The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other anti-aging skincare: serums, night creams, facial peels, wrinkle patches and anti-aging devices we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
['Hempz is best known for hemp-derived body and hair products, but this night cream expands into face care with a vitamin C focus and a calming lavender and chamomile scent. The 3-fluid-ounce size is larger than most competing products at this price, making it particularly strong on cost per ounce.', 'The formula is vegan, cruelty-free, and gluten-free, which covers the most requested clean formulation credentials. Vitamin C as the listed key ingredient supports a skin-brightening positioning, and the product targets the appearance of acne and pores in addition to general overnight care.', 'The UV protection benefit listed in the specs is an unusual claim for a night cream and likely refers to antioxidant support rather than SPF. Buyers should not substitute this for a daytime sunscreen. The 4.6-star rating from 259 buyers is a strong signal of consistent satisfaction.']

Performance notes
Vitamin C is an antioxidant that may support the appearance of brighter, more even-toned skin with consistent use. Lavender and chamomile are botanical ingredients known for calming skin and reducing the appearance of redness. The gluten-free certification matters primarily for the small group of people with gluten skin sensitivity. The UV protection benefit listed likely refers to antioxidant activity, not SPF, so users should continue using a daytime SPF separately.
What buyers say
259 ratings with a 4.6-star average is impressive for a product under $15. The high rating and the fact that 3 buyers purchased in the last month suggests steady, genuine demand. Buyers appear pleased with the texture, scent, and perceived skin feel results.

Frequently asked questions
Does the Hempz night cream contain hemp or CBD?
The listing does not identify hemp extract or CBD as key ingredients. The brand Hempz is hemp-focused in many of its products, but the primary listed active here is vitamin C. If hemp seed oil or extract is present, it would be as a supporting ingredient not highlighted in the main specs. Check the full ingredient list on the product packaging for confirmation.
Can I use this on acne-prone skin?
The product targets the appearance of acne and pores in its spec data, and it is listed for all skin types. Vitamin C and chamomile both have soothing and antioxidant properties that may support acne-prone skin. That said, individual responses to any cream formula vary, especially for acne-prone skin, so introducing it gradually makes sense.
