 <\/p>\n

Founded in 1984, Nu Skin is a multilevel-marketing company that distributes more than 200 anti-aging products in both the personal care and nutritional supplements categories.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Nu Skin is a brand that leads with science, which is demonstrated through their comprehensive product portfolio and the scientific research that has been conducted on their products and published in scientific journals.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We also lead with science here at <\/span>The Derm Review<\/span>, which is why we\u2019ve evaluated the Nu Skin product formulations through a scientific lens. Below we\u2019ll discuss the research that supports (or doesn\u2019t support) the ingredients that you\u2019ll find in these products.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We\u2019ll also share Nu Skin reviews so that you can get an idea of what customers really think of these products.<\/span><\/p>\n

Is Nu Skin Products Worth The Money?<\/span><\/h2>\n

A common question about this brand is if the products are worth the cost. Nu Skin products are expensive, for example, the Nu Skin Facial Spa is $403.<\/p>\n

In our opinion, Nu Skin products aren\u2019t worth the money, simply because there are other skincare brands that offer similar products that are less expensive.<\/p>\n

One brand is Carrot & Stick,<\/a><\/strong><\/span>\u00a0a clean skincare brand that perfectly balances the gentle nurturing of plants with the powerful results of innovative science.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s Inside Nu Skin Products?<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

After evaluating the best Nu Skin products, we noticed that the formulations include evidence-based ingredients, such as vitamin C and peptides, as well as proprietary ingredients.\u00a0 Let\u2019s take a closer look at how these ingredients can improve your skin.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Vitamin C
\n<\/b>We’ve been hearing for years that Vitamin C is the best anti-aging ingredient. Vitamin C is a potent antioxidant that protects the skin from free radicals, the unstable molecules that contribute to the formation of premature wrinkles and fine lines on the skin.<\/span><\/p>\n

It’s in Nu Skin 180 Face Wash. This rich, creamy face wash features 10% pure vitamin C (ascorbic acid) as the key ingredient. It\u2019s said to target age spots and discoloration while also helping to diminish the appearance of wrinkles and firm the skin.<\/span><\/p>\n

While vitamin C can provide these benefits, it\u2019s better to use this ingredient in a leave-on product, such as a vitamin C serum. Using a face wash with vitamin C doesn\u2019t give this ingredient much time to work before you rinse it off.<\/span><\/p>\n

But our favorite Vitamin C serum is Carrot & Stick The Defence Serum<\/a>. It contains 3 distinct types of Vitamin C that work together to help fight free radical damage. We recommend using it every morning.<\/span><\/p>\n

Peptides
\n<\/b>As you age, your body\u2019s production of collagen and elastin slows down. These two proteins are responsible for your skin’s structural support. As a result, the skin loses its natural plumpness and smoothness.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

While collagen is necessary for maintaining youthful-looking skin, the collagen protein is too large to absorb into the skin topically. That’s why applying skin care products that contain collagen won’t provide the anti-aging benefits you’re looking for.<\/span><\/p>\n

This is where peptides come into action. Peptides are the building blocks of protein, and they are easily absorbed into the deeper layers of skin due to their smaller size.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Nu Skin ageLOC Dermatic Effects contains palmitoyl oligopeptide as one of the key ingredients to help visibly smooth the appearance of fat and cellulite and visibly firm skin.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re looking for a peptide serum for your face, we recommend <\/span>Carrot & Stick The Repair Serum<\/a><\/strong>. It contains 7 plant-based peptides to promote plumper and smoother-looking skin.<\/span><\/p>\n

Everything Else
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

ageLOC Proprietary Blend and Tru Face FirmPlex
\n<\/b>In addition to vitamin C and peptides, the Nu Skin products contain proprietary blends. For example, the Nu Skin ageLOC Tru Face Essence Ultra contains the \u201cageLOC Proprietary Blend\u201d and \u201cTru Face FirmPlex\u201d. The brand does not disclose the ingredients that make up these blends, so we cannot comment on how the ingredients will affect your skin.<\/span><\/p>\n

While we don\u2019t know the exact ingredients used to formulate the ageLOC proprietary blend, we did discover that the ingredients are able to influence your genes. Dr. Joseph Chang, Chief Scientific Officer & Executive Vice President of Product Development at Nu Skin told Forbes, \u201cNu Skin scientists are able to identify the gene expression that influences ageing and select the ingredients that can affect the genes, so that these genes can start to behave like young genes again. This is our proprietary ageLOC Science that forms the basis of our skin care and nutritional products.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Silicones and Emollients
\n<\/b>We noticed that many of the Nu Skin products contain high concentrations of silicones and emollients. For example, the top 6 ingredients in the Nu Skin ageLOC Tru Face Essence Ultra include two silicones (cyclopentasiloxane, dimethiconol), squalane, caprylic\/capric triglyceride, olive oil, and safflower oil.<\/span><\/p>\n

Silicones give the products a silky, smooth skin feel while also improving the product\u2019s spreadability. An <\/span>emollient<\/a><\/strong> is an oily substance that fills in the spaces between dead skin cells, thus creating a smooth skin surface. Basically, an emollient is a film forming substance that makes the skin feel and look smooth. The inclusion of silicones and emollients in Nu Skin products will help to keep your skin soft and smooth.<\/span><\/p>\n
