English term or phrase: Crash

Soft, light textured and easily absorbed, this cream is recommended for all skin types, especially for dry, dehydrated skin, as it leaves the epidermis extremely well nourished and moisturized. It is a “crash” day cream based on the properties of Vitamin A in microcapsules (Retinyl Palmitate), transferred to the skin during application. Used every morning, it restores a smooth and luminous aspect

This might be a tough one, but I really appreciate any help. Thanks.

I'm sure that the word is crash then day cream(crash not connected to day)
To make sure
run a search over yahoo on day cream you will find a lot of results. Also, run a search on night cream.
for the translation in this case I guess word مرطب for cream will be more acceptable as in many commercials we watch:
مرطب البشرة النهاري الفعال من خلاصة فيتامين أ
or something like this

Abdelmonem Samir: Khaled, I thought about this, but the expression goes " a crash day", I think that day has to play a role here

10 mins

-> no, it's a crash day cream, to separate then use day cream, this cream might be used to protect from sunlight or anything like this

neutral

Iman Khaireddine: It is indeed a day cream, as opposed to night cream. "Crash" is not related to "day", as you have explained Khaled.

Ala Rabie: it is intensive indeed, but it should also denote the quick/rapid effect as well.

Stephen Franke: Most fitting of the various replies. I may be misinformed, but that slang term "crash" does not seem to be familiar in the contemporary Arabophone world. Awkward context, BTW.

التميز

Explanation:
المتميز

لعل الاسم مشتق من اسم الفيلم الشهير ورغم أن مصطلح
Crash moment
المشتق أيضا من اسم الفيلم يشير إلى الشعور بالتمييز بسبب اللون فإنني أميل للأخذ بالمعني المقابل وهو التميز

Crash is the name of a 1996 film directed by David Cronenberg based on the J. G. Ballard book of the same name.
Example: Los Angeles Mayor declared Tuesday "Crash" Day to honor the cast and crew of the Oscar-winning movie about race relations set in the second biggest U.S. city.

Crash moment, derived from the 2005 movie, is a term which refers to a situation where a person feels discriminated against on the basis of skin color.

Note:
Crash is also a Slang term meaning "cool"
