Korres might ring a bell for some skincare enthusiasts, but it might also be new to those who haven’t yet ventured beyond more familiar beauty aisles. The brand describes its Greek Yoghurt Probiotic Quench Sleeping Facial as an “overnight facial in a jar,” designed to nourish skin with real Greek yoghurt while it repairs itself through the night. It’s certainly a mouthful of a name, and its promise to “wake up looking well rested with a healthy-looking complexion” has earned it quite a bit of attention.
This night cream is marketed for those looking to give their skin a serious hydration boost, especially if dryness or dullness is a concern. For a full week, I put this product to the test, applying it nightly to see if it could deliver on its claims. Since I’m no stranger to the world of skincare, I wanted to find out if this Greek yoghurt-inspired formula would live up to the hype and justify its price.

What Is Greek Yoghurt Probiotic Quench Sleeping Facial?
This product is an overnight treatment that falls under the category of night creams. Night creams are typically used right before bed to support the skin’s rejuvenation process, which naturally occurs while you sleep. Korres describes its formula as an “overnight facial in a jar,” with real Greek yoghurt meant to provide hydration to dry or dull complexions. The idea is to allow the skin to benefit from nourishing ingredients throughout the night, resulting in a more refreshed look by morning.
Did It Work?
In the name of science, I temporarily put aside my usual night cream for seven days, which felt a bit dramatic at first, but I wanted to make sure I gave this Greek Yoghurt Probiotic Quench Sleeping Facial a fair shot. Every evening, I scooped a small amount onto clean skin, massaged it in, and let it do its thing overnight.
Initially, I noticed a comforting, cooling sensation, probably thanks to the yoghurt-inspired formula, and my skin seemed nicely hydrated by morning. As the days went on, I appreciated how lightweight it felt, never making my skin greasy or leaving any strange residue on my pillow. By mid-week, I’d started to see that my skin looked less dull, which was a pleasant surprise. However, my complexion didn’t necessarily look “transformed” in any spectacular way, just gently moisturized and maybe a bit calmer than usual.
By day seven, I’d say the results stayed consistent: my skin felt nourished but not significantly different from what I’d normally get out of a tried-and-true night cream. While it did quench my skin and delivered on a subtle glow, the overall change didn’t feel remarkable enough to justify swapping out my usual product long-term. I liked using it, and it did provide decent hydration, but I don’t think it’s earned a permanent place on my bathroom shelf just yet.
Greek Yoghurt Probiotic Quench Sleeping Facial’s Main Ingredients Explained
One of the first things that stands out about this formula is, of course, the real Greek yoghurt. It’s intended to provide protein and probiotics to support the skin’s microbiome, helping to soothe dryness and dullness. Because dairy is a key component here, the product isn’t suitable for anyone who strictly follows a vegan lifestyle, although it can be acceptable for vegetarians, depending on individual preferences about dairy. Alongside the yoghurt, there’s a roster of botanical oils and extracts, like jojoba seed oil and chia seed oil, selected for their emollient and moisturizing properties.
Beyond the star ingredient, there’s lactic acid (a gentle exfoliant often praised for boosting skin radiance), plus salicylic acid, which can help keep pores clear. While these acids work to smooth and refine skin texture, it’s worth noting that individual tolerances vary. Some heavier emollients in the formula (like hexyldecyl stearate) might be a bit heavier on certain skin types, meaning they could be comedogenic, that is, pore-clogging, for those prone to breakouts. If you’re on the sensitive or acne-prone side, it’s a good idea to patch test before using it all over your face.
Finally, this night cream features fragrance (listed as “PARFUM/FRAGRANCE”). While that’s not necessarily a deal-breaker, those with very reactive skin may want to proceed with caution. Overall, the formula is designed to be hydrating and soothing, leveraging the probiotics and yogurt for a rejuvenating overnight effect. It’s a simple yet effective approach, though whether it’s right for you can depend on how your skin reacts to dairy-derived products and richer emollients.
What I Liked/Didn’t Like
Here’s a quick snapshot of what stood out, both the upsides and possible downsides.
What I Liked:
- Feels light and doesn’t leave a greasy film
- Offers a decent boost of overnight hydration
- Provides a mild soothing effect, especially for slightly dry or dull skin
- Contains probiotics, which may help skin look calmer and less irritated
What I Didn’t Like:
- Might not feel deeply hydrating enough for very dry skin
- Contains fragrance, which could be an issue for those who are sensitive
- The results aren’t dramatically different from other night creams
- Price point may be on the higher side compared to similar products
My Final Thoughts
This sleeping facial promises to transform skin by morning, and while that might be a stretch, there’s enough good here to call it a decent option if you’re into Greek yoghurt-based formulas. Finding a reliable night cream is key to giving skin that extra TLC it needs overnight, and after using Korres Greek Yoghurt Probiotic Quench Sleeping Facial, it’s safe to say it provided satisfactory hydration and a bit of added glow. As someone who has tried countless night creams before, I felt I gave this a fair shake after a solid week of use. The overall verdict? It’s a respectable 7/10. It won’t blow your mind, but it’s not a bad pick if you’re in the market for an overnight hydrator, especially if you have mild dryness and prefer a lightweight feel on your skin. I’d recommend it to a friend who values gentle moisturization over fanfare, but hardcore hydration-seekers might need something richer.
For anyone curious about alternatives, Nocturnal Revive Cream by Deascal is an excellent, covers-all-bases night cream that suits all skin types at a friendlier price point. Another strong contender I’ve personally used is Pro-Collagen Night Cream by ELEMIS, which has a velvety texture and helps smooth skin without feeling heavy. LANEIGE’s Water Sleeping Mask is also a favorite, it’s light yet hydrating, making it a good option for those who want a refreshing gel-cream. These won’t necessarily replicate the Greek yoghurt vibe, but if you’re after similar (or even beefed-up) benefits, they’re worth exploring.
Before slathering on any new product, it’s a good idea to understand your unique skin sensitivities. As with all skincare, patch testing is wise. Keep in mind, too, that the results aren’t magic and will need consistent use to maintain, an essential reality of any overnight cream. Ultimately, if you like the idea of Greek yoghurt nourishment and a subtle glow, Korres Greek Yoghurt Probiotic Quench Sleeping Facial could be worth a try.
