Overview

A night cream from Principal Secret in a butter texture, sized at 0.51 fluid ounces with a mint scent, aimed at addressing acne and redness overnight.

The mint scent is unusual for a night cream, since most overnight formulas go unscented to avoid irritating skin while it is meant to be recovering. Amazon lists it for all skin types and adult use, with acne and redness named as the two specific concerns it targets.

  • 0.51 fl oz night cream
  • Butter texture, mint scent
  • Addresses acne and redness
  • For adult use, all skin types

Who it's for

Could suit someone who wants a scented night cream aimed at calming redness and acne, but the small 0.51 fl oz size makes it more of a trial or travel amount than a full-size jar.

Strengths and trade-offs

Drawn from this product's published specifications.

What stands out
  • Rich butter texture for overnight use
  • Targets acne and redness specifically
  • Formulated for all skin types
What to check first
  • Only 0.51 fl oz, a small size for a night cream
  • Mint scent unusual for an overnight formula and may not suit fragrance-sensitive skin

Performance notes

As a butter-form cream, it is designed to sit on skin overnight and deliver a richer, more occlusive layer than a lotion, which is typical for products addressing redness by reinforcing the skin barrier. The mint scent is a fragrance addition rather than an active ingredient, so it will not itself treat acne or redness.
