Take the skin testThe Bonajour Bio Active Night Cream is an overnight mask formulated with the Rose of Jericho (resurrection plant) as the key ingredient. It has excellent effects on the skin providing ample moisture and nutrients.
Bio Active Night Cream is a cushioning overnight mask from Bonajour. The formula is built mainly around hydration and soothing. The ingredient list runs to 38 ingredients, each broken down in full below.
By its ingredient list the formula reads as moderately cushioned — emollient enough to feel like a cream, without the heaviest occlusives near the top. The oils in it point to a dewy, emollient finish rather than a matte one. Hydration is handled by Propanediol, Capryloyl Glycerin/sebacic Acid Copolymer and Trehalose, humectants that pull water into the upper layers of skin rather than sealing it there.
Hydration: High. Ingredients that pull and hold water in the upper layers of skin, and here that comes from Propanediol, Capryloyl Glycerin/sebacic Acid Copolymer, Trehalose and Oenothera Biennis Oil.
Soothing: High. Ingredients aimed at visible redness and reactivity, and here that comes from Oenothera Biennis Oil, Niacinamide, Fructan and Glyceryl Glucoside.
On richness alone it suits Balanced skin best, and is the least natural fit for Combination (oily) and Oily skin. Nothing in the list is flagged as a common irritant, which is a reasonable starting point for reactive skin — though a patch test is still the only way to know.
The formula contributes little or nothing on antioxidant protection, cell renewal and firmness signalling. That is not a fault — most products are not meant to do everything — but if one of those is your priority, this is not the product that will address it. One ingredient on the label has not been matched to our database yet, so the analysis above reads a slightly incomplete list.
It does contain essential oils, worth knowing if your skin reacts to any of them.
Use it in the evening. In a routine it goes last step at night. Apply as the final layer so nothing has to push through it.

Drawn purely from the ingredient list
Scored on how rich or light the formula reads from its INCI order.
No ingredient in this formula carries a common-irritant flag, making it a reasonable option for reactive skin. A patch test is still recommended, as individual skin reactivity varies.
