Nutrius Review
Editor's Review: 3.4 / 5.0

Overview

Nutrius is a four product anti-aging skin care system which is to be used not only on the face and neck, but on the entire body. The makers of Nutrius claim that this system is “the most innovative, scientifically advanced approach to skincare in the last forty years”. Nutrius is said to “re-energize new skin cells, repair damaged skin, and strengthen skin’s ability to produce its own natural collagen for healthier, younger, and more vibrant skin”. The Nutrius system consists of several different products including DermaCleanse, Embelica Serum, Eye Cream, Face Lift Cream, and others.

The Good

  • The official website for Nutrius offers many customer testimonials as well as doctor recommendations for the effectiveness of the product.
  • Nutrius provides a full product ingredient list for every item in the skin care system.

The Bad

  • The product does not contain the most powerful anti-aging ingredients available, such as lab-tested peptides.
  • We could not find clinical studies or data to verify the product’s effectiveness.
  • Before and after photos are not posted online from consumers who have tried the product with successful results.
  • A four-step regimen could become tedious for some people.
  • Products contain parabens, which can irritate sensitive skin.

The Bottom Line

The main ingredient, Embelica, is derived from a fruit which is supposed to reduce free radical damage and help even out skin tone. The Nutrius website provides a lot of information about how Embelica works, but does not provide access to clinical studies which could demonstrate the product’s effectiveness. Though it does have some ingredients that have shown positive effects at reducing wrinkles, it does not have the most effective ingredients on the market.

Hydroxatone Bottle

Top Wrinkle Cream for 2010: Hydroxatone

After looking at literally hundreds of wrinkle reduction and prevention treatments, Hydroxatone is our top choice. This product offers customers a Risk-Free Trial, and contains all four of the most effective and exciting ingredients for reversing and preventing wrinkles: Matrxyl 3000®+ Argireline® + SPF + Hyuloronic Acid.

Hydrolyze Bottle

(Optional- For Enhanced Results): Hydrolyze

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
