I had not heard about Nerium skin care until a friend asked if I wanted to try it out for 5 days to see the results. She knows I love new beauty products, so I jumped on it.
I followed the instructions closely. Take before pictures from the front and both sides before I start using it. I was only to apply it once a day, at night, after taking all my makeup off.
It comes in a normal box, nothing wild.
I took my before pics on a Saturday morning and started using Nerium AD Sunday night.
I really like the applicator packaging. A cute, tiny plastic leaf seals the opening and it’s a pump, so it keeps those germy fingers out. Plus it looks cool on the counter.
Results:
First pic from Saturday on the left. After pic in the following Saturday on the right. The only explanation for lighting differences is the left pic was taken at sunrise, the right of taken at sunset.
You can see my sunken eyes, the deep frown at the corner of the mouth and the sagging nasolabial folds at the corner of the nose. Rejuvederm, anyone? I see a lot of smoothing, plumping, and general complexion evenness.
The same is seen on the left side. My dark circles aren’t so dark, the redness next to my nose is reduced, the folks on my eyelids aren’t so pronounced.
Lots of people complain about the smell, I liked it. Some didn’t care for the mask like tightening effect after application. I liked that part, too. My skin looked way better in the mornings.
My only complaints were that my mineral foundation did not like to go on in the morning, even after the Nerium had been washed off. I also felt very slow and sluggish and nauseous those 5 days, but ultimately chalked it up to PMS. The price tag is up there, but with so many converts, why not give it a try?
