My skin changed after pregnancy. It dries faster, reacts more sensitively and needs more care in the evening than before. Moisture in particular has become even more important for me.
Due to the hormonal changes, less sleep and the new everyday life with a baby, I notice much more quickly when my skin is stressed. She then looks more tired, sometimes tense and no longer feels as balanced. That’s exactly why I’ve been paying more attention to my nighttime care in the last few months.
If you follow me on Instagram, you probably already have mine Reel with the night care from Doctor Eckstein seen. I became aware of the brand because it is important to me to combine the best of nature and science to care for my skin. That is exactly the philosophy of Doctor Eckstein Skincare!

That’s why I chose this night cream!
I tested all the night creams with the samples from the discovery sets in the shop and decided on them Hydra Silk Turmeric Supreme Night Cream decided. On the one hand, because of the active ingredient tetrahydrocurcumin, which comes from the turmeric plant (we’ll go into that in more detail!). Secondly because of the texture. This cream feels really silky on my skin. That was the point at which I immediately thought: This suits my skin.
Doctor Eckstein describes care within the framework of Beautiful aging. I like this much better than classic anti-aging communication. After all, I don’t want to fight my skinbut I want to treat her well. The cream is aimed at demanding or stressed skin and is also suitable for skin that is showing the first signs of aging.
The cream connects Tetrahydrocurcumin, vitamin E acetate and vegan silk protein. It relies on antioxidant care, moisture and a silky skin feeling. Perfect for my evening routine!
What I particularly like about it: The cream doesn’t feel heavy. I only like rich care if it remains pleasant. With this night cream I don’t feel like there is a thick layer on my skin. It absorbs nicely and leaves a nourished, smooth feeling.
Why turmeric is so exciting for the skin
Turmeric is first known from the kitchen. In skin care, however, it’s not about the spice in the classic sense, but rather specific ones Active ingredients from the turmeric plant. Hydra Silk says Turmeric Supreme Tetrahydrocurcumin in the center.
Tetrahydrocurcumin is used in care because of its antioxidant properties. Antioxidants are exciting because our skin deals with external influences every day. Sun, dry air, stress, little sleep and environmental pollution can affect the appearance of the skin.
For me, turmeric for the skin fits particularly well into an evening routine. I want mine in the evening Giving the skin something that supports it without overwhelming it. The care should provide moisture, be pleasant and help my skin appear more balanced again. My skin doesn’t need aggressive care right now or a routine with countless steps. She needs something gentle that still gives her enough.
This is what makes up the ingredients of the care
Tetrahydrocurcumin from the turmeric plant
The most important active ingredient in the night cream is tetrahydrocurcumin. It comes from the turmeric plant and is special because of its antioxidant properties exciting. Antioxidants can help the skin better protect itself against external influences such as environmental pollution, dry air or stress. That’s exactly why the active ingredient fits so well for me in a night cream that is intended to care for stressed skin and make the complexion appear more balanced again.
Vitamin E acetate for antioxidant care
In addition to tetrahydrocurcumin, Hydra Silk Turmeric Supreme also contains vitamin E acetate. Vitamin E is often used in skin care because it has nourishing and antioxidant properties.
Vitamin E acetate therefore makes sense as a supplement to the turmeric active ingredient. This means that the cream does not act like a simple moisturizer, but rather like a night care product that is more responsive to the needs of stressed skin.
Vegan silk protein and that special feeling on the skin
The ingredient that I most associate with the feel of the cream when applying is vegan silk protein. The cream feels soft, smooth and very comfortable on the skin. That was exactly the reason why I wanted to continue using it immediately after the first test.
Texture is extremely important to me when it comes to skin care. No matter how good the ingredients are, a cream can have it. If it sticks, feels heavy, or has an unpleasant finish, I won’t use it regularly.
Things were different with Hydra Silk Turmeric Supreme. I applied it and immediately noticed that my skin needed this feeling. It feels cared for but not weighed down.
Why I tested the cream using a Discovery Set
I first got to know Doctor Eckstein’s night creams through a Discovery Set. I think this really makes sense when it comes to skin care. Especially when it comes to facial care, you often only notice whether a product suits your skin when you try it out. In the Discovery Set Glow You can get to know the following products for currently 7.50 euros:
- Cleaning: Sample Cleansing Milk Supreme
- Toner: Sample toner
- Skin care serum: Sample Active Concentrate Brightening Complex
- Cream for day/night: Sample Hydra Silk Turmeric Balm (morning), 4.8 ml Travel-Size Hydra Silk Turmeric Supreme (evening)
- Pack: Sample vitamin pack
This is also perfect for a trip or weekend getaway! I packed the samples on my trip to Vietnam in May and was well taken care of.
My conclusion about Hydra Silk Turmeric Supreme
In my 20s, I didn’t use night cream at all and wondered whether I really had to. Another care product? Why not just use the day cream? Most of the time I just cleansed and cared for my skin in the morning. Today, at almost 40, my care routine and my skin needs have changed significantly. I look forward to my time for myself in the evenings, celebrating removing make-up and also the subsequent care. So I go to bed with a good (skin) feeling!
If you are curious about Doctor Eckstein or are not sure which night care is right for your skin, I would start with a Discovery Set. This way you can get to know the products at your leisure and feel for yourself which texture and which care suits your skin best. Do you already use a night cream regularly? What is particularly important to you?
