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.
I bought the Nutrius Aloe & Green Tea Replenish Body Lotion. Have you had any problems with allergic reactions to this? I have itching that is about to drive me nuts and my hands are swelling and itching off !

I also seen this product at Wal-Mart. I was wanting a good Shampoo/Conditioner for color treated hair. When I bought this product I was very disapointed the conditioner container plastics around the bottle started to bubble up. A piece broke off the lid when I dropped it, and it constantly sucked in; it didnt want to sit like a regular bottle would. THe worst part tho is that Ive been using this for maybe a month in a half and I started noticing my scalp was score, its gotten worse to were it feels like I have sores all over my head. On top of that My hair has broke off EVERywhere on the top and front of my head. Im soooo very disgusted with this, Ive always had beautiful and healthy hair. Im very upset with this product. So if I was you I would not Try it.
