NuFACE Hydrating Leave-On Gel Primer 59ml

Product Information

I feel I use a little more of this gel per session compared to ultrasound gel. But it’s inexpensive and lasts for ages anyway. FYI you can barely feel anything aside from the pleasantly cooling sensation of the metallic spheres hoiking up your skin. Therefore be wary of the carefully crafted and repetitive phrases Nuface are using to make you feel their activators are essential. You do have other options. We’ll look at those later, but next lets look at the FDA clearance and clincal proof for the gels. FDA clearance & clinical proof 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 From my tests, I much prefer the Nuface Aqua Gel to the Silk Creme. It’s better value in the bigger quantity 10oz bottle, but it’s still expensive (especially compared to the older version Nuface Hydrating Primer Gel). Gels! Gels! Gels! I got me all the gels!

Triethanoiamine is also found in other electro-conductive gels. Such gels are advertised for pain relief in TENS machines, muscle stimulation in EMS machines, and for cosmetic devices such as microcurrent too. But there are several other possible conductive ingredients which could be present, such as Sodium Hydroxide. These ingredients are the stated conductive mediums in other FDA-cleared gels. 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.

proprietary blend of electrically charged minerals to nourish the skin and the transfer the microcurrent from your device down to the muscles.” MyNuface.com As with the other gels above, there’s no noticeable difference in my results using this versus the Nuface Activators. Some of the flavours are proper pricey, but these gels last months of almost daily use. Available in Silver, Gold and Crystal varieties. Its mile-long anti-ageing credentials (more radiance, contoured cheekbones and improved wrinkles) also grabbed my attention. Nuface were granted clearance in 2016 in the medical device category “Media, Electroconductive”. The stated indication is:

Nuface call their latest leave-on microcurrent conductive gels ‘Activators’. They’re a blend of conductive ions and skincare goodie ingredients. However, several people on public forums and facebook groups share they love these activators 😍, and swear they see better results from a Nuface session. So, they’re worth it to them. However, a few months ahead of launching the new activators, Nuface contradicted their earlier advice. Boo. MyNuface #FactOrFaux IGTV episode states you CAN’T use Aloe Vera gel with Nuface. And promises a follow-up episode to test/show the conductivity of various gels 🤓🧪⚡🥼 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 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.

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.
