than a full-scale rewiring of collagen architecture. After fourteen nights I can say its claims of “deep restoration” are a smidge theatrical yet not entirely off base; skin does wake plumper and less blotchy, it just returns to business as usual once you cleanse. I have rotated through more bedtime jars than sitcom reruns and feel I gave this one a fair audition. For normal, combination or slightly dry skin on a strict budget it is a pleasant, fragrance-forward choice. Oily or seriously age-concerned complexions will likely crave stronger actives.
Was I impressed? Moderately. Hydralift scores a respectable 7/10 in my logbook and I would recommend it to a friend who views skincare as maintenance rather than makeover. Would I keep it in my own line-up? Only as a backup for travel or post-treatment recovery when my barrier needs a simple cuddle.
If you like the price point yet want a cream with broader skills Nocturnal Revive Cream by Deascal is an excellent all-rounder that has never let me down across seasons and skin moods. For a silkier feel and a hint of peptide repair Advanced Night Restore by Medik8 is lovely, while devotees of spa-like textures might prefer Pro-Collagen Night Cream by ELEMIS. Should you lean toward bouncy water-gel finishes Water Sleeping Mask by LANEIGE remains the gold standard for hitting the pillow dewy and rising without greasiness. I have used each of these enough times to vouch for their quirks and strengths.
Before you slather anything new please consider sensitivities, existing actives in your regimen and of course your wallet. Patch test behind the ear or along the jaw for a couple of nights first—sorry to sound like an over-protective parent but your face will thank you. Remember too that the plush results you see after a decent night’s sleep are temporary trophies: keep using the product consistently if you want them to stick around.
