Founded in 1984, NuSkin produces skin and hair care products, along with a number of anti-aging products. There is a website for NuSkin, but the products cannot be ordered directly from there and it does not give pricing details on the official website. Details of this new anti aging product, formulated in conjunction with Purdue University, were released and launched in October, 2008 at NuSkin’s North American Convention. The product uses ageLOC technology. It was difficult to determine exactly what ageLOC technology is from the company’s information.

Product Details

NuSkin 180 Cell Renewal Fluid is designed to rejuvenate the skin and diminish the signs of aging, such as fine lines and wrinkles, using ingredients Gluconolactone Polyhydroxy Acid and Soy Isofavones, to stimulate collagen production and diminish the signs of aging. No price details are listed on the website so it is hard to say how it compares with other anti-aging products. NuSkin 180 Night Complex contains Creatine as an anti-oxidant. Other ingredients include Gingko Biloba and Macadamia Nut.

The Good

A product is considered “good” for anti-aging if it contains peptides, particularly Matryxil 3000, and gives you a free trial offer. However, we were unable to find either of these listed on the website, but what we were able to determine is the following.

  • They have an official website for NuSkin products, although you cannot order there.
  • They have specific anti-aging products advertised.
  • They did give ingredient details for the anti aging products.

The Bad

We consider a product to be “bad” if it contains parabens, which have been proven to increase risks of breast cancer, and if it is more of a moisturizer or sunscreen rather than a wrinkle fighting product, and it would appear these may both fit NuSkin.

  • Anti-aging products cannot be ordered directly from the official website.
  • No price details are provided for the anti-aging products.
  • The ingredients in the anti-aging products can be found in many anti-aging products.
  • There is no evidence that the anti-aging products are more effective than any similar products on the market.

The Bottom Line

There is no clinical evidence to show the NuSkin anti-aging products are more effective than other anti-aging products that contains similar ingredients. It appears to be a moisturizer like many of the other products that claim to contain anti-aging properties, but actually hydrate the skin instead. While that is still an important part of skin care, it does not necessarily qualify as anti-aging, since it does not contain Matryxil 3000, a known anti-aging ingredient, or other known peptides. Little information is given about the new technology revealed in October or what it contains; maybe further, more detailed information will be available later to give a better picture of why they feel it is improved over previous versions they have on the market.

** Our Top Skin Care Choice **

Nue Science Bottle

Top Wrinkle Cream for 2012: Nue Science

Editor's Review: 4.8 / 5.0

After looking at literally hundreds of wrinkle reduction and prevention treatments, Nue Science Cell Revival is our top choice. This product offers customers a Risk-Free Trial, and makes sure to both repair and protect the skin with Matrixyl 3000 for collagen and Uniprotect-PT-3 for UV protection. No other formula that we've seen takes such a holistic approach to skin care. Matrixyl 3000 is a clinically proven and patented wrinkle-fighting peptide, while Uniprotect-PT-3 is one of the most advanced sun protectors currently on the market. User testimonials on how a formula works says it all, and the Nue Science website provides ample proof. When you factor in the trial offer, the potent formula, and the testimonials and the clinical studies posted on the official site, it's easy to see why Nue Science is our top anti-aging pick. >> Read more about Nue Science Go



Hydrolyze Bottle

(Optional- For Enhanced Results): Hydrolyze

Editor's Review: 4.6 / 5.0

After looking at so many anti-aging treatments, we've seen that the delicate skin around the eyes can be a real problem area for many people. Dark circles can make you look years older, and for some people even a good night's sleep won't make them go away. That's why we were so excited to find Hydrolyze, which has been formulated by industry experts specifically as an under-eye treatment. The makers of Hydrolyze are so confident in their product that they offer potential users a Risk Free Trial so they can see the results for themselves. Hydrolyze contains the break-through ingredient Haloxyl, which has been shown to reduce under-eye discoloration between 40%-60% in a clinical case study. By offering consumers a way to erase the dark circles and wrinkles that often occur under the eyes, Hydrolyze is revolutionizing the skincare industry. >> Read more about Hydrolyze Go

    Are there any benefits using the NuSkin galvanic spa face conductor?

    [Reply]

    Amber Shannon Reply:

    The benefits to using the NuSkin galvanic spa face conductor are basically that because of the channels, the product is not pushed off to the side of your face so the ingredients can better get deep into your skin. Additionally, the shape of the conductor is easier to use than the previous face conductor was, and if you have the new spa, it has a more reliable current than the older model.

    I began using the galvanic spa treatment about 7 weeks ago. It
    has really reduced my smile lines and around my forehead and lips. It’s made a believer out of me!

    Michiko Reply:

    Yes, that’s right. Galvanic Spa delivers ageLOC in side of your skin to stop aging enzyme activity called arnox.

    About Paraben:
    ‘the recent paraben studies were conducted with exaggerated levels of test material ingested or injected into animals rather than applied topically. The conclusion that parabens at extremely low levels in a topical application would produce a similar outcome as an exaggerated use test is without direct evidence and unproven. Since cosmetic products have very low levels of parabens, it is unscientific to assume they could be absorbed through the skin in any significant amount to create adverse effects.’
