NuGlow Review

On this website critics examine a number of popular health and beauty products available on the market today. The information presented on the site about each of the products assessed has been obtained from publicly available sources. Those critics and this web site are sponsored by Rauscher | Bekke, manufacturers of Dermapril-SP. The information on this website is intended to inform and educate consumers.

Overview:

Established in 2003, NuGlow is focused on providing high quality skin care products at affordable prices. NuGlow accomplishes this through a direct to customer sales model. The company has 17 U.S. patents and 80 foreign patents for its products. NuGlow products aim to improve skin appearance and reduce signs of aging.

NuGlow's patented copper tripeptide penetrates the skin and enhances the tissue building processes of collagen and elastin, which help keep skin from sagging. NuGlow's products have been shown to improve firmness, clarity and smoothness, while reducing fine lines, coarse wrinkles and mottled pigmentation.

Product Details:

NuGlow's products include 3, 4, and 5-piece full treatment kits, which contain an assortment of products including its copper peptide serum, a daytime therapy, a nighttime therapy, a therapeutic cleanser and a copper peptide eye therapy. NuGlow's copper peptide serum delivers the patented copper tripeptide complex and antioxidants for healthier skin, while also protecting skin against free radicals. NuGlow's products are designed to be used in combination. Thus each of NuGlow's kits contains products for a full skincare regimen. NuGlow products can be purchased individually, as well.

NuGlow also offers an advanced version of its copper peptide serum, which adds retinol to boost the effectiveness of the treatment. In tests, NuGlow's patented copper tripeptide has been shown to be more effective in enhancing collagen levels than Vitamin C creams or Retinoid products. NuGlow also offers vitamins to complement its topical products. These include a vitamin supplement developed by NuGlow in conjunction with Vitamin Research, Inc. Other products include sun protection lotion, a botanical extract purifying mask, makeup remover, seaweed exfoliating soap and blemish treatment.

NuGlow's website offers testimonials and a free 30-day trial. It also offers free membership opportunities in its NuGlow Skincare Club; members receive discounts, flexible shipping and news updates. The Skincare club also enrolls members in an automatic refill program. Customers can change the products in their refill or cancel their membership by phone or via the website.

The Good:

  • NuGlow offers a 60-day guarantee on all its products.
  • Products can be purchased from NuGlow's official website.
  • Product contains Copper Peptides.

The Bad:

  • Official website does not provide all ingredients for all products.
  • Products are only available via the official website, or by phone.
  • Customers must become members of the Skincare Club to purchase products.

The Bottom Line:

NuGlow's website provides a helpful resource for customers wishing to know more about the science behind its skincare products. NuGlow's free SkinCare Club membership provides online-only customers with significant savings. However, since the products are only available direct from the company, customers may not have easy access to the products or to customer service, but must conduct all such at a distance. The lack of adequate information about the ingredients of NuGlow's products may be difficult for customers with allergies, especially because of the direct-from-company sales structure.

Our top pick for 2008:  Dermapril-SP

Dermapril-SP was rated the best-in-class performer, with a cutting-edge formula and results visible immediately after use. Matrixyl 3000™, the primary active ingredient in Dermapril-SP, is backed by clinical research that showed reduction in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles of as much as 33% after two months of use. Additionally, the formula contains the European miracle ingredient Argatensyl™, which creates an immediate tightening effect on applied areas, making results visible within minutes of use.

The treatment helps the skin regain a more youthful biochemical makeup by supporting the natural production of three building blocks – Collagen, Fibronectin and Hyaluronic Acid. The result is a rapid rejuvenation, diminishing the appearance of wrinkles and other cosmetic signs of age caused by sun exposure, smoking, stress, and other common factors.

In clinical trials, Matrixyl 3000™ decreased the appearance of wrinkles by as much as 33% over a six week period. With the immediate tightening benefits of Argatensyl™, this formula has a completely unique combination of short-term cosmetic results as well as sustained, cumulative benefits to the skin. Common reported results include smoothing and firming; softer skin; diminished appearance of fine lines and wrinkles; and healthier looking, glowing skin. Based on the high cost and quality of the ingredients, Dermapril-SP is reasonably priced. Customer satisfaction seems high and Dermapril-SP offers a risk-free trial, so users can evaluate the product prior to paying the full retail price.
