Nutrius

As we mentioned earlier, the Nutrius line is fairly small, consisting of only a handful of products. These include the company's Advanced Anti Aging and Stretch Mark Cream, as well as an eye cream.

Nutrius Advanced Anti Aging and Stretch Mark Cream promises to solve two of the most frustrating skin problems with one fell swoop. Although initially this cream only promised to soften wrinkles, its manufacturers soon noticed that it also had the potential to fade dark areas and tighten sagging skin all over the body. Of course, it’s only natural to wonder what ingredient is responsible for the incredible results the Nutrius website promises.

Regrettably, the product description chooses not to disclose any of the creams active ingredients. However, through a little research we were able to discover that this product includes Emblica, which is sourced from a Southeast Asian tropical fruit. Also known as Indian Gooseberry, this extract is commonly used in Ayurvedic Medicine as a skin lightener, although some also believe that it may have antioxidant properties. If it is indeed effective, Emblica may help to fade skin discolorations such as stretch marks and liver spots, but we could not find any evidence to support Nutrius's promise that it also helps to soften wrinkles.

Like its product line, the Nutrius website is quite sparse. Although it includes a couple of "Before" and "After" photos, it does not offer any details on how exactly the product works, or what it contains. As anyone who has ever shopped for a wrinkle cream can attest, many companies are long on promises but short on results, and often the only way to assess the true effectiveness of a particular product is to examine the cold, hard facts: the ingredients. Treatment that contain advanced peptide complexes have been shown to be quite effective for increasing collagen synthesis, thus giving skin greater firmness and elasticity.

Those who are interested in purchasing Nutrius problems may encounter further frustration after learning that the manufacturer does not sell the product through its website. Needless to say, this also means that it does not offer free trial samples. In order to try Nutrius products, consumers must seek out another online retailer and submit to that website's return policies, which may or may not be fair.

• Fairly affordable
• Includes Before and After photos

• Products are not available through the company website
• Company does not disclose active ingredients
• No free trial sample available

Many cosmetics manufacturers spread themselves quite thin, producing literally dozens of wrinkle treatments that seem to promise the same things. This is not so with Nutrius. Offering only two anti aging treatments, the company seems to devote all of its resources into developing a small number of very effective treatments.

Therefore, it comes as somewhat of a surprise that the Nutrius website does not reveal a single active ingredient in its formula, leaving consumers to simply take the company on its word. However, given the number of wrinkle treatments currently available, women looking for a cream to help arrest the signs of aging may (rightfully) not wish to take this risk.
