NuFACE Hydrating Leave-On Gel Primer 59ml

Product Information

Achieve a salon-similar complexion with innovative, at-home microcurrent technology. Traditionally offered at clinics and spas around the world, microcurrent facials give your facial muscles a workout to sculpt and define your features. Channelling this youth-boosting tech into their state-of-the-art devices, now we can enjoy the luxury (and incredible results) of microcurrent from the comfort of our homes. I really like the idea of my skin absorbing extra goodies during the sessions, so I also tried some inexpensive conducting gels formulated specifically for home beauty devices, and with added skincare goodies. It’s reassuring that Tera from Nuface did confirm during an #FactOrFaux IGTV episode that Ultrasound transmission gels do work well with microcurrent! Yay! The brand's goal is to provide women with the opportunity to combat common signs of ageing, such as tired skin, sagging eyelids and less defined contours, without leaving their own homes or paying a lot of money to visit skincare specialists. Each toning device stimulates the creation of elastin and collagen, minimising wrinkles, lifting facial contours and leaving skin looking more radiant. Nuface call their latest leave-on microcurrent conductive gels ‘Activators’. They’re a blend of conductive ions and skincare goodie ingredients.

Both the gels are easy to apply. They don’t drip or sting, and you get a nice even application with the brush. One pump of juice per area gives lovely slip, and stays wet for ages – long enough to do the glides, advanced holds and ELE if you use it. But one pump is far too much for my forehead – I find just a half pump is plenty here. I also paint the last bit on the brush over my eyelids and my under eye area too. Yup, I like the Nuface Hydrating Aqua Gel It’s true Nuface do a rather splendid job of bigging up their hi-tech Activator gels, or as they call them ‘Ionized skincare’. See how Nuface do it here ( but don’t forget to finish up here first!). I think their message is loud and clear – you must use these to activate the microcurrent and to get (as they say) optimal results. Why Nuface say their activators are the bestest Not only is there slightly less product in each tub of Activator vs the older primer gels, but the Activators are way less affordable. E.g.This alternative cosmetic conductive gel from UB has moisturising collagen and HA ingredients in a pleasant leave-on formula. I apply a simple Hyaluronic Acid serum and copper peptide serum under the gel. Some of the flavours are proper pricey, but these gels last months of almost daily use. Available in Silver, Gold and Crystal varieties.

The clear Aqua Gel looks and feels most like a microcurrent gel. It’s clear, scentless and cool, and I feel no zinging or dragging as I do my routine. It’s easy to massage in any remaining gel once I’m finished. My skin feels fresh, smooth and hydrated aftwards, not overloaded at all. I don’t need any more serums to follow, but I like a ceramide based moisturiser as a final softening touch to seal in all the goodness. It’s a good base to apply make-up on too. I like this gel 👍. I want to like it, but it won’t absorb into my skin, so feels better to wash it off. Oil-based liquids are non-conductive, which means they have no freely moving ions. Oils stop microcurrent flowing, so, it’s vital to use a water-based conductivity gel. Microcurrent flows using ions from other substances dissolved in water. And maybe it’s not all about the cost. Some users share the Nuface activators leave their skin red and bumpy, so they need another option anyway. And so you know what they look like, here are the new and old Nuface gels: The New Hydrating Aqua Gel (left) and the older Hydrating Gel Primer (right) both by Nuface. The NEW Firming & Brightening Silk Creme microcurrent activator (left) and the older 24K Gold gel primer (right), both by Nuface. What’s special about the Nuface Activators? So, this suggests if you don’t use their activators then the microcurrent won’t reach your muscles. And it must reach your muscles to do its thing, right?this] blend of electrically charged minerals and glacial water deliver a surge of active ingredients for optimal results and healthy, younger-looking skin”.
