Nuskin products reviews

Nu Skin… everyone’s heard of it, some people love it and can’t get enough, others give it a bad review and even call it a "nu skin mlm". So if you don’t know who to believe and haven’t made your mind up about ordering Nuskin products, I completely understand!

Like many of you, I’m pretty sceptical when it comes to cosmetic brands that use ‘multi-level marketing’ or ‘network marketing’ (and that aren’t available in shops*)… But after testing the Younique cosmetics, I changed my mind. It’s no secret that there are a lot of scams in this industry… so when I’m contacted about this type of product, I am careful to make sure the company is genuine.

So, if I’m telling you about Nu Skin today, that’s because I judge this company and nu skin produts to be credible and effective! 😄

The first thing that reassured me about Nu Skin’s credibility was the date the company was founded. It was launched in the USA in 1984, so it’s far from being a new company. The second was finding out the huge investments that this brand devotes to the research of its products (more than 75 scientists work for Nu Skin), to guarantee innovative products that meet the highest standards of quality. To avoid getting lost in scientific gibberish… put simply, OK, that’s good, that means we won’t use products on our skin that come from any old laboratory.

Nu Skin is best known for its anti-ageing cosmetics and technologies, like the ageLOC Galvanic Spa, but it also offers treatments suitable for all skin types and even makeup. I tested various Nu Skin products and I’ll give you my verdict on each of them in this article !

What Are The Top 10 Best Nu Skin Products?

Nu Skin offers an extensive collection of skin care products, including facial cleansers, moisturizers, serums, exfoliators, body care, skin care devices, and more. Interestingly, the Nu Skin Tanner is the brand’s most popular product. We’ll give you the details on this self tanner and the other best selling Nu Skin products below.

Pharmanex Tegreen from Nu Skin

Pharmanex Tegreen is one of the most googled products from Nu Skin! And it should be! I was so convinced by this product that when I finished my first cleanse, I couldn’t wait to order it again and recommend it to others.

Essentially, this food supplement contains a green tea extract taken from its leaves which boosts our body’s natural defences by protecting our cells and tissues from oxidative stress caused by free radicals.

It’s hard to find a product with a greater concentration of antioxidants.

1 capsule = The benefits of 7 cups of green tea*

*I should point out that the concentration of caffeine is extremely low, each capsule is 99.5% caffeine-free

What are the main benefits of Tegreen capsules?

• Powerful antioxidants that protect our cells from free radicals naturally present in our body or from pollution, stress, cigarette smoke and toxins.

• Fights water retention. This is perfect for those of us with tired, heavy legs.

• Helps digestion, aids elimination thanks to its draining properties and reduces bloating. Great the whole year round and even more effective during periods of excess such as the holiday season.

To sum up: Tegreen will help you to feel lighter, less bloated and simply full of vitality.

The quality really is exceptional : it has been compared many times to other commercially available green tea capsules. Other brands leave your body with a great deal more toxins to eliminate compared to Tegreen. Nu Skin’s green tea capsules are produced in Switzerland and are certified by the manufacturers to guarantee consistent quality.

Nu Color Curling Mascara black from Nu Skin

Now let’s talk about makeup. Lately, we’ve been seeing more and more mascaras with curved brushes. Although that might be surprising at first, we can quickly understand why this design is so popular. I’ll get straight to the point: goodbye clumpy lashes! The eyelashes are separated which makes them look more curled, and they don’t stick together.

The only thing I wasn’t sure about when first ordering the Nu Skin Nu Colour Curling Mascara was that it wasn’t written anywhere that the mascara was waterproof. But, the kind of girl I am means that I ended up trying and approving this product in a couple of tearful moments. 😂 On top of that, wearing this mascara in the UK’s weather conditions certainly put it to the test…

What sets this mascara apart from others: Its curved and flexible brush is designed for easy and quick application. It leaves your lashes beautifully curled, giving you a striking look.

Xanthan gum is a thickener that is generally used at a concentration of 1%, but as little as 0.1% can be used in many applications. This means you’re getting less than 1% of the key ingredients!

What Are The Key Ingredients in Nu Skin Products?

After evaluating the best Nu Skin products, we noticed that the products are formulated with a mix of commonly used skincare ingredients along with some proprietary ingredients. For example, the brand uses common ingredients like vitamin C, vitamin E, sodium hyaluronate, alpha hydroxy acids, silicones, and emollients in their products.

In addition to these commonly used skincare ingredients, the Nu Skin products contain proprietary blends. For example, the Nu Skin ageLOC Tru Face Essence Ultra contains the “ageLOC Proprietary Blend” and “Tru Face FirmPlex”. The brand does not disclose the ingredients that make up these blends, so we cannot comment on how the ingredients will affect your skin.

While we don’t 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, “Nu 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.”

We did notice the 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.

Silicones give the products a silky, smooth skin feel while also improving the product’s spreadability. An emollient 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.

Lastly, it’s important to keep in mind that nearly all of the Nu Skin products contain synthetic fragrance ingredients. The use of synthetic fragrance ingredients can be a problem because the brand can use a proprietary blend of chemicals to create the fragrance, and they do not have to disclose which chemicals they use on the label. They are allowed to list this blend as “Fragrance (Parfum)” on the ingredient list.

A 2018 study by Women’s Voices for the Earth discovered that in over 3,000 chemicals reportedly used for fragrances, 1,242 were chemicals of concern – and that included at least 7 possible carcinogenic (cancer-causing) agents. Fragrance ingredients also have the potential to cause skin irritation and sensitivity.
