Martha Stewart Launches Elm Biosciences Night Cream

“I wake up looking really good,” Martha Stewart told me when we spoke on the phone in December 2025. Although I would presume that’s true most of the time, she was specifically talking about the effect of using the new A3O Elemental Night Cream from Elm Biosciences, a brand co-founded by her and Dhaval Bhanusali, MD.

There are hundreds, probably thousands, of night creams on the market, and “I have tried pretty much everything that is well-made on my face and my body,” Stewart told InStyle. But despite all of her trials and experience, “I want to see results…and I really wasn’t finding anything that I felt was the best thing.” This was the impetus for this renewing, firming, wrinkle-smoothing, and hydrating night cream. “The goal is to wake up and see a face that isn’t all lined and tired. Skin that looks fresh, clear, and plump.” Stewart applies this night cream to her face and neck, but also on her arms and hands. “I wake up with my face looking as youthful and fresh as possible.”

With the typical meticulousness you associate with Stewart, the A3O Elemental Night Cream does not merely rely on tried and true ingredients. Elm Biosciences has innovated and created a fourth-generation retinoid that is “great for sensitive skin,” Dr. Bhanusali said. It’s going to give you the best of vitamin A’s fine line-plumping and skin tone-evening benefits but without itchiness, redness, or other irritation. Plus, the formula is packed with ectoin and carnosine; the former is an antioxidant that prevents further signs of aging while turning the clock back on what’s already there. The latter is a peptide that restores volume, bounce, and hydration.

The brand began with its A3O Elemental Serum, a tightness-improving treatment, and an oral supplement that targets aging from the inside out. The A3O Elemental Night Cream is the latest to join the roster with a campaign fronted by supermodel 57-year-old model Helena Christensen, who Stewart called “one of the great beauties of the modeling industry…she continues to be awe-inspiring and is aging gracefully in every way.”

Elm Biosciences’s new A3O Elemental Night Cream is now available, and as evidenced by Christensen and Martha Stewart, it’s the best decision you can make for your skin.
