Overview
NuVANTE is a health and wellness company that was founded by Ruthie Harper MD. The company manufactures skin care products as well as specific anti-aging products. One of their main anti-aging products is the NuVANTE NuC anti-aging treatment, which was developed in 2006. The major active ingredient in this anti-aging treatment is Vitamin C. We are told that this anti-aging product was created after Ruthie Harper became interested in and studied the health benefits of Vitamin C.
Product Details
The company NuVANTE tells us that NuC was formulated as a solution to signs of aging such as hyper pigmentation, lines and wrinkles. We are told by NuVANTE that regular use of their primary anti-aging product NuC will lead to a reduction in hyper pigmentation as well as fewer lines and wrinkles. We are further told that this product contains no toxic chemicals. Unfortunately we do not see anything extraordinary in this anti-aging product by NuVANTE. The publicity material for NuC by NuVANTE would lead us to believe that the founder of the company discovered something otherwise unknown. In fact the benefits of Vitamin C have been known for more than a century.
This anti-aging product by NuVANTE is just one of hundreds of anti-aging products that contain Vitamin C as a major active ingredient. We know that Vitamin C has significant antioxidant properties and that it can also neutralize free radicals. It is also believed to play a role in the synthesis of collagen. Of course collagen is imperative for keeping the skin looking young and healthy. However experts now believe that peptides have a more important role to play in the synthesis of collagen and there are now powerful peptide combinations available such as Matrixyl 3000. In clinical tests Matrixyl 3000 has been shown to have a positive effect when it comes to reducing the signs of aging.
The Good
- There is an official website for NuVANTE.
- Vitamin C does have antioxidant benefits.
- The anti-aging products by NuVANTE can be ordered directly online.
The Bad
- There are hundreds of products on the market that contain Vitamin C as a major active ingredient.
- There is no evidence that NuC by NuVANTE achieves superior results than other anti-aging creams which contains Vitamin C.
- There does not seem to be an offer of a free trial size sample.
- Peptides are thought to play a more important role in collagen synthesis than Vitamin C.
The Bottom Line
At the end of the day the market is swamped with products that contain Vitamin C as a major active ingredient. We do not have any evidence that NuC by NuVANTE is superior to other similar products available and so we don’t really see why our readers would choose it.
